Your Top 5 Favorites – January 2020

Last year I started a monthly series that shares your Top 5 Favorite products.  These are the things you loved the most over the course of one month.  Your most purchased, searched for and talked about.
1 and 2) Straight-leg denim

In a recent What I’m Coveting, I shared my favorite straight leg jeans.  Numbers 1 and 2 on your favorites list were these affordable and mid-range pairs.

I love the cropped length and slightly tapered leg both pairs offer.  You can easily pair them with ankle boots or flats.  I wear mine with tennis shoes all the time and they still look chic.  The wash options are endless.  Although they both are 100% cotton, they run TTS.

3) Cashmere sweater

In January I talked about the affordable cashmere brand you need to know.  They had an amazing 50% off sale, and you guys took advantage.

Besides being ethically sourced (their goats live in a protected space in Mongolia and their fleece is hand-combed), they offer great pricing.

This cropped sweater and this loungewear set were my sale scores.  I’ve worn both a ton.  The good news is that they are running another sale – 20% off two items!  Below are my picks from the sale.

4) Crossbody bag

My weekend packing list highlighted an affordable crossbody bag you guys loved.  It comes in 5 colors and is $125 – a great price for a leather handbag.  The best part is the long strap which can be carried as a crossbody or over the shoulder.  So essential while traveling or running errands!

5) White eyelet dress

This dress was a Nuuly rental score.  I ended up purchasing the short version in black, but the long version is the perfect beach vacation dress.  Pair it with a straw hat and flat, lace-up sandals this summer for an incredibly chic look.

My favorite part is that it’s super comfortable and can be worn during the day or dressed up for night.

The Summer Dress That Looks Good on Everyone

With only one more week until the official start of summer, I wanted to share a dress that I’ll be reaching for again and again in the coming months.

It’s flirty, it’s twirly, it’s cotton, it’s mini.  Basically the perfect summer staple.  You’ve seen a version of this dress before – it was one of your Top 5 Favorites in May.

Rhode Resort is a brand I discovered more than a year ago and I immediately fell hard.  Their specialty is resort wear in vibrant prints and colors.  I love that they stick to a formula – they basically do the same 5 dresses and mix up the fabric.

The Ella dress is my absolute favorite.  The proportions are spot on; 3/4 length sleeves with a mini skirt.  The fabric is breathable and comfortable – hello cotton.  And the fit couldn’t be easier.  It’s basically a tunic with a voluminous skirt.  The fact that you can cinch the waist according to your shape makes this style look good on everyone. Plus, the back is slightly longer than the front, so you don’t have to worry about it being too mini.

I dressed mine up with a statement bag and patent leather mules in a pop color, but it looks just as fabulous worn casually.  I’ve paired it with espadrille sneakers and flat leather sandals.  It would also look amazing with a western inspired bootie.

I’ve linked some of my favorite prints and colors below (majority are on sale), along with some other styles from the brand.  One of my fave retailers is having an additional 25% off the sale.  Get ’em while they’re hot!
