gh - in some shoes, 5.5 isn't even available. i chance on the 6 sometimes in flats. i haven't kept a 6 lately. i did when i was preggo. but they are big now. some 6's came today, and i walk out of them. probably a good thing, so i don't have to keep them laugh out loud

i received the deep red print (velvety) blustery. i like it too, but it is relatively pricey. is it bad to own 3 pairs of blustery?

I really like thin scarves doubling as a headband or head piece. Kinda of like the retro style [modcloth.com]. Looks cute with a polka dot one!

Love this look. My grandmother did it and I think it suits people of all ages [unique-vintage.com]

Thin scarves tied to a tote/bag is cute too!

Scarves converted to wraps and shawls. I love that look!

Cute scarf look [stylerev.com]

And done this before [etsystatic.com]

Hope that gives you some ideas for style!
thanks!

Finally got my new Forever card and $10 Reward. Called to get cards for my authorized buyers. Was told these have to be requested, not automatically sent. Curious if they will come with Rewards.
Let me know if they do Evillaugh!

What an amazing idea! I definitely have VS stuff I don't need. I bet she would love that...maybe I can get a smaller wallet so I don't feel so uncomfortable and some VS stuff. PERFECT!

I don't like taffy either...yuck Frown
you're right - coach is extremely expensive overseas. the outlet online had some sales recently... 1/2 off all bags. i can't believe how cheap some bags are at the outlet. it would be really nice for you to get her a wallet.

and also, the vs stuff is a great idea. i just let my friend go through my gwp stash to bring back overseas to his cousins/coworkers. it's hard to get out there and people pay a premium.

but like GH said it largely depends on her likes. if she's into makeup i'd bring some american brands bc they're very marked up overseas. i think nars is like 2x as much in asia - crazy.

does anyone know if you can complain to ebay about overcharged shipping fees? i bought something for $10 and paid $6.50 for shipping - i assumed it'd be shipped in a box for protection. i just got it and it was shipped first class mail - 9 oz, which means they paid like 2.50 for shipping. can i complain?

i've bought similar products before and every other time it came in a priority mail box. which is why i was ok with paying 6.50 for shipping.

Or scarves... Which I don't know how to style.
I love scarves as well as ties! Ties are like clothing pieces to me; they should fit proportionally to your body size. A tall and lean person would wear a long and skinny tie well; a short and stalky person would wear a thick tie well. Since I am petite and thin, I prefer a short thin tie.

Maybe because I am a feminist (equal rights), I think it is completely ok for women to wear ties and dress like men if they desire, and vice versa. woot

I agree with what kurips wrote, if they advertised Priority Mail and didn't provide it, you have a case, otherwise, you can leave less than 5 stars when you give them feedback, in reference to shipping charges... Many sellers charge high shipping charges in hopes to entice customers with a 'lower' price... others start the auction low and have high shipping so that if it doesn't go too high, they won't be losing money... Ebay now charges Final Value Fee on shipping price too, so they won't be making 100% profit on that at least..

9oz shipped first class mail cost $2.73 plus the time (handling) and the cost of the package to ship it in... so a reasonable fee would be $3 - $4
and of course, that's if they use paypal shipping, if they don't use that, add on $0.70-$0.80 for tracking..

Congrats to mini-k!!

Hmmm I think just standard shipping. Should I have specified that they ship in a box?! I am considering neutral feedback. I think they need to not be so shady - if they wanted to make more money they should have just listed the item price higher.
