1. Dear Deer Satin Pillow Slips. I first saw these beauties on a beauty blog a while back and since then I just knew I had to have one. These satin slips should be part of every woman's beauty routine at night in my opinion. They help retain moisture in your hair and skin and it can help reduce wrinkles and puffiness. They are available in a variety of beautiful colours.
Pop on over to their Facebook page and have a look at these beautiful pillow slips and where you can find your nearest stockist or visit Diligo, an online store, that's offering a special on the slips for Mother's Day at the moment!
I think these slips will make a great gift for your mom or maybe even for bridesmaids.
2. Jo Malone, Wild Fig & Cassis Scented Candle. These candles from Jo Malone are an absolute spoil! Jo Malone is known for their luxurious scents and this candle will definitely lift any spirit. Unfortunately at R655, the price is a bit too luxurious for my pocket at the moment...no wonder it's on my Lust List, seeing as that's all the candle and I can do. Lust and be on the list.
3. Lauren Conrad's lastest book, BEAUTY. So I have a mini, well okay I'll admit a kind of huge girl crush on Lauren Conrad! This girl can do no wrong in my eyes and I religiously check in on her websites. As far as I know this book is not yet available in store in South Africa. I'm sure you can buy it online, but I suck at buying stuff online! I'll have to ask the momster to buy it for me the next time she visits the States ;)
Basically this book covers all things beauty, from picking the right foundation for your skin to exercising and maintaining a healthy diet. It's filled with tutorials and Lauren's go to beauty tips and secrets. I can't wait to get my hands on it in the near future!
4. Hunter Boots. Aaaaaah I can not express how much I want a pair of Hunter wellies!!!!!! They've been on my lust list for about two years now and needless to say they are going stay on there for a while... I did some research though and Hunter Boots (I think) are getting more affordable in SA. You can buy them on Zando or the Hunter online store.
Hunter wellies have been around since 1856 and the demand for the wellies were greatly boosted by both World Wars. Almost 2 million trench boots were made during WWI and the fashionable boot became a functional necessity. Hunter also became the trusted supplier to the Royal Households. These wellies keep feet warm and dry, from the Royal family to hard working farmers, festival-goers and hopefully in the near future mine!
5. Grace: A Memoir. We all saw Grace Coddington walking with her memoir under the arm at the 2012 fashion shows during the many fashion weeks and we all wanted to have a sneak peek at this wild red haired most personal thoughts. Finally (well for a while now) the book is available and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
If not for the 2009 hit doccie, The September Issue, Coddington might have stayed one of fashion's best kept secrets. We all fell in love with the big red haired Grace that actually had the *ahem* balls to take on Anna Wintour. The mostly camera and publicity shy Grace is finally sharing her life with us - from her days as a model to her relationship with Ms Wintour.
Now I wouldn't mind curling up with this memoir in front of the fireplace ...
6. hey gorgeous SKINCARE. So this skincare range is one of my most recent finds and a new addition to the Lust List. All the products are handmade to order with only the finest natural products. Their scrubs and bodybutters look absolutely AHmazing and the skincare range is a great local option if you're looking for natural and organic skincare.
Pop on over to their Facebook page or download their brochure to find out more about this range! They also offer gift sets that would make great prezzies for all your girlfriends on a special day or even as a late Mother's Day gift ;)
7. Vogue Sunnies. There nothing quite like a nice pair of sunglasses to make a girl feel like a princess or celebrity... you choose! Now I know I could pick a bigger luxury brand, but I try my best to kind of keep my Lust List realistic and I really like these sunnies! They're R850 and available at Sunglass Hut, pop on over there and have a look at your dream sunnies 8)
8. John Mayer's Born and Raised. John Mayer released his latest cd, Born and Raised, somewhere last year. Mayer took a two year break after having to remove 'nodes' from his vocal chords. Lo and behold Mayer he returned with a new sound... and I LOVE it! It's a mix between folk and country rock. I can just see myself lazing in the sun on a warm Sunday afternoon having a glass of wine with friends...Aaah bliss!
9. The Beige Alexa Tote @ Erato. A nice handbag is just another one of those things that makes a girl feel like a princess/celeb. I spotted this all-grown-up handbag on yet another online store, Erato. I don't think I need say a lot more about this handbag, other than that I think it's absolutely gorgeous (and I want it)!
10. Distressed Mocha Riding Boots. These beautiful boots are from the Diligo Leather Collection. Now this last item on my Lust List is a bit of a cheat seeing as I actually bought it a few days ago! I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival and I am hoping to do a blog post on it :)
Just a short note on Diligo...As of now it's my favourite online store. Why? You don't have to have a credit card to shop with them, you can do a bank transfer! Don't judge me because I don't have a credit card, just be happy that Diligo has now made it easy for us non-creditcard holders to shop online, hooray!!!
Soooo now it's time for you to tell me what's on your Lust Lists! Can't wait ;)
Untill my next beautiful finds...
