Top 5 Favorites – May 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 – March 2022

Clip-in BangsAnd just like that, we’re a week into April.  I’m not sure how the weather has been where you are, but we’ve had cold, rainy days followed by 90-degree heat in SoCal.  At least I get to wear all facets of my wardrobe.  Hah!

But on to your Top 5 Favorites from March 2022.

Last month my review posts got a ton of traffic.  Whether it was jeans or shoes, you wanted to know about specific brands, and those brands sold.

Here’s what you loved in March.

Clogs

I did a round-up of one of spring’s biggest shoe trends, clogs, and you guys seem to love them as much as I do.  I bought these and these (stay tuned for styled posts) and shared them on Instagram, where you helped me decide on some winners.

Sneakers

After swearing off white sneakers (unless they’re leather), I fell down the rabbit hole trying to find Adidas velcro sneakers in my size.  While my quest was futile, I did end up purchasing these, which I love.  I wear them a TON.  The off-white color gives them a unique pop and they’re comfortable enough to wear for 10 hours at Disneyland.

Princess Heels

Full disclosure, these babies run STEEP.  They’re a significant investment, but my review of the pair I purchased garnered a lot of attention.  Are they worth it?  In a nutshell, yes.  Read on for the full review.

Clip-in Bangs

My genius stylist Cheng knows I have wanted bangs for years but am too scared to take the leap.  After trying several pairs of clip-ins (and looking like Peg Bundy) she found THE perfect clip-ins for me.  Seriously the best $15 you could spend.  Check them out in all their glory here.

Straight Leg Jeans

At this point, I should probably just give these jeans a permanent spot on the list.  Yes, they are probably my favorite pair of jeans EVER.  They fit amazingly well and I’m about ready to purchase pair #3.  What do you think of them?

Top 5 Favorites – February 2022

Flannel Trousers and Flare Leg JeansI know, I know.  I just posted a Top 5 Favorites.  What can I say?  February is a short month!

Your February Top 5 was all about pants.  Jeans specifically.  The best part?  All of these jeans and trousers are at least 40% off!

Here’s what made the list.

Straight Leg Jeans

This brand is one of my favorites for jeans.  Their washes are superb and most of their styles are 100% cotton.  This pair has a super flattering cut and comes in tons of washes.

My Most Worn Straight Leg Jeans 

These jeans are in my top 3 for most worn.  I’ve owned them for years and they just keep getting better with age.  Adore them.

Flare Leg Jeans

The 90s are back and show no signs of slowing down.  These flare leg jeans are so fun, comfortable and look great with tons of shoe options.

Flannel Trousers

I feel so polished in these trousers.  They can be worn dressed up or casually (try a band tee, cardigan and sneakers).  Plus, they’re 60% off.

Loafers

These loafers were one of my best purchases of 2021.  They’re super comfortable, versatile and garner compliments every time I wear them.

Top 5 Favorites – January 2022

Top 5 Favorites Happy almost weekend!

Your Top 5 Favorites from January were a great round-up of all my favorite things.  My go-to beauty tools, fave jeans, an amazing jacket and stylish sneakers.

Here’s the list and how I styled them.

Puffer Coat

I’m in love with this puffer coat.  Read the full review here.  It’s soft, comfy and super chic.  It also comes in different colors and fabrics.

Sneakers

I wore these at Disneyland two days in a row and they are just as comfortable as my workout sneakers.  I love the off-white tone.  It adds a pop and stylish contrast that all white sneakers just don’t have.

Fave Jeans

I’ve worn these jeans to death and they just keep getting better and better.  This is Japanese denim at its finest.  The cut is perfection and well worth the investment.

Make-up Brushes

These foundation brushes are my go-to.  I love the handle-less one for travel and keeping in my purse.

Wool & Cashmere Shampoo

I’m pretty much done with dry cleaners – read why here – and prefer to launder my clothes at home.  This wool and cashmere shampoo is a must-have for all my sweaters.

Top 5 Favorites – October 2021

Flare Leg JeansOctober always feels like the longest month ever.  (Maybe because Halloween isn’t until the very last day?)  While we saw our fair share of very hot, sunny days in SoCal, we also got a decent amount of rain and fall weather.  And with that, a piqued interest in jeans.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m a denim addict, so jeans on In Spades isn’t anything new.  But your interest in fall’s denim trends was higher than ever.

Here are your Top 5 Favorites from October 2021.

Flare Leg Jeans

I adore the 70’s vibe of these jeans (and so did you).  Ultra flattering for ladies with curves, they also give definition to athletic builds.  If you’re short, not to worry – they look great hemmed too.

Wide Leg Cropped Jeans

These jeans tick all the boxes – cropped, not-too-high rise, 100% cotton and the wider leg makes them a perfect fall pair of jeans because they can be worn with tons of different boots.

Straight Leg Jeans

These jeans are one of my all-time favorite pairs.  The ankle-length cropped silhouette is super flattering.

Loafers

I adore these loafers. Super comfortable, the lug sole gives them an edgy vibe.

Perfume

I can tell holiday season is upon us because sales for this perfume skyrocketed in October.  Check out my full review of this fragrance here.
