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!

Can I call Express to get a pa or do I have to go back to the store? I was just there yesterday and don't really feel like going back to the mall. Thanks!
you'll have to go back to the mall if you bought it there. if you ordered online you can call it in.

Quote from smilinghelen :
I went to VS today at the mall. A HECK OF A LOT of SAS merchandise. I have a big store, but it's not as well frequented as the farther away mall... However, that being written, the bras were better priced online, the beauty stuff alot of it was better priced instore, some well priced babydolls at $29.99 and up, and a lot of 50% off items, saw the kabuki brush, atomizer mini, brush sets, a whole wall near the register area of all 50% off beauty items in small organized bins. Was tempted to just get a bunch of stuff and then use a $10 off $50. (also, when I was waiting in line at the registers, I didn't see anyone using those coupons, they were just buying armfulls of things... I know if it was me, I'd buy as close to $50, then come back and do it again with q's) I saw several bras that were $35-$40+ but are $29.99 or less online! I kept hearing people going, "OMG, that was so amazing, I spent $250" or "I just spent $380!" and finally, I heard a VS sales associate say her employee number and get a gift card at a discounted price.. it wasn't really as crowded as previous SAS's, I was able to wait in line for under 5 minutes and get my pair of PINK yoga shorts, an incredible hiphugger and the anniversary clutch for $5 total after I used my June PBOS q, the anniversary q, and my $10 Angel RC.
Whee glad your store had some stuff!!!

Also, if anyone has a VS June $10 or $10+ q, I'm interested in one. I have for trade, a shutterfly photobook q OR 2 of the $10 off $10+ VS July 8th-31st codes. Turns out I'm not going to get myself a 3rd bra this SAS, I'm looking to use it for an order for my brothers wife. Brother from South America is coming to visit my family, end of this month, and will be here in time for the baby's baptism woot

I've always experienced this. Limited is stupid, express is awesome, and VS is inconsistent.

I don't know what their problem is. I'm done after this. I got 3 return confirmations for 1 order. All with a return fee. Now they act like they don't want to give it back and it took them 20 minutes to comprehend the problem. They must hire idiots or teach them to act like idiots. Who knows but they suck royally!

I've never had a good experience with limited CS, which is why I don't shop there anymore. Ugh. I once had to do math with them because there was a v$ issue. That was a disaster.

I can only imagine trying to get them to understand math laugh out loud. It's a wonder they didn't drive you to the point of pulling out your hair Teehee.

I'm going to make a few returns in-store and use my $15 reward and be done. It's not worth it. They screw up too much and they don't want to fix it and they have bad attitudes. I don't know of another store with such an attitude problem.

this is what happened to me!!! good luck with it... i tried twice and gave up. i've been returning in store since and dealing w the bitchy store. i did go on a 8-9 month hiatus when i didn't order from them. but i don't order that much anyway.

oddly enough, the only time i got anyone with a semblance of a good customer service attitude and willingness to help, it was on a saturday. i forgot what the issue was, but she tried real hard - no one else did.

did they make you return your v$, or even mention it?

They didn't mention it. They charged me multiple fees on the same order. I am not a fan of them right now.

As far as the VS anniversary gift... it really really could use some modifications to make it a useful little travel purse.

Here's what me and my sister will be doing with ours, I'm going to have it modified, very easily done.. as shown in my crude drawing.. Will use the nice clip on strap from the VS weekender totes that I've gotten in the past to make it a nice purse.

laugh out loud probably wouldn't be able to sell on ebay or they'd flag me for counterfeit products Roll

I'm still using my PINK pillows I had made from their cheap little baggies that weren't useful to me.. I used ones that were made out a material like this one below:

I heart the Mariposa Palette! I think it's one of their better ones! I also love the tin and the butterfly on it! Big Grin

I'm a sucker for packaging. Luckily the sticker price on UD's BOS is in the $45+ range or I'd have all of those monsters too. Wink

only the first isn't charged. i got charged when i tested this theory out.
This sounds like info for the wiki! Thanks
Quote from red333 :
Does anyone know if I should get an XS or S in this tank? How does it run?

http://www.express.com/clothing/fitted+scoop+neck+tank/pro/6281943C/cat8013
I'm going to counter Nerdi. I have it in white and thought it ran quite small... XS was dooable but I wanted to size up to S but it's been OOS. I haven't gotten the other colors in yet, so the sizing may be different on those.
Quote from nerdicus :

i like it! the white is pretty opaque which is rare. i especially like the colorblock and am considering wearing it under the black lace tee to sort of get the look from that one photo. i also like that it hides your bra straps - it's good for wearing under stuff. thick though, since it's a 2-layer tank.
nod Such a shame for all of their other white/ivory tops... Is the ivory portofino not slightly opaque?

i hate the kids in the summer. they're so annoying. i get up and go as early as possible while most of the little punks are sleeping.
I hate them outside the mall too laugh out loud . DH and I are hurting to buy a house now... new neighbors just moved in downstairs with their 2 in the 5-10 age range and they let them scream and bounce basketballs on the tile below. I thought my window was open this morning when I heard them. Unfortunately it was NOT Facepalm Go to the park, I can see the park from my living room!!!!

Nice deal! Did you get anything from Urban Decay?

Good lord, what douches. I guess it's for the best that most things I buy are final sale. I don't even have the option to fight laugh out loud

I just got an invite for sephora flash, free 2 day shipping on any order. It's $25 per year and I was able to use 2 Wrapp codes when I subscribed. Not bad for $15. I think this will be nice with the December certs, if they have those again this year. If I can stack 2, that's $30, which makes me eligible for most of the freebies.

Something to consider for those of you who get invited.
