Another edition of a written rant and rave with a deep underlying desire for things I really don’t need. Like I’m serious here – I’ve spent more money than I care to think about over the past few months. But with no more events, and no more weekend getaways on the near horizons (I lie, I’m planning a shopping weekend…) it’s time to hunker down and save. I may say this about once a month, but I really have nothing at all that I need. So besides the necessaries, and maybe a dinner or two out on date nights, I’ll be as frugal as I can be! But here is what I’m drooling over.

I’ve been a big fan of Matt and Nat leather bags for a long time. One of my first ‘Big Girl’ purchases (probably when I was 12) was a purple zippered Matt and Nat wallet and I absolutely loved it! Even today, although I dont use that wallet anymore, I still love the quality and the leather. It had been quite awhile since I’d purchased one, although I drooled over my friends collection, but after purchasing the Mitsuko Tote I’m hooked again. I’ve been loving the Brave Backpack in Black and think it looks absolutely amazing every time I see it on the streets. I love Matt and Nat, I see my next bag purchase coming from them for sure.

Other than pricey leather purchases I’ve, of course, been lusting over a few beauty products of course. These for sure are not necessary purchases and are more on the lines of products I’d love to try in the future. The first is the Ole Henriksen On the Go Cleanser which is supposed to be a supper aromatic cleanser jam packed with lots of vitamin C for a great pick-me-up. My skin could use it. I’ve been loving more orange-y eyeshadow tones recently so I’d love the Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette for the fall. Of course, on every shopping list and wish list I’ve created recently is the Elizabeth and James Nirvana White eau de parfum. I’m so in love with this scent but have so many others and never think to buy myself a perfume.

It’s only a few things, but of course the prices add up. Now there are millions of others that I’d love to add to the list, but c’mon, I’ll always want more!

What things have you been lusting over lately?
