Stopped by VS today, in addition to the Fabulous, there are 2 new styles -- The Charmer and the Lacie Strapless Push-up. Didn't try them out though as I was looking for the Unforgettable. Was told they're taken off the floor, think they might be discontinuing it. Frown

Quote from SheenaMarie412 :

And just wanted to let you girls know...I matched! Psychiatry residency at my first choice: DMC/WSU program in Detroit Smilie I would have been happy anywhere - Chicago, NY, or Cali, but I don't know, all my really close friends and family are here, and I've been at WSU for 8 years now, so I kinda didn't really want to leave lol.

And now...back to packing up my apartment, we're moving out on Sunday, and I swear, how the HECK did I accumulate so much crap in two years?!?!

(actually, I know how...thanks to you girls and this thread! :shake : :lmao : )
Congrats, Sheena! woot You're such a sweetie on here, I'm such you'll make a great and caring psychiatrist. hug
Quote from SheenaMarie412 :
Thanks! Smilie

btw, I just had a Beauty.com order cancelled because of "backordered items." I went on the site and both the shampoo and conditioner I ordered showed as still in stock. So was the Deborah Lippman nail polish GWP. So I called in about it...and get this, they cancelled my entire order because one of those 3 free foil samples you can get with your order went OOS. I actually came out better reordering the entire thing because they gave me a $5 credit with the cancellation email, and the rep on the phone gave me another $5 credit for the inconvenience. He was soo confused as to why it happened lol. I could understand if it was a GWP with a high value, but if you're gonna cancel because of the little foil sample being OOS...I'd rather you just email and give me the option of cancelling or choosing another one. Actually, I'd rather that they do that, even if it was the GWP that was cancelled. Oh, Beauty.com....
Yay for the $10 credit! Smilie I've heard from the girls here that beauty/drugstore.com has sucky customer service. Glad to hear you got some compensation!

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I just got both the umbrella and new swim tote gwp. Love them both. The tote is one of the cutest I've seen in awhile. I'm a sucker for black and pink things!
Aw..I wasn't going to order more swimwear but you now make me want the tote.
And feel better soon, alvsy! Comfort

Anyone know if this comes with panties? http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper This is on my list for next week, & I need to know whether or not I need to order panties to go with it.
I've seen it in store, doesn't come with panty.

I was so obsessed when I first joined but it has tapered off. I do pin things I love on the net so I don't loose them. I find it so much better than bookmarking. nod

Congrats on the program match! So happy for you!! Have fun on your trips too!!

I just started following you on Pinterest! I love it too. I don't use it too often, but I'm using it more for planning or recipe collecting!

Hi Sheena - I just started following you. Hope you don't mind. I am on there about once a week. I think it's funner when you have more people to follow you get to see more things and get more ideas.

Although I don't think I've done any of the things that I have pinned yet. I should work on that. Actually try one once a week and then get rid of the ones that didn't work.

I'm in FL! will be here until sunday! my src's are with me in the form of a spreadsheet. typed them out last night. : D
I hope their weather is better than ours. It's dreary here today. Warm, but gloomy. It just started storming. Hopefully, that won't last long. Have fun!

I'm glad you mentioned that. I think I'll type mine up today & email it to myself. That way I can just copy & paste.

Quote from SheenaMarie412 :
Thanks, girls! :hug : I'm super-excited lol! I have another 2.5 months off, so I'm going to do some traveling - I'm spending 3 weeks in NY with my sis in April, and then 2 weeks in India visiting family in May. Also have a friend's wedding at the end of May too, so should be lots of fun! :whe e:
That sounds like an awesome couple of months. Enjoy your time off. I'd love to visit India some day. Take lots of pics to share with us. Smilie

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Can't wait for the review since we seem to like the same things. :hug :
I definitely will. It was shipped on the 27th, but there's no tracking info. Hopefully, it will come Monday.

Quote from Tizzylicious :
I should of just bought it and not showed it to him until after it was on (if I was rockin' it of course.) If it's short and tight in the right places, he can get over the print. ; )
Print, what print? Teehee

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Any other store I am with you. Bra tops are nothing more than a shelf bra which is just extra lining to me. But I thought with VS or at least I hope, they give support and some padding for a little lift. They don't? : dontknow:
They just don't feel like a substitute for a bra to me. They may work well for others. It may all be in my head. I know, I'm Crazy Most of them do give me cleavage. I usually think it's too much. I don't really want to be showing cleavage, when I'm only wearing the top to look a bit more modest in my pjs. We often travel with family, & I'd rather not show cleavage in front of my brother-in-laws. laugh out loud

Quote from Tizzylicious :
I was eyeing that blue zebra too. I was going to start small, my black tankini with the zebra bottoms and move up from there. : coverlaf:
Baby steps are the way to go. Big Grin I like wearing prints with solids too. I hope I like the blue zebra print. It should be here Tuesday.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Dh is leaving Monday so my mom is going to help out. She will drive me bonkers.
Maybe, you should go with him. Stick Out Tongue

That's too funny. LMAO I can't wait to show my DH, when he gets home.

I've never heard of Pinterest. What is it?

I hate it when they discontinue bras like that. They've discontinued my favorite bras twice in the past few years. Annoyed Hopefully, they'll bring the Unforgettable back for SAS & you can stock up. Comfort

Thanks. That's what I figured, since it didn't specify that panties were included. I just wanted to be sure. Is it cute in person?

On VS' Facebook, there are girls bragging about having two and then I think of you with your the more than 70! laugh out loud

GH - Pinterest is like a visual bookmarker. For me, instead of going through food site to find a recipe, I go to my pins on Pinterest and refer to my recipe section or browse for food. We eat with our eyes, right? And I'm also using it as a planner for future wedding, house, etc :

I guess that is a good policy to have. There is a time and place for being boob-a-licious and family time is not it. laugh out loud

An online pin board. If you find something you like you "pin" it so you can see things all in one place. You create "boards" to organize them. People pin everything from recipes to shoes. It's very addictive. You'll need an invite .... it's very exclusive. Kidding, for some reason if you choose to ask to be invited by Pinterest it can take a week or more, if someone invites you it is instant.

If you want an invite let me know.

It's amazing how VS decided I couldn't have any more SRC and yet they'll continue to give them to everyone else.

Looks like I won't be shopping with them anymore.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I'm doing alright. There is a lot of pressure in them. They hurt only when I try to move besides the pain caused by the pressure. They are so huge right now. I hope they go down. I've heard they do. I haven't put on a bra. When did you start wearing one?

I fainted when they put in my iv yesterday. Good thing I was in the bed already.
Oh no!! They messed up my IV several times :/ had to keep stabbing me. I just closed my eyes and pretended I was at the beach or something.

I wore a "sleeper bra" from the beginning for like 3 weeks they sent me home with several that closed in the front. I would probably freak out if they weren't contained...

They will be swollen for months, so they will go down slightly, but not too much.

After a while I just wore cotton wireless bras that were soft and comfortable.
