While Elsa usually doesn’t jump on the trend bandwagon, I think the “dad sneakers” are definitely a trend she’s picked up on after they got popular. While I don’t really like them at all, I do think that they can styled to still flow with an outfit, but they looked really out of place with her skinny jeans and cardigan look. Like here, I still don’t like them but at least they go with the colours and the edgier sunglasses she’s wearing.

New Gizele signage in stores that I haven’t seen online yet. Also wow, their sport line has really jumped in price. I went in to check their 50% off deal and leggings that used to be $60-$70 are now $80-$100.

But the two commercials posted before it are the exact same length, with a 1/6 of the views. There are also 15sec clips that have 3-4 mil views. I just think it's odd how all over the place their views are in general.

Nothing really important but something odd/interesting I noticed while poking around for VS content. The Dream Angels commercial from this week already has over 600K views in 2 days, while the holiday commercial just barely cracked 500K after 4 months, and the last two commercials are at 100K. That's a big disparity.

Nah, they’re ugly as shit.

Herieth looks AMAZING.

https://www.victoriassecret.com/lingerie/bridal I don’t think it’s a specially designed collection for bridal, just a curation of their white lingerie pieces. I know they used to have a specific bridal look book- I specifically remember Lily having it in 2011, and some pieces had blue trim and details like you suggested. Edit: Some other lookbooks I found. Miranda Kerr in 2013 https://www.fashiongonerogue.com/miranda-kerr-is-a-sexy-bride-for-the-victorias-secret-bridal-collection/ Lindsey Ellingson + Anais Pouliot in 2014. This is the last one they did, as far as I can tell. https://www.fashiongonerogue.com/victorias-secret-bridal-2014-collection/

@Limerlight Good Bye. Wishing you the best. Will miss you and your commentary!

Season two felt a lot like a set up season to me. I get what they were trying to do with the “big bad” and Jessica’s turmoil but it didn’t really feel emotionally satifysing to me. I found myself more interested in the side characters like Malcolm and Trish, and found parts of this season a real slough. I like where they ended though, and am looking forward to season 3. Also wouldn’t have minded some crossover from the other Defenders. This season felt very isolated after having the big collaboration of The Defenders.

from VS bridal Pinterest board - That shot of Taylor.

Thanks! I saw this on Gizele’s story today. Looks like the US got a different coupon book than Canada did, so these are new to me. Hopefully we get the pictures in better quality eventually.

The NA weren’t announced until the very last week of April, so it’s still possible there’s some lineup changes coming, but I don’t think any of the NA will be leaving, and I’m starting to think they’re not adding anyone either. They’ve all shot in the last month or so. If there are changes I would suspect it being Bee (she seems so over VS and modelling as a whole) or Lily (she hasn’t shot since November as far as I can tell) departing. Candice I’m iffy on- could go either way with her after her pregnancy.

I don’t even think it’s a seasonal thing- like Siemgi said- Dream Angels is always three blondes. Is it kind of a tone deaf choice to not shake things up in a era of embracing diversity? Yeah, for sure but I don’t think you can point at one commercial and go “racism!!” This Miami shoot actually had more WOC than VS usually uses, thanks to the inclusion of non-Angels. Gizele, Lais, Jasmine, Cindy, Herieth. Hopefully we get more shots of these women, especially the non-Angels because it is really refreshing to see some fresh faces. (Especially Herieth, who hasn’t had any shots released yet!)

Where are my location shots of Gizele? If all we get are that perfume campaign picture I will be upset. I hate that they only use that same tired song in all their commercials now, but it was a better commercial than they usually put out. Just walked past my VS store and they’ve changed their signage to the big window hangs of the blonde Trio and one of Cindy.

I picked up the BBV bra on the promo today. Regularly $65 CAD for $30 CAD.

I believe she was shooting some sort of beauty editorial today- I saw 3 different make up looks.

It’s really weird lighting and filters, and I don’t think it’s an official VS shoot. Martha and her boyfriend just take pictures at home for social media promotion.

I think a big part of Alexandria’s appeal on YouTube was that she was/is a model. Lifestyle/beauty vloggers are a dime a dozen nowadays, and her career was probably part of the reason she managed to gain such a following on YouTube. She definitely capitalizes on it- the majority of her videos are industry related: “My Make Up Routine for Castings,” “Model Diet!” “Life as a Model!” but I think that’s going to wear thin for her audience if she isn’t actually working as a model/won’t have fresh content? I also would have expected Alexandria to be getting a boost in fans from her YouTube channel, but she is losing social media followers every day. Add in that fact that she doesn’t have a consistent upload schedule(she hasn’t done anything for almost 6 weeks now) on YT, which is critical for success on that platform, Alexandria just seems really all over the place with her career.
