Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week with friends and family, and had the chance to rest and relax. I love this quiet, lazy time while the kids are home, and the chance to reflect over the past year. I like to geek out a bit and dig into the analytics of what y’all loved most, too.
Next week I’m looking back at 2018 and sharing your top posts in each of my main categories…Decor, Style, and Travel, and more! Today it’s all about the products you loved most, which funny enough, are all closet staples for me!
TEN // Cozy V-Neck Pullover My go-to top with everything from cut-offs to jeans to joggers, I have this cozy-soft pullover in several colors. I like that it’s a little sassy with a bralette, but also incredibly comfortable for travel.
Cozy V-Neck Pullover | Bralette | White Jeans | Bangle Set
NINE // Bliss Undies I’ll spare you a photo on this one…but I swear by these undies, and apparently so do you! No visible lines or wedgies…they are soft, comfortable, and actually stay put!
EIGHT // Leopard Flats & Black Jeans These two closet staples were a tie for the eighth position, and for good reason! Every outfit looks cuter with a touch of leopard, and these shoes saw more mileage than almost any other this Fall. And the black jeans? I reach for them regularly! Great mid-rise, dark rinse, no sagging or stretching!
Black Jeans | Leopard Flats | Cardigan
SEVEN // Cozy Turtleneck Tunic Clearly y’all like cozy, because this fleecey tunic was a top find, as well. I love the layered look, and wear it both in the front and back. I’ve got it in gray, black, and stripes!
Turtleneck Tunic Top | Jeggings | Slip-On Sneakers
SIX // Denim Jegging This was the biggest surprise of the countdown…not because I don’t love them (like, seriously love them!!), but because I found them this month!! So in just a few short weeks, they’ve become one of the top 10 fave finds of the entire year! And from your messages and comments, you’re just as obsessed as me!
Sidenote: Here I’m wearing them with the #10 Fleece Top…my fave for travel!
V-Neck Tunic | Jegging Jeans | Initial Necklace | Sneakers | Carry-On Suitcase | Leather Tote
FIVE // Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Cardigan There’s no surprise with this one…I’ve had a Barefoot Dreams cardigan in the reader Top 10 for the last three years!! There’s no denying how amazing, plush, soft, snuggly, and perfect they are! If I’m at home, there’s 100% chance I’m wearing it!
Scoopneck Tee | Plush Cardigan | Shawl Cardigan | Hooded Cardigan
FOUR // Miller Sandal I’ve always loved the Tory Burch Miller Sandals, but resisted buying them for years. I mean, how could a sandal be worth that price? But the moment I slipped on my first pair, I knew they were worth every penny…and I think that every single time I wear them!
They go with everything from cut-offs to dresses, and make every outfit infinitely more chic. Plus, the nude ‘makeup’ shade is incredibly leg lengthening! (I size up half) I’ve since learned that Miller fans are passionate about their sandals, and I’m right there with you!
Shirtdress (40% off!) | Sandals | Similar Straw Bag
THREE // Plunge V-Neck Swimsuit The swimsuit that converted me over to the power of a one-piece! This suit is stunningly chic and flattering, and transitions beautifully from beach to lunch by adding shorts or a skirt. (I size up one for more length, I wear a 4)
Swimsuit | Shorts | Flip-Flops | Hat
TWO // Platform Wedges Pretty much the only wedge sandal I wore all Spring and Summer, and now available in tons of new colors! It’s tall, but super easy to walk in and comfy for all-day. Plus, the nude shade is so versatile and flattering.
Jean Jacket | Similar Jumpsuit | Wedges
ONE // All things Gibson x Hi Sugarplum! The landing pages for both the Hi Sugarplum and Glam Collections were the #1 clicked links of 2018! I’m so totally blown away by your love and support for our collections, and hope you feel beautiful and confident in your GxHSP pieces! They were definitely personal and professional highlights of 2018, and it none of it is possible without YOU!!
And speaking of Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collections at Nordstrom, stay tuned for a super-exciting announcement soon!! #January
I also introduced Amazon Fashion Finds to the mix this year, and they quickly became favorite posts. Besides the amazing jeggings, your other faves were this look-alike belt, these $10 tortoise earrings, the cutest herringbone vest, and perfect skirt.
As for the non-fashion, these bedsheets and packing cubes are already reader-faves.
This miracle lash serum and Discovery Skincare Collection, were tops in the Beauty department, with my go-to eye-opening mascara and satin lip stick right behind.
It’s fun to see what items you gravitate to most, and I love that pretty much every one of these is on my own Top Ten list, too! Do you own and love any of these items? What makes your Top Ten favorite buy this year? Happy weekend, lovebugs!
Love it all!!
Remind me again of your sizes for the turtleneck tunic, cardi and jeggings ??? Might have to treat myself to some New Years goodies!!
Ooops, I overlooked including fit tips for each!!! I wear XS in all three of those!
Here’s a random question… how do you fit undies? Like, do you go by your pant size or how do you know what size to choose?
I typically go up one…I wear a small in the Bliss undies
I bought too many of your recommendations to name them all but tonight I’m rocking the KS Didi Gold earrings. The brown Steve Madden bootie has quickly become by go to and I picked up several of the jeans you blogged about during the Nordstrom sale earlier this year. I loved the sheets on Amazon so much I ordered a second set! You rock at finding the best! Thanks Cassie
Hi, I need help with my Barefoot Dreams cardigans, how do you wash & dry them? I washed them in cold on delicate setting & dried on low & they are covered in fuzz balls, tried washing a few more times & didn’t help, so spent about an hour picking off the fuzz but still looks terrible
Oh no!!! I wash and dry mine regularly and don’t have any issues??!! They aren’t as soft as they once were after years of washing, but still one of my fave things! I’d definately exchange it!
CAN’T tell you how much I LOVE the Amazon leggings. so comfortable and so thick (in a good way!!!). Bought two for myself and one for my daughter, they are perfect!
The amazon jean jeggins are you a short or regular? THanks
Hi Colleen, mine are short, but they did shrink a tad, so I’d prefer regular length (I’m 5’4″)
Hi! I see the link to your favorite Amazon bed sheets is not working anymore!? Do you have the name or the link to the sheets? Thank you!
They are Mellanni brand!
