I really like jewelry by Steven Lagos. He has some pretty unique stuff. Sometimes, my runway TJ Maxx store has it. The lady at the jewelry counter really likes me (chocolate goes a long way) and will sometimes call me when something goes to second or third markdown Smilie I have found some absolutely incredible pieces there that are within my price range after the second or third markdown.

Right now, I'm wearing this [lagos.com] necklace. My parents mailed it to me after I passed my written qualifying exams. It seems as though their prices have gone up quite a bit. Too bad silver is so high.

I think that someday when I have a good job, I'll buy more jewelry. I really like his stuff, but I also like the hunt of TJ Maxx Smilie
heart the necklace!

A good substitute for emu oil is squalane which comes from olive oil.
Scratchhead Interesting. I like my argan oil, but have no idea where that comes from.

aww poor baby, I am too. The next drug in line is usually Sulfa drugs (sulfanomides), but tons of people are allergic to that too so keep your eyes peeled I'm allergic to both and haven't had trouble finding a suitable substitute. There are so many alternatives these days. Comfort

I just got the 2 1/2" Relaxed Denim Short in Medium http://www.express.com/2-12-relax.../index.pro from clearance. I ordered size 0 & 2, because the reviews said they run large. They definitely do. The 0 is a little big on me, but I really like them. Size 2, my usual size, was way too big. Unlike some reviews, I don't look like I'm packing boyfriend style. Wink They're no shorter than the 3 1/2" VS shorts. Keep the 0, Return the 2.
i have the 2 washes they have available for the relaxed denim shorts. the dark (which you have) is more big than the light wash. almost kept it in 00 laugh out loud also, i uncuffed the light so that the 2 shorts seem to be different styles. i got them for $12 (non-clearance + coupon, i forgot what the deal was exactly, it may have been $19.90 sale price). i wear mine a lot this summer since i don't own too many shorts.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
For the gals who have done ebay shipping, or even I guess get anything via USPS, I know that first class with delivery confirmation may not show up online for the first 24 hours or so. But I shipped something Monday and it's now Thursday and still NOTHING. It just says Electronic Info Received. Usually I don't watch it like a hawk cause I know it'll get there, but this particular person said they're moving on Friday. Tomorrow is Friday, so I'm freaking out. I went to the post office and asked and they said from CA to AZ it's 2 days and should already be there.

Has that happened to any of you where it would not show up at all? But how can Paypal/Ebay confirm receipt then?

I know sometimes we get orders and we receive them and the tracking says it's still only electronic info received. That just happened recently when I sent something to DBF - nothing on the tracking the day he received it, but I went back to check and it has everything that happened on the day of delivery.

So I'm freaking out - hopefully the person got it. And hopefully the person has mail forwarding to their new address - I'd assume most people would if they're moving, right? I tried contacting her earlier in the week about it, but no response. Scratchchin I guess it's out of my control and the only thing is just to ride it out and Pray everything gets there. Le sigh.
I am just fyi -

If you shipped with Express Mail®, you'll get point-by-point tracking details. If you used another service—Delivery Confirmation™, Certified Mail™, Registered Mail™ —you'll see when it went out for delivery.

thank you ladies! i haven't had good night sleep for several days now. i am able to nap during the day though.

also stressing out since my sisters' families are visiting. we're going to destin next week, and i really hope we can enjoy it (only 1 very short vacay this summer) without worrying about the baby's condition.

i ordered this dress on clearance last night - $24. i've tried it on before and didn't like it much as i felt like it's too much fabric. i know a lot of you like it though. so i'm giving it another try for $24, if it ships.

link [google.com]... the very 1st dress.

i was wondering if those were the shorts you were talking about keeping in 00.

dang, you got it? i wanted it but was oos... guess i got over to the express site too late! laugh out loud did you get xs? tbh when i tried it i liked it but didn't love it. it was very comfy but i felt it didn't accentuate anything on me bc the only fitted part is at the waist. but if i saw it come BIS i would have ordered it too!

it was the shorts.
we think alike LMAO it was the xs. i was faster than you last night. i hope no one was faster than me. i think i didn't even like it when i tried it on, but i might like this one better since it's the same color all over. it's the thrill of finding clearance stuff that just popped up and in the right size that makes us buy them.

I thought about trying the 00 too. How much do they stretch with wear? If mine stretch much, they'll be too big for sure. These shorts run bigger than anything I've bought at Express, but I do like them. You got a great deal on them. I'm happy with the price I paid. You paid less. woot Thanks for the tip on uncuffing them. I'll see which way I like them better. I don't have a lot of shorts either. That's the reason I've been looking for them on clearance. Our anniversary trip is going to be 13 nights/14 days, & I don't have that many shorts. Embarrassment Hopefully, I can find some more good deals at the end of the season.

Sorry you're having a rough time. Frown I wondered why you hadn't been around as much lately. Give the baby a big hug for me. I hope he gets better soon. Did they find an antibiotic that works for him?

That dress was too much for me too. I think it may have worked better, if I sized down. They didn't have the smaller size in stock or I would have tried.

the 0 is a little big but i decided to keep that and still have the relaxed fit. it falls some on me, but it has been that way. i don't think it stretched or shrunk.

Reviews

flirty skirt [victoriassecret.com], L, carbon - I should have gotten a M, but I'm not unhappy with the way it fits. It is longer than I was expecting. It comes almost to my knees, but this could be because it is sitting lower than it should. It's cute and comfortable and for the price it is a great little skirt.

crochet trim skirt [victoriassecret.com], L, wild watermellon - I could have gotten away with a M in this too, but I really like how the L fits. The solid fabric part comes to about mid-thigh and the trim adds another 2 inches. This is such a nice summer skirt, I'm thinking of getting another.

crochet lace tee [victoriassecret.com], S, black - I got this as a cover-up. It fits well and is less see-through than I thought it would be, except across the bust where it is more stretched out. If I wore a black bra and didn't care as much, I could probably get away with it as a normal shirt.

cross-front top [victoriassecret.com], M, emerald - I thought this shirt looked so neat, I had to try it. The fabric is very thin and doesn't keeps it's shape at all, plus it feels like it would snag easily. The M was way too big too and the straps seemed too long, which is almost never a problem for me. Definitely not worth the money with the poor fit and cheap fabric.

cowlback top [victoriassecret.com], S, pecan praline - This was almost a great top. The back looks just like it does in the picture. The front, however, did not work for me at all. It has seams at the bust that don't hit where they are supposed to. The seam that looks like it should be under the bust falls dead center on me. This would probably be great for somebody with normal-sized boobs.

this happens to me once in awhile - it just means they forgot to scan it at the processing center. i'm sure they miss some of the packages considering there's so many going through.

what i do is, i highlight the border of the delivery confirmation tracking bar code area with green highlighter. i've been doing this ever since i read about it somewhere (could it have been here?). i feel like it reminds them that there's a delivery confirmation bar code to scan (and it also looks like the DC they have in the post office).

hopefully it gets scanned in at the receiving post office so you see the activity soon! hang in there... i know how frustrating it can be... hug

I LOVE this dress! I hope it ships for you! I have it in three colors!

Also, I'm envious of your cosmetic organizing system. It looks FANTASTIC!
