LUST-HAVE LIST: July 2024

I’m just now realizing that I didn’t post my July 2024 Lust-Have List! I’ve been a Bad blogger, but late is better than never. I would love to say the reason for the delay because I was too busy trying to have a hot-girl summer. Unfortunately, I’m trying not to have a Bad Breakdown Summer, which is a work in progress.

I thought I was going to be trying to take a bunch of mini vacations and road trips. Instead of of a bunch of trips, I will be looking through a bunch of potential hires. So, my vacations have been pushed back to Fall. However, I’m not complaining – just as long as they happen.

Although my summer isn’t going as planned, that doesn’t mean I’m still not trying to catch some vibes and looks.

LUST-HAVE LIST: July 2024

• Mini Drift Tote – I’ve been lusting after this the big version of this tote for awhile. However, when I saw they introduced a mini version and in cherry red, this has been all I want. Plus, ya’ll know I love a cute mini bag.
• Linen Short Set – After decades of being insecure about my legs, I’ve been trying live in nothing but shorts this summer. Loving this linen short set pieces from Old Navy -pieces are sold separately. However, they are affordable and versatile.
• Milky Skin Toner – My go-to type of toner has been hydrating toners over the last fewer years. Thankfully, more brands are starting to release their own versions, including The Ordinary. I’m excited to try this one next, because I love The Ordinary skincare products.
• Chunky Two-Part Sandals – I rarely want a pair of chunky sole sandals, because I don’t trust my ankles all the time. However, this pair I spotted at ASOS aren’t too intimidating.
• Lychee Rose Eau de Parfum – I got a whiff of this recently and it’s been bookmarked in my brain under “Fruity, soft floral” notes. I think this would make a great scent to transition from summer to fall.

LUST-HAVE LIST: June 2024

June might become one of my favorite months because it officially welcomes Summer on June 20th. I’m usually not hyped for summer, because I don’t like being hot. However, I spent a lot of time outside last summer and enjoyed it. Therefore, I want to see what I can enjoy it again. lol We shall see! June also begins the list of birthdays of my loved ones – my childhood bestie (10th) and oldest nephew (16th) kick it off.

As I think about it, maybe I’m not ready. I think I will be after a couple trips to the pool. As of this moment, I don’t have any plans for a summer vacation, yet. Of course, things may change and that’s a little exciting.

To be honest, I’m really craving a lazy summer of going with the flow and hopefully a nice tan and muscles. An easy, lazy summer sounds perfect and I think all the items in this month’s Lust-Have List reflect the vibe I’m aiming to have.

LUST-HAVE LIST: June 2024

• Mini Raffia Bucket Bag – I think a raffia bag is the perfect nude bag for summer. Personally, I’m obsessed with this mini raffia bag, because it’s so chic.
• Overtone in Ginger duo – I want to add more pop to my dark copper hair without lightening it. I tried the sample size of this coloring conditioner and the results were good. It  was a small amount, but I want to try the duo to see will it give me what I envision.
• Linen Pullover shirt – I live for a good pullover linen shirt for the summer and this one from H&M looks perfect for work or play.
• PHLUR Missing Person – Last year, I got a sample of this perfume but decided on another scent. The scent has lingered in my heart ever since and got body spray that smells just like it. So, now I feel like I need the perfume even more now.
• Flat Hoop Earrings – I’m getting into my slick hair bun era and these flat hoops will compliment it so well!

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024

It’s April and despite a few rainy days here and there, April is usually lovely month to enjoy. The weather is nice and makes you just want to be out in the sun and catch a good breeze here and there. It’s almost time hanging out on the patio after work and going to local farmer markets on the weekend. I can’t wait to enjoy this season ; rain or shine!

I’m so ready for this month and all the things that come with it. The items in this month’s Lust-Have List might give an insight into any plans. However, it does show you how I want to look. So, take a look at the things I’m currently wanting in this month’s Lust-Have List.

LUST-HAVE LIST: April 2024

• Herbivore Nova Vitamin C serum – I recently noticed that my skin has been looking dull then remembered I never replaced my vitamin C serum. However, I want to try this new one from Herbivore, because I already use the eye cream from this line.
• Chunky Gold Drop Earrings – I’ve been wanting to get into the large post earrings and this pair off Amazon would make gentle entrance into this style of earrings.
• Short Sleeve Swing Tunic Mini Dress – It’s spring which means I’ve started to look for cute, easy dresses that I can try on for work or running errands. Love the look and of this dress from Anthropologie.
• Mini Bucket Bag – If you know me, you know I love mini purses. Currently, I’ve been obsessing over the look of mini buckets, especially this one from Madewell.
• Wide Leg Dad Pants – If I can’t spend everyday in a cute dress, then these wide leg dad pants will work just as well. The look so chic dressed up or down.

LUST-HAVE LIST: March 2024

For February to have an extra day this year, it still shorter than usual. So much, this month’s Lust-Have List crept up on me. Better late than never or in the middle of the month. Although it’s not technically spring until March 19th, the weather has been acting like it’s already here. Therefore, this month’s Lust-Have List is mostly leaning towards Spring being here already.

So, keep reading to see what I’m eyeing for this month and most of Spring. Is that a leather jacket I want in March?! Well, keep reading to find out. 😉

LUST-HAVE LIST: March 2024

• Coated Bomber Jacket – Weird that I would want a new  coat in March, but we usually get one more big chill in March. This faux would pair to layer with a denim skirt or leggings and oversized t-shirt.
• Paula’s Choice Mandelic Acid Liquid Exfoliant – I love PC AHA/BHA liquid exfoliant, which makes me want to try this one from them. It’s supposed to be more gentle, but with more benefits. It even touts that it can reverse damage skin barrier. Consider me intrigued.
• Midi Denim Skirt – I saw this skirt in Target a couple of weeks ago and immediately knew I want it for my spring wardrobe. Perfect for a casual work day or weekend friend dates.
• New Balance 2002R – A new New Balance store recently opened up near me and I need to run in to see if they have this pair. I’ve been wanting a pair of New Balance and I think this is the pair I want. Plus I need a new pair of all white sneakers.
• Denim Tabby Shoulder Bag – One of my fav fashion influencers shared this bag on her IG stories and it’s been living rent free in my mind and heart since then. I’m obsessed!
