LUST-HAVE LIST: December 2022 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Holidays! It’s the last month of 2022 and I’m ready to wrap it up! LOL Nothing bad or detrimental has happened this year, but I just love the fresh start of a new year.

As for this month, I’m actually feeling a little more festive this year than past years. I even put my tree up this past weekend and planning to buy some decorations this weekend. As usual, this month’s Lust-Have List is basically my Christmas wishlist and I’m going to try to get them all. Yes, even if I have to dig in my wallet, too.

Keep reading to see the items that I’m wanting this month and year for Christmas!

LUST-HAVE LIST: December 2022

  • Black & Decker Cordless Handheld Vacuum – One Consumer Reports top rated handheld vacuums. Asking for a cordless vacuum for Christmas is peak adulting, but this is a need. This is the only gift that I asked my sister and brother in-law to get me this year. So, I feel confident I will be vacuuming with this beauty in 2023.
  • REPLICA By The Fireplace perfume – I recently treated myself to the Sephora Perfume sampler set, which features samples of their top seller perfumes. It also comes with a certificate so that you can get a full size of any of the scents. This scent by REPLICA was in there, but I opted for different scent. However, this is the perfect warm vanilla perfume and I want it so bad.
  • Rice Dispenser – This is definitely a “TikTok made me want it” item. Not only is this functional, it would look great on any kitchen counter. I’m West African and Mexican, which means rice is life.
  • ORLY GELFX Builder in a Bottle Kit – I’ve been trying other gel nail builders, but the ORLY GELFX is still the best one I’ve tried. So, I hope I can get one of my Santas to get another kit for me.
  • ME Manifesters Satin Jacket – I’ve been wanting a satin bomber style jacket for awhile and this one by Melody Ehsani is just right. Lowkey obsessed with this!

Feeling Fuzzy Coats

I’ve been stalking fuzzy coats for the past few weeks. This has been one of the most confusing moments of my life, because I haven’t been a coat person for a few years. Also, the last thing my big introverted self wants in this world is to draw attention to me. I’m pretty sure that if I was to wear a fuzzy coat, I would draw attention. Yet, I still want every fuzzy coat that I see in my size.

Invasion of the Puffer Jackets

I have to admit, I’m feeling a little salty, because the weather hasn’t been consistently cold. On one day it’s unseasonable warm and I’m thinking about wearing sandals to work. However, the next day, I’m digging my combat boots and lightweight sweaters from the back of my closet. Not to mention, now that Halloween is dunzo, it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas around Memphis. My daily commute down Poplar features lamp poles with lighted snowflakes with Christmas music playing while my windows are down to catch the warm breeze. Just all types of wrong. Another thing that’s just wrong is my desire to finally get into puffer jackets.

It’s been decades since I’ve had a legit puffer jacket and I’m not talking about those thin flimsy looking ones. I’m talking about the ones that are so plump, you look like you’re related to Michelin man. I’m already quite puffy, but that has yet to deter me from wanting a puffy looking jacket. Plus, there are too many cute and even nostalgic options to not at least consider getting one.
