This is probably a stupid question, but when you make a VS return at a store, do they charge the shipping fee?

Quote from azn1x6flame :
. . .
It looks like the date is going to be April 13. I am assuming this is because sister MOH is on spring vacation. Nothing as been booked though. My wedding coordinator friend almost fainted when I told her the timetable and she said that laid back brides are the worst. And my friend is so laid back....and doesn't know what she wants...or more of, can care less.

She doesn't even want a shower. MOH said she wants to do a shower for her. I think the invites are going to be hand made, not printed. She bought tons of paper of different types and she said she was gonna start cutting them. Then she said she hopes for a lot of sleepovers and I'm assuming this is to make everything. I think...she's an idealist and not really being realistic about this process.

I will definitely keep that process and timeline in mind. I think they're going buffet style if they decide to choose that one particular location. So that may help with the deadlines? I'm not sure.

Say, isn't your big day this month? I hope you're not going too crazy over it and it will go over very very smoothly Smilie hug
Someone has to get this girl to be more realistic... With people out of town and busy with their own lives, she'll be lucky to get ONE sleepover where everyone can help her. I thought I was going to get a lot more help with my crafty stuff, but quickly realized - no one cares about it but DH and I, AND I'm a perfectionist so I don't really want anyone else doing it. When planning your wedding, so many things sound good laugh out loud Maybe you could ask your coordinator friend to give the bride some feedback on the side. She could be the 3rd party person that brings her back down to earth without hurting a friendship. Smilie You will then, of course, owe her lunch Wink

Thanks for the reviews- sad about the zig zag dress.... Is the color block one available in-store? I don't think I've ever seen it.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
It's cause we have good color taste! ; ) I am hesitant on the Currant because it seems like it would be too pink. Let me know how it turns out! I already have a red from previous season. I read a review that it was like a darker pink, not red? :dontknow : It's a pretty color!
I haven't even taken time to read the reviews. I need to do that. Embarrassment It wouldn't have occurred to me that currant would be too pink. The red sweater definitely doesn't look pink on the site, but it's not uncommon for colors to be a little off.

Quote from nerdgirl :
trying to decide on my nail color and i can't. haha i am so indecisive! but i learned a new term today - a subtle french mani (with less of a stark white tip) is called an american mani... which is something i've been doing on myself since hs! hahah... i may go with that, bc they photograph well. but i love my nudes as well... so difficult!
If you can get rid of your fiance for a while, I'd experiment with different nail colors against your dress to see which one looks better.

Quote from red333 :
GH, do you need a 15/30 to rebuy your cardigan? I have plenty from my mail order packages...
You're too kind. hug

Quote from Stardust42 :
Oh, those are cute sweaters! : girly: Putting them on my wishlist. I like fitted tops too! : )
I'm glad to see a few of us like fitted tops. It seems most of the girls here prefer the loose styles. It's nice to have others to post reviews. Express has so few fitted tops that I always hope they'll look good. There isn't much to choose from.

i'm liking this bangle [express.com], but not sure it is for small wrists. diameter looks to be 2.5", same as that bangle gh said fits well... but we know descriptions can be inaccurate. this is a possible reward purchase for me, so i don't want to make a mistake.

Quote from GoHeels :
Thanks for the reviews. I'm glad you liked the DA strapless. Sorry it didn't fit. VS does seem to have sizing issues. I ordered a 34DD (my usual size) from MJR & it was huge. I checked & the tag did say 34DD. For this reason, I won't take a chance on ordering bras from MJR again.
I got out my DA demi in the same size and compared them. The strapless was over an inch longer than demi, which was about the same margin between the demi in 34 and 32 band size. I can't believe they can get away with such inconsistency. It's bad enough with S/M/L sizing, but bra sizing is supposed to be pretty precise.

Thanks guys. We had to put him to sleep tonight as there was nothing else they could do to help him. I hope no one ever has to go through that - it sucks having to make the decision knowing it's the right thing to do but not at all what you want to do.

I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to have to make that decision. I'm sure he had a good life and at least he didn't have to suffer too long.

Quote from IceyNiki :
Yes, a nail salon should know how to do an American manicure. Just ask "Instead of a French, do you do American manicures?" If the answer is not yes (they do not understand and you have to explain it), I would not get it done. But everywhere I have ever gone knows how to do it. Is someone recommending a salon to you? If not, I would not pick an empty salon. You definitely can bring your own polish. I find that salons either have a pleathora of polish choices or not so much. The salon I get my eyebrows threaded at only uses OPI, but there is only two glitter polishes and maybe 30-40 total polishes. My former salon had at least 100 polishes. Last time I had a pedicure thankfully I brought my own polish because the salon only had one glitter polish. You can have the technician test the polish on you before the mani/pedi. Just let him/her know so the base coat is not applied.
I'm going off of yelp reviews and convenience (looking at nail places in my city). the place I'm planning on going got 4 stars or 4.5 stars from about 30 reviews. Is that ok?
