Because then you can Lyst things – meaning create a wants/love wishlist of your own, and if those items go on sale you get a notification. For a girl who only shops sales, like myself, it’s perfect.

But what I’m really enjoying above and beyond all this, are the e-newsletters I receive. There’s always fun articles and ideas and interesting education pieces about social media or fashion.  I often find myself intrigued by the articles they have, and spend just as much time reading on the site, as I do shopping. I love that it’s so much more than a shop, you know?

Anyway, I said I spent a lot of time on the site, and man was I loving so many things. I’m actually going back there to make my Christmas/Birthday wishlist to spend my present money on later in December. But first, I’ve been dreaming of a jacket like this one forever – and of course I could easily search their site and find this absolutely perfect one.  Can we just stop for a moment and squeal ‘FRIIIIIINGE’ at the top of our lungs? Please? Thank you.

There was this moment when I opened the package, it’s like I met my sartorial soulmate. We just get each other, you know?  The jacket, she understands me and sings soothing lullabies to me *okay, I’m not actually hallucinating my jacket singing to me – it’s a hyperbole for dramatic effect*

And this dress, okay we’re not soulmates, ’cause right now I’m smitten with the jacket, but we’re very much in love. I loved that Lyst has things in every single budget – from haute couture, to hot but much more affordable. I found this dress by just quickly narrowing the search parameters in terms of price and size *but when I say quickly, I mean not so much – they have a lot of great pieces and I found like thirty things I would love to have*

I have to say, Lyst is pretty freakin’ cool. I can definitely get behind all their fun articles….and of course the pretty pretty things.
