bpfeuffer says "Great fit that stands the test of time" about Victoria's Secret Basic Solid Color Underwear

bpfeuffer — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:16:02 GMT

I have been buying Victoria Secret basic brief underwear for almost 10 years now. Each year I wait until their semi-annual sale to stock up, but would not think about buying something this important elsewhere. They stay where they are supposed to and never create the ackward moment of where to go because something has gone where it should never go! Additionally, they offer great bargains, as we always receive a free coupon in the mail, which I ALWAYS turn in for my free pair. The staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful, as I am sure they would like you to buy something along with redeeming the free panty coupon. The colors have stayed true and don't fade with time. There are different types of sides (small one line or full 1-2 inch strand) that allow for comfort for everyone. I would not trade my Victoria Secret underwear for any other brand, even though it cost a bit more.

ApriBambino says "My Chadwicks Faux-Shearling Coat keeps me warm and stylish" about Chadwicks Faux-Shearling Coat

ApriBambino — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:11:48 GMT

Chadwicks Faux-Shearling Coat

This is one of the most comfortable coats I've ever worn, the 3/4 length is perfectly casual yet long enough to keep me warm without all the bottom bulk. The faux shearling is very soft and has a really nice hand to it. Coat is fully lined, it has a zip front with toggle button closure and deep on-seam pockets that lay flat, no pocket protrusion here.

The hood and cuffs are fully trimmed in fluffy "feel-real" faux fur providing an extra layer of cozy warmth while adding a fun fashion touch. The interesting seeming detail adds style and shape as well. I also love the rich Chocolate color and contrasting trim.

Coat fits true to size, the sleeves are a bit longer than I'd like but not so much that they're a problem. I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how warm this coat is being that it's so lightweight or rather light in weight.

I'm very please with my purchase of Chadwicks Faux-Shearling Coat, it looks great on and I know it's going to keep me comfortably...

CecilyIsabella says "It's excellent except the arms!" about New York and Company Black Blazer Jacket

CecilyIsabella — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:51:52 GMT

I have been shopping at New York and Company for almost two years now but here recently is when I have started shopping there more and more. I bought a blazer from New York and Company recently, and overall it is pretty good. It is black with silver buttons [two of them to be exact]. I normally wear x-small/small in tops at New York and Company but the Blazer is sized in numbers [2, 4, 6, 8, etc...] The only problem I really ran into was that I needed a four in the body but the arms are really extremely small compared to other stuff in the store. This lead me into getting a 6 yet, the arms a still a bit small on them too. I have to take the blazer off when I drive because it feels like I'm going to rip it up the arms. Also, with getting the size 6 it made the blazer fit looser and fell "drapey" on my body frame instead of a clean polished look. Overall I give it a four out of five because it is still a cute blazer even with a bit of a malfuntion.

CecilyIsabella says "The best of the best" about Victoria's Secret PINK panties

CecilyIsabella — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:40:04 GMT

I have shopped at Victoria's Secret for over five years now and have always found their products great. A product that I love in particular is the Victoria's Secret PINK brand pantys. Whether it's the boyshorts, thongs, lacey, or whatever they all are great quality and have a good fit for almost everything you wear. They stay in place and don't slip unless your doing something crazy like running up a hill upside down dancing the hula [if you get my drift, lol]. Size wise they run a bit big. I'm a small in every kind except the microfiber pantys which run a bit smaller where I have to wear a medium. I am a 5-9 in jeans, if that helps the sizing at all. You can check out all the different types of styles at victoriassecret.com , and click on the tab that reads 'PINK'. If you need to get some great pantys or even bras anytime I would definately reccomend Victoria's Secret PINK brand for all your needs.

needie says "Cute clothes, but bad quality." about Forever 21 This brand in General

needie — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:09:05 GMT

I have been shopping here forever (heheh)! This is one of my most favorite stores.

They a a wide range of clothes and have various styles that you can custom to your own taste. Their jewelery and accessories are very unique, and their clothes are GOREGEOUS!

All are fashionable clothes that are very affordable and quite accessible, I've seen many of their stores on my travels.

The only downside is that the clothes are of HORRIBLE quality. I bought a dress top for like 4 something and after wearing it twice and hand washing it (like the label says), being it's made from a fragile fabric, it literally fell into pieces. The threads were coming undone, and even some of the color faded. This was the only one time it happened. But I've bought a lot of other clothes and they were fine. So I guess since it's a 5 dollar shirt, I'll just let it go. I haven't been buying their clothes lately but I have been lemming over the hats, jewelery, etc. but that's about it.

If you're looking for quality, I'm...

dmlichnerowicz says "No granny panties for me!" about Frederick's of Hollywood Get Cheeky Tanga Panty

dmlichnerowicz — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:58:52 GMT

If there's one thing my mother taught me, it's that you absolutely cannot let your underwear get ratty looking just because you're an old married lady! Not shaving your legs for weeks on end, sleeping in an old T-shirt, not brushing your teeth before kissing...all those pale in comparison to worn out cotton underwear! So I try to keep cute yet comfortable panties in my drawer so I don't scare my husband away!

I purchased several pairs of Frederick's of Hollywood Get Cheeky Tanga Panties when they were on sale for 6 for $25. Available in more than 12 colors and patterns, these cotton/spandex panties are great! They don't show panty lines, there's a cute little peekaboo opening at the back, and they're very soft fabric. Even if you don't like thong-style underwear, these are really comfortable and don't feel like "dental floss." (I didn't add the picture of the underwear, since I wasn't sure it would be offensive to some, but you can see it on their website.)

vivasuzi says "It's cute, and definitely keeps me warmer at work!" about Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket

vivasuzi — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:51:39 GMT

I went to Sears looking for a cardigan with the intent to get a large warm cardigan for work. My building is usually freezing, but sometimes it is warm so I don't like to wear a sweater every day. Instead, I wanted a cardigan I could leave at work for times when it gets really cold. After looking at the cardigan's at sears, I was having no luck. Many of them were 3/4 sleeves and others were the holey material that didn't look too warm. Luckily I walked a little further and found the Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket in the Misses section.

The Covington Sport Microfleece Jacket is cute and that is the first thing I noticed. It seemed like something I would wear and I was drawn to it as soon as my husband pointed it out to me. I instantly handed him my coat and purse so I could try one on. I felt warmer the instant I put it on and knew that this is what I needed for those chilly days at work!

The Jacket is very soft and made of 100% polyester. This is so comfortable that I feel...

lavieboheme287 says "Aeropostale jeans provide comfort and a good fit." about Aeropostale Jeans

lavieboheme287 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:06:25 GMT

Being 5'10" and skinny as a bean pole, it's not always easy for me to find jeans. Then, I went to Aeropostale, and the world of Right Fitting Jeans just opened up to me!

Before I went to Aeropostale and bought some of their jeans, I never really knew my real size. I knew the size that I could live with and be okay with wearing, but not the size that really fit me. As soon as I went to Aeropostale, though, I realized that I could actually purchase a pair of pants that wouldn't have to be either flooding or too loose at the waist.

I am now the proud owner of jeans that fit me correctly; they hug me in all the right places, flattering my shape, and give me comfort. They're long enough and tight enough around the waist.

Go figure!

And guess what: they're at a reasonable price!! Much cheaper than what you'd pay at Macy's!

If you're looking for a nice, durable, cheap pair of blue-jeans that you want to fit you just right, head on over to Aeropostale.

ApriBambino says " Old Navy Cable-Knit V-Neck Hoodie is perfectly casual." about Old Navy Women's Cable-Knit V-Neck Hoodie

ApriBambino — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:25:57 GMT

Old Navy Women's Cable-Knit V-Neck Hoodie

I like the ease of throwing on a stylish sweater without a lot of fuss. This cute cable knit v-neck hoodie from Old Navy is a soft blend of 60% cotton, 20% wool and 20% acrylic to help keep it's shape.

This runs a bit longer than most sweaters, it falls below the hip and is perfect worn with straight-leg jeans or leggings. As the V neckline is deep, I'll layer this with a tank top underneath or my Cuddl-Duds when the weather gets cold enough. The hood is built in and is more stylish than functional but it adds a fun touch of fashion.

I was worried this wouldn't wash well because of the wool blend but it does, I don't machine dry it, I just lay it flat on top of the drier and air dry, it stays in shape with no problems.

My Take: Old Navy offers stylish and trendy fashions at reasonable prices. I found these in-store at a buy-one get-one half off back in early October. I bought a deep blue and a neutral taupy shade as my basic colors to go with...

mak says "looks great in the catalogue, but not on a real person" about christopher banks holiday sweaters

mak — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:14:02 GMT

Surfing the net for a pretty, but bright festive sweater to wear over the holidays, i came upon this website. The sweaters looked like they were just what i wanted. At the $39.99 price tag i had expectations of high quality yarn and a great look to get me through the holiday season. Not so! When they arrived the sweaters were over-sized and cheaply made. The patterns that looked small and subtle were loud and brash...and worse had beads and sequins highlighting them! The colors were garish--bright red and green instead of the muted hues i saw online. There should be some kind of disclaimer to say that the sweaters are woven so widely that you should buy them two-sizes smaller than usual and be prepared to wear a blouse or turtle neck underneath them. Needless to say, i was very disappointed. i had to return the sweaters and pay the extra shipping charge. i will not make that mistake again!

AdventureQueen says "The cozy Capri microterry scuff slipper keeps the tootsies warm!" about Capri Black Microterry Scuff Slipper

AdventureQueen — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:37:48 GMT

A few weeks ago we went to the movies at the cinema in the local mall. When we bought our tickets we discovered we were a couple of hours early, so we walked around the mall to pass the time and in the process I developed blisters on the balls of my feet from the boots I was wearing (I had not worn any heels for at least 6 months). So I purchased a pair of black Capri microterry scuff slippers. They only carried them in a regular width, not in a narrow width (which is what I need) so they were a bit big to begin with, and I had to purchase them in a large since I have long feet; though the medium were a better width. I wore them to the movie and they were extremely comfortable. They contain a very thick, plush insole and a great synthetic outsole making it easy to walk around outside in them on the way home. Since then the insole has squashed down some, however they are still very comfortable and I can go get the newspaper in the morning in them and the mail in the afternoon. Because of...

grinky22 says "Love the Feel, but You Have to be in Great Shape to Wear It!" about Under Armour Women's HeatGear Shortsleeve Shirt

grinky22 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:26:14 GMT

This Shirt is Fantastic and really makes your workout more comfortable. Even as you sweat you can't feel it, and the fabric takes all the heat away from the body. Very Comfortable.

All UnderArmour seems to run small in their sizes, though of course most of it is compression gear, so it is supposed to!

Whilst the shirt is amazingly comfortable to wear, you may not feel entirely confortable wearing it in public. It is VERY unforgiving to any little lumps and bumps you may have. It does not smooth over that muffin top- instead it clings to everything. Thats fine if you are superbly defined, if not you may feel a little self conscious (which, if youre in a gym and trying to lose a little weight, you could probably do without)

The shirt does not fade or deteriorate if washed properly, I have been doing it on a cold delicate cycle and air drying. Its very tough and up to serious work outs, definitely quality!

SilvrLoreena says "I love my Danskin sweat pants" about Danskin Striped Sweat Crop Pants

SilvrLoreena — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:44:49 GMT

I love these babies. They are so soft and comfortable. Anyone can wear them and they are awesome for when you need to get moving. I don't work out as much as I should. These crop pants are great for pajamas. They are that comfortable. I wear them with anything especially when I go for walks. I try to be very modest with my clothes so these hit just bleow my knee which is exactly where I want them to be and to stay put. No riding up the leg while I'm working out. So comfortable and light. Don't have a pair, you need to get out there and buy one!

sophricanpink says "Useful Forever 21 Camisole" about Forever 21 Black Camisole

sophricanpink — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:25:43 GMT

At first, I thought the cami would be too short, and too cheap - after all, it was only two dollars and fifty cents. I went over and touched it. To my surprise, it was very stretchy. It also came in different colors. Seeing as I had a giftcard, I quickly bought five. I am definately going back for more. This cami can work by itself, under a sweatshirt, under a button down shirt (henly), a sweater (preferably v-neck), etc. To describe the cami, it is just a plain colored cami with no lace or anything. It does not have any monograms on it :) . The cami can work with any bottoms - jeans, skirts, capris, sweatpants, etc. I guess you can even wear this too sleep. It is very comfortable. The cami also has a built in bra. It is not too supportive, so I suggest wearing a bra underneath it. As for the straps, they are adjustable - this is real helpful. One would find this same type of cami elsewhere for at least ten dollars. This is truly a wonderful buy.

blackbearpie says "Zoom Trainer Essential II Improved my Gym Experience" about Nike Zoom Trainer Essential II

blackbearpie — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:42:02 GMT

I just recently purchased the Nike Zoom Trainer Essential II sneakers last week.

I am a fitness freak. I have been going to the gym, and or engaging in some other physical activity four days a week for more than four years. I change my routine every day, and I am not always confined to the indoors. For this reason I chose the Zoom Trainers. They are a versatile sneaker that provide comfort for a variety of activities. They are not labeled solely as a running shoe, or a basketball shoe, etc.

I am very pleased with my purchase. The Zoom Trainer's are so light and comfortable that I forget that I am wearing any sneakers at all. My old sneakers added weight to my workout, and they sometimes cut off circulation in my feet when I did cardio for 20 minutes or more. I have been to the gym 7 times since my purchase and I have not experienced any tingling sensation with the Zoom's. I also feel that I have added endurance and speed because I am not lugging around the added weight on my feet.

I also...

jkelshaw says "No Boundaries impresses me again." about No Boundaries Juniors Pin Stripe (Casual) Dress Pant

jkelshaw — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:03:27 GMT

Once again with the junior size clothes. I love these pants though. If I remember correctly the original price was somewhere in the range of $16.-20.00 but I got them on clearance at Walmart for $3.00. I am such a "cheap skate".

The pants say that they are navy, but when you look at them they look black. They are super cute and trendy. I have worn them with maroon, white, and black shirts and all have looked great with them. They flow really well, so if you do have a little "problem area" that you need to hide, these pants work well for that too!! They also go great with a lot of different shoes.

There were only a few things about these pants that didnt work so well for me; they have a very cute "built on belt", but if you lose any weight and the pants get too big, you really cant wear another belt over that part without it looking silly. And the "belt" that is on there doesnt adjust, it ism ostly for looks. Then there is the length.....Once again, I swear the smaller...

jkelshaw says "Cute & fashionable, but maybe not worth the $22.00." about LEI Light Blue Juniors Jeans

jkelshaw — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:46:47 GMT

OK....I have lost a lot of weight, and have truly found that the junior clothes fit me better than the womens clothes most of the time. These are normally $22.00 a pair, but I did get them on clearance for $10.00!! I have worn them maybe a total of 15 times. They are not tight on me or anything, but already there is a hole growing just to the left of the right side "butt pocket".

The biggest paing with these jeans has been the fact that the belt loops are very small. Well, actually the first one on each side is smaller, and then the other 3 are bigger and can actually accomodate a regular belt. So I had to go buy a new belt that would fit into the loops.

I have also noticed the length of clothing. In womens pants, they will fit in the waist but be too big in the butt, or vice versa. In juniors clothing, the fit in the waist and the butt, however, unless you are over 6 feet tall, you will be constantly walking on your pants. Its seems the smaller the size, the longer the...

ottiscat says "Dr. Scholl's walking sandals are oh so comfy and stylish" about Dr. Scholl's, Adidas and Jenny Craig walking sandals

ottiscat — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:50:30 GMT

I hunted half the summer for a pair of sandals that were not only pretty, but durable and good for walking.I finally found that pair when I found these Dr.Scholl's walking sandals at Walmart.I expected them to be too pricey but was pleasently surprised to see they were only $20.They are so very comfortable with a nice cushion and with the velcro straps they are so easy to put on and take off.These aren't your mothers' Dr.Scholls,like the wooden soled sandals they usually sell.These have pretty straps in a durable blue cloth and I suspect they'll last quite a few years.I put them to the test on a long walk through Tombstone,AZ.We walked around for hours and my feet never felt tired or sore from too long wear.There is a gel pack in the insole for extra comfort and it really makes all the diffrence.These are definately sandals that will be in style for years to come and I suspect they will last that long!The only thing that I found unusual was that I had to buy a size larger than normal, but...

emilyintx says "VS Undies soft but fitting" about Victoria's Secret VS undies

emilyintx — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:20:13 GMT

This new line of underwear from Victoria's Secret replaces the cotton panties. The VS Undies have enough spandex that make them form fitting. The fit nicely on the cheeks and don't sag. The cotton in them makes them soft and comfortable to wear. I tried this panty a few months ago when I got a coupon for a free one. I selected a black pair. It has been washed and dried several times. It holds up very well. It has not stretched, faded, or pilled. The pairs of VS cotton panties that I had had faded and stretched out. So, in contrast, this pair is very nice. In fact, it is one of my favorite pairs of underwear. I selected the bikini style in size Small. It fits very true to size. I would highly recommend the Victoria's Secret VS Undies. They are well-made and a good purchase. Especially if purchased on sale, they are a great value. They come in a variety of colors and patterns.

asinatra says "Super cute, affordable, and qulity-made! " about Forever 21 Black Ruffled Button Down Shirt

asinatra — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:14:30 GMT

Most of Forever 21's clothing is made out of cheaper matertial. However, I happened to find an awesome black, ruffled button down shirt ofr less than $20. The shirt has lasted over a year with constant wear. It is very cute and goes well with jeans or dressy pants. The product is also very well made. This shirt is also a great work shirt because it look professional but is easy to move in.

The color of black has also held up nicely. The shirt has not gone through much fading. The shirt is also very modest, but trendy. It comes with a cute fabric belt that can be easily replaced with another belt, or just taken off if so desired. Most importantly, this shirt flatters those with small figures, as well as those with curvy figures.

It is just a great shirt all around. I wish I would have bought more of the shirts and I also wish that there were different colors available. This is a piece that will always be in style.
