The code is SWIMCLEAR and it's only good for clearance suits. It expires Aug 23rd (today) so hopefully it still works. The site is down for maintenance right now so you might need to wait a bit and then try again.

Thanks for the tip Shelby FL!!! I needed some bandeau styles and was able to grab a couple from Victoria's Secret. With the 40% off I got three suits for $57 including shipping to Canada! And to think I almost bought one today for $150 Even if there are customs or handling fees i'm still getting a bargain!!!

Hi All, So I went into Ricki's today to look for shorts and I stumbled across these gorgeous dresses regular $80 on sale for $39.99. We were having some trouble finding dresses so late in the summer so I thought what the heck i'll try one on and if I like it i'm buying them. It looked great on and then the sales lady told me they were actually on sale for $29.99 and that it was also a buy one get one free deal! Holy jackpot!!! Last day of the sale and everything so it was totally meant to be. I love, love, love the purple. My BM's haven't seen these yet so I hope they love them as much as I do. Oh and if they hate them the lady told me I could return them, can you believe it? Not even a final sale (BTW the one I tried on to show below is way too big on me but i'm sure you get the idea)

I agree totally go for P90X. Time permitted or not...just do what you can and if it's only half a workout so be it! There's a 10 minutes AB RIPPER on P90x and trust me if that's all the time you've got on a busy day then that workout will get you results in your midsection quick! On days when you have more time do the full workout. I train bootcamp style and this workout is the only thing that has even come remotely close in a DVD set.

We are doing a donation to a local children's charity in Puerto Vallarta. This is something different but also very special. We are going to print out little cards with the charities logo and our guests names. It's a nice way to say "Thank You" and support the community that provided you with the wedding of your dreams!

I found this company to provide quality workmanship and excellent customer service. I for one did not find anything fraudulent about this transaction. They provide constant updates on your orders progress from beginning to end. They confirm once it's in production all the way to when it's complete and shipped. They also provide a tracking number for all shipments so you can check it online. Creditcard companies have to have high security especially when dealing with overseas and online shipments as there is a risk you every time you make an online purchase with your creditcard. We received our order exactly as specified and in only a few short weeks once it went into production. Paypal is definitely safer so if you are concerned about security that may be a better option for you. We went through Paypal and didn't have any issues here!

Okay so we just got ours and my FI tried it on and it's not too bad. We are obviously measuring tape impaired and weren't too accurate on the pants. I think we measured the bum/crotch area wrong. The jacket is a near perfect fit! Just needs to come up about 1.5" in the length, again a measuring issue on our end. We kind of started guessing and adding .5" here and there. My tip...measure accurately the first time, LOL. Or have professional measurements done and save yourself the trouble. We bought the pure Irish linen and overall my FI loves how light-weight it is and how the jacket fits. Sorry no pics just yet, he said I can take them once we alter the pants! I think it will look great once we fix our little mistakes

Looks great!!! BTW where did you find your FI's shirt?

I'm short as well and i'm going with a wedge sandal with a strap so I don't bail in the sand and hopefully can dance all night. These are pricy but i've checked out a tonne of reviews and most have said they are super comfortable. I like the silver the best but they also have them in white as well. Geox 'Roxy' Sandal - - Nordstrom

I love Ruby...it's so beautiful!!! However I do agree that the Reese dress does look stunning on the beach. Both are gorgeous so whatever you choose you'll look amazing!!!

I like #1 & #5. #1 is a bit more simple and relaxed and #5 if you want to fancy it up. I also am a fan of Maggie dresses, they are so flattering!!!

We're picking up ours today. Wow... fast delivery to Canada...took only 5 days once we were given a tracking #!!!

LOL Good Luck Ed and Jillian!!!!...I really hope it works out for them and I also hope Jillian buys him some new shorts

My father actually just talked to me today about giving a charity donation in our guests name to a local school/community program at our wedding destination (Puerto Vallarta) and I absolutely love the idea!!! It would be really great if this idea catches on and more people decide to do things like this. I think it's amazing that you're also organizing a cruise. You and your guests are going to have a wonderful time!!!

I'm a huge promoter of bootcamp style training programs and training with a good friend. It is sometimes hard to be motivated on your own and a more assertive training style is usually the kick in the butt some people need. I agree diet is absolutely important but PLEASE before you go starving yourself please look into a more rigorous exercise program. If you aren't getting enough calories you are going to feel drained and tired and you won't have enough energy to work out. I think with your body type doing more core building exercises would be very benefitial in toning up your midsection. While I wouldn't call your goal unrealistic I think breaking your goal up into stages would be more rewarding. Another thing to consider is changing your goal to lose inches, it might be easier than looking at pounds and you'll also get a better idea of how your body shape is changing. Good luck and congrats on losing 60 lbs so far!!! Amazing!

Gorgeous pics!!!! Love the ones of you two against the stone wall, they're so romantic. Of course the kids are adorable. I love the one of your neice in the high heels

Okay ladies...don't hate me too much but I can't stand Jake after the last episode!!! He makes me feel sick. It's all an act with him and personally I think he's a better actor than Wes could ever be. He has every women swooning over him and it looks like that was his plan, for America to fall in love with him. He never really cared about Jillian, it's total BS, he totally said he was going to fall in love with her before he even met her or could even truly know her. Notice how irritated Jillian was with him on Monday, she clearly can't stand the guy and I don't blame her. When the woman in the audience suggested he be the next bachelor he was giddy like a school girl and gave an answer like a politician and we know how trust worthy they are! Fake Jake, that's what I call him and the producers aren't stupid, clearly by the way they have scripted the whole season, he won't be the next bachelor. Wow it felt good to get that off my chest. Anyhow that being said next episode will be interesting i'm sure. I'm interested to see how the whole Reid thing pans out!

We just recently chose Songbird by Eva Cassidy. My FI teared up when I played him this song (not something that happens very often) so it was a clear winner.

I love the back of your dress. It's so elegant and flowy, absolutely gorgeous!!!

I'm going to have to agree on #6. It's destination wedding for sure but also has a very glamourous feel as well. Mermaid is definitely a great fit on you!!!

Sweetheart necklines are the best! Love the detailing on your dress. Gorgeous!!!

We're ordering ours today! Can't go wrong with this price and we're hoping custom will help save on the tailoring costs. We are going with the pure irish linen suit ($175) in the Pure Light Beige. I'll try and add some photos once it comes in.

I really think that Ade and Jason were wearing too much clothing last night I agree that it likely will be Randi and Kupono going home... Fave dance last night was the Bollywood. I loved their outfits, they all looked stunning. Travis' routine was also pretty hot!!!
