i finally got my folica backordered hot rollers! i got theconair jumbo/super jumbo [folica.com] ones. i tested them out earlier and must not have left them in long enough bc my hair was just a tad bit volumized after i took them out. or maybe i used too big of sections - i actually had rollers left over after doing all my hair!! i was so shocked kuz i have SO MUCH hair i figured the set wouldn't be enough for me.

anyway, excited to try this again some other time. Smilie i love that it's harder to burn yourself with them!

Quote from GoHeels :
What bras should I try, other than the Very Sexy Push-up? I want them to be as comfortable as possible, while also being sexy . . . .
eta: I definitely don't need to add volume with my bra. As long as they don't have show through, I'm good.
D, DD here.
BBV full-coverage lined bras [victoriassecret.com]- hands down, IME, the most comfortable wired bra from VS and the cup lines never show under my tops. Thicker comfy straps. Not terribly sexy.

Very Sexy line- always too much push-up but so dang cute like you said. By 3 hours into the day, mine are smooshed together and need to be separated. In the summer, I'll either avoid these bras or put deodorant between the girls. Just like Tizzy said, I wear these and the Goregeous push-ups almost entirely for DH's entertainment Stick Out Tongue

Dream Angels [victoriassecret.com] - the push-up is just too much, similar to the VS line for me. However, the non- push up DA demi covers plenty as Aya said and it's pretty comfortable as well- more so in the plain/non-lace patterns (lace can be a little rough). Most of the time the plain ones w/ lace edges are invisible under clothing.

Sexy Tee [victoriassecret.com]- This was a pleasant surprise. For a bra with such little structure- it really does a good job of providing support comfortably for a D-DD. It comes in cute colors and the lined full-coverage cup is just as invisible under tops as the DA demi. It is a thinner lining than the DA's. An added bonus is how cheap it is compared to the others! They also have eyelet trim ones now, cute!

The bad: Biofit- these are the only bras that had the wire poke me to the point where I had to take it off. Incredibles I could never get to fit right, but never tried downsizing. Cotton bras- wire was a little pokey, overall unimpressed.

Quote from ayoungpretender :
Thanks for the reviews! I got this bra on MJR a while ago and didn't recognize it, so I figured it was a discontinued style. I don't care for the animal print, but overall it's a really pretty bra. It has great support and shaping, which is of utmost importance for a 34DD. It's pretty comfy too.
Iagree

I got my metallic Pink Sephora [sephora.com]train case Whee
Pretty, thanks for the reminder on the price cut! I think the only time I would take the case anywhere would be to the wedding I'm in if we end up driving. Otherwise, I have that cute travel case Azn gave me Wink2 All we need is 1 e/s palette right?

Congrats on your almost-new boobies, Alvs! Are you nervous or just excited?

For everyone: I just joined Bloom.com because I see talk of coupons/discounts here a lot, but how do you find the $10 credits, etc.? Are they through Living Social deals and places like that? TIA!

I'm both. Kind nervously excited! I'm just ready to get the surgery and healing over with!

That's where we get the bloom certs. They pop up on those deal sites from time to time. Sometimes they have codes too. They don't stack.

Has anyone returned to nordies without a receipt. The item has the sticker thingy. Will they put it back on my cc?
Quote from red333 :
They will put it back on your cc with the sticker (or any other CC you choose). Or, they will give you a gift card, if you want or cash. They are the most flexible store ever as long as you have your receipt.
Sooo with that sticker will they know how much you paid or do you get back the lowest selling price?

Quote from PordaPoddy :
laugh out loud Yeah, I only gave it a 1" binder and bust out of that in a few months, I still need to upgrade it to a 4"!
I just use the 1" binders. I do not like the larger binders for daily use...and I do use my VS binders daily (almost).

saw these dresses on h2s. they're bogo. they make cute cover-ups for $9.
Those are cute. Too bad I missed the deal.

Quote from loveclothes :
Just curious--since there were so many styles & colors on the Daily Tees, what did you not like about them? I really thought there was something for everyone and that the quality was good, too.

I really feel like their current tees are just endless combinations of scoopnecks and v-necks with either short or long sleeves. Oh, well!
I found them short in length. I like scoopnecks and v-necks.

[U]Reviews

Gathered Corset top
[victoriassecret.com] $19.99 clearance. I feel like a few of us have tried this top. The purple is really pretty, the material is nice, but the folds on mine just weren't laying right. I also didn't like that the top is shorter in front. Return.
I purchased this in Black. I like it. It looks good with skirts.

It pulled up how much I paid and it went back to my nordstrom card. The cashier did verify my card number to make sure it was the right sticker. I'm glad she did because I've bought things with old stickers before. Old sticker probably wouldn't work since it has already been returned though.

They give you back the price (and tax) that you paid. Once, I bought 3 Philosophy shower gels for $33 on sale there. I returned one. They gave me back $11 + tax.

We've got to keep them entertained now. laugh out loud

I just received my first BBV lined full coverage. I really do like the comfort of the bra, it's my first one, but I received electric pink when I thought I ordered pink daisy. This is "electric" pink. We're talking 80's neon pink! I don't know how I could of ordered it since it's not even an option under the choices. Dontknow Going back to be exchanged.....

Wink Need more than one!!! But I guess if you're going to the wedding, should be okay, one look throughout the day. I usually bring 2-3 when I travel to Seattle to match different outfits

UNLESS! They want you to do all their makeup, then, uh, you might have a bit of a trouble fitting palettes into that small foldable bag shake head

i recommend the happy bra straps. gets the kurips-approved seal.

for $6 for 4 and with free shoprunner shipping, there's really nothing to lose.
i think it does its job. my straps fall a lot, i'm thinking my shoulders are not broad enough laugh out loud and i didn't have to deal with that yesterday and today. (could be lucky i pulled out bras that don't do that but i feel like all straps fall on me) it is a little cumbersome to put on, i have to fasten my bra on my chest, put the happy bra straps on then turn the bra 180 degrees and put the bra straps on my shoulders. also, the hardware adds a little bulk, but not more than the hardware your bra comes with.
