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.
