LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2014

LHL_sept2014

September is my favorite month! Not only because it’s my birthday month (September 26), but also it’s the first official month of fall. Although the heat hasn’t completely left the forecast, there have been some days when I had the option to throw on a cardigan to fight the early morning chill. Score! So, I know the cool days are soon to come, as you will be able to tell in the things I’m lusting for this month. Take a look below.

  • MICHAEL Michael Kors Selma Large Tote – Every fall, it’s nice to invest in a new black, everyday purse. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been eying this bag from MK. I’m into structured and clean lines this season and this purse looks like it fits the bill. I think this is going to be my birthday gift to myself.
  • Marc Jacob Daisy Dream – I’ve loved all the Marc Jacob Daisy perfumes and I’m sure this will follow suit.
  • Schutz Quesadilha Slingback Mules – I slingback, chunky heel, ankle strap mule! Yes, please! Plus, the black/brown combo will carry you from fall to winter and possibly right into spring. Options are girl’s true best friend.
  • Disney Cartoons Graphic Sweatshirt – When Forever 21 released their Disney collab collection, all the pieces were fun and nostalgic. However, this sweatshirt was the one item that I wanted instantly and would look great paired with black leggings, jeans, or even skirt.
  • A Taste of Honey Almost Lipstick Trio – One of my favorite lipsticks from Clinique is the cult classic Black Honey Almost Lipstick, which is a sheer deep burgundy that compliments all skintones and is my go-to lip for fall and winter since it adds a moisture to your lips. However, I’ve yet to try the other “Honey” Almost Lipstick. So, the fact that Clinique has temporarily released them as a trio makes it all the more perfect time to buy and try them…finally!

LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2014

LHL_aug2014

It’s that time of the year when the days are getting shorter and I’m holed up in my house stalking my weather app for the arrival of cool and crisp temperatures. Yes, fall is approaching and I’m feening for it! I can’t wait to break out my cardigans, heavy knit dresses and tights (NOT leggings).

So, I’ve accumulated a fall intense list of items I’m lusting for this month.

  • Christian Louboutin ‘Rouge Louboutin’ nail polish, $50, Nordstrom – I can’t fathom paying $50 for a manicure, let alone a polish, but Christian Louboutin is releasing his first nail color this month in a bright red, which is the same hue as the sole of his iconic shoes. I’m definitely curious to get a bottle. (PLUS, that bottle looks INSANE!)
  • Sabine Double Link Necklace, $64, Piperlime – I’m not really a fan of silver jewelry, but I love the look of the black and silver link necklaces together. This necklace is a great piece to tie a plain outfit together or add a little edge to a soft look.
  • Rebecca Minkoff Leo Pouch in Leopard, $95, ShopBop – Leopard print is a neutral print to me, because it practically goes with any color and adds a subtle pop when added in the form of an accessory, such as this sleek pouch from Rebecca Minkoff. This piece might become your BFF for a night on the town.
  • Striped Scoop-Neck Jersey Dress, $29.94, Old Navy – I saw the navy/orange version of this dress this weekend while shopping during tax-free weekend and I was so mad that I didn’t buy it, but I’m glad I didn’t, because I would much rather get this black and tan version. Perfect for fall and winter.
  • Kara Chain Loafers, $120, Topshop – I’m really trying to fall back from wearing too many flats, but these oxford loafers are too amazing. I love the detail of the thin gold chain between the upper and sole of the shoe.
  • Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Cream, $38, Sephora – I’m in the market for a new eye cream and I’ve heard this one is great to help brighten, hydrate, and firm the underye area. Just what I need!
  • Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, $89.50, Clinique – My skin has always gotten along with Clinique products, especially their 3-Step Skin system. So, I’m definitely curious to try out their new skin cleansing brush. I hear the brush is super soft and gentle, but very effective in removing dirt and makeup from your skin.

LUST-HAVE LIST: July 2014

LHL_july2014

It’s so hot and I’m all about trying to be casually cute. You know, nothing too frilly and overdone. I’m into simple pieces styled with fun, yet chic accessories and minimal makeup, which is pretty much the same as last month. So…

  • MCM 3 Fold Wallet, $315, ShopBop – I’ve been eyeing this wallet for a few weeks now and I think this is the month that I’m finally going to bite the bullet, because this old wallet I have is peeling and I need a new “grown up” wallet that has a fun edge and this MCM fits the bill and dollar bills. Sorry for the lame joke.
  • Benefit They’re Real! Push-Up Liner, $24, Sephora – A gel liner pen?! Oh, this sounds like something I needed…say…last year! I need to try this ASAP!
  • RAINBOW Gladiator Sandal, $110, TopShop – I haven’t wanted a pair of white gladiator style sandal since I was in junior high when neon floral prints and thigh highs were in and Clueless was fashion blueprint. Yet, I’ve been craving a pair like these I spotted on TopShop’s website. Simple, yet versatile.
  • Alice & You Pleated Skater Skirt, $47.64, Asos.com – I feel like I need this skirt from Asos Curve line more than I want it. Plus, a navy skater skirt? Why don’t I already have one in my closet? That needs to end soon.
  • Classic Chuck Taylor, $50, Converse – It’s summer time and I need a new pair. Everyone needs a new pair, every year.

Congrats on making it to the halfway mark of 2014! Can you believe summer is practically here? Well, I can because I’ve had too many hot mess days thanks to the heat. Eh. So, I’ve been on this dress, simple shoes, and random casual bag kick with minimal makeup and jewelry. So, why not keep that going into June? Yeah. Here are some things that I’m lusting for this month.

  • Hamilton Beach Java Blender, $69, Target – A machine that brews hot AND iced coffee?! However, not just coffee, but also teas and smoothies!
  • Fallon Infinity Bent Ring, $175, Shopbop – I love this 2-fer ring that can be worn as a regular and midi ring in one.
  • Premium Leather Backpack, $200, TopShop – A white leather backpack seems so right for the summer. Shouldn’t we all have one?
  • MAKE UP FOREVER Aqua Matic in Iridescent Turquoise, $21, Sephora – A simple bright eyeliner and mascara can go a long way without the need for much more. Fun, flirty, and fast!
  • Garden Party Skater Dress, $22.80, Forever 21 – When I saw this party dress, I instantly came up with so many scenarios that I could see myself reaching for this dress this summer. Weddings, parties, BBQ, and even just running errands on the weekend. Countless…
  • Vince Niven Cutout Flats, $325, ShopBop – I’ve been contemplating buying a pair of Vince’s d’Orsay flats for the past month. However, that energy and contemplation went out the window as soon as I saw these hybrid of their d’Orsay with a wide strap. These shoes will look amazing paired with everything from shorts to dresses, to fun cropped trousers for work.

I’m feeling very adventurous or at least yearning to be a little adventurous, which I like to think is the same thing. Anyway, I’ve been embracing more colors and thoughts of more adventures and hobbies.

So, here are a few things that I’m lurking and lusting for this month. Dig in!

  • Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil, $18, Sephora – When the weather warms up, in regards to make-up, less is more. Less time and less product is my go-to motto and this creamy lip and cheek oil is the perfect product that will give you that naturally dewy look that every one tries to create.
  • Michael Kors Padlock Charm Necklace, $125, ShopBop.com – It’s pretty and would look great layered with other small necklaces.
  • Samsung Galaxy s5 – I have the Galaxy s3, which I really love, but it has ran its course and all the upgrades and new additions to this phone have me in awe and lust.
  • Dolce Vita Fiji Flat Sandals, $139, ShopBop.com – These sandals would look fab when dressed down and cute for a hot night on the town.
  • Suede Snake Embossed Luggage Bag, $160, TopShop – I plan to go on a girls weekend with my sister this month and my goal is to only pack one bag and this one from TopShop is super cute.
  • Crepe Woven Shift Dress, $32.80, Forever 21 – I want this dress! The versatility in this dress is all over the place. Perfect for day and night and would chic paired with strappy sandals or a classic pair of pumps.
