I used to have watch-mania, and wear three at a time, but then something happened to me and I became basic in my jewelry taste. As soon as I got a load of these new Storm watches, I wanted to go back to my multiple ways! I loved at least \u00be of them, which is quite a high percentage. And the other jewelry pieces were fabulous, as well.<\/p>\n<p>We were also treated to a viewing of their new handbag offerings, but I had really wanted to sneak a peek at their new eyewear. (Get it&#8211;sneak a <em>peek<\/em>? <em>Eye<\/em>wear?) There was quite enough to see, though. And we each got personal \u201ctours\u201d through all the collections from their knowledgeable rep, Erin Williams.<\/p>\n<p>The event was held at a downtown penthouse showroom, and therefore had a hip, loft feel to it, especially with a low-key DJ spinning in the corner. The whole scene was such that, if I saw it in a movie, I would think it was not a real-life experience.<\/p>\n<p>On the way up, the man in charge of the lobby snack bar told us, \u201cOh, it\u2019s a good party up there!\u201d I said, \u201cReally? It looked good?\u201d And he answered, \u201cThere\u2019s champagne!\u201d I thought that was so cute.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1383\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7486.jpg\" title=\"IMG_7486\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1383\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1383\" title=\"IMG_7486\" src=\"http:\/\/www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_7486-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1383\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guess who had already eaten most of these desserts? (Actually, everyone had, not just I.)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And he was correct&#8211;there was champagne. And also lovely small-bite sweet treats, in quite the variety, created by classically-trained pastry chef Belinda Leong, from northern California. I love this very new trend of tiny desserts, so there\u2019s no waste and you can sample them all. And in this case, walk around holding them, without making a mess. (Except for me, of course&#8211;I dropped one right away!) Included were brownie bites, mini-cups of tapioca with fruit, chocolate mousse with chocolate crumbs, fruit tarts, and my favorite&#8211;lollipops made of chocolate cake!<\/p>\n<p>We each left with a surprise <em>watch<\/em>! I had noted to Erin that there was one in the new collection that looked like a DVD, and, just by chance, that was the one I received! I love it. But they were all so fabulous that I definitely would not have known which one to choose, had we been given our choice. That might have been a fun idea, to let us each pick-out the one that called to us, but with how wonderful they all are, we might still be up in the Penthouse, agonizing over just which is our favorite. I know that<em> I<\/em> would!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stormusa.com\">www.stormusa.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STORM LONDON WATCH RECEPTION \u00a0 You guys know how I love quick easy events where you learn something, get fed, and leave with a gift.
