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.

Fashion Favorites: November & December 2019

Levi's x Star WarsWith the end of the year being a total whirlwind, I forgot to share your favorite products from November and December 2019.

I did manage to post one Holiday Gift Guide, and while you loved this kid’s play mat, this stylish iphone charging bracelet and these slippers, I’m going to focus on the tried-and-true fashion pieces for today’s post.

Here are your fashion favorites from everything I posted on the blog and my social channels in November and December 2019!

Your Top 6 Fashion Favorites – Nov & Dec 2019

1. Plaid dress – this was my most worn item from my experience with Nuuly.  The silhouette is so flattering and comfortable.  I wore it during the day with loafers and at night with heels.  It will easily transition from winter (throw on a leather jacket and boots) to spring (opt for a straw hat and black sandals).

2. Rhinestone sunglasses – these babies are a Gucci knockoff.  For only $15, I like to say it’s the best $15 I’ve ever spent.  Super stylish and fun, you can’t help but feel like a rockstar in them.

3. Black booties – these are an investment, but SO worth it.  The insoles have a memory foam cushion so the comfort level is top-notch.  They also come in burgundy.  The slip-on style is effortless and chic.

4. Levi’s Star Wars collab – If you’re new here, I’m a huge Star Wars fan.  I’m also a huge Levi’s fan.  So this was a match made in heaven.  These straight leg cropped jeans with a galaxy print are so cool (size up).  Bonus points that the collection is now on sale!

5. Leather leggings – another investment item, but a total closet staple.  You will have these for LIFE.  I originally shared my review of them here, but multiple retailers have them on sale, which made them a favorite in December.  Looking for faux leather?  Try these or these.

6. White eyelet dress – this beauty would be perfect for a beach vacation.  Substantial cotton makes it appropriate for day or night and it’s stunning in person.  I rented it via Nuuly and got tons of compliments on it.  Runs TTS.  Looking for something more affordable?  Try this one from the same brand.

Your Top 5 Favorites – June 2019

You guys certainly had dresses on the brain in June!

Three of your Top 5 Favorites from June 2019 were summer dresses.

First up…

Rhode Resort Ella Dress cactus print

1) Summer dress

This flirty mini dress was hands down your favorite in June.  I love the fact that it truly flatters all body types and comes in a myriad of colors and patterns.

The braided belt gives definition to the waistline and the cotton fabric keeps it comfortable.  With a longer hem in the back, you don’t have to worry about it being too short.  Plus, the skirt is super fun to twirl in.

Wear it with sneakers for a casual chic look, or heeled sandals in a fun color to amp it up.

SHOP ALTERNATE COLORS

Isabel Marant Jaeryn Buckle Sandals

2) Sandals

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I do a Sunday Series of noteworthy products.  These black sandals were the first time a product from the video series made the list, and for good reason.

They are suuuuper comfortable and have a bit of an edge to your basic black sandal.  Both the heel strap and the ankle strap are adjustable.  Currently 60% off, you have to pounce on this deal if your size is left.

If you’re looking for an alternate version, try these.  Also featured on the blog here.

SHOP SANDALS

Joie Galani Floral Dress

3) Floral dress

I tried this dress on back in April and didn’t buy it until a recent vacation to Maui.  I’m so glad I got it and even more glad I waited.  It’s 50% off and available in sizes XXS – XL.

It’s 100% cotton and double lined so the quality is fabulous and comfortable.  I love the fabric buttons on the neckline and the billowy sleeves.

4) White eyelet dress

You guys responded so well to my first “Save vs. Splurge” series post (stay tuned for a new one soon!) that I wasn’t surprised it made your top 5 favorites in June.

A white eyelet dress is a summer staple, and the wrap closure makes this one so easy to wear and super flattering.  It’s almost sold out, but I linked similar options – including the navy version – below.

Linen blazer

5) Linen blazer

Last but not least, this linen blazer struck your fancy in June.

I love how lightweight it is – the perfect summer layering piece.  It comes in 3 colors and a very similar version offers it in 5 different colors.  I just may have to pick up another.
