Top 5 Favorites – June 2021

Top 5 Favorites June 2021 We all have summer on the brain.  Your Top 5 Favorites for June were like the perfect summer day.  Beach time in the morning followed by a night out!
Mini Dress

I adore this dress and snagged it on sale.  It also comes in pink, yellow and white.  Not gonna lie – I will probably get another color.

One piece bathing suit

This beauty comes in pink and black and looks SO good on.  I have hips and a booty but have honestly never felt more comfortable in a one piece than I have in this one.  The high-cut leg is so flattering – try it – I promise you’ll love it!

Bikini (top and bottom)

This wins the award for most comfortable bikini EVER.  It’s super chic (also comes in red), the cheeky bottoms aren’t too cheeky and the top is perfect for active water sports or if you have kids.

Sandals

These are SO comfortable.  And they’ve taken a beating.  I wear them to the beach (in the ocean, oops!), to run errands and even walking around the San Diego Zoo all day.  They come in 7 colors and run TTS.

Straight leg jeans

Cue the perma-spot music for these jeans.  They’ve made your Top 5 countless times and rightly so.  They run TTS and come in multiple washes.  I like this light wash for summer.

Top 5 Favorites May 2021

Everlane Slim Leg PantsWearing your May 2021 Top 5 Favorite straight leg pants

Summer is just around the corner and there are some amazing designer sales to shop.

Let’s see what your top picks were from last month.  Hint, they include my fave tee and a great gift idea.

The Best T-shirt

This tee is the perfect weight, lasts forever and has a great broken-in look.  It runs TTS and I own it in 4 colors.

Currently on sale for less than $20!

The Best Tank Top

Another amazing deal and great basic.  It comes in 18 colors and runs TTS, but if you are in between sizes, size up.

It’s only $8!

The Best Straight Leg Pants

These pants are so comfortable and flattering.  They come in 6 colors (2 of which are on sale) and run TTS.

Childhood Journal

I recently bought this to pick up where my baby journal left off.  I love that there’s a section for photos and blank pages for you to add what you want.  The information is bite-sized, so you don’t feel overwhelmed or pressured to document every tiny detail.

It would make a great gift for a mom-to-be.  Once your child turns 18 you gift it to them. 🙂

It’s available via Amazon Prime.

Matted Frame

This was honestly the best $18 I ever spent.  Super high quality and it looks identical to the much more expensive Framebridge one I own.

It comes in black and white and multiple sizes.

Top 5 Favorites – April 2021

In April I shared some recent summer finds and my go-to loungewear on the blog and Instagram.  Here are the Top 5 Favorites you loved last month.

Lounge leggings

These have made the list before, but I think it was my Insta Story about what the fabric looks like up close that people loved.  I compared them to the Lululemon Align Pant, and let me just say, the difference is staggering.

Bonus points: this color is currently 40% off!

Sweatpants

I discovered these this year and have purchased 3 pairs total.  I love them THAT much.  They are super soft and comfy and have enough structure to look chic and never dumpy.  The fabric is the perfect weight to wear year-round and not be see-through.

Sizing – they run small.  I own them in a size small for a fitted look and a size medium for a more relaxed, loungey look.

Bonus points: all of these colors are on sale!

Summer Dress

This balloon-sleeved dress is super cute and comes in 3 colors.  I have it in red.  I love that it’s cotton so you can wash it!

Summer sandals

Another amazingly comfortable find, I adore these sandals.  They are leather yet survived a dip in the ocean.  They run TTS and come in 5 colors.

Skinny/straight jeans

I think these just need a permanent spot on the list because they are back again!  Score them for $44 like I always do by keeping up to date on the sales (simply click the “Get Sale Alert” hearts above).

 

Top 5 Favorites – March 2021

Top 5 Favorites March 2021Between Daylight Savings Time, spring break and warmer weather, March was action-packed.  I shared a ton of denim, as well as comfy lounge sets I’m loving… and you loved them too.

Here are your Top 5 Favorites from March 2021.

Floral Dress

This dress received a massive amount of traffic, but it was this one that you purchased.  It’s now sold out, but check out this one.  I’m loving the applique detail for spring.

Lounge Set

I discovered this brand during the pandemic and fell in love with the super soft material.  I picked up this set and already have my eyes on another.  For all of the loungewear I’ve purchased in the last year, this is by far the best.  Stay tuned for a full review!

Pro tip: size up. They run small.

Wide Leg Jeans

Wide leg jeans are having a moment and I, for one, love the comeback.  I shared these and you told me you loved the wash – I’m sold too.

Pro tip: this style is flattering on all body types, but especially pear-shaped ladies.  Go for a cropped style for maximum versatility.

501 Skinny Jeans

I’ve talked about these a ton, and they are well worth the hype.  Regularly $98, I’ve scored my last two pairs for $43 thanks to sales.

They’re super flattering and comfortable.  Cool washes keep getting released, hence my growing collection.

Pro tip: go for the 100% cotton styles.  They look like vintage denim.  Run TTS or size up if in between sizes.

Tapered Jeans

If you missed my 3 Spring Denim trends Reel, you know why this pair of jeans made another appearance.  The tapered leg is on trend and so flattering.

Top 5 Favorites – February 2021

I love a crowd that loves denim as much as I do.  And based on your Top 5 Favorites from February, that is certainly the case.

Here’s what you loved the most in the month of love. 😉

Levi’s x Target

You guys loved this collection as much as I did.  Your faves?  This platter, the bar cart and these mugs.  It debuted February 28 and is only here for a limited time.  Prices range from $3 to $150 – act fast!

Layering Fragrance 

I received a sample of this and was immediately hooked.  It can be worn alone or layered on top of your favorite fragrance to enhance the scent and mix it up.

It’s super long-lasting and should honestly be much, much more expensive for the quality.  For under $100, this is a beauty cabinet must in my book.

The Best Skinny/Straight jeans under $100

I wrote about spring denin trends and these are definitely on the list.  My advice – go for the 100% cotton version (they also come with stretch).  They run TTS. If in between sizes, go up.

The Best Lounge Leggings

I now own these in 3 colors.  They are SUPER comfy, don’t pill or stretch out and also work great for all kinds of exercise.

Combat Boots

This post on how to find the best vintage Dr. Marten’s is one of my most popular.  With the rise of combat boots’ popularity, it’s no wonder I see a lot of traffic to this post each month.
