A little Birdie Told Me . . . Fall Must Haves

This fall, wine is the color of choice.  This color is so hot and can go with everything.  Here are some wine fall must haves:

 

Luichiny Women's Angel Lina Shoe

Luichiny Women's Angel Lina

$80.75

 

Women’s Red Wine Suede Style Stiletto Heel Platform Ankle Shoe Boots

 

Also, a leather jacket is a must this fall.  A leather jacket can change the look of an entire outfit.  I also recommend a leather skirt just because!!!

 

So these are my fall picks.  Do you think these are trends you will try?  What do you think about wine color shoes?

CurvieBirdie Weekend Finds

Happy Monday!!!  I was not feeling very well this weekend, so I did not do too much.  But Saturday was so pretty in ATL, I had to force myself out of the house to pick up a few things.  I am pretty sure ya’ll know me by now; I got what I needed and a few items I wanted!! 

I went to Target for food and household items when the sales signs started calling me, “CurvieBirdie, come look at me!!”  So I did, and here are my finds!!!

003

002

These ankle cowboy boots are too cute!!  I feel in love immediately, well almost immediately!  They are going to be a “go to shoe” in my winter wardrobe!!!

$24.48

011

009

This top is super flowy and has am exposed zipper down the back.  Purple is slowing becoming my color this season and I could go wrong with this price.

$14.98

 

012

Standard T-shirt for Mister.  $2.98

015

Hoodies are an awesome piece to have in any man’s fall collection.  I love the colors on this one.  It can be worn fall, winter, and spring.  Mister will like this one!!!

$4.98

 

These are my weekend shopping pleasures.  Its always fun to integrate grocery shopping with great finds like these!!!

So what do you think about the cowboy boots from Target?  I was kinda skeptical at first because I have only purchased sandals from there.  Never a fall shoe.  Have you?  How did you like them?

Something to Chirp About: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Happy Friday Ladies and Gents!!  The weekend is upon us once again.  I hope everyone has some awesome events and shopping planned for the weekend.  As for this CurvieBirdie, I will be attending a Breast Cancer Awareness Month Pink Party hosted by Studio 404.  It will be an evening of dancing, mingling, and fun.  A percentage of the proceeds from the party will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  I would love if some of you CurvieBirdies would come out as well.  Here are the details:

Winterize Your Wardrobe Wednesday

It’s hump day; almost made it through another week!  So I have a small dilemma.  I have all these really cute summer clothes, but the season has changed.  I am not quite ready for sweaters due to me living in the ATL which still has 75 – 80 degree weather. 

So what I have decided to do is to “Winterize my Wardrobe.”  In order to do this, you will need a jacket, boots, scarf, or some tights.  I will be doing this for the next few weeks, and you ladies and gents can tell me what you think!!

Target Skirt:                                                                   $5.38

Something to Chirp About: Wedge Sneakers

Happy Monday CurvieBirdies.  Weekend is over now back to the grind.  I few months ago, I share with you that I had a fetish/obsession with accessories.  Well, I am beginning to get that same feeling with shoes.  I know; it’s sad!!

I have been seeing a trend with these wedge sneakers (gym shoes for my mid-westers).  So I decided to that I may actually try this trend.  I have heard so many great things about these gym shoes.  So check out my picks below:

Ash Colorblock Suede Lace-Up Wedge Sneakers - Black-Taupe-Blue

Ash Colorblock Suede Lace-Up Wedge Sneakers - Black-Taupe-Blue

Saks Fifth Ave $235

I love these, but not sure if I’m willing to spend that much on a trendy shoe.

 

 

GoJane combo wedge sneakers  $25.90

These are much more affordable.  Still super cute, but on the low!!

 

ALDO - Basiline

Aldo Baseline Wedge Heel Sneakers      $90

 

SKECHERS - Plus 3

Sketchers Plus # Wedge Heel Sneakers  $74.99

 

Steve Madden Olympiaa Wedge Heel Shoes   $99.95

 

So what do you think of this trend?  Do you like wedge gym shoes?  Do you own a pair?  if so, are they comfortable?
