The Monday Covet List

By

Another Monday, another Covet List!

(A little background: Since I’ve decided that coveting is infinitely more agreeable than reckless spending, I was thrilled to be approached by Nadia Carriere of Child Mode to participate in the Monday Covet List. Together with some of my favorite fashion and style bloggers, Nicole Feliciano of Mom Trends, Vera Sweeney of Lady and the Blog and Audrey McClelland of Mom Generations, we’ll share 3-4 covet-worthy products that we are currently lusting over.)

Of course, I’ve realized that coming up with a covet list is way too easy because I tend to covet things all the time. This week, I’ve got the following gorgeous pieces on my mind (and perhaps favourited on my browser)…

1. Yes, I know I’ve already raved about them here. But I’m one step closer to coverting from a “covet” to a “purchase”; tomorrow, I’ll be doing a little cross-border shopping and you can bet I’ll be stocking up on hello oral care products!

“hello is a brand of seriously friendly oral care products. The line currently includes a range of 99% natural toothpastes, mouthwashes, and breath sprays in delicious flavors and beautiful packages, as well as a toothbrush made with biodegradable corn resin and recycled plastic.”

Since I last posted about my latest addiction, I officially have orders from 6 friends and family to grab them a few products each – with Mojito Mint being the most popular request. So apparently, I’ll be that crazy lady at the Target checkout with 12 tubes of toothpaste and 8 mouthwashes. It’s all good – except if I get nabbed at the border, y’all are chipping in for duty fees (you know who you are!).

2. I think I may be obsessed with these ORINGOA ankle boots from ALDO. My black skinny jeans have been longing for the perfect cool and casual complement, and with a pointed toe, side and back zipper and a sturdy 4-inch square heel, these booties have covet written all over them. $130.00

3. Marc Jacobs Nail Enamel has landed at Sephora. Now can you honestly tell me that you wouldn’t covet a row of these gorgeous polishes on your vanity or makeup bureau? Sigh. For $22.00, you’ll experience a superior polish with an unprecedented finish and the shine of 30 coats of lacquer. The custom, curve-hugging brush optimizes application and the curvature of the bottle resembles a smile.

 “Get smitten with this fresh take on nail enamel. Inspired by Marc’s highly lacquered coffee table, Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer is formulated with patented bonding agents that deliver a plasticized, wet look, while the color-rich creams and fine glitters ensure vivid, chip-resistant wear. Choose from a vast array of shades inspired by Marc’s favorite movies.” WANT!!!

    Those beautiful blue boots remind me of a pair I got in England years ago! They are gorgeous!

    Those Aldo boots are just amazing …I don’t own any bright coloured shoes but I’ve seen them on a lot of bloggers and love how they just MAKE an outfit!

    Have fun US shopping – am sending good-border-vibes your way so you can come back without any duties ;-)

    I love the idea of covet lists ;) Since becoming a mom, I covet more things for my girls than for myself! This has given me the inspiration I need to get back out there and treat myself too occasionally!!
