Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!


Please PM everyone who was a part of the VS Social Thread to inform them of our new home.

Me either. I didn't think about that! Normally when I have my umbrella it doesn't rain. It only rains when I forget the darn thing Teehee!

So true. I felt someone looking at me while I was putting my shoes back on. She made a face and twisted her bag so that I could see it. I just laughed. If I was crazy, I would have said "mine is cuter". Nah, if I was crazy, I would have said "it is not Louis".
I had a gucci bag with me on the last flight. The flight attendant made me put it on the floor under the seat in front of me. I was soooo pissed Mad.

I wish VS was not calling me ALL the time. I always see merch that I want to purchase. I have not used the VS umbrellas I already own. I hope I do not order the new one. #addicted
How can you resist? Teehee The umbrellas are always so cute. I don't use them either. I have an umbrella holder at the front door that I fill with them. VS umbrellas just happen to match the colors in my dining room & library. I like having them for looks & for guests to grab on their way out the door. When I use an umbrella, I use a compact.

I do want more at VS now than usual. Since I've lost weight, I need new lingerie, bras, panties, etc. I don't wear lingerie often enough to buy a lot of it though. That helps me not spend so much. There's also a few clothing pieces I want now, but not a lot.

You can tell when someone is not used to having stuff, they like to show it off.

that's an awesome amount of wear Anni! My orly "sticky sandwich" experiment didn't go well the 2nd time around with the orly polish (funny.) Right now I'm trying it with Essie and I'm on my 3rd day with no wear at all, and I've been cleaning a lot and was digging trenches for landscaping in our lawn...still perfect, which is impressive since my nails are pretty long right now!

Do you girls wrap your tips when you paint your nails? Does it make a difference? I never used to but started trying to after the Hard Candy polish had shrinking issues. It makes my nails look like the ones on blogs Teehee



I know, they are so F'ing stingy nowadays. And MJR doesn't seem as good either the last few months so I haven't bought much from VS altogether. I miss the days of getting bras close to free and clothing dirt cheap Sadwalk
I don't know how to wrap my tips. Blush2

That sounds like a really fun evening. With enough champagne, anything can be fun. Teehee Let us know, how it goes.

I think trial runs are definitely worth the money.





Thanks for the np feedback girls. It sounds like Orly needs to get a clue & make their np & base/top coat compatible. I've always used the nail wrap technique with base coat, but never with the np & top coat. I'll try that next time.

anni, you've convinced me to buy Seche Vite next. I thought I remembered purchasing it at some point, but I must not have. Dontknow



Boo on VS! Everybody is catching on to our SDing ways. It's getting harder to get great deals anywhere. VS isn't as enticing, w/o deals though.

I'm glad your DS is sleeping well. That really helps. Enjoy your SB.



woot I'm definitely ordering on the 29th then. There's a few things I want that I may wait on.



Me too, but I don't want rain. Coverlaugh
I hope it's fun and worth my friend's 200 sephora points!

and yeah - I'm pretty stingy normally anyway so having a wedding is going to be me and DF's big "splurge". this just all rolls into it. I think I am getting airbrush makeup too! Woot (and not the temptu kind, which supposedly is not "pro" according to the MUA).

Thanks for the heads up about the John Frieda deal at Ulta, Kurips! Both of my shampoo and conditioner had stickers. I grabbed two "stylers" since they'd also ring BOGO 50% and one had a $1 off coupon on it. My cashier used all three coupons plus the $3.50 off $10 so I ended up with a shampoo, conditioner, lightening spray and heat protector for under $8 including tax. Anyone else see Candice is modeling for John Frieda?

I just bought an express tote. It's going with me next week when we go to Denver. I may take a nice bag in my luggage but then I'll worry about it getting lost.

I am so much like you

Me too

Again me too ! I have just a few of it and I am tempted to buy more cute stuffs every now and then laugh out loud the collection slowly built up but I might have less than 10 still ( I am not counting matching bra-panties set in this- that I own a lot more than 10 Teehee

no! don't bring it with you in checked luggage. i've heard of soooo many things getting stolen!! i would only bring it if i had a carry-on.

maybe you can stick your nice bag inside a crappier one? like carry the gucci inside the express tote? then you can just strip the tote and use the nice one but it's still protected during the trip. i usually carry a backpack (with my laptop in it) and i stick my purse inside the backpack. not that it's a nice purse, it's just i hate putting my purse (any purse) on the floor.

Since they can search luggage freely now, they take whatever, my sister had new socks stolen, silly but yes true.

I usually use my totes for travel in the car, I don't want them to get dirty. My daughter uses them for Color Guard, Dance, Sleepovers, car traveling.

I was thinking the other day that rather keeping those totes to use my 2 valuable drawers on chest I should at least use them to organize my stuffs better but I am sure knowing me it will take a while before i apply that rule laugh out loud
But I took out the secret moment tote - which IMO is the cutest one among all - and started using it. No I used it when I go to mall or other similar places. The big plus of tote is if I buy some small stuffs I can put it in my tote and my hands still stays free. I usually ask the cashier to not give me bag and I feel better by thinking that I am contributing to environment in some ways Smilie
