I hope it fits. I'm going to try some dream angel demis when they hit the sas! Aren't those great for larger boobies?
Yes, they are great because they adjust to your shape. The new ones fit a little differently than the older version. I think they run a little smaller actually.

I wish I would have ordered in time to get the set in alvs avatar. That's so pretty. It's been sold out in my size forever though.

It sounds like the knockout bra won't work for me. Thanks girls for posting your experience with it.

The Angels demi is my favorite of all my recent bra purchases. The ivory cross dye is my favorite of those. I think it's the prettiest bra I've ever bought. I also wanted the yellow knockout cross dye, but it sold out in my size before I got around to ordering it. Frown

I'm not loving the towel somehow. I try to go on my first impression.

The pic is tiny Teehee but thanks Alvs. At least I know what it looks like. Wink

Is this it? How is it on ebay already?
My B&M gave it to someone today. I have gotten GWPs early before when I was going out of the country. I do not make it a habit though. It is probably that type of situation or someone affiliated with VS.

Quote from GoHeels :
I never have a large wardrobe like the rest of you, so I try to limit duplicate colors. If I find a piece of clothing I really like, I frequently buy it in several colors though. I hate trying on clothes. If I find something that looks good, it's easier to buy it in a lot of colors than to try on something else. laugh out loud

Are you saying I get the catalog, because I'm old? Stick Out Tongue I'm surprised the rest of you don't get Venus' catalog. Body Central sends me catalogs too. I thought I got them, because both companies were targeting VS customers.

I actually like the orange/white stripe tote better than the one we got after that. I like the pockets on the outside of this tote for carrying sunblock, lip balm , etc., instead of having to dig for it amongst the towels. The color doesn't bother me for a beach bag.
I do not think I have a large wardrobe. I can never find anything to wear! I buy the same thing in multiple colors also. I just do not want an obnoxious amount of tops in the same color unless it is a basic color.

My mother was not old when she was getting Venus, so I am definitely not calling you old. bounce

I cannot even keep track of the GWP Totes. The white angel wings tote was disappointing because I thought it was going to be smaller. I will probably use the Orange & White Stripe Tote next time I go on vaca. I wish I did sell on eBay. I could make some cash. I still have that obnoxiously pink GWP rollerbag. That is one of my earliest memories of Flames in the thread.

Quote from GoHeels :
Which color(s) is everybody buying in the knockout bra?
I just picked up my FREE Blue Lagoon Knockout Bra and my FREE Blue Lagoon matching V-string. The SA was not happy that my total was $0. She tried that okey-doke, "do you want to get your Free PINK bra" when I handed her the Q...even though I had already handed her the Knockout Bra. Read the back, *****! She was livid when I handed her the Q for the v-string. (Oh, I would not pay for the v-string. It is not that cute.)

I never had a large wardrobe until I started shopping VS!! Their clearance won me over when I was a college kid on a college budget! Now that my closet and drawers are literally spilling out, I think I've had enough for a while, but like you, when I find a style I like, I tend to buy multiple colors. This is my favorite of this season [victoriassecret.com]. I just need it in 4 more colors Faint Hoping it goes on sale during SAS!!
I have two of those. Not sure if I tried them on yet.

I'm actually returning the ivory cross dye one I got. It is really pretty, but it felt so much flimsier than other DA demis I have and the cups seem smaller. I have another special edition one that I have the same problem with, but it was cheap enough that I just kept it.

Quote from GoHeels :
Do you all anticipate a swim sale soon? I need to order black swim bottoms to go with a tankini from JCP I'm hoping will fit. Should I wait?


I wouldn't carry a bag of any kind on the beach. They're too easy to grab on the go. We were at the beach in N. Miami last year. Two ladies were together. This random guy that was there with his friends goes over to chat. He eventually talked them into getting into the water with him. One of them left her purse (not a beach bag either, a purse) laying on their blanket. Faint I kind of kept an eye on it, even though I didn't know the ladies. (We were sitting between the two groups, so the girl's stuff was really close to me.) I couldn't believe it didn't occur to them that this could be a scam. That guy could have been distracting them, so his buddies could steal their bags. shake head I doubt anyone would risk getting caught just to steal a towel though.

Cute top! Do you think it would look right with a bra underneath?
Yes, the top works well with a bra underneath. I always wear a bra underneath all bra tops like some one else mentioned.

I usually just carry a beach tote and put my wallet in my car. The only thing I worry about are my keys, but everything else is really like...why would they want to take it, so I guess you're right. But those girls are crazy! I wouldn't do that.

I hope there will be a swim code, but I highly doubt it! Especially since they released new suits. The items I want are on BO waiting for shipment!

Thanks hug I really hope so! I started to get a vision of me walking down the boardwalk with it. laugh out loud and with my towel. laugh out loud which I also got.

I decided to give some tops a go.I have something I'm going to on Mem Day weekend and I wanted to try them.

I think I get wishy washy about ordering stuff cuz VS has hassled me in the past. I dont wan tthem to think I am ordering stuff just to get the GWp. But I was ordering some to try and I dont know if they will fit right.
