RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

Only 48 roses for 21 decorations and for the bouquets? I put more than 48 in just my bouquet when I did my wedding flowers. Are they very expensive or very big roses or something like that? I only paid about $1.50 a stem for huge garden roses using gammaflowers, so if it is money that is making them a little stingy on the flowers, they could consider getting some roses online, it'd only be about $100 of 100 stems. Also, if the wedding date is too close to order online, Costco sells roses for cheap too but with less selection than you'd find online. Unless of course, she is going for the minimalist look, which can be pretty cute if done right. :n od:

I bought this is black. It's so hot!

I've been obsessed with one shoulder dresses and tops for the past couple of months. Makes total sense since it's winter !

We've got all these little tendons that stabilize our knees, and don't get a lot of action on a regular basis. My friend overdid it on her knee and needed a cadaver patellar tendon . If I can't avoid putting the strain on them, I always stretch them afterwards - it's just a quad stretch (pull your calf to your bum), but change the angle of your foot gently and you can feel the little guys in your knee being stretched. I'm also affected greatly by cold weather/pressure changes - I was always told they were "growing pains" . If it's bad, I take an Ibuprofen to quell the inflammation that's likely to be causing the pain.


Lady, what are you talking about? There's a Nordies Rack across the street from the mall we met at last time!

Steve's my dude! Actually I just realized I only buy Madden Girl pumps b/c so many of them are 3.25" or less.

You should have your knees checked out, if you think you have problems. Mine have gotten to the point that the right knee needs replacement surgery now. My doctor says the left knee isn't far behind. I'm holding out as long as possible for both of them. I can only stand still for about 30 min., until my right knee begins to swell. That's on days, when the weather is nice. When the weather is bad, it swells sitting with my feet up. At times, I have to wear sweats with wide legs to be able to get them over my knee. Jeans & regular sweats are too tight. Stairs are really hard on them. I take the steps one at a time, then put the weight all on my left knee. When my knees are swollen, stairs are out. Even if they aren't already swollen, stairs often cause them to swell. Anyway, all this rambling is to say, you really need to take care of your knees. Trust me. The same goes for anni.

Thanks so much for the logo suggestions. The ribbon arrived about an hour ago, so I can start making the bows. I'm going to send my DH to Michael's this evening to look for those bead. This wedding has been a strange experience to say the least. My sister, the groom's mom, had to pay for the reception decorations & food. The bride's family now says they're making flower arrangements to put on the church pews. She says they're making cones out of paper & putting 3 roses in them. There's 21 pews. They ordered 48 roses & that's supposed to make the bride's & maid of honor's bouquets also. One of my other sisters rented an arch & bought flowers & tulle for it. That will go on the stage. The only decorations the bride's family plan to decorate with are those paper cones. We won't be shocked, if they decide they don't want to make those either. I'm making more bows to fill in for those, just in case. If they show up with the cones, great (I guess ). I had to make the other bows anyway, so it doesn't matter if they use the extras or not. We've learned it's better to have a backup plan. At the last wedding, my sisters & I were talking about how happy we were that we only had one more girl to plan a wedding for. Two of my sisters don't find this situation very funny. I think it's hilarious. I think they got upset with me, because the irony in the situation amuses me.

sexxay, do you belt it?

Don't feel guilty for buying yourself nice things. Everyone feels better, when they look good. I need to start buying myself more clothes & shoes too, so I know how you feel. We shouldn't feel that way though. I've decided it's okay to spend more on myself. I buy plenty of beauty items, but cheap out on clothes & shoes for some reason.

How hard was this? I'm limited for time, but it does look nice.

Omg, flashbacks to the I'm sexy and I know it song I heard earlier this morning !

I may. It looks cute without a belt. I bet a belt would look darling too. Limited has 40% off belts. Bought all the ones I love this morning! They have good prices with sales and coupons!

Yeah, I like the wrapped/ruched skirt. The one-shoulder red velvet burnout dress that VS used to carry was supposed to have a similar look to the skirt, but I could never get the bottom layer to hang low enough to be seen. On this one- does the skirt lay just how it does in the pic?

wow, i just visited express's jewelry section and i'm loving!!!

I saw the cutest necklace yesterday! Loved it!
