New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

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

I just hung mine up outside today too. I think it probably needs one more day to air out. It's almost 90 degrees here and mine still has that smell.
can i borrow your back yard? laugh out loud Stick Out Tongue

i'd say porda's would be much more effective with the sea breeze, but the smoking neighbor would negate that.

nod they really are! they should stick them in a bag and put the label on the bag, or something.

i got my getaway bag. i like it - it's currently being aired out (what's with that horrid chemical smell?!). wish it had interior pockets but for a free bag it's really nice! if it were any bigger i think the straps would break very easily.
Mine smells some to, but I will air it out to. Though it is not a chemical smell, mine seems just to be a material smell.

I went for my post op check up for my shoulder, everything looks good, but the one main hole still has to hill up and of course after him moving my arm around and then getting it cleaned up and taped again I am sore Frown. He said I am doing really good for just one week out. PT starts in about 10 days for 4 weeks.

You girls sure are chatty today! Giant posts coming up!!

good deal on the Butter London! Hey everyone. I sold bright teal eyeliner to an elderly woman yesterday after trying it on her, how cool is that? Teehee
So nice to see you around and glad you are loving working at Lancome! So cool the blue eyeliner on the elderly woman!

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Here's the lace 2 in 1 [express.com]. I received it earlier this week. It's not as bad as the one with the red top. Still makes my curves look dramatic. I think the red is made bigger or someone stretched it out since I found it in-store.



what do yall think?
You look AMAZING in that dress. Keep it! Much better than the red one. This hourglass shape balances you out a lot nod
Quote from longislandgirl :
If I forgot to mention anyone its just because lately I can't keep up with this thread. What deal on Express I am missing now? Confused3
Wave

You are correct on VS' number. Hope you get the shipping sorted out!

Quoting randomly here! I went wore your Nine West Unifyy out last night. Great shoe! Comfy. Awkward walking on such a low heel. But I tried to get used to it. Unfortunately, the black padding thing on the heel left streaks on my ankles and down my foot EEK!
Also did the skinny jean look much like your outfit, with a sweater top. Still getting used to wearing skinny jeans. Modeled it for my friends last night and I still feel like Christina Aguilera in them. They said it looks good Dontknow I still feel super self conscious! EEK!

Quote from PordaPoddy :
The stripe ponte sheath dress [express.com] definitely has the non-scandalous length! Had to try it after I saw Alvs review. On first inspection, it does not appear to be see-thru at all : ) Very versatile - dress up/dress down, sexy but still conservative in length and neck cut. Accentuates curves and black sides slim. Attachment 1817278
Dress looks amazing on you. I really wish I could wear it. I loved the way it looked on me too. Just..couldn't deal with the headache! Are you getting it?

Quote from nerdicus :
do they feel funny when you wear them? i just ordered a pair of nine west ones from their site. they were $80 and i tried them at macys last week and they were soft and comfy leather, except the front hit my knee. i will have to try them out for a longer period of time to see how my knees feel. they were the only high boots i could find in brown in my size! (actually i'm not sure if 7.5 will fit - i forgot if i tried 7 or 7.5 at macys)
I have a pair of Nine West thigh high boots. I heart them. Super comfy. Wear with mini skirts. The going over the knee does not bother me at all. I want another pair that fits better. This one is a tad too big. Now I'm second guessing myself because I forgot what you originally asked...do you mean ones that hit just at the knee?

points history page doesn't show a-list? mine says:
POINTS HISTORYWelcome, nerdicus!
Points Balance: 11795 (as of 3/01/13)
EXPRESS NEXT ID: ***********
Tier : A-List

did you try a different browser? maybe ff needs to be updated, if you're trying ff. that's the only browser that's working for me (but i haven't tried IE).
I didn't have any FS problems that you girls are having. Except now that I checked my account, it doesn't have any of that info you posted and it USED to. I see my points automatically updated from my previous purchase yesterday too woot not having to call!
Quote from nerdicus :
i got a striped ponte knit blazer from clearance a few days ago. i put it on and immediately got azn's headache. laugh out loud it's weird how some things don't do it for me, but that blazer was awful! it went straight to the return pile.
Roll Sucks, huh?

C'mon over! I hope one more day with the hot weather will get the smell out. I don't know how I missed it the first time? But yeah, the sea breeze will do it! nod

Express Try-Ons (have photos for all of these, will upload later and re-link) -Mixed-Media Drape Neck Dress [express.com] - Very cute (even tho I'm resistant to a drape neck). Skirt feels a little short, but not undoable. I am resistant to buying this style of dress b/c I feel like I should probably just buy that black flow skirt in clearance and pair it with a cowl neck top to achieve the same look
.Attachment 1817162


Printed High-Neck Blouson Camis [express.com] - Love this and so happy XS fits. I want to pick one up for our next Hawaii trip. The length is just perfect, comes up under the arms so a strapless shouldn't show... instead of "Keep" , I should put GET since I"m waiting on rewards + sale.
Attachment 1817170
I like these two on you the best. The first one looks stunning.

The second one, I was considering that too, but was unsure. After seeing it on you, I love it! It's also now on my wishlist!

i think it's this one:


i think the black/white is just too stark and it does give me a headache. (sorry azn - looking at the photo prob gives you a headache as well, if it's affecting me)

in that same order i got the green jean leggings, that headache stripe jacket, and this tulip hem dress:


this one works a little better than the blue/black one for some reason. i think it might work tho there's still a bit of excess fabric around the midsection. i have a XS on order in black so i can see how bad the XS is on me.

Wow, what a night I've had. Faint I got the bright idea to make chocolate cupcakes w/raspberry filling & cream cheese icing instead of buying something from the bakery for tomorrow. It was all going fine, until I started the icing. As I was adding the 3rd cup of powdered sugar, my hair got caught in the beaters. By the time I reacted, quite a bit was wound around them. EEK! DH had to help me get it out, which as you can imagine was a lot of fun. shake head So, I had to take another shower, then dump that icing out & make another batch. I think that will be my last baking adventure for quite awhile. These cupcakes had better be the best I've ever eaten. laugh out loud

I'm kind of concerned about placing an Express order since the rest of my account info like the "Tier - A-list" has not shown back up yet EEK!

Edit: OMG! Now I'm having the shipping problem! I think this is because it doesn't show my account as A-list Mad

Edit2: I called about the FS and not seeing my tier problem and they said they are not aware of this problem but will "pass it on" Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) They can adjust the $8 S&H once you place the order though and refund it. I might go this route nod

Edit 3: I called Express and they adjusted shipping. I'll see what it ends up looking like on my card when the charge goes through.
