Top 5 Favorites – May 2022

June 6, 2022

ReDone Stovepipe JeansHere are your Top 5 Favorites from May 2022.
Little White Dress

This dress is so much fun. The puff sleeves make such a statement.  Plus, the trapeze silhouette and 100% cotton fabric make it so comfortable to wear.  It also comes in a longer version and other colors, which I have linked below.

Clogs

I’ve been sharing a lot of clogs as of late, and these two pairs have been your most purchased.  I love clogs for their incredible versatility.  You’ll be able to easily transition these from summer to fall.

Jeans

These stovepipe jeans were among your most purchased last month.  The denim is super soft and lightweight, which is perfect for summer.  I have the faded black, but the jet black is 30% off right now.

You also purchased a lot of my two sister favorites – these designer straight legs and these affordable straight legs.

Initial Necklace

I wrote a post with my favorite initial necklaces and last month it surged in popularity.  If you don’t own an initial necklace, I highly recommend them (for yourself and as a gift).  With graduation coming up, an initial necklace would make an awesome personalized gift.

Statement Mules

So many people are curious about this brand, and my review of their statement mules got a lot of traffic last month.  I love mine.  You can read my full review here.

Top 5 Favorites April 2019

May 2, 2019

New series alert!

To help answer your styling questions and give you more of what you want to see, I’m introducing a new series on In Spades.  Each month I’ll be recapping your Top 5 Favorites.  These are the products you purchased, clicked on, and asked about the most.

First up, April 2019!

It’s no surprise you had warm weather on the brain, as your Top 5 Favorites for April were all great basics meant to be worn outside.

Top 5 Favorite Products April 2019

1. The Great Slim Tee – This is hands-down my favorite t-shirt ever.  Super comfortable, impeccably well made with a flattering fit.  It comes in a myriad of colors – you can see my striped version here – and is truly worth the price.  You will have this for at least 5 years before you even think of replacing it.

2. Large Initial Necklace – Initial necklaces are all the rage – see my round-up of the Best Initial Necklaces here – but this one took the cake.  People love the super-size and bamboo texture.  My version is the original, which is no longer available, but this one is less than $15 and an exact replica.  Total no-brainer.

3. Golden Goose sneakers – The number one question I get asked about these sneakers is if they’re worth the hype?  The first time I saw them in person I was way more impressed than I thought I’d be.  There’s something about these sneakers that just screams cool.  The shape and style are amazing – they truly look good with everything.  You could wear them with an evening gown and people would call you an It Girl.

Are they expensive?  Yes.  But if you’re going to spend money on a pair of shoes, your money couldn’t be better spent than on versatile sneakers that you can wear with everything.  Too often we splurge on fancy items.  Think of it in terms of cost-per-wear.  Does it make more sense to spend $500 on a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos that you’ll wear once a month or on these sneakers that you can wear every day?

4. High Rise Denim Shorts – Everyone needs a good pair of denim cutoffs for summer and these are the most flattering style I’ve tried.  They run TTS, and hit right at your belly button.  I love that they are slightly longer than your average cutoffs.  There is no worry of showing too much or having these completely disappear the moment you sit down.  Another thing I love about this particular pair is the wash.  It’s the perfect lived-in, effortless hue.

5. Celine sunglasses – Another item that I fully recommend investing in if you’ve been considering a pair.  This square cat eye frame is just the right touch of glamorous, edgy and suitable for every day.  See how I style mine here.  I adore Celine sunglasses to the point it’s almost creepy.  There truly is no other brand that looks as good or as chic on every face shape.  They just make you an instant stylish badass.  SOLD.

The Best Initial Necklaces

I’ve always been a fan of personalized jewelry.  Whether it’s my astrological sign or initials, anything that includes a personal touch is a must in my style book.  With the birth of my daughter, this sentiment only intensified.  Anything I could get my hands on needed to bear her moniker and likeness.  I engraved pieces, cast her footprint into a necklace and even custom designed a ring with her birthstone.  While the custom stuff is amazing and super special, it’s definitely on another level in terms of price and how often you wear it (I still break out my stunner pieces every day, but know that’s not for everyone).

Dainty initial jewelry has been trending for years and rightly so.  Having a personal touch that you can wear every day is like a signature scent – a style calling card if you will.

There are so many awesome jewelry makers that specialize in initial pieces, but one of the originals is Helen Ficalora.  I first remember seeing her pendant initial necklace on Katie Holmes – she rocked an “S” after the birth of Suri Cruise.

I’m rocking my own Helen Ficalora initial necklace today – an “E” for my daughter – and will definitely be adding more pieces to my collection.  The brand carries everything from initials to charms (I definitely need this evil eye).  There are hundreds of options and I love that you can layer charms together for a truly personalized look.

If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on your own initial necklace, here are my favorites.

Helen Ficalora

Classic, interchangeable charms in a myriad of options (jeweled or engraved).

Maya Brenner

I love the short chain and how the initials are displayed on the side instead of at the bottom of each necklace (hint: if you buy from this retailer you can earn up to a $500 gift card right now).

Celine

This pendant is in-your-face and gorgeous.  The jumbo size makes such a statement.  While my version is no longer available, this dupe for under $15 is a no-brainer.

ZOË CHICCO

There are so many options in their lineup, but I love this uber tiny pendant.  With adjustable lengths and 3 finishes to choose from, this is a never-take-it-off find.

Maje

With an almost disco-era feel thanks to the engraved lines and added jewel, this is my favorite funky yet chic option.

Parpala Jewelry

With up to 8 letters to customize, you can go with one initial or your entire moniker.  I love how the letters hang from the dainty chain.
