Thought I would make it a regular thing of sharing what I've been lusting after the start of each month. So here's my September Lusts!
Enjoy!
1) Graphic tees
I know a cute graphic tee when I see one! Everyone is bound to have one of those I'm-too-lazy-to-dress-up days at some point.. (..or is it just me?). Solution: Without having to try hard at all, just throw on a cute graphic tee with your comfiest pair of shorts/jeans/leggings/skirt/whateverfloatsyourboat.
If graphic tees could say a thousand words about a person, this one definitely screams me.
This is from Widlfox Couture - basically, the designer brand of graphic tees.
If you find dropping $100 on a graphic tee a bit much, I completely understand.. Just hit up your local topshop/h&m/forever 21! They are bound to have a whole section dedicated solely to graphic tees.
2) Valentino rockstud leather bracelet
I haven't really paid much attention to this brand but recently, I've been lusting over everything Valentino!
I'm no punk rocker but I have an unusual weakness for studs. From their studded bags to shoes to accessories, its no wonder it hasn't taken much for me to fall in love Valentino.
I especially love the chunky studs on this bracelet.
Studs + statement piece = Samantha might just have to skip meals for awhile........
£165
3) Mnologie perspex clutch
I delight in finding small, independent stores. This lessens the chance of an awkward "who wore it best" moment..
This is why I was happy to have chanced upon Mnologie, an online store based in Bali. Apparently, all items are handmade and carefully selected by the owner.
How chic is this perspex clutch? With the increasing trend of play on brand names, the 'Celine me Alone' pouch definitely ups your stakes in the fashion game. Even if you aren't keen on the pouch, mnologie stock a selection you can choose from. I've always been too scared to carry a transparent bag. My fear probably stems from the fact that I may or may not be the most organized person when it comes to my bags.... With this clutch, the pouch is a life saver in hiding the deep dark secrets of your bag.
Oh and did I mention, this bag can be personalized. You can engrave your name on the clasp of the bag so no one else will ever have the same exact copy as you.. ;)
Really tempted to place an order for this bag!
4) Stuart Weitzman 5050's (boots)
These boots are made for walkin'. But definitely not wearing.... I've had my eye on them for awhile. Well, I tried them on in the store not too long ago. Was wearing jeans. Took 5 mins for me to put them on. My leg was up in the air, sideways, flailing around. The sales assistants even tried to assist my feet in sliding into these boots - not 1, but 2 people. All this in a bid to try to get them on. Even after all this hubbub surrounding my feet, they only managed to make it halfway....
This was definitely my Cinderella step sister moment.. Or if you know me well enough, just a typical Samantha one..
As if one embarrassing attempt isn't enough, I refuse to be defeated. After constantly finding these boots mysteriously pop up on my google image page, I'm convincing myself to give these boots and my step sister feet one more go. If it's good enough for Angelina Jolie, it's good enough for me. In order not to repeat my "Cinderella" stunt, I'm probably going to wear leggings instead of jeans with these boots in the future. Would definitely recommend those of you who are interested to do the same - learn from my mistakes.
Do you guys think the £395.00 price tag is worth the splurge though? (trying to justify it here! Especially since I've such a difficult time putting them on..)
5) Year Zero London Customized Bag
When I saw this, I immediately knew it had to be on this list.
Year Zero London basically do graffiti, but on designer handbags. It cannot get anymore customized than that..

I'm a hello kitty fan so this definitely caught my attention. However, with a normal LV neverfull probably less than 600GBP, the price for this bag at 3000GBP is definitely slightlyyyy inflated..
Still a major lust though!
6) Hermes Kelly Dog
ahh, the H word........
As of late, I've decided to only spend money on accessories that I know are classics. Basically, pieces that will last me a lifetime and that I can eventually hand over to future generations of my family. With this motto in mind, I've been lusting over the Hermes Kelly Dog as it fulfills of all those things.
At 350GBP, it is a little pricey but considering its Hermes, the price is justified a little since you'll be expecting nothing but the best quality through all the wear.
Currently on the lookout for it in black with gold hardware since black is a versatile color and I usually wear gold accessories. Any donors please do not hesitate to contact me ;)
7) Chanel Ballet Flats
I've been on the look out for a new pair of flats but have yet to find a pair I really like. Comfort is a top priority on my list of qualities I look for in the perfect pair of ballet flats (yes, instead of choosing guys, I choose shoes). Practicality should probably be up there with comfort but that plummeted to the bottom of the list when I spotted these nude Chanel ballet flats. Seeing as how I live in rainy UK, these probably won't see the light of day if I buy them. Nevertheless, I may act on impulsiveness and get these.... Someone definitely needs to restrain me whenever I'm near a Chanel store..

8) Bling laptop case
I love my bling so this laptop case definitely had to be in my lusts for this month!
I love how this laptop case is in black crystals. Provides enough bling but doesn't overdo it. Yet, still has an edgy vibe.
Possible upcoming D.I.Y project for me!
Do you lust? ;)
