nod the timing is perfect to go to the southern hemisphere for a beach vacay - it's not summer there yet (summers get really rainy and hot and humid - dbf will likely HATE that) but since it's a tropical island it'll be warm with warm waters. if i go to fiji i'll probably stop over in sydney or something - never been!


laugh out loud if they do that i will have to place yet ANOTHER order.

i ordered robe (needed to use the other bday code they sent me anyway) and emailed asking if i could get the tote added to my order yesterday. hopefully i can - i actually like that tote! anything that's not pink i end up liking... Crazy
Keep us posted on where you decide. I haven't been anywhere super exotic (yet). I'm living vicariously through you. laugh out loud

I have a full cart of bikinis I want now...but I refuse to purchase until I see a better deal.

I got my bebe order. I love this dress, BUT only the bottom half is lined EEK!. I should have read the description. It's so cute. I almost want to find something to wear under the top part instead of returning it.
So cute!!! Girly You could get one of those bandeau tops (the ones that are bra-like) - that way you're kinda covered and not just wearing a strapless bra underneath.

I was thinking an orange bandeau too. I hope I can find one that matches the color. I'm kind of annoyed it's not lined up top though.

You should also check out luxurylink, that's where I booked my honeymoon and I got a really good deal. Although, make sure that you have someone refer you so that you get the $100 off coupon to use, to offset their $50 fee for booking through them. Also make sure that you price compare, I got a good deal but I have read that some of their packages aren't cheaper than priceline or other sites like that.

thanks! will look.

I bought an eyeshadow pan with 100 colors when it was like $2 at Target. I'm not a fan either. In fact my DD is getting shadow to play with. Wink

DH and I paid cash for wedding/honeymoon I got over being cheap quick! laugh out loud But I see where you are coming from. Maybe pinch a few more pennies and save up so you can go where you really want to go.

That's why he won't let me buy them. But he buys the same Levis all the time for work so I don't get it. shake head
i got one of those as a gift and never opened it. just not sure what i'd do with all those colors...

we'll be paying cash for everything too (we don't do anything on credit except rack up points laugh out loud), but that's not the point. i just have a really really hard time paying full price for anything, but all the really nice resorts i want to stay at don't have deals. the ones with deals would be fine, but i feel like they're more for any vacay, not for our honeymoon.

yes, i am overthinking it. wedding planning has been difficult bc i tend to overthink everything. Crazy i am leaning towards splurging just this once. but it is going to hurt!

do you HAVE to wear something under? i feel like the extra ruffle layer covers your bewb area and keeps you from showing anything you don't want to show - maybe that's why they didn't line it up top. i feel like a bra could be ok... Dontknow didn't you get those bandeaus from nords? something simple like that might work too, if you have nude.

Do y'all think nude would be ok? I have a nude bandeau. I'll try it on. I thought it may look better with orange since that's what the bottom is lined in.

i like the beauty books [target.com] that are $5 - those are sometimes on sale for $3 at target (actually i've only seen this once) but i think they're a great gift for $5. the shadows are pretty good actually. it's a bit bulky, but you get a good number of shadows and they're decent quality.

i would skip the nail polishes - i have a bunch and while it's a great way to expand your shade collection at low cost, they're not very good polishes - thin and take a lot of layers to get opaque coverage.

in general the studio products are good, the regular are not as much. highlights are - the blushes (pretty good color - not as fine as high end ones but still good enough imo), the gel liner [target.com] (this stuff is REALLY good - the ONLY problem i have is the packaging bc the product dries out within a year, but it's great while it lasts! i have 3 of them that i use regularly), the blush/bronzer duo [target.com] (dupe of orgasm/laguna - not as good but still!). these are all things that i own - i haven't used my studio blushes for a long time now, but i do use the gel liner.

it depends on whether you'll be buying a lot - the elf site shipping cost is like $9 or something, so if you're ordering a lot it's worth it to use a 50% code and then pay for shipping. how much time do you have to deal shop? this is fun, shopping for others. Big Grin
shipping on elf is 5.95 and target beauty shadow book is really pretty but it shouts out $5 Nono1 for a gift item Evillaugh
I will not be buying much though may be somewhere around $40 if i buy from elf site. there is a bobo50% code i found. Is there any 50% off code too?
Thanks again for detailed reply hug

I tried a couple of the shadows and they didn't go on nicely. I didn't like them so I haven't touched it since. nod

I see where you are coming from. I say splurge if you have the means to do it. Then you won't look back and regret it. Can't wait to see where you decide! bounce

It almost looks like that is what is under the dress they are wearing in the pic. Or is it white, it's hard for me to tell on my screen. LMAO
