LUST-HAVE LIST| October 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

Hey you – Happy October! I hope your October has started off a lot smoother than mine, but that’s a rant for another day. We’ve gathered here today to see what items I would love to acquire this month. Despite how the month started for me, I have faith that it’s going to get better moving on!

The Fall vibes have taken over me and my space, but in scents and decor only. I’ve been long overdue to change my wardrobe, because I’m over the oversize tops and leggings combo. Maybe October will be the month that I step it up. However, in the meantime, checkout the items I’m wanting this month!

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2024

  • Olaplex Bonding Curl Gel – I’ve been wearing my hair mostly curly for months now. Olaplex has been good to me in the past, which made super excited to see that they have a bonding curl gel. This definitely at the top of my want list.
  • ‘REPLICA’ Afternoon Delight perfume – I’ve been feening to add a new scent to my life and the lates scent from REPLICA sounds right for me. I’ve become a warm vanilla girl and I need to have this on me for fall and winter.
  • Cute Fleece Camo Jacket – Initially, I was shopping around for a nylon camo jacket for chilly fall days. However, this fleece camo moment changed my mind, because it looks like a floral print. Also, it being a fleece jacket is the cherry on top.
  • Large Olive Green Bucket Bag – I shouldn’t have to explain why I want this next item, because look at it! However, I’ll give you a brief reason – it’s a large olive green bucket bag that give casual chic Fall. Done.
  • Teva Commute Moccasins – A hybrid pair of sneakers that look like they can take on a long fall hot girl walk while still being able to get styled? Throw it in the bag immediately

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

This month’s Lust-Have List was almost a week late, which should tell you how my month has started. Still, I won’t let that deter me from ruining my birthday month! Although my birthday isn’t until later this month, I do plan to enjoy it as much as I can. So much so that I even went ahead and brought my box of fall decor from my storage. I pulled everything out the box, but I need to style it.

Speaking of style, I have no idea of what style I want to take on for fall. The issue is that I’ve lost 80 pounds over the last year and not really sure on how to dress this new body while still working losing more and toning. It’s so weird, but I’m trusting the process. Even though I’m not sure of my exact look for fall, this month’s Lust-Have List does include a couple things I want to include. Take a look at the things I’m wanting this month for my birthday month.

  • Philadelphia Eagles Varsity Jacket – I’m so geeked about it finally being football season! I never was able to get the “princess Diana” Eagles jacket, but this varsity style jacket would make a nice runner up.
  • Slingback Buckle Shoes – What I love about these slingbacks is that they are flats with a chic twist.
  • Double Creme & Powder Blush – I’ve been dabbling with liquid blush for a minute, especially when topped with a powder. The duo coms with the powder and creme blushes in the shade. I love the shade because it would give me the right look of flushed skin.
  • Mini Shopper Bag – My obsession with mini bags continue and mini shopper bags have been my current faves.
  • Crystal Bezel Tennis Bracelet – I’ve  been loving the look that my duo dainty gold bracelets has been giving. However, I’ve been wanting to add the look of a diamond tennis bracelet without the price. I think the crystal tennis bracelet will be perfect!

LINK-END ROUND-UP: August 2, 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday and first Friday of August! When I tell you I’ve had one of the emotional rollercoaster weeks I’ve had in a long time; believe me. The highs were great and amazing, but the lows were in hell. I’ve been working alone in the office all week, with very minimal human interaction. Then I would love work and go back home; where I live alone. The ultimate cherry on top is that my period is a couple days away. It’s been the perfect storm all week!

In the end, I realize that I do need in-person human interaction sometimes. Oh, also, going outside for more than the couple minutes it takes me to walk from my car to work/home entry helps. Thankfully, this weekend, I will be back in the presence of other humans and will hopefully get out of the depressive era. I might even go get a pedicure, but I’m hoping my nail tech can squeeze me to repair my nail. However, a new set would melt away all the depression and stress I’ve been dealing with this past week.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a great weekend! If you are going to be inside trying to avoid the last summer heat, please check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.

LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy August! August is one of those months that I’ve learned to look forward to each year. Aside from it marking the beginning of birthdays almost every other week, it’s also pre-fall! There’s just something about this time of year when you try to squeeze every ounce out of summer. Personally, I’ve been thinking about trying to confirm a last minute mini road trip or late summer beach vacation at the end of this month. All of the possibilities are endless, but I still am getting a little excited for fall.

As for this month, I’m planning to soak up as much summer as I can while preparing for fall. Well, best friend has already planned to break out her fall decor after her birthday (August 9) and she’s excited. Hopefully, I can hold out looking for new fall decor until the end of August. As for now, this month’s  Lust-Have List will show that I’m somewhere in the middle of Summer and Fall.

LUST-HAVE LIST: August 2024

  • Rare Beauty Tinted Pressed Powder – I’m very much in my face powders, but I still need a good pressed powder. I’ve been loving the reviews of this powder from Rare Beauty and think will be a perfect finishing powder, too.
  • Fifth & Ninth Brynn Cat-Eye Sunglasses – There’s no way you can look at this pair of sunglasses and not gasp a little. Well, I did which made me feel like I need them ASAP and they aren’t as expensive as they look.
  • Shiseido Eyelash Curler – This eyelash curler is iconic and a cult favorite! I need a new one and why not go for the best? *shrug*
  • Mid-Rise Trouser Shorts – After years of trying to avoid showing my legs, I’ve worn more shorts this summer than I’ve worn in the past 30+ years. I’m not over aggerating. So, I want to keep it going in the fall with these trouser shorts. However, I envision wearing them with opaque tights, when the weather gets cooler.
  • Face Lifting Chin Strap -I’ve been obsessed with those women on TikTok that do morning peels of all their sleep contraptions including these chin straps. Apparently, these straps help lift your face while you sleep. However, I also hear that they also help if you grind your teeth and I can’t wait to find out.
