Yeah the shipping time is pretty ridiculous, but I think it's because they don't just have a warehouse of merchandise, they actually have receive it from the designer then re-process and ship to customer.

For Valentine's this year, me and the boyfriend are doing dinner Sunday night, to avoid the craziness that is Valentines Day at restaurants. I'll get him a small gift and I'm sure he will get me flowers. Pretty standard.
 
Yes that is the reason for the extremely long shipping and frequent short-shipped items...so annoying! If I find something really good I suppose it's worth it...
 
Bah, that site only delivers to US and Canada. :(

As for V-Day, we don't make a huge fuss, but we think it's nice to recognise our mush-lovey-dovey sides of our personalities. We don't go over the top, simply a card and a small gift, and a big ol' pash usually. :)

It falls over Earth Freq (big bush-party) weekend for us, so our gifts have to be portable and not require refrigeration!
 
oh gosh, i shouldn't have clicked on the hautelook link. i'm such a sucker for a good deal. how long are these really long shipping times?
 
Mine take at least 3.

It's not too bad, the shipping cost is actually a pretty reasonable $6.95 and I think it's a flat rate. I bought a coat there and that was the shipping price, same as all the other things I have purchased.

Just don't buy anything you're planning to wear anytime soon.

re: V-Day. my boyfriend and i don't celebrate it either. i find something about it (forced romance maybe?) to be a little cheap. either way, the weekend after we're going to Vegas to see The Black Keys so i suppose that could be chalked up to V-Day festivities. :)
 
^ I joined Rue La La and Gilte Group using your invites!

AND...I finally got my hands on a bottle of Black Shatter today!!!! After weeks of stalking stores near my house, I finally, finally got one. Another woman and I showed up exactly at opening time today and got our hands on the last 2 bottles the store had. I also picked up Not Like The Movies, because after seeing swatches, it was the one I liked best with the black shatter.

In class right now and my computer is 7 mins from dying, but I will paint and post pics/review after work tonight! What a great start to a Monday!

EDIT: I am in love with this polish. I'm so happy that it was worth the wait, and didn't end up a big disappointment. I applied it over Zoya's Eve (a dark pink) because that was my current manicure, and the contrast wasn't as obvious as I would have liked, so I took it off and started over with Not Like The Movies.

Thin coats are the key, thicker coats result in larger "shatter" pieces. Two coats of top-coat makes it a nice shiny finish, the shatter alone is matte. Forgive the poor web-cam photo quality, I'm too lazy to deal with a digital right now.

I shop the first three sites as well...I missed the Louboutin sale Gilt had a few years ago and I'm praying for them to have another one! (although it's not likely, a girl can dream)
 
Oh my god queenbee that looks amazing! 8o I can't wait to get my mitts on Black Shatter! <3
 
I am off to get my hair cut this afternoon. I want to do something totally different and crazy but I am not sure if I am getting my promotion or not. Plus, I hate my red hair and its hard to find a color that goes with a redheads complextion.
 
What if instead of totally changing your color you tried doing some highlights or lowlights?

The couple of times I chopped my hair off I made the decision while I was sitting in the chair and didn't have a chance to lose my nerve. I never regretted it either time that I did this.
 
lol my befores are just back in a ponytail. I have extremely thick curly hair and I wake up for work at 4 am and too lazy to do my hair so it just goes into a ponytail.

ocean you can see my pics on fb
 
^There is a picture of you with what looks like maybe a cut just under your chin and it is straightened??? I love that- There is also another where your hair LOOKS darker (I think its the light)- just a darker shade, maybe a reddish brown- I think that looks awesome too!!!
I can't wait to see the after pics!
After I cut my hair it was a little shocking but I'm getting used to it and really liking it straight........even though it is a little annoying some days to have to straighten it :)
(I get lazy)
