I love doing this type of post because I want to show everyone that you don’t have to spend the big bucks to get great looking items! Here are my picks for the month! Since I just recently got a Chanel purse, I thought I’d show you ladies that you can get a similar bag at a fraction of the cost!
LUST MUST
Chanel’s iconic quilted look with chain link straps have been imitated by many designers and cheapie brands. If you like the “Chanel” look but don’t want to fork over thousands of dollars, then there are many other great alternatives. This Marc Jacob’s is so similar, I had to do a double take when I saw it online! It has the same quilted appeal and chain link straps. And this time, you are not giving up quality either and for a fraction of the price of the Chanel!
LUST MUST
Since it’s Summer, white jeans seems to be popular right now. J Brand jeans are petite friendly with maybe a tiny bit of alterations in the waist and hem. At over 1/2 of the price, Delia jeans are so affordable and the best part is that it comes in all lengths- 26, 28, 30 and up! Perfect for tiny petites!
LUST MUST
I don’t wear flats very often but if I do, it has to be super cute and these flower sandals are to die for! Love the whole flower look, it makes the sandal more feminine for me to wear if I am forced to wear flats:)
LUST MUST
I love love love yellow bikini’s – especially with ruffles! Yellow is so perfect against tan skin and it just pops on the beach! It’s truly unbelievable how close these two bikinis are and the difference in price is AMAZING! VIX swimwear is really high quality (and is petite friendly- fits tiny butts), have one white bikini that has lasted me for years. The Xhilaration bikini is so cute, I actually have tried this one on and it is darling!
That’s all from me! Hope everyone is having a great week! I would love to hear some of your LUST items!!!
Oh I love these posts! Keep them coming! I didn't know Delia's had all those lengths, I'll have to browse their pant selection.
I know sometimes there's just no substitute for the "lust" item.. like when it comes to purses and sunglasses, but for clothing and shoes there are definitely some good cheaper alternatives out there!
My lust items right now are designer purses and shoes… but I just can't justify spending so much, especially when I feel like I would be a "poser" b/c I don't actually have that upper class lifestyle and salary to back it up :
great comparisons! you are so lucky to get a to-die-for chanel 🙂 i think i'm just lusting after random items that aren't even that expensive, like scallop hem shorts and black and white oxford shoes xD
love ur lust/must feature! wow, the marc jacobs bag looks really similar and more than half the price of a chanel! i've been craving for a pair of white skinnies, but still on the prowl lol hope u had a great 4th of july:)

Great post! Sometimes people still want to spend money on lust items because they make them feel good 🙂
ohh thanks for the bathing suit pick! that yellow is really cute & i like the ruffles and the skirted bottom–so feminine. need to look for it!
ohhh hey I was thinking of getting that marc jacobs LOL! but I think I'd rather save up for the chanel, I mean, it is chanel and it is timeless and all… haha I'm such a snob when it comes to purses
great post. i love the yellow ruffly bikini

i think the target bikini is cuter than the lust one even 🙂
thank you <3 ! my hair turns red in the sunlight though it shows up as brown inside o_O last time i dyed it i used revlon colorsilk in golden medium brown. before that i used same dye in chocolate brown and before that in light auburn xD i guess once you go red it's really hard to get it out!
Wow! Great job finding more affordable versions of some great items. Those are some impressive shopping/research skills you have there!
I have both the Chanel and Marc Jacobs! MJ is great for everyday i-don't-care-what-happens-to-it wear.
I LOVE Vix bikinis!!!! I pretty much love all brazilian bikini brands. You're right. Their fabric quality is phenomenal!
