Hey September!

September is one of my favorite months. In case you didn’t know, September is my birthday month. Although, I’m not one of those kinda obnoxious people that celebrate their birthday all month, I still have a love when September finally hits. Aside from my birthday, it’s also the month when fall (my favorite season) finally arrives. So there’s that to look forward to, also.

Back to this month’s Lust-Have list.

It’s only safe to assume that my September LHL is just a perfectly catalog birthday wishlist for me. I will admit that usually end up getting 1 or a few items off this list every year. I guess it serves that purpose. So, keep reading to see my birthday wishlist/ Lust-Have List for September 2015.

• planetbox lunchbox – A lunchbox that guides you in packing a healthy meal quickly and easily. The compartments are great for portion control and the design of a retro cafeteria lunch tray is great! Luckily, they offer different sizes that’s perfect for kids and adults.
• Rebecca Minkoff Finn Suede Flats – Fall seems to be the only time of year that I embrace a pointy-toe flat. I’m really smitten with these flats by Rebecca Minkoff. Fall-friendly color of oxblood with the mixture of suede and leather material is such a nice look. Plus, these flats can pair well with skirts or pants.
• Morey Platform Bed – I haven’t had a platform bed since college and I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. In my current life of minimalism, a platform bed seems the ideal way to go. This bed looks so simplistic that I feel like, with a few trips to Home Depot and a good drill, I could build this bed. However, I know that I’m not one to do that. So, buying this bed is the next best option. Actually, buying this bed is the only option.
• Ole Henrikson Invigorating Night Creme – Other than foundation, finding a good night cream has been very difficult for me. It’s either breaks me out or shows no improvement to my skin. For now, I’ve just been using coconut oil at night (what can’t coconut oil not do?) and it’s been doing a great job at moisturizing my skin overnight. Still, I’ve been yearning to try this new night cream from Ole Henrikson. Not only does it hydrate your skin as you sleep, but improve the texture of your skin, as well. So, I classify this as a need.
• Eddie Bargo Pyramid Bracelet – Thin, flat, and stackable jewelry is one of the trends from the 90s that’s having a moment is style and I want in on it. What I love about this gold-plated bracelet from Eddie Bargo is that it’s bold enough to stand on it’s own, but designed to look just as amazing when paired with similar styles.

Well, August has arrived and I’m still trying to figure out where July went. Maybe, the record breaking heat caused my memory to sweat away…along with my make-up. Anyway…Hey, August!

Although the heat is still lurking, it’s slightly dying down and soon the coolness of fall will replace it. In the meantime, August is another one of my chill months that doesn’t include much other than my brother’s birthday. Since I don’t have any kids, the beginning of the new school doesn’t mean anything to me other than a tax-free weekend. So, my brother’s birthday is as good as it’s going get, other than a month of simple workdays and potential leisurely nights.

Maybe its just the anticipation of fall or the fact that stores are now advertising all of the new fall fashions, but some of the things that are on my radar this month are things that I probably don’t need for  a couple of more months. However, I’m all about preparation and scouting items I want. So, you will notice a couple of tthe things I’m lusting for this month don’t necessarily work for me…just, yet.

Still, here’s what I’m lusting for this month!

• BECCA x Jacyln Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed – All the make-up girls (and guys!) have been clamoring about this limited edition hightlighter all over my social media timelines. BECCA teamed up Youtube Makeup Guru Jacyln Hill to come up with this universally perfect peachy white gold highlighter that adds illuminating and soft pearl glow that compliments most skin tones. A must-have…and lust-have!
• Converse Chuck II Hi-Tops – In case you missed the news, after almost 100 years (98 to exact), Converse recently redesigned their iconic Chuck Taylor sneakers by adding more comfort in the form of foam insoles and no-slip tongue without taking away too much for the classic look.
• TopShop Over Sized School Holdall – One thing that I do look forward with Back-To-School fashions are the abundant of large purses that are roomy and presented as alternatives to backpacks. This one from TopShop comes with more than enough room to carry my life, but also a long, adjustable strap to sling it on your shoulders and also large handles.
• Apex Dumbell Rack – Recently, after only joining 3 months ago, I cancelled my gym membership. I hate admit this, but I had only been a few times and didn’t really like the environment. So, I’m looking for another gym. In the meantime, I recently took a liking to weight training. It’s really good and toning and burning fat. I recent bought some weights in different sizes that currently reside on the floor of bedroom and I might’ve stumped my toe a couple of times. Therefore, this dumbell rack is more of a need than a want.
• ASOS Curve Shoulder Stitch Sweater – Off the shoulder tops are having a moment that will carry into fall. I actually work in a cold office. So, I can actually use this sweater now.
