"even as a bride? 'cause that's white shoe city"

I'm going to be a non-traditional bride. Actually I'd like to elope. Maybe a themed wedding in Vegas?

Regardless, no white shoes.

12/21/2009 9:26:34 PM

Ok if that is clearly the point then you've succeeded with the white shoes...

I went to Alter Ego on Dec 5th and Julia did my hair - she did a super great job and is very meticulous... Cut, Conditioning Treatment and dye. Holla!

^^^ i feel the same way! when i get married, i will probably end up doing a fun colored sandal but more than likely a metallic stilleto sandal (i only wear 4 inches). i dont know why but i HATE traditional bridal shoes. they remind me of prom shoes from the early 90s.

linda, one of my friends asked me if i would do a britney themed wedding and have each of my bridesmaids dress as a different era of britney (slave britney, school girl britney, oops britney, etc) and then have my groomsmen be different boyfriends/husbands she's had. i lols.

My friend got married in royal blue shoes that said "I do" on the bottom


I'm probably going to steal her idea.

12/21/2009 11:10:33 PM

^^please do it. PLEASE.

12/21/2009 11:11:20 PM

my friend did the shoe thing, i thought it was a really cute idea!

(and the shoes are on an atlas bc she is american and hes european)

only if you're one of the britneys. you can pick which one you want to be!

you gotta have fat britney strung out with a shaved head and an umbrella!

12/22/2009 12:05:26 AM

that one would be kabbalah(sp) britney.

I ended up getting my hair cut at generations while I was there for other stuff.

It's gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay downhill, and I can no longer recommend it in good conscience to anyone, and I won't be going back.

It's not bad, per se, but it's no longer at all worth the pricing. I think there must have been a change in management or ownership. Maintenance has fallen off, and so has keeping things up, deep cleaning/cleaning as they go is subpar (it's not dirty, but it's not sparkling clean). They've quit reinvesting in the place. Bleach stains on stuff; frayed/worn furnishings/upholstery. What used to be the waiting area is now basically a store with crappy kitsch merchandise. They've got a "spin the wheel and get a prize!" wheel at the register And it's weighted. :doubleroll: The prizes are along the lines of 'get X free when you buy service that costs 4x' and 'get $RI off service if you do this'. If you book those services then and there.

And I don't care how racist/xenophobic this sounds: staff that speaks English. If I wanted to be mostly unable to communicate with the service provider and hoping for the best, I'd be at a $10 manicure place. She was an exception on the staff, but it was still as stilted and uncomfortable in that respect as being at one of the cheap asian salons.

Yeesh! Sad that your experience wasn't good but HOW'S YOUR HAIR!?

12/22/2009 12:49:20 AM

Still pretty /my one vanity

I was already gonna lose 3 or 4" (last haircut was april), so when she asked if I wanted to cut off 6" for pantene's version of locks of love, I was like 'why not? I haven't had anything but LOOOOONG hair in a while'

So now it's just longish-medium instead of long-long. Moderate layers; no bangs.

12/22/2009 12:51:47 AM

It sounds pretty and I'm glad you donated!

12/22/2009 12:58:15 AM

Bought this today!

12/22/2009 6:39:13 PM

12/22/2009 9:44:59 PM

yes!!!!!!!! i love it!

12/22/2009 9:47:24 PM

Do any of ya'll subscribe to magazines or know where to get them cheap? I'm trying to get Southern Living for my mom and I've looked at a bunch of sites and cheapest I can find is 19.95 for a year. I don't mind paying that but was going to see if ya'll knew something I didn't.

12/22/2009 10:27:27 PM

amazon?

i got a bunch of subscriptions from amazon. they are always having deals for $10 and $5 magazines. if you haven't looked there i suggest trying that!

or do you have frequent flier miles?! because you can usually get them cheap that way too

[Edited on December 22, 2009 at 10:29 PM. Reason : .]

try bestdealmagazines.com

12/22/2009 10:37:54 PM

Okay never mind. I must have searched something crazy because now I got on Amazon and it says $5....Thanks for telling me to look again

12/22/2009 10:39:19 PM

slickdeals also has a bunch of magazine deals

12/23/2009 12:51:28 AM

I just bought this dress for new years!

Hello women

I apologize beforehand for any misogynistic overtones, but I figure you guys (gals) can answer this best, and by hiding here and not making a thread, I won't be exposed as a gaylord.

I just bought myself some badass stainless steel cookware. Previously I stored by junky pots and pans in an under counter cabinet, but this is sort of a lame solution. So, is there some awesome way to hang or shelf my new stuff? Like a wild shelf or something, I don't know much about this kind of thing. Hanging from the ceiling isn't really an option; my kitchen ceiling is 11 feet high and I don't really want to bolt anything into a wall I don't own. It's a pretty small kitchen, too, so maybe keep that in mind.

Thanks, and stay fly.

12/23/2009 7:23:57 PM

are you trying to display it? or do you just want a nice place to store them?

or


[Edited on December 23, 2009 at 7:28 PM. Reason : ]

12/23/2009 7:26:26 PM

I mean they aren't really worthy of display, so storage is the more important factor. Showing people I have nice shit would be a plus, I guess. My kitchen is pretty bare.

12/23/2009 7:27:28 PM

i edited and added some pics of things i liked when i was looking for some extra storage for my small kitchen.

12/23/2009 7:28:55 PM

I like #2

Not crazy about the wheels, though. Something about wheels on furniture seems silly to me.

How about a link to that bad boy

[Edited on December 23, 2009 at 7:31 PM. Reason : snap. it's like a three in one motherfucker]

12/23/2009 7:30:48 PM

that one is a little pricey for me... but i'm sure you can find something similar at target or walmart. and i think the wheels come in handy in the small kitchen

Decent stuff

12/23/2009 7:33:26 PM

Ladies..

Soho at Crabtree has pashmina scarves for only $10. They had tons of colors and keep selling out and replenishing. I'm hoping they'll have a new shipment in sometime after Christmas so I can go collect some more.

This is my coat and I bought this color to contrast with it:

12/24/2009 9:43:13 PM

Today I got










these in gold/ terracotta

12/24/2009 10:27:17 PM

I loooooove the second to last ones

but, I hope that's fake skin

12/24/2009 10:29:48 PM

yeah of course they arn't. The colors in the photo arn't nearly as vibrant as they are in person. Im wearing them round the house now to check out this outfit i might wear on a date on saturday. Those shoes, jeans, and this really vibrant blue sweater. I need an orange bag or something :/

12/24/2009 10:37:59 PM

good luck on the date


I got these for Christmas

12/26/2009 10:18:09 PM

Ugh I wish I could find boots like that that worked for me!

12/26/2009 11:15:13 PM

got it from drugstore.com thanks to a recommendation from lunak and i'm thrilled to report that not only has it done a great job of giving me some color without streaking or looking orange, but it also smells great!

12/26/2009 11:18:30 PM

lunak -- why don't boots work for you?

12/26/2009 11:21:35 PM

My calves are not petite. I will say with certainty they're not fat, just muscular. So trying to find boots that fit my calves is incredibly hard and rare.

^^ glad it worked

12/26/2009 11:23:57 PM

^i have that same problem!!

walking on my tiptoes for years has given me some hefty calves

12/26/2009 11:25:41 PM

I hear you, mine aren't petite either. I was a little worried about getting boots from Nine West but they worked out incredibly well

I wore them with some tights last night and they looked fabuloussss

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 11:27 PM. Reason : oops]

12/26/2009 11:25:50 PM

Maybe I'll try some nine west ones


My problem was the whole athletic thing growing up. And I've just kept it up

12/26/2009 11:28:47 PM

ok girls wtf is up with this...

i was at southpoint today and saw 2 diff girls wearing shorts with tights underneath and uggs

is this for real?

12/26/2009 11:29:03 PM

^^same here. plus they're not really the right length on me either. and I'm not a fucking skank hooker.

jk

12/26/2009 11:30:17 PM

I saw shorts with tights and knee high boots (with heels)


And I swear they were like 16

12/26/2009 11:30:35 PM

WAT?

12/26/2009 11:31:11 PM

try going to zappos or nordstrom's a lot of boots are made with wide shafts as well..if you ask them they typically keep some around. I know zappos has their own section for wide shaft boots

12/26/2009 11:31:21 PM

I danced, played volleyball, then did lots of weight training so I have big thighs and calves...

I'm not going to lie lunak, they're snug when I first put them on right around the calves and at first they pinched a little when zipping them up but once I started moving around they felt a lot better and by the end of the first night wearing them they felt really good and nicely snug

12/26/2009 11:31:33 PM

^^^^well one girl was super young , prob like 14 and was wearing a spaghetti strap top with it (and NO JACKET, she gonna catch a cold!!)

and the other one was an adult woman prob in her 30s but no older than 35
