Well, its been a while. A month in fact since I last shared my lusts for the week, during which things have undergone a massive shift-focus from sparkly festive nails and Christmas pyjamas - all of a sudden we're in the depths of the dark nights of January with no Christmas, festive cocktails or NYE to think about.. all we have to look forward to is the rest of this new year. Wow. So many possibilities ahead; many within my wardrobe. I'm already compiling my new-season wish-list (yes, really) and these beauties have caught my eye this week..
s e v e n t h o f j a n u a r y . . .
1. During December I lost my midi-virginity and I'm craving more. The longer cut allows skin-tight dresses to be flattering, sexy and subtle. This black number is a River Island bargain at a mere £22 - I can already picture it filling a void in my day-to-day wardrobe.
2. Essie Bahama Mama was a Christmas present from my Mum and in two weeks I've found myself applying it to my digits and toes three times already! The perfect dark plum shade for my already extensive black/deep red/plum nail collection.
3. A baby pink coat is probably not an essential, neither do I expect it to last the test of time - but there's something so Jil Sander I want it anyway. River Island, £80.
4. Buying a new bikini in January probably isnt essential either, but I'm sure it'll beat away any signs of the January blues.. theres always a holiday around the corner, right? The berry hue will look amazing against tan skin anyway. Justified yet? Another River Island gem, £30 for the set.
5. River Island really have upped their game already this season, four items in one Lust List? Wedge shoeboots are the perfect answer to trans-seasonal dressing and these £60 bargains have more than a hint of Alexander Wang about them.
6. MAC Glaze Lipstick in Hue was a long overdue purchase, always overshadowed at the MAC counter by brighter swatches. I'm so pleased he picked it up, its a lovely nude which suits any make-up look. I've been reaching for this daily.
7. I mightnt have an iPad, but pretty covers like this snakeskin Jimmy Choo one makes me wonder why I havent yet joined the party.
8. These pointed studded nude beauties look like Louboutins, yes? Wrong! River Island hits the spot again. For £65, not £765. Get these quickly before they go, ladies. rachelle xo
