New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

i know. i'm annoyed that it will be final sale if i order it. when i looked at it in store there were odd scrapes/scratches on some that made me 2nd guess my decision to buy it. i thought if the scrapes bothered me then, it would bother me a lot more if i ever took it somewhere, since it'd be bound to get even more scraped up.

i wish it were expandable. i'm worried if i order it now and it comes in banged up that i'm stuck with it. it used to show that it was available in store tho, and i don't see that anymore. i wonder why.
The minute stuff goes on clearance in store they remove the "in store" look up from the website. Probably because their inventory system sucks.

As far as the 1/5 goes, I'm not positive about. It seems to be a new thing. Probably to discourage people from returning stuff after it's clearanced out. I don't "think" you would be stuck with the luggage. Worse case scenario is that they make you return it as a without receipt and it will go against your $70 per ID limit that they have. I will ask Niko in the Target thread and if she replies, I'll let you know.

express is still not changing the prices. i'm thinking i can resist express again. i was doing great before the $15 coupons.

i was going to buy ornaments Teehee i'm slightly off-topic.
i don't think i'll be buying from express after this run with the $15 off coupons. i do have $90 in rewards tho. i missed the 2 great stacking opportunities. Frown

i can still get a coat with a reward. i'm just not sure i love the coats, and i can't decide if i want the tweed peacoat (there was 1 in my store in XS) or the purple peacoat (fabric was better but i'd have to order online), if any. my $60 reward expires in 3 weeks, eek.

that 1/5 limitation has been on the collection since it was at 50% off. i have a feeling it has something to do with the collection specifically. i've never seen something like that on any other collection at target before.

thanks for the info on clearance/in-store mark! i didn't know that.

please let me know if you find out more about this odd return date!

see above for my ornaments. the 70% off jason wu is still pricey for me laugh out loud i did think about it and almost justified that it's almost the same price as the cheap ornaments + shipping. (but of course more ornaments = less shipping charge per ornament, i was just trying to reason myself out)
ic ic. i'm really liking the lace one from the jason wu set. it's gorgeous!

i got 2 of these: http://www.target.com/p/10-piece-...edium_1_10

and 2 of these: http://www.target.com/p/10-piece-...vertical_1

that was all they had left that would make a cohesive tree.

+ a few fillers which i don't remember. i'm paranoid they won't fill up our tree, it's a thin 7' one. i may just reuse some of the ones we have, or leave the side that goes in the corner empty :teehe e:

eta:
or i may end up filling only the top half anyway because of the toddler. he'll be a lot taller next year and more destructive.
Those are cute. I wish there was a full front view to see the shapes better. Those would work for my tree.

We have a huge tree. I've been collecting ornaments for years & still have to leave part of the back empty. Everyone will hate it, when my tree is finally full. Ornaments are an easy gift idea for me. No one will notice, if you leave the hidden side empty.

I keep saying I'm going to avoid Express for awhile, but then you all post a link & I start browsing again. Bonk I'm hoping to make it a couple months w/o ordering, but I still have stuff in my wishlist. None of it is stuff I must have though. How long I make it depends on the sales & codes.

thanks for asking for me! tho i'm not really sure what that means - pretty much i'm screwed if i have to return it (or it'll be a huge headache). Scratchchin i'm just a little worried bc i've ordered stuff from target before that was not packed very well. i have no idea how that luggage would be shipped. maybe i will check my store first before ordering.

it seems like a stupid limitation tho, considering it's the holidays and ppl probably gave some of this stuff for xmas.

If anyone happens to be at BBW & finds any $2 Home Fragrance Oils in SAS, I'd be very grateful, if you'd pick some up for me. I bought all they had left yesterday, but I go through a lot of them. I could send the money via Paypal & pay for shipping & any other incidentals.

ETA: I don't like the fireside fragrance, but the others should be okay.

If that luggage scuffs that easily, the airport luggage handlers would probably destroy it. It's really cute though. You may want to consider getting it for land trips only. I'd try it, if I didn't already have so much luggage that I don't use.

My bad, sorry. Embarrassment Home fragrance oils. I edited my post for clarification. Thanks for pointing out I needed to be more clear. Smilie

it's a carry-on so i would probably never check it. i was trying to decide if it was worth it tho, bc while cute it seemed a tad small. i was considering it for $90, but now at $54 i can stomach the cost more. it IS really cute. i'll probably try to get it in store, but today's a long work day for me. Frown i'm worried it'll go OOS online and then i won't be able to find it in store.

It's hard for me to handle carry-ons (placing them in the overhead bin is a nightmare on my back & I'm embarrassed to always have to ask for help), so I always think in terms of checked luggage only. It would be great for carrying on. You should go ahead & order it, since you have gift cards. If it sells out, you'll regret it.

I haven't smelled all the BBW winter scents. I don't like fireside, but the others should be okay. Sweet flowery scents are usually the only ones I don't like & the winter scents are never flowery.

ETA: I forgot to add that it is the little bottles. They're usually $5.00. I use them in electric oil warmers.

ETA 2.0 Embarrassment: While I don't like fireside, I did buy marshmallow fireside. I like it.

*edit*
opened it and it's the yellow burnout button back tee. at least i'm not crazy in that i thought i had ordered it - i just forgot where i sent it. laugh out loud

ugh great. i just checked my next account and all my points disappeared. instead, there's a return from somewhere in NY. Annoyed

this is not reflecting well on express. i don't have the time to sort this out!

i think this happened to others as well. has anyone gotten any answers as to why next is so screwy? i anticipate a phone call to them but i thought i'd ask here first. work will be busy for the next week or so, so i won't get to call them.
