My wife just bought a shitload of glittery nail polish because she won't be interpreting for the next month.

WHOOPS SORRY FOR POSTING HERE I'M A BRO.

2/27/2012 10:49:54 PM

wait, what

interpreter = no glittery polish?

2/27/2012 10:57:26 PM

^my thoughts too

interesting...I'd like to know more about this


ON A RANDOM NOTE

Not sure if any of you Raleigh folk have heard of Sparkcon, but I'm heading up fashionSPARK this year! http://www.sparkcon.com/sparks/fashionspark/

Our first meeting is tomorrow night at 7:30 at Spy...if you're interested in working with an ALL LOCAL fashion show that's a ton of fun, come out to the meeting. You can also PM me for questions!

ok I'm done plugging myself

2/27/2012 11:25:32 PM

^ thats exciting stuff.

^^ I imagine it's not professional?

2/27/2012 11:38:53 PM

5^where do you buy that brand?

2/27/2012 11:41:26 PM

Sign Language Inpterpreter = her hands are her livelihood = nail polish of any kind = forbidden

2/27/2012 11:42:16 PM

Ok makes sense now. You didn't mention the language so I was thinking like Chinese or something.

2/27/2012 11:45:08 PM

Oh yeah, lolz. Sign language = you're not allowed to have fancy nail polishes 'n' shit. Chinamenwomens are probably allowed to.

2/27/2012 11:49:15 PM

ladies help me out. I'm going on a 22 day road trip to ATL, NOLA, Houston & Austin (2 week conference) What do I pack? I don't want to overlook anything.

2/28/2012 2:33:05 AM

pannies

I always forget mine and have to buy new ones on a trip...so they're at the top of the list

2/28/2012 7:05:51 AM

you should probably either write down or plan out in your head what kind of places or things you will be doing while you're in those cities.

you said you're going to be at a conference so obviously business attire clothes would be included but you probably want to be able to bring stuff that you can mix and match (think tanks/cami's and cardigans) and stuff that could go from day to night (change into jeans and switch up cardigan and put on jacket with heels). if you bring a few nice dress pants, a nice pencil skirt, 2 pairs of heels, maybe 1-2 pairs of casual pants, a few button up shirts, and then 4 tanks/camis and 3-4 cardigans, that should put you at a good start. then you can add in whatever else you may need to bring. i would try to pack for one week but pack things that you could mix it up with for the second week so you're not lugging around 2 full weeks worth of clothes.

2/28/2012 7:36:48 AM

so i don't know WHAT is going on with my skin but it has never broken out this bad before and i feel like it keeps getting worse. like as soon as a pimple starts to simmer down, i feel 2 more popping up.

i have also noticed that my skin is INCREDIBLY dry around my nose and mouth which again is something i've never had to deal with before to this extreme. i had been using the same facial cleanser and moisturizer but switched last week to another cleanser to see if that would help some and it doesn't appear to be. i'm using clean and clear pimple cream and that ain't cutting it anymore.

any suggestions on products to try????

2/28/2012 7:38:59 AM

Has anybody tried that Simple facial stuff? The one that they always advertise on TV as " The UK's best facial line" or whatever.

I, too, have been breaking out pretty badly. Mostly around my chin. I quit taking birth control in August of last year and ever since I have gotten back my high school acne problems. I use Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash (been using it for years) and its just not cutting it now with my new acne problems.

In high school my mom bought me Proactiv to use and my acne cleared up pretty quickly. I'm wondering if I should go back to using Proactiv but that Simple stuff has me intrigued.

2/28/2012 8:40:53 AM

I just wanted to say if I still worked in an office I'd be buying up white house/black market's new work attire line like it was nobody's business.

2/28/2012 8:50:08 AM

^I love it. Just wish it weren't so darned expensive.

2/28/2012 9:14:53 AM

Coco Rocha is in the WHBM commercials

she's probably my favorite model right now! LOVE IT

and yes elkbaby...they have some great stuffs

2/28/2012 9:21:06 AM

FREE FRYE BOOTS!!! They aren't the Veronica Slouch (the ones I really really want), but they are free and they are coming to ME! My cousin was cleaning out her closet and doesn't want em anymore, and they are now MINE! Wooooooo happy dance

will you have access to laundry facilities/service? I really hope so. packing clean clothes for 22 days would be the pits.

2/28/2012 11:49:19 AM

^^sweet!

2/28/2012 12:06:35 PM

I am jealous, LKB! So awesome!!

2/28/2012 12:16:06 PM

yes I will have laundry. it's a geek & music conference so business clothes are actually out of place. ugh. I know I'll forget something but oh well. Thanks ladies

2/29/2012 3:04:55 AM

uuuhhh...are you going to SXSW??

2/29/2012 10:06:15 AM

I bet she's working SXSW

I met her when she was working Hopscotch

2/29/2012 10:17:26 AM

maybe for my [very belated, uugh] bday present you should arrange for me to go to SXSW

2/29/2012 10:23:39 AM

horrible idea

come to Hopscotch instead

I'm ending this thread hijack right now

2/29/2012 10:47:31 AM

HOPSCOTCH

2/29/2012 10:51:55 AM

I don't even know what hopscotch is but without googling it is it safe to assume it's the poor man's SXSW?

2/29/2012 11:02:17 AM

very poor

homeless even

2/29/2012 11:06:05 AM

Ladies of r/frugal, let's compile some female-centric money-saving tips!

Awesome list.

And I, too, am excited about Hopscotch.

3/1/2012 11:23:04 AM

3/1/2012 11:24:18 AM

3/1/2012 12:16:38 PM

I want those shoes, minka!!!

3/1/2012 1:15:43 PM

the sales lady at anthropologie was particularly good today styling me up. i walked out with this dress and belt. could not leave with beautiful cardigan as it was $$ and i have a navy and white cardigan already. however, it's on my wish list.

3/1/2012 2:34:00 PM

Oh man...that is all cute!! I want that cardigan too.

3/1/2012 2:34:42 PM

What do you people think about these?

3/1/2012 2:36:59 PM

oh my my my

3/1/2012 2:38:20 PM

skrippah heels

3/1/2012 2:40:39 PM

kbai

3/1/2012 2:41:39 PM

I mean I can see the promotions girls wearing them

BUT THAT IS IT

3/1/2012 2:48:45 PM

I do like those merrells! I really need a tennis shoe in my wardrobe though. I have to throw out my new balances and my ratty yellow converses. The new balances hurt my feet now, and the converses are destroying the bottoms of my socks.


But those merrells would be so nice for summer...and I have my pink sparkle converses if I really need a full coverage shoe...


Decisions

3/1/2012 10:54:56 PM

Another question! I need new pants. My body is changing quickly, and I can't keep buying new pants every two months. We have bills and a wedding to pay for. So, I would like a couple pair of pants that are maybe drawstring, that wouldn't look terrible baggy, but are somewhat fashionable. They will be for casual and work wear. I am a nanny, but I like to look halfway decent because the family is very well off and sometimes we all go out together or they have business meetings at the house. Must be easily laundered! I was thinking maybe linen or something light, so I can wear them through the summer, and they dont turn the a/c on until 80 degrees. Got any ideas?
