Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

I went to Express yesterday & tried on a lot of stuff. I bought this skirt http://www.express.com/sequin-str...pro#jsLink in indigo & a top that I don't see online. It was on clearance too. Alvs' favorite dress is very flattering. I'm probably going to order it in white, blue, & green, when it goes on sale again. I'm going to order the metallic ruched dress also. http://www.express.com/metallic-r.../index.pro Express dresses fit me much better than VS dresses. I didn't see the metallic stretch lace dress in the store. It's no longer available online either. I should have ordered it earlier. The cheap skirts I was planning to order online didn't look good on me. I'm glad the FS expired, so I didn't order them.
yay express! High Five

SAS at my store was not really impressive. Found one pair of SE pants ($10 more than the online price) and a few pairs of underwear. Wasn't really thrilled Frown

Kind of a good thing. I didn't need anything else anyhow!!

I have this one [folica.com] and like it pretty well. I bought it about 2 months ago. If I wasn't a total klutz who can't blow dry my hair well for the life of me, it'd probably do super great. I have SUPER curly hair though and even just using my fingers it straightens well. It qualifies for the $40 trade in - so for $40 it is SUPER worth it.

I'm glad I didn't go then. I lost interest in it when I realized I'd be in Florida during pa time.

I love some bling! I haven't tried that one on. I've been building my closet with basics. I think I need to branch out. Girly

Which is Alvs favorite? We all shop so much it's hard to keep up. Teehee

Yay! I'm going for it when it drops in price. Wink Did you see it instore? If so was it very silvery like you were concerned about?

Quote from GoHeels :
Speaking of VS, they didn't have hardly anything on sale yesterday. There were a few bras for $34.99 & panties for $6.99. They were probably holding most things back for today. They did have a few full price items that I plan to stalk online hoping for a cheaper price.
Did you go to WC? They didn't have much the first weekend, can't imagine anything left now.

Quote from GoHeels :
Not having family close by makes it hard to do anything as a couple.
I hear ya! My Dad in PA can't understand why I don't want to come up north with the girls for the summer. Um because I have zero family or friends here to watch them so their vacation is a vacation for DH and I away from kids! I love them to death but it's nice to go walk the beach alone at night with DH or go away for a weekend without them.

Quote from GoHeels :
Your short cut is still more impressive than mine. I just send my DH to Panera Bread the night before. Embarrassment
Hahaha I like that even better! DH and I always spend Christmas Eve out alone for dinner and finish shopping. Then it's back home for gift wrapping till all hours of the night. The last thing I want to do is make rolls. But my family looks forward to them. Now I go to Walmart (Publix doesn't carry the frozen bread) grab the bread, thaw, fill and I am ready to go!

Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
Dh bday is friday and first fathers day. I bought him a state park pass and a new tent. (we might go camping? Since ds is 11 months we may camp in the backyard) a combo for fathers day and birthday. I hope next year he doesn't expect as much, we are suppose to be on a budget, as now I am a stay at home mommy (we moved, and I forgot how tough the job market is), but the bank is account is low this month ... lol. I am definately a better present picker outter than dh.

ds First bday is in a couple of weeks, since we dont know too many people and are away from family (which is an actually blessing for me, lol, but wish ds had the grandparents around), we are going to keep it low key, cake and the beach! Oh yeah, I have been "stocking" up on bday presents when the coupons at easter for tarjay and MQ were hot.

I love birthdays and love to spoil the bday person. dh not so much. Well on mother's day I did get breakfast in bed, flowers and cocolate covered strawberries and went to the beach.

I think we both (dh and I) like to do things or plan a trip for presents. I have been eyeing an all-inclusive in Mexico, and/or a weekend in Vegas (trying to convince the grandparents to come so we have a babysitter for ds).



your ds sounds like my dh! He wants an ipad.
So cute! Camping in the yard is awesome. It's DH's first fathers day too so I am trying to make it special. I am going to make those cinnamon rolls the girls keep posting in here and make steaks on the grill at night. Sounds good to me - an excuse to make steak!!

Planning a trip for a present is awesome. I am always the one who gives more gifts and stuff - but I am a super nurturer by natures. I don't care for a big fuss to be made over me. Whatever you guys decide to do - I hope it is great!
Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
Well, my DH is not a Dad yet (unless you count our puppy...lol!) But I get my Dad and F-I-L snacks and beer! Always seems to make them happy...and honestly, what else do they really need that they don't just buy themselves?
Beer and snacks is about perfect! I think we are going to take my FIL out to dinner. My family is in Michigan, so just with DH's dad here. Or maybe the old standby - a Home Depot GC laugh out loud
Quote from GoHeels :
Thanks for filling us in. I want some more TBS sunblock.



That's really cute.
hug wave Hope your trip with your niece was fun!

got a target beauty bag.

also, these lace camis [express.com] are long. i wouldn't want to keep them, but i bought 2 for next to nothing with reward Frown i don't mind these with a little ruching effect just so it's the right length, but these are long. i have one from some time ago and it's not this long.
