My Favorite Finds of 2011

I love to discover new things; especially cute, funky, and affordable items.  Here are some of my major finds of the year.  I hope these items can be some of your favorite items in 2012!!!!




I so love their eye shadows.  I used to buy MAC eye shadow until I discovered ELF.  These cosmetics are truly a great buy and works just as well.  I still buy/use MAC because they do have amazing colors.  The colors start at $1 for singles, but can be purchase in pallets for $5 and up.



I also use their brushes everyday.  They are all around $1 - $3 a piece.  They can also be purchased in bundles.



This is Neck Warm is from Dots, which is my new favorite accessories store.  You can great the hottest items for the low-low.  These neck warmers are $10.


This is my new winter hat for the light winters weather in Atlanta.  Cute right?  It's reversible and only $6!!!


This caddy hat is my cute "bad hair day" hat. (Not that I have many of those!!)  It is only $6 too!!!




These are the "Onyx" earrings from http://www.prettygirlglam.com/.  Love all her stuff.  Please check her out.



So hot right?  Got these too!!



These are my favs!!!  It can be worn with so much!!!  Her jewelry is so hot!  I get compliments every time I wear her stuff.  So trust me, you should try Pretty Girl Glam too!!!!


I can't say enough about Jeffery Campbell.  His shoes are the baddest in the land!!!  And, they are so comfortable.  Finally, a man that understands womens' feet.  You can't go wrong with his shoes!  Plus he does have exclusive styles that only so many retailers will have.  So you won't have to worry about seeing a lot of other CurvieBirdies rocking your shoes.  These are my first pair!!!!!

So here are my major finds for 2011.  I hope you CurvieBirdies check out this brands for yourself!!!  Happy New Years!!!

Something to Chirp About

After moving to Atlanta a year and a half ago, I realized that my Chicago winter coats were too bulky and heavy for the lighter winter weather, so I took some time out today to try and find an “Atlanta” winter coat.  There are tons of SALES on right now, so here are my finds . . .

This is from My Favorite store OLD NAVY!!!!!  It can be purchased online in Plus Sizes for $39.99.  Its available in 1x-4x.


This coat is from Forever 21.  I just learned last week that they had plus sized fashions.  Ya’ll could have told me!!!  This coat is $44.80.  Available in 1x-3x.

This coat is also from Forever 21 Plus.  Its $34.80.  Available 1x-3x.  Can’t go wrong with a camel colored coat.

This super hot Merona peacoat is from Target.  I love this color, don’t you?  It is available online for $27.98.  Available in X-Small – XXL, and it’s water repellent!
So now my dilemma is which coat do I choose.  I am on a strict $70 budget for a coat, so with these finds, I may be able to get two.  Which would you choose?

Holiday Party Fashions

This is the holiday season, and I know all you fashionable CurvieBirdies are attending different holiday and NYE parties.  Well, I have never really gone out for the NYE parties, but I may change that this year!  I have been invited out to an event hosted by a CurvieBirdie and catering to all CurvieBirdies in the Atlanta area.  Here are some dresses that I would love to wear, and maybe you would love to wear as well to your holiday parties.

All dresses compliments of http://www.igigi.com

Kaori Infinity Dress  $125

This dress is smoking HOT!!  It can be changed and worn 6 different ways, which makes this my favorite pick for the season!!

Rebecca Gown in Black $225

Now, you can’t tell me this dress isn’t sexier than a ______ !!!!!!  I love this dress because of that low neckline and high split.  It also comes in different colors.

Becca Asymmetric Dress $160

This dress is super cute as well.  I really am feeling the sequins on the one shoulder.  I would definitely need to wear my fat sucker Spanx with this dress so all my curves can show up and show out!!!

Love Spell Gown $190

This dress is trendy, but elegant at the same time.  The asymmetrical shoulder shows off just the right amount of skin for the CurvieBirdie to be sexy, but sophisticated at the same time.  Plus the purple and black look so well together, especially at night!!  Love it!

So these are my Holiday Party Dress picks.  They are a little pricey, but it’s well worth the splurge for an amazing night on the town celebrating the holiday season.  

Which dress would you pick?
