The Lust List #1

SHOPPING, THE LUST LIST
July 24 2015

[show_boutique_widget id=”281525″]

Hey everyone! Yay it’s Friday and I know a lot of you are excited at the prospect of having a lie in this weekend, catching up on your favourite shows, or simply having a day out at the mall perusing the shops and grabbing some Froyo! I will be doing a few of those things myself!

So today’s post is the first of a series I’d like to launch on my blog, you all know how much of a shopaholic I am, and the sheer excitement I get from discovering new pieces to add to my wardrobe! Not only do I peruse the shops, I also scour the web and this will be a great way to share the things I find with you all, and also perfect for those who need some inspiration, especially when you’ve been lusting over particular item, but have no idea where to get it from.

[Tip: Hover over the picture for info, click it to take you to item on store’s website.]

~~~

1. TOPSHOP Court Shoes ~ Don’t get me started on how this pair of heels tick all the boxes. Sexy Courts, check. Lace up detail, check. Heels, check. Snakeprint, check, check, check!

2. MISSGUIDED Bathing Suit ~ No-one told me the least exciting part of a holiday was actually the planning part, looking for the right hotels, budget stretching, timings that suit everyone etc, however, finding gorgeous bathing suits in between hotel reviews has been fun! This one is very me!

3. MISSGUIDED Gladiator Sandals ~ Flats?! Yes flats. I’m a heel girl through and through, but I seem to have fallen in love with these flat gladiators sandals. They’ll go really well with flowy dresses! I’ll have them in black too please!

4. MISSGUIDED Suede Midi Skirt ~ This gorgeous wrap skirt is a nice twist on my beloved pencil skirts. The colour is lush too!

5. #GIRLBOSS Book ~ At the top of my Book Lust List for some time now, I’ll be having a good read if it this summer!

6. STREET LEVEL Leather Tote ~ I’ve been searching for the perfect Nude Tote, something that’s just big enough to hold all my stuff. I’ve had my black Zara one which goes with everything for a while now, needed to switch it up! This even comes with a little wristlet! How cute!

7. RIVER ISLAND Sunglasses ~ Cat eyed sunglasses seem to be the only style I’m lusting over at the moment!

8. ASOS Boyfriend Jeans ~ Still on the quest to find the perfect pair of BF Jeans, these one’s seem cool! I’ve been told to also check out ShopBop for some of these by one of my lovely readers. I may just do that!

9. ASOS Scuba Halter Dress ~ I’ve been loving soft pink and peachy tones recently and been gearing towards a lot of dresses! This one is absolutely gorgeous, and seeing as I’ve got a wedding to attend next week, I think it’ll go down well with soft makeup and simple hair.

I hope you like! What have you been lusting over recently?

    Hello Shirley,

    Very tasteful list 🙂

    I purchased cat-eyed frames this week, I plan to use them for my reading glasses.

    I hope the midi-skirt trend never gets old, I really love the silhouette both in fitted and full skirts.

    Thank you for sharing this, have a lovely weekend!

    Shirley, thank you! My friend is getting married in Italy in two weeks and I haven’t got my dress yet. This peach/pink ASOS dress is perfect – I’m buying it on payday. I’ll make sure to come back and buy it through your link 🙂 THANK YOU!

    Hey Shirley,

    I bought Girl Boss in April while I was in Canada and I can confirm it is indeed worth a read. Sophia is such a bad ass and I got so much confidence and encouragement from it to keep going with my new blog 🙂

    Hi Shirley, You are absolutely gorgeous and your blog is super cool! I am so obsessed about it that I would like to know how do you make all your pics look so bright and so professional? I guess you are using some kind of photo shop. I do photo shop in my pics but, do not know how to get the same results you do with yours.. Also, whats the name of the plugin you use to display the sponsors products above. Is it in your blog’s theme or is a plug in? Shirley, please, I would be so grateful if you could answer those question. You look like an angel! Your blog is stunning and everything is so perfect! I am totally obsessed about it! Congrats for having such a good taste! Shirley, thank you for taking the time reading my comment. I really appreciate! My email: kuka.kuka@aol.com Thank you!

    I am also lusting and wanting more cat framed shades. I love the funky mirrored lenses but the two pair I have are both heart shaped and don’t really flatter my round face (but they are still cute) so I would love to come across cat eyed shaped fun colored mirrored glasses. My eyes are already slanted so I find those work well for me.

  • Reply Dumo August 7 2015 at 2:36 am

    That midi skirt is so so beautiful! But midi skirts look so right when I’m not wearing them 🙂 Based on that, Shirley, please do a video or blogpost about items of clothing you love but you feel are a challenge for you to pull off. I look forward to hearing your opinion!
