I'm so disappointed with the tankinis. Frown I tried everything on for my DH again. Shh.... don't tell Kurpee. Secret The 34D's I tried on & returned were too revealing. I ordered 36D's & they're too big. Is a 34DD too much to ask for. Head Bang I really wanted the turquoise tie dye print, but neither size fits. Sadwalk
I feel your frustration. I wish I had some suggestions, but I mostly wear bikini, not tankini tops. I wonder if a style like this [victoriassecret.com] would work. Stuff that shape in bikinis works for me, but those all tie at the back so there's good support.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I got a pink heartbreaker in 34 d and it fit. I've been using trial and error for a few weeks. Since it's a pink bra do y'all think I'm a 32 d or dd now in a regular bra?
I'd try the 32D first. I can wear 32DD in most styles, but have never tried on a pink bra that even came close to fitting.

The sun kit is awesome this year. I got it on Thursday, and I am super impressed. I was going to order another anyways. I would make the total $50 for free shipping Wink!

Shhhhhhh.... must be some glitch but order now when it still stacks... not all codes stack, just this combo is working.

I had awesome shopping day Yesterday. Dance13

I went to VS To pick PANTY , I returned PINK limited edition bra I bought during SAS and it rang up half off its original price 37.50 Big Grin Nothing in store appealed me so I picked mint tin from the box at register and showed Panty coupon to SA. She didn't ask me to make any purchase and started ringing panty and scannign coupon so I silently put back mint tin in box there Teehee
Panty looks smaller to me than normal VS panties I am glad I got S than XS.

AE GC was burning hole in my pocket since a while so I went to Aerie and Picked up MIA bra [ae.com] . I was eying it ever since I got the flyer with this bra on it. but online it was not available in all sizes so i had to rush to store to check it. It is the so (infinity times )pretty, I am out of words. Fits really better than most VS bras. I guess its available in only limited sizes and I was able to find 2 of those in my size in storeBig Grin its Multiway colors are prettier in person than on site Girly and flower embroidery on top of it Whee I love it more than VS Startburst bra nod needless to say I bought matching panties too. I highly recommend it.

Then I went to NY&Co. In store most items were BOGO50 and some accessories were priced down to half off. I picked bunch of jeweleries and sunglasses and wristlets for gifting on my upcoming trip to India. My total was $111 before coupon paid $61 after coupon (there is a $50 off $100 offer right now) with GC. Bought 10+ items for $61.

Sephora processed my returns finally last night i got email confirmation and and thanks to Porda, I was able to place sun-kit order this morning with bunch of fragrance samples ,
I am a happy bunny Yahoo!

Thanks for the tip about the samples!
So I'm thinking about getting the naked or naked 2 from sephora, I'v been hearing about them for so long. I know you ladies have opinions, which is better? Especially if I already have the stila's In the Light palette.

Sounds like you had an awesome shopping day! I hope the VS panty isn't smaller than normal! I got my normal size.

Going to go return my icky Love Spells today, hopefully I get at least ~$20 back! Pray

I hope you get that about that much.

I don't know about you girls, but VS and BBW signature lotions tend to make my skin dry and I can't stand most of the scents. There is a free travel size signature BBW coupon out. I mostly gift VS & BBW products more than use them myself.

I have three items, so I hope so! If not, I guess I will have to gift it or something

And I completely agree. I don't use VS or BBW stuff or gift it for that matter. When there's free lotion at BBW I usually get that or the body wash when there's an option. Figured body wash is just soap, not as important as lotion. shake head

do we know if triple points will count on backordered stuff? everything i want to order is backordered. Sadwalk
No, because it won't charge your cc until it ships and then triple points will be over with.

I gift VS & BBW to people who I know likes and uses it. The free travel Q that is out now is good for any of the lotion, mist, body wash, triple moisture cream -- which is better than the lotion from what I heard.

I have a mini stash of lip glosses (vs, bbw & express) to gift, which I'm sure most of us do.

I can't tell what perfumes are in the 6scents sets. Any opinions on which one is better? I only wear 2 perfumes, but the samples are great for our guest bathroom. I'd prefer to get the one my guests would be most likely to use.

N/M, I already placed my order.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Mine orders a lot when we go out to eat. Drives me crazy :lol :. He doesn't really have time to grocery shop though.
We do that too. Embarrassment My DH & I almost always order 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, & 2 desserts to share. We like having a variety. Unfortunately, about 3/4 of it doesn't get eaten. We don't eat out often though. If we did, we probably wouldn't order so much.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I enjoy shopping at Bebe. I find that their career pants fit me much better than Express' or anywhere else for that matter. I : heart: their blazers too. Another thing I really like are their dresses, when they actually have styles I like. Everything's really well made and I think the price is fair. I only shop when I can meet the coupon minimum or get GCs or something.

I encourage you to take a look! : )
I'll definitely check it out. Do they release codes or do you usually have to pay full price?

Awwww sorry they didn't fit. Did you ever try the JCP one I suggested?
Men Rolleyes2 They just don't get it.

I haven't tried the tankini from JCP yet. I had over 30 SRCs, so I've been buying a lot of things at VS. There hasn't been any money left for JCP. Stick Out Tongue

I don't like to constantly reapply lotion b/c it's inconvenient. I find that I have to do that with the BBW/VS lotions.

I've been using an unscented Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream and it absorbs so wonderfully! Love it. For my body, I'm testing a Gold Bond lotion. It is lightly scented, but ideally, I'd like an unscented one. I also apply lotions right after a shower to help it absorb better.

Hope you get a good amount back!

I do the same thing (I always opt for the wash!). It's because I never know when I might spritz some perfume on and I don't want my scents to clash. No
