This week I really couldn’t decide which brand(s)
I was lusting after more. I had a third brand but you know I’m all about
visuals and I didn’t like how it looked next to these beauties. First up is
Sophia Webster…

The Lust…..
I really loved many of the shoes in Sophia’s
collection but this one in particular, the MILA, called to me. What actually caught my eye
and drove me to the brand was a picture I saw on IG of a Mommy & Me
matching pair of shoes…
Currently there aren’t any children’s or “Mini”
shoes available on the U.S. site but hopefully these IG posts mean they are in
the works.
The other brand that caught my eye this week is
Helmer and this is what did it…
About…Helmer
The HELMER brand is inspired and influenced by the
various cultures and destinations the family has visited throughout numerous
voyages. Their passion for travel and constant search of cultural novelty is
the cornerstone for creating a handbag and accessory collection that would
embrace craftsmanship, whilst offering a perfect balance between style,
functionality, practicality and a fashionable insight into various cultures. For

The Lust…..
What attracted me so much
to this bag is the vibrancy of the red. It also comes in three other colors
(blue, orange, ivory) but there was just something about this red. It retails
for $705 which is also why it’s a lust
for this week.
