RETIRED - The Official VS, Express, Beauty & more Thread

Quote from ALVSGIRLY : i also bought this one: http://www.express.com/hi-lo-hem-.../index.pro i wish they had it in other solid colors. it's just in that weird color and in person it's not that bright. http://www.express.com/knot-back-.../index.pro

I bought the black and white one too Alvsy. So cute!! I find I like it better with a real belt though instead of the cloth belt it came with.

I also bought this dress [express.com] instore today - and it is HOTT!!! The model does not do it justice....it definitely looks better with some curves in it to fill it out! However, when I got it home I realized there is a hole in it near the zipper. It was the last Large in the store so I already re-ordered it online tonight. lol I will return the defective one in store tomorrow! Highly recommend it though!

did that dress come in orange/beige before? i think i tried it on in S - it was large.

Quote from longislandgirl : I too love their red velvet cake. You can also customize cake by ordering online - not sure how much time it will take to prepare for them to prepare. linky [coldstonecakes.com] I am stacking on those bras just because it always works with such codes :cryl ol: I wish next time it would not work with pink yoga bras :wav e2: hi there Thanks for sorting out codes I had hard time keeping up with all the recent codes too

I was going to order online on Sunday or Monday, as they have to have 2 days notice Fortunately when I got there, they did have one of the midnight delight which is kind of a death by chocolate thing. They only had a large though. It is delicious!!

Quote from crazymonkey1980 : red velvet ice cream cake? OMG I will have to look one up! :heart; icecream and red velevet cake is my favorite. Together?! OMG! I just saw a comerical for blue bunny ice cream, i think, for red velvet ice cream. ebay has free listings all week long, in addition to the 50 you already get free. ds has a fever today, . Cancelled our beach playdate tomorrow so he can get feeling better soon. I think its from his one year shots he got last week. The dr. said he could have a reaction 7-21 days after. like clockwork, 7 days. Poor baby. I bet I will not sleep the next few days.

The red velvet one looks *so* yummy too! They aren't cheap (the large, which is a normal sized cake IMO - you could get 12 normal slices out of it - was $29.99!) but it was a nice treat. Hubby was thrilled, it was a nice little weeknight birthday with an infant.

So sorry your DS is sick DD has been on and off for a week and she gave me whatever funk she has a week ago and I still can't get over it. Sick kids are the worst. It's good to know about the shot reaction time though - I'll keep that in mind. Hope he feels better soon and you get some sleep! (As you can see, mine is keeping me up )

Quote from IceyNiki : Thank you for confirming that I was not losing my mind when I tried it on.

Hey girl! So sorry to hear about your accident, I know you liked your new car! I am glad to hear you are OK and didn't get severely hurt! Hopefully everything works itself out and hopefully things with (notsoNu)SO are going well. TY for the VS reviews.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY : Mine just stayed 2 days with grandma! But you live in the boonies! You need fs!

My DD's grandparents suck. Everyone is too busy. MIL has seen her one time in the hospital and once for an hour after that. FIL and Step MIL have seen her no more than 10 times, and 5 times was the first month. Not like they live that far away, either. My parents are over 1,000 miles away.

*speaking of DD, I am bouncing her with my foot on her bouncy chair and she just fell asleep. I looked over at her and she has a huge smile on her face in her sleep. SO cute!*

Quote from kurips : did you order this skirt [express.com]? i would recommend it to you, but i doubt the xs will fit you, it's a bit big on me. i bought a lot of bottoms in the last round

I don't have it. It looks really cute. I hate that it runs big .

that's a great idea about another belt. i have several. i'll see which one looks the best.

love that dress too !

It's hard being away from family. My mom is back and forth between here an Alabama. She travels lots. It's easier to get her during the week.

free50 and 30off150 are back!

Poor baby. I hope he's feeling better today.

Both of those dresses are on my wishlist, but I'm hoping for different colors.

That skirt is so pretty. I've avoided it, because I thought it was probably too short for me. Is it not? If it's conservative enough for you, it may be for me also. What top did you buy to wear with it?

Which color did you buy? DH wants me to order the black & white one. I think that was the one kurpee liked too.

My inlaws are equally bad grandparents. A few weeks ago my DS said he doesn't think his Nana even likes him. They have two other grandsons that they do everything for. They bought them cars. Naturally, our DS didn't get one. My parents are deceased, so our DS doesn't really have what most people consider grandparents.

Thanks

Good morning All

I sent some gift returns to VS which was processed and posted on my account on 30th May. How long does it take to arrive in mail? Is VS sending out those MC/GC late recently? I can't find it from the collected mails USPS dropped to me
Can I call VS about missing MC ? It was big amount otherwise I would not bother.

Quote from nerdgirl : did that dress come in orange/beige before? i think i tried it on in S - it was large.

i don't think it did. the black was the first of it i've noticed. i tried it on in the S and it worked. i didn't try in the xs. it could've worked too, but i was thinking it will be too fitted in the tummy area. hopefully i can try again in the store both sizes so i get the perfect one.

it is short i wear short skirts i just avoid buying things that i can't wear in many scenarios as much as possible. let's just say i couldn't resist this.

I think you'll have to call. No clue what they will do. Probably deactivate it and resend another gc since it has been so long. I hope nobody used it, and their system is sophisticated enough to fix it.

Yep. It seems to have reset and went back to 1 time, but you still have that one time .
