Victoria's Secret Semi Annual Sale


Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale starts tomorrow online for the Angel credit cardholders. I previewed items that are part of the clearance, and the selection is impressive this time a round. Some of my favorites from the Incredible, Angels, and Sexy Little Things collections are on sale, and in several colors, not just the undesirables. The panty selection is great as well; most bras have a matching bottom on sale. If you have the Angels credit card, definitely take advantage of the pre-sale, and if you do not, never fear, the in store sale is near!

Gorgeous!

I have a slight obsession with bras lately, thanks to a good friend of mine. ;) My latest favorite is the Gorgeous Push Up from Victoria's Secret, which finally arrived in the turquoise blue with white polka dots that I have been waiting for. I have it in white too. The patterns are gorgeous, indeed, and have super cute matching panties. And being the fan of push ups that I am, it does its job perfectly.


Victoria's Secrets latest bra, the Miraculous, adds two cup sizes instantly, and although, the designs are beautiful, it is the first bra I have ever said makes me look too big. They did just release it in a un-padded balconet version that is beautiful, and worth giving a shot.


And last, but not least, my tip for saving at VS: there are always coupons, and sales. I hardly ever buy anything full price. At the bottom of every receipt, there is a survey you can take for $10 off any $50 purchase, there are mailers for free panties and $10 off any bra, and if you are an Angels card holder (that is their credit card) you get a monthly savings booklet, plus points for every purchase made, leading to rewards cards. If you are ordering online, check out RetailMeNot before you place your order. Almost all the promo codes are listed there, and you can usually combine up to three. 

Happy Shopping!

Back from vacation...

As some of you may have (hopefully) noticed, I have not blogged in over a month. I have no great excuse, which leaves me a bit disappointed in myself, but I am trying to get back on track. I am currently trying to figure out what direction I am heading with my design and entertaining interests. 

Project ideas are compiling in my head, the one on the forefront being redecorating my condo. It has been almost two years since I moved into my two bedroom, two bathroom home, and now that it is mine, all on my own, I have free reign to color choices, furniture styles, and of course total responsibility for... the bill. My attempts will be very budget conscious and pocket book savvy, but fun and ever so Brittnee. Some of my favorites come from the lofty looks of the CB2 catalogue, which came today. Here is my current inspiration.
I love this bedding, and the tiny yellow bird tea lights.


This "bag vase" is only $2.95!



These trunks are on the pricier side, but can take the place of a nightstand.
Place two of these candle holders next to each other on a buffet.


This glass table top leave all color options open and the disk tea light holders work perfectly with the chrome base.
