RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

Aww! That is such a sweet gesture.

Update: The flowers were delivered right before the deadline. He was still in the office. Apparently, people were surprised they were for him. Everyone was trying to read the card, and asking him who they were from. He was happy, surprised, and blushing. Technically, the flowers were for Father's Day, but he is leaving that day on vaca. I wanted him to have time to enjoy them, so I sent them a week early. Mission accomplished.

I was so excited to receive my VS SAS packages, but I only tried on the merc from one. #SoSad

I am try to fight the urge to visit Express. All this peer pressure...

: I haven't try the Tee dress but I remember PordaPoddy said she loves it. Here's her review:

I'm a bit curvy, and it skims them not hugs. If you're not curvy at all, it might not do much for you. Also, I cannot speak to the opaqueness of the lighter colors, I only own black and a dark print.

I don't really think they're flimsier, but the lace bands do stretch out quicker than fabric bands. They might snag easier but I wash all my Dream Angels in bra bags and most of them hold up pretty well. Still wearing some from 2-3 years ago. I say go ahead and keep the pretty ones!

I think the lace sided ones hold up fine. The all-over lace DA bras of mine begin to pill, but that is the only difference I see.

Love that one! That would be a perfect birthday or NYE dress for me here in Florida too. I will wait for a sale tho. Can't pay full price.

My aunt is coming to stay with us next week... How am I going to hide all the deliveries coming??? I'll have to keep her out all day and race ahead of her whenever we come home

Hi ladies. Anyone know how the Lacie cheeky runs? I'm getting it for my daughter but she usually wears the Lacie thong which is OS only.

I would say TTS - I ordered a S which is my usual size in any VS panty (thongs or hiphuggers). If I wanted to show a lot more cheek, I probably could get away with XS, but I don't think it would be comfortable to wear then.

I ordered the Signature Leopard Print Dress [express.com] .. must be the Jersey in me,

Also, dropped by H&M yesterday and got an AWESOME dress [hm.com]. It reminds me of VS's Little Tee Dress [victoriassecret.com].

CrazyCat- they are super fast today! 3 orders from early this morning have shipped already : woot :
Oh my :lol : Yeah- the prints are nice, but clothes are so thin these days, the stripes, flowers, dots, you name it peek out through the threads :rolleyes : I just picked up some of the super bright solid colors, but I bet these hues will manage to peek through too. It's a bummer when I pack for traveling, I know the boring solid bras are coming with. Anywho, hope the weather clears up for your niece and that she gets lots of pictures to remember what a great time she had with her aunt!

I've been lusting after this Metallic Ruched Dress [express.com]. Thinking about getting it to wear for my bday. :girly :

I can't get over all this rain! It's been a week now. Poor DD had to do Universal in the rain, at least it wasn't hot! I hope it clears up for you so you can show your niece the beautiful beaches here. :surf

how about the embellishments? :teehee :

does anyone think that bra bands that are made of lace are flimsier? i think so, and i'm having 2nd thoughts on keeping some of the pretty bras because of this. any opinions?

I ordered a few things from Express last night. Too lazy to go store hopping for my sizes. :cool :

That is a very close dupe for that dress and cheaper! I don't even know where an H&M is around here. But if it's not in my closest mall I don't venture there usually. I love a lot of things at H&M I wish they would have an online store! I would buy so many things from them. :nod :

I did have a boring, white bra, but I had already worn it. Obviously, I didn't plan well. My sister said I should wear it anyway, but I'm strange & don't wear anything twice.



I love that dress. I wish they offered it in gold. Silver doesn't look good with my skin tone.



I hope your DD had a good time at UO, even though it rained. We did have a good time, but we were wet & cold most of the time. All this rain is crazy. That never happens. Today is looking better. Hopefully, tomorrow will be nice, so we can take her to the beach. We'd wait until Monday, but they want my DH to go with them. He's only guaranteed to be off on Sunday. That's because he refuses to work on Sundays. If not they'd schedule work for him then too. My niece also wants to go to Cobb theater to see a movie & get a funnel cake. She's amazed that you can get one at a movie theater. We'll do that, if it rains.



I have some with embellishments too. They're so pretty that I choose looks over function. I didn't try those under that top though.



I'm glad it worked out.



I wish they had the lace cami fabric in a tank. I need to be able to wear a regular bra with my tops. Strapless bras are so uncomfortable it has to be a special occasion for me to wear one. I love the colors & fabric though.

That's a cute dress. I really love the price. You're making me want to take my niece to International Plaza, so I can browse the store. She really needs to see a mall with very few stores she can afford, right?



You have to be in the running for best mom ever.



It looks like our closest H&M is at International Plaza, which is surprising. I'm really surprised that mall has a store with prices like I'm seeing on that site. I do a lot more looking than buying at IP. It's been a while, since I've needed a $500 hat.
