i just noticed that one of the little stones is missing off the necklace. negative feedback time?? 3/28/2012 5:01:01 PM |
Beethoven All American 4080 Posts user info edit post |
Contact the seller first, and give them time to rectify it. It might just have come off in the mail or something. If they won't fix it, then leave negative feedback. 3/28/2012 5:02:14 PM |
GREEN JAY All American 14180 Posts user info edit post |
i sent them a message. i'm just not sure what "fixing it" will be in this case, since i don't think they have another one, and mailing it back will cost more than what i paid. i did find the stone in the packaging so i will try to glue it back on myself... 3/28/2012 8:20:29 PM |

the headband came in a little over a week (from CA) and it was packaged really well with a hand written note saying thank you. she even included a really cute flower bobby pin (one of those nice metal heavy duty bobby pins).

I love it!!
my red bow came in from etsy as well.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/principessabows
As soon as I placed the order she messaged me and actually took my purchase of a premade item and turned it in to a custom order. I know it was a simple thing to do with the bow I ordered, but it still was excellent customer service, that same day it was already out for shipping!

Since we're talking about folks on etsy, I purchased this lovely fascinator back in February for Mardi Gras
http://www.etsy.com/listing/68044133/feather-hairclip-teal-peacock-feather
and also this bolero
http://www.etsy.com/listing/59592753/ivory-short-sleeve-satin-wedding-bolero
both sellers were awesome! Very helpful and my shipments came super fast. 3/29/2012 9:12:43 AM |

thanks! it was very reasonably priced (for wedding stuff - i am not doing a veil so this is my hair piece) too! $40 and it's definitely something i can wear again which i liked.
even my fiance was like, "wow you look really pretty" 3/29/2012 10:57:50 AM |

I just went to go have my hair cut and would definitely recommend Delonda at Shavel's 88 Salon in City Market. I'm going to help her make a website for the salon. Crazy part is that the haircuts start at $18. Thought I'd post this in case any of you were still students and looking for a good, affordable haircut near campus. 3/29/2012 3:06:49 PM |

ever mourned the loss of a missed shopping opportunity? i just can't get over not buying these earrings. I told myself I had to wait until I got paid and they were gone before. sigh.
I've been looking on ebay and the website to see if it gets stocked.
This happened to me before with this dress. Didn't buy it because I wanted to save my pennies first, then by the time I saved up, it was gone. Saw it on a lame boutique site by accident way afterwards and they had marked the price way up. I almost bit, though. thank goodness it had sold by the next time I checked that site.
my new fixation is this dandelion tunic. it's $45 though, and in the uk. I think i will order some leggings from there because they seem extrordinarily cheap for the nice colors, going to be hard to drop that from my cart.

That's why I couldn't wait to buy my swimsuit. Couldn't pass up getting a $100 one for $30. I buy 1/4 as many clothes as most of the women on here though, and that's the only clothes I have rushed to buy. 3/30/2012 10:15:01 AM |

I know this thread is mainly clothes but I felt like posting anyway
The wife and I just went out over lunch today to pick up a couple rugs we had been eying for awhile. They were both really nice, 100% wool rugs but were a little bit pricier than some other options we had looked at. Anyway, our local Capel had them on sale this week PLUS we had a 20% off coupon to use at the same location. Ended up walking out of there with $1000 worth of rugs from them for $630.
We got the left one in 7'x9' for the dining room and the right one in 3'x5' for the entryway/foyer. Can't wait to get home and make sure the colors work in the space the way we planned

first one is ~
love the second one 3/30/2012 12:49:31 PM |
CalledToArms All American 22025 Posts user info edit post |
Yea colors in the first one just worked perfectly for what I had in mind in the dining room (at least from viewing it in the store). We have monochromatic green walls in there with different saturations of the same color and I thought carrying the same idea into the rug with a blue would look good. This rug fit the color scheme I had in my mind perfectly and I hadn't found another that I liked more. The graphic is actually a repeating raindrop pattern but I was aware that is does look like hearts as well (especially in this online picture)
I'm thinking once it is on the ground and under the table and all the chairs and such that it won't be as in your face as it is there.

does anyone have a VS secret rewards card that they're not using? for some reason I didn't get one and I need to buy an emergency bathing suit for a vegas trip - will be the first time since I was in 4th grade I will be wearing a bikini (I've had tankinis, but always been super self-conscious about wearing a bikini for some reason) 3/30/2012 1:19:52 PM |

Love the second rug. I've been looking for something similar. But we have a round dining room table, and a square room, so we either need a square or round rug. It seems like everything is oblong or rectangular. 3/30/2012 1:33:48 PM |

Some places will cut rugs and re-do the edge if you ask them (obviously this would be at a big rug place, a carpet & rug place, and someone like ikea might even do it). Also, certain places also will do custom sizes of the same pattern other than what they sell stock. It is a little more expensive / ft² than the stock but is worth looking into. For example, that 2nd rug that you liked, the 4 stock sizes are all rectangular but they do sell it in whatever custom size you want as well.
Now, that is a somewhat pricey rug because it has a interior designer's name attached to it (which is why we found a way to use it in the 3'x5' size instead of a big area rug) but you might be able to find something you like that isn't as expensive and do the same thing. Just for reference though, in case you are interested, that is the Genevieve Gorder Arabesque rug in Oslo Grey.

a good place to go to look for furniture, rugs, stuff for the house is Green Fronts in Farmville, VA. it's only about an hour from Raleigh on the VA border. they sell a lot of nice designer stuff that has a small crack or nick in the side and back and can't put on their showroom or sell and they also sell a lot of discontinued stuff. i furnished my first apartment by shopping there and only ended up spending about $1000 - and that included box spring and mattress, Lexington headboard, nightstand, hand crafted 6 foot bookshelf, hand crafted dresser, coffee table, and desk. 3/30/2012 2:36:58 PM |

I have to admit, not a fan of the boob flowers. Seems a little too over the top/attention whorish, but I have small boobs so I try not to draw much attention up there. If you have boobs you want to be stared at, you're good. 3/30/2012 3:58:32 PM |
