^^ They have awesomely cute socks!! Socks were my "thing" a few years ago, so I have waaaayy too many socks now. But once those are out of commission, I will be stocking up (pun intended)!!
I don't know this has been posted on this thread somewhere, but I posted it on the shoe thread and thought the girlies would love it! www.6pm.com has awesome merch for low, low prices! I can't fit into most of the clothing on there, but they have some great handbags and shoes as well!
I need a new purse....a really big one that I can carry a ton of crap in. I always have at least one or two books, a few CD's and DVD's in my purse. I should just carry a backpack all the time.

I bought this purse last year and love it. I used it for Roo and it was perfect.
i'm a DD, so i'm used to having a hard time fitting into certain store's dresses.
i found a really cute pattern for a couple dresses, and my mom is going to help me sew them since i don't have a sewing machine. i just need to go and pick out some fabric.
this is true about the size of the chest area in dresses. i just went up 1 1/2 cup sizes so i'm not used to thinking about that yet my friends are all telling me how lucky i am to have bigger boobs, but i don't feel so lucky, because my bras/shirts don't fit and i have to look hard for some that do fit correctly.
oh, and hippie--you should check out amy butler fabrics for your dresses, she makes the most beautiful patterns. here are some swatches, but she has lots more fabrics...
here is some of her fabric made into a dress...
and i am totally OBSESSED with these pants, i think they are the most fabulous pants i've ever seen. as soon as i have the $$ i'm totally going to make myself a pair of these ;D
oh, and sorry that i always post so many photos...i just know that i love when i open the girly fashion thread...i get really excited when you girls post pics of cute dresses and such, so i thought i'd share the love ;D
I just went through every page on this thread looking for this post...phewwwwwwwwww!
(I'm getting a sewing machine for Christmas so I was looking for ideas)
I learned a hard lesson last night that I want to share: don't use veet!
I tried it last night, and my legs BURNED all night, and now I have a rash on both of my thighs. It was extremely painful. Ouch.
Oh no! I wish I would have posted earlier so you could have been warned but I got Veet when it first came out and it BURNED the crap out of my skin! I threw it in the trash right after I used it!
Now I am obsessed with Amy Butler's fabric... I want to get a dress made soooo badly! There's a lady on etsy that makes a strapless one and you can pick the fabric. I'm seriously considering getting one. If only I was good with a sewing machine!

Okay, making my quarterly request in this thread.
I need to find some good facial lotion for my wife. She has celebrated the anniversary of her 25th year more than 20 times. So, little lines are showing around eyes and mouth and this bothers her. Not that I think she needs it BTW.
Some of the stuff she has purchased is STINKY (in a bad way). I have a very sensitive nose to perfumes, some I love, others cause a sensation of an ice pick behind my eyes.
Perfume/Cologne History: I've been lucky that she is not a perfume wearing type lady because of the sensitivity that I have. Back in my pre-history, there was a perfume that I remember- Cabochard I believe. So, that is the one scent I remember. I also have a vintage bottle of Perry Ellis around here somewhere. I list this as a reference to those who might know these as an example.
I do not want my wife to smell like my mom.......ewww. My reacting poorly because of the smell of lotion when she crosses the centerline of the bed is not good for the relationship.
The winter dryness is really getting to her. I think she currently has some Mary Kay stuff [okay products], which are pretty neutral smelling.
Anything that can be found in smaller mall/retail would be appreciated. You big city [the population] girls have all sorts of options. Citrus, fruity, sweeter smelling fragrances would be better. I do not like the the Estee Lauder smell that reminds me of mom - see above issue.
Any thoughts comments, recommendations, suggestions would be appreciated. I haven't met most of you, but know that I met some great people last year at Roo and suspect that many others would have suggestions that would work. She is not a suburban princess, but I want to find something very nice because she is the world to me.

Clinique has really great anti-aging products. They guaruntee all of their products, so if you don't see results, you can return it. And they are all scent/dye free and allergen tested, so it shouldn't bother you at all.
Their products can be a bit pricey, but they actually work. So it's totally worth it in my book. Plus they are super helpful. If you go to a Clinique counter and tell them the issues you and your wife have, they will hook you up. And if you time it right, you can get free stuff too.

Veet/Nair is MURDER on my skin too...it burns and gets horribly itchy, and I get a rash. I really think some people are allergic to it, because my friends all use it with no problem. Me, on the other hand...not so much.
Plus it smells awful. I'll just stick to shaving, thx.

as for the skin care question. if you go to kiehls they will find the correct product for your wife that is either unscented or meets your scent standards. they will also provide a lot of fun samples - you might get addicted yourself. i think most women would like either a GC to a kiehls store or some of their product with samples. aveda products do not have an old lady smell but they do have strong scent. im not sure if you like aveda or not but you could go to an aveda store - they will also allow you to try before you buy and their products are high quality. if you are looking for something inexpensive...eucerin makes high quality hand lotions and body lotions that are unscented and can be found in drug stores or at walmart etc.
My dermatologist (and Paula Begoun...an author, check her out) have me on an Oil of Olay Regenerist regimen and I'm quite happy with it. I bought myself a Clarisonic for Christmas and thus far I am loving how clean it gets my face. I am also 45.
SteelCity, last year a friend gave me Philosophy's Inner Grace as a gift and I really love it...very light and clean smelling. I like Chanel's Cristalle in the summer (citrus/floral) as well.
Advice from a woman (well) over 20. Neutrogena Retinol Sa. You can get it at Walgreens. Any of the Neutrogena products are great. And you don't smell like a french whore.
Speaking of Philosphy, I use their Hope in a Jar for sensitive skin as my facial moisturizer. It has a good smell to it, not an "old lady" smell. I also love Philosphy's fragrances, I use "Pure Grace", got a nice clean smell to it

I am over 40 and have been using the Oil Of Olay regenerist line also - not overly expensive, no real scent that I notice, and my skin looks pretty good for my age.
As for perfume, I have major allergies and anything too strong makes me sneeze and gives me headaches. I use Calvin Klein - Euphoria and have no issues with it, I love the way it smells.
Love Olay regenerist. I also have a friend who swears by Kiehls.
And for fragrance, I am also overwhelmed by a lot of fragrances - they just don't react well with my skin. However, Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea has a lovely, light scent that's super fresh and feminine without being overly floral or powdery.

You could try buying some white ones and dying your own...I got into tie-dying my own stuff last year after reading some stuff on inforoo. It's really easy to do, and you can buy the stuff at walmart and look up tutorial videos on youtube.

hey girls! i've been away sooo soo long...but when i come back, you're talking about me! haha...
the yoga pants in that pic were from amy butler's website, but it doesn't look like the pattern is available online. if you're making your own, i'd suggest taking measurements from a pair of pants that you already have and love.
as far as ready-made yoga pants with a wild design...i'm not sure. are you looking for the stretchy, fitted kind or the loose, pj-pant style? i love that tye-dying idea from bamadancer ;D

yay!!! congrats on the new sewing machine, i hope you love it! i gotta get mine out soon to make some new curtains and such for my new apartment. ;D
oh, and amy butler has some new fabrics out as of the fall, so you might find something even better on her site. i've found if you order online from a place like www.hancocks-paducah.com/ its usually quite a bit cheaper. you just have to look out, because some places list their prices by the yard, and some by the half yard. if there's an ikea store near you, there are some cute inexpensive fabrics there as well, although the one i want is ususally sold out just when i go to buy it
OHHH I love those pants and I could EASILY make them! OMG those are super duper! The print itself makes the pants!
For skin cleansing and stuff I've been using Vichy lately. I'm almost 40, and lately I've had nasty NASTY acne. Not all over your face nasty, but one at a time that lasts for a good almost 2 weeks with pain and redness. The doctor says its changing hormones/stress/age....... (Nice, just what a girl wants to hear......) "Not only are you getting up there, but you now have acne from the "Age Fairy" thanks alot.
Anyhow, I've been using Vichy Normaderm line. Its the Shizzzzz!
Hippie, I love you, chicka! I'll be down to Austin to see you soon! I promise! ;D
