If anyone needs anything from Prescriptives, they have a Free Full-Size Moonbeam Reflective Lip Gloss in Comet + Free Full-Size Deluxe Lip Pencil in Umber + 2 Super Line Preventor Xtreme-15ml Samples with any order. The cheapest thing I saw in stock was eye shadow for $14. http://www.prescriptives.com/prod...index.tmpl Code is SUMMERLIP.

i feel like it is real-time updating, but i'm not a veteran like kurpee or alvsy.

oh, i also wanted to share that i went to do returns yesterday (it was a bigger pain yesterday - the girl had to get all the returns "verified" by a manager, who didn't really do much other than try to get me to buy some of their clearance items :rolleyes : ) and tried on the metallic ruched dress [express.com] in 2. it fit me pretty much like the metallic lace dress, so i'd say whatever size you tried in one should fit you in the other. if anything, the metallic lace may be even stretchier than the metallic, since i fit into the 0 in the lace. i didn't bother trying to fit the 0 in the metallic. anyway HTH!

also, kurpee - i tried on the lurex sweater [express.com] in xs and i liked it! the currant color is so pretty with the subtle sparkle. that's all i tried on.
Thanks for the dress info. That helps a lot. I may try the metallic & metallic lace to see which I like better or if I want to keep both.

I'll keep stalking the site for sizes to come back in stock. laugh out loud kurpee started a bad thing. Nono1

Wave hello ladies : ) I just wanted to let you all know that I got a VS package in the mail yesterday and it had a $10 off cert in it valid from july 6th to....can't remember the expiration date :blush : so check your packages!

I got this [victoriassecret.com]maxi skirt. Way too long! It fits underneath my breast and still grazes the floor--and I'm 8 mons preggo! :omg : The material is really nice though....wish I could've kept it to wear around the house :annoyed : I love maxis when I'm pregnant....nice and airy : D
Congrats on the new baby. You're almost there. woot I can't believe the short length on that skirt is 36 1/2 inches. No wonder it doesn't appear to be selling well.

Quote from kurips :
i bought a dress + filler lip gloss, but the lip gloss shipped separately for some reason. i got bonus points only for the lip gloss :mad :
Did you contact them about it? I'm wondering if that's going to be the way they ship all orders. That would make me mad too.

I just emailed them. I just realized though that I am probably going to return the gloss anyway since I ordered it primarily to get to $30, and not for double points.

Quote from GoHeels :
ayoungpretender, have you ever altered swim bottoms? I'm wondering if it ruins the fabric & causes runs & holes.
I've never tried it. Fabrics with that kind of texture are VERY hard to work with, especially when you're working with something like that where a small mistake is likely to be pretty obvious. I wouldn't be so concerned about runs and snags so much as pins and finished edges slipping out of place. If I were that set on a particular pair of bottoms, like to match a top that fits (we know how hard that is!), then I'd probably take it to a tailor.

i think citadel is run down and yucky. it's like an old mall in a ghetto-ish area. ontario mills might be better, tho that's not a fave of mine either. is the one in orange - the block? that's a nice area but i didn't realize it's considered an outlet. i think camarillo is supposed to be nice but it's far for me! i like cabazon out by morongo. the one by sd is nice too. i tend to like outdoor ones better.

i was just informed that i can't wear black at my bachelorette and that i should find more white club-wear. help! it's so difficult to find a flattering and sexy white dress for those of us who have problem areas.

i saw this [express.com] in store yesterday and it looked super cute! i didn't try it on tho. love the pattern!

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
I did order both to try. I don't think they will change their return policy - they get enough people who order at full price and keep everything to where they won't change it. You have to have a good policy for people to order lingerie online. Heck - they just keep raising prices instead of changing the return policy.

Did you ladies see the new prices for Supermodel Essentials? If you wear a lot of black clothing (like I do) the pants are now $62 (were $49.50) and the hoodies are $78 (were $59.50) $140 for a lounge / casual outfit?? Come on.

The colors other than black and blue (my two faves Frown ) are $10 cheaper.
Did you check instpre? I got some of the pants for my daughter for $21.99--hoping they will go additional 50% off. I got black and gray.

yuckyfactor sucks, but if the store selection is good she'll like it. SD, fellatio...autocorect HAHAHA, camarillo! , and morongo are too far for today's timescale. Ill look more at the orange thing, see if they're real outlets. Thanks foe the quick feedback!

it's not sd but like, by the airport. almost to sd? i guess that's too far for you. camarillo is in the valley so that might actually be an hour from you, if you dare go up the 405...

i'd go to orange tho. it's a nice shopping center. seriously, citadel=no bueno, good stores or not! at least that's what i remember from the 1 time i went... anyone else want to chime in here?

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

it's alright. i don't have the right body type for it to truly flatter. and i think it's not slinky enough for clubbing! esp since it's vegas. but maybe i will get it again, just in case, next time it's on sale.

If you like Sky clothing they may have something in white. Their short dresses are super short on me. The material is nice quality and thick. It would be a good brand to look for.

the price on this dress [express.com] is tempting. looks similar to alvs's blue dress [express.com] but this is cheaper.

however, i don't think there will be an occasion to wear it for me. i don't even have an occasion for the striped ruched yet!
