Top 5 Favorites – September 2020

Wow, last month flew by.

While it’s pumpkin season, the temps in SoCal are anything but crisp.  I’m so ready for the heat to end.  Bring on sweater weather!

Your Top 5 Favorites for September included a new discovery that I love and some tried and true classics.

Tinted Moisturizer

This is a new beauty discovery that I adore.  Why?

1. It could easily replace my foundation (the coverage is THAT good).

2. It looks and feels like you’re not wearing anything at all.  I LOVE that.  Super breathable and comfortable to wear.

3. It’s green beauty.

4. It can be found at Target!  And it’s under $30!

High Waist Jeans

There are TONS of reviews about these jeans.  They absolutely have a cult following.  Are they worth it?  100%

Despite confusing reviews, they absolutely look good on every body.   I wrote a full breakdown here with sizing info, fit tips and styling how-to’s.

High Waist Bikini

This high waist bikini is the hero bathing suit of the summer.  And for good reason.  No matter your body type, this silhouette is super flattering.  Short ladies get their legs elongated, curvy ladies show off their assets while still getting ample support, and long and lean bodies benefit from definition.

I have it in red and wear a Small in both the top and bottom.  I’d say it runs TTS, but if you’re in between sizes, size up.

Hair Ties

I’ve mentioned these hair ties in blog posts and on Instagram.  They will change your life.  They never lose their shape/hold and are super comfortable to wear.  No ripped or tangled hair with these.

Comfiest Bra Ever

I think this bra should just have a standing position on this list because it comes back as your favorite month after month.  I stocked up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  This is the ONLY bra I wear.

Top 5 Favorites – August 2020

And just like that September is half over!  I totally forgot to post Your Top 5 Favorites from last month.  I love this series because your favorites always tend to be items with fantastic cost-per-wear.

Your Top 5 Favorites from August

I decided to clean out my pajama drawer and start fresh.  Two of the sets I purchased made your favorites list in August.

First, these fun zebra pjs.

I ADORE this brand.  These pajamas are incredibly comfortable and they’re made from organic cotton.  They make men’s, women’s, kids and even pet jammies!

I will absolutely be purchasing another pair.  Check out their short sleeve and shorts set for a summer pj.

These washable silk pajamas also topped the list.

I tried these on years ago in New York and waited to pull the trigger until now.  Yes, you do have to let them air dry after putting them in the washing machine, but they are SO worth it.

I love the slit on the legs (so comfy for sleeping).  The cami is double lined in the bust and could easily be worn with jeans and blazer for a super chic look.

Do yourself a favor and get them.  You won’t regret it.

Comfiest bra ever.


This bra has made your Top 5 Favorites list 4 times.  And with good reason.  It’s the most comfortable bra ever.  Enough said.

I own the racerback version and the normal version.  Get several of them and never wear another bra.

Hair Ties

One of my best Amazon purchases of ALL TIME.  They don’t stretch out.  They don’t pinch, pull or rip your hair.  They’re totally seamless.

Best $10 you’ll ever spend.

High Waisted Bikini


I hadn’t refreshed my swimwear collection since before having a baby (minus a couple one-pieces after she was born).

This bikini is super flattering thanks to the sexy, yet supportive top, and it has great support in the high waist bottoms.  It comes in 9 colors (4 of which are on sale).

Trust me when I say I loathe wearing bathing suits and this one makes me feel happy and confident.
