Lustful #4

It has been a crazy week here in the Bell-Duncan household. Danny leaves for tour in less than a week and the craziness is starting to set in. So, my Lustful Fridays is turning into a one-time Lustful Sunday :) There's a definitely a new couple of things on the list though!



Since we painted our chalkboard wall, our house is looking much darker than usual. There isn't a lot of natural light that makes it's way in because of small additions that were made to the house to add storage, but in turn took away windows. This added with the dark green color our cabinets are painted in our kitchen (yuck), we've got a real problem on our hands. My summer project is to repaint and get new hardware for all of our kitchen cabinets. And also tackle taking all the rest of the wallpaper out of our house. (The map in the kitchen included.) It's a job, but I see how beautiful it looks when the cabinets are bright and just want that so badly.

 



If you all have learned anything about me in the short time we have known each other, I hope it's that I am always looking for the perfect romper. I love rompers. The ease of a dress without the hassle of accidentally flashing your panties. It's a win win. And this one, by Stone Cold Fox, is perfect. I love this brand. It flowy and easy. Very boho, but still sexy. I'm not a huge hydrangeas fan... I'm more of an orchid girl, but this print is the right amount girly and fun. In fact, I'll go ahead and take this romper in the solid colors too!

 



I finally found my mermaid fin! I need this so much.

 



 

Mara Hoffman can do no wrong and this dress is just further proof. I buy a lot of her pieces that we get in at Shore. This is one, unfortunately, didn't make it to our store and I'm a little butthurt about it :(

 



I am not a big jewelry wearer. I love a ton of bracelets, but usually shy away from rings, necklaces and earrings. I'm just a simple girl I guess. But this necklace pretty much changes my mind. I love how summery this is and it's pretty much a mermaid necklace for sure!

There's always more things to want, but more than anything I want to put some time into this, and really start developing more videos on my channel while Danny is gone. We will be vlogging all the way through these summer tours, but I figure a little double dose of Linds some days won't hurt! Talk to you all soon!

Much Love,

Lindsey

My only wish for this Friday is for this guy to have the best birthday ever! Back with new posts and exciting new adventures next week!

 

Aloha xo,

Lustful Fridays #2

Fridays are my new favorite. At Shore, I am officially stepping down as a floor manager and moving away from managing the store. I have been being pulled in a lot of directions, but will now be concentrating just on the swimsuit buy and merchandising. I am most excited to be just doing the creative side of my job, but also am excited because I get a real work week! I'll have most Saturdays and Sundays off, no more late nights there until 11PM, and feel like a real grown adult. I think this calls for a celebration.

Another reason Fridays are my favorite day of the week is because of my Lustful Fridays posts. Who doesn't love looking at all of their favorite things for the week? So we will keep the tradition going with some of my new favorite things.



These shorts are perfect for summer. I am loving bright, printed shorts mixed with a flowy tee right now. I mean I have always loved it because of comfort, but now I feel like there are so many awesome printed shorts to choose from, there's something for everyone. I've also been dressing them up a lot lately by either adding a casual wedge, a fun bootie, or dressier sandal. These are only $14.50 so I'm pretty sure they'll be in my closet in no time.



I am obsessed with Mikoh swim. We just started carrying this line at Shore and it has been an absolute hit. The material is from Indonesia and is the softest swim fabric I have ever felt. Don't let it's softness fool you though. The pieces are expertly crafted and can accentuate all of your positives, while not causing any unwanted bulging in your not so positive spots. The lines of this suit are so fun and sporty. Perfect for a paddleboard date. The problem though... the tan lines will be really silly. And at $100+ per piece do I really need another swimsuit and I have to have an occasion to wear it for?



I really love the look of crop tops with high waisted matching skirts. It's a great look for almost anyone. You just have to make sure you get the right fit so both pieces hit you at your smallest point. This can make it difficult finding a set that flatters you, but makes it fun when you finally find the right one. I love that these pieces are knitted, and even more, I love the open back detail. I would wear the crap out of this. Unfortunately though, I found this image on Pinterest and there is absolutely no information about the designer what so ever. We may never know where to find this little gem.



Valentino Rockstuds... You pricey little bastards, GET IN MY CLOSET. These little stinkers have been taunting me with their awesomeness for over a year now. It's pretty clear after seeing my obsession with the Alexander Wang bag last week, my boyfriend and now these Valentino's, I'm into studs. (Get it?) All jokes aside, the nudeness of these shoes, the pointy toe, and the studs for a little punk rock in your life... I love it all. Just like my Wang bag though, these would be a purchase that would pretty much drain my checking account for a few weeks or at the very least put me on a no buying anything else for 6 months regimen... That doesn't mean that Danny shouldn't buy them for our anniversary though.



POUFS! I love these. I want like 5 of them spread throughout my house so we have extra seating just in case. Poufs are the best.



And last but not least, I feel like I have been thinking a lot about getting another pup. It's not a great time right now because we are planning so much traveling in the next year, and that's not really fair to leave another dog with my parents so much. But every time I see a picture of a Frenchie I get all befuddled. At just about double the cost of my rockstuds initially, and then the monthly cost of the a small child, I would say this is hands down the most expensive item on the list. But definitely worth every dang penny. LOOK AT THAT FACE?!?!?
