Bella Bird

Bella Bird is a new fashion line at Wal-Mart of all places. It basically looks like an inexpensive version of Downeast Basics. It’s still pricier than what you’d usually pay at Wal-Mart. It’s more of Kohl’s price tag. At the moment it’s only available in select stores in Utah and Idaho. Sometimes when there’s just a statewide company like pennsylvania energy I wish that everyone else had a chance for it too and Bella Bird is that way too. I don’t now if the modest fashions would do as well in other states though.

I would actually go out of my way to shop at one of these stores. I hope that it’s around to stay and that the line expands. All of the fabrics are so soft. The other thing I wasn’t expecting was that certain pieces were hand wash only which also isn’t usually a Wal-mart Trademark. Have you tried the Bella Bird line?

I Wish I Wasn’t on a Budget Diet

I went on a budget diet because of some changes at work. I’ve been really good about not shopping. With any business sometimes you have to cut down on personal expenses and this is one of those times for me. I’m sure it happens in every business like a hospital moving around funds for a new medication cart.

However, the one store that always gets to me is Coldwater Creek. Right now they’re having a 50% off outlet sale. It ends Tuesday so hurry. A lot of the tops that I’ve wanted that started out at $50-$90 are now down to $11-$25. However, since I don’t technically need any of it I’m still on my budget diet.

Cute or Tacky?

The first time I saw the trend of headbands with large fake flowers on them I just thought it was adorable. At first these were just stretch headbands with large flowers on them for babies. All of those pictures of kids wearing flowers bigger than their heads were just adorable.

However, at least in Utah I’ve been seeing this trend all over; even on senior citizens. Usually they just use floral clips or smaller wire headbands. However, to me it just looks so juvenile even if everyone is wearing it. It’s hard to take anyone seriously who is wearing one of these because I wonder if they stole it from their kid. Are people wearing these where you live?
