It's been a while since I've bought a suit, but the last one I bought is from PINK and it was white background with colorful leopard print and I paired it with some solid colored bikini bottom. It is really cute : ) But I always wore it with some PINK coverup shorts that are this waterproof material. I don't have a huge tummy, but I'm so self-conscious : O


That is a legit excuse. I need to borrow a baby :coverlaf :
I've lost quite a bit of weight everywhere, but my stomach. It doesn't seem to get any smaller, & I can't work out to tighten the muscles. It's very frustrating. Due to this, I need tankinis. Your swimsuit sounds cute. I wish I didn't have to worry about my stomach.

I wear a tankini too, GH. I much prefer the extra bit of coverage...and VS makes such cute ones that I don't even mind! Whoever invented tankinis is a genius in my book.

I totally agree about tankinis. I hate one piece suits, but want something that covers my midsection. I was so glad they were making tankinis, by the time I stopped wearing bikinis. I would hate to have to wear a one piece all the time.

Which VS swimsuits do you like? I need all new swimsuits this year, so I'm hoping to find some deals.

GH, Most of mine are from the "miracle bra' collection. I have both the wireless push up halter and the regular push up tankini top....and I like those both a lot, but I feel a tad less secure in the halter one, probably due to the tie-back straps. I also love the fact that they come in long lengths because I have a crazy long torso. I really want to try the 'forever sexy' push up halter tankini. Looks super cute! http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper

I love tankinis too, usually they're very flattering. The one I own which I like the most is from Marshalls.

Where do you buy your bathing suits? I only wear tankinis with high rise bottoms. I'm afraid to order from VS, because their suits seem to be made for the tummy-less. Stick Out Tongue Do they have any you would recommend? They need to cover my stomach for me to be comfortable.

Another tankini lover here! I have a couple of the Bisou Bisou Tankini [jcpenney.com] with the side tie skirts, so I can make it as revealing as I want.

Went to VS tonight to return that neon pink BBV bra and tried on the Dream Angels, DH might have a new favorite! Wink

I checked out the Miraculous, it's like 2 shoulder pads glued together and shoved in a cup! That was some serious padding! OMG

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.....
. . .
The brightest pink that burns your retina laugh out loud I just got that color in the ruched scoopneck top in clearance. It's a shocker alright.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
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
I'm so afraid palettes will break. I bring my UD Ammo or Naked b/c those are the only small UD's I have, the rest are BOS. If I don't bring Naked, then I bring my Elizabeth Arden mini palette that has 3 neutrals and a highlighter. For the wedding, I'll probably bring all the mini palettes, Nakeds and my UD creme shadows. I am not contaminating my BOS' for girls I don't know. Tongue SPeaking of... just got the tab for the dress today $174.xx for a short dress... and I am told that because they are all different lengths (all short, mind you), we are paying to get them all hemmed as well. There are 2 layers of chiffon...yike$.

Thanks for the in depth review. I'm thinking the Very Sexy bra I ordered will be for weekend getaways only. I can't wait to try the Dream Angels demi. It's supposedly shipped, but there's no tracking info. I was going to buy one of the Sexy Tee bras in purple samba w/ eyelet trim, but I couldn't get the codes to work on it. It's definitely on my list for the next time there's a FS with bras code.

ETA: They don't have purple in my size anymore. Sadwalk I guess berry or yellow it is.
. . .
Frown Bummer. I usually buy them in the clearance section, so I don't have experience with how often codes work on them. What is up with that? I'm looking for a size for my quasi-SIL and that size just goes OOS constantly... How annoying that must be! Also, I might have missed it , but how did the wedding go? Were you able to save the day?

I believe I owe you a Happybday ! I pack 1 suit per day Big Grin Also, I just bought the cheeky hipkini, but am a little intimidated by it... We'll see if my cheeks ever see the light of day.
Quote from annicus :
yes, all we need is 1... if that 1 is a Z-palette that contains all your e/s colors in it!!! laugh out loud i have the hardest time picking what to bring with me on trips. it's so difficult to find a happy medium between being super prepared and packing light.

TeeheeI agree!

Faint That wedding mess is just crazy.
I bring smaller palettes too, I usually wrap them in clothing or something to avoid breakage. nod

Any of you girls experienced a problem with Estee Lauder GWP from Macy's? They recently have a promotion that's still ongoing. At checkout, I selected Timezone, but I received some makeup set instead. This is for my mom and she doesn't use makeup.

I spent 30 minutes on the phone with a CSR today that said all GWP UPCs are the same, so I got something I shouldn't have got. After all this back and forth, they told me to go instore to change it because my local Macy's has the most Time Zone in stock.

I go today, and viola! They tell me they don't have it!! WTF Mad

Now I want to return the item and have nothing to do with Macy's. Have you girls returned the item and kept the GWP? That's my plan after all the crap they put me through.

If not, can I try to return it without receipt? I paid with GC and I don't mind store credit. Would I get store credit?
