As I reflect back on this past year, I thought it would a super fun idea to bring you my best purchases of 2017! You all know I love to shop, and some items I have purchased over this past year have become staples in my closet and I just can’t live without them. So here it goes!

Kate Spade Leopard Shoes
These shoes are like butter on your feet! I remember ordering them on a whim. I though they were super cute, but I wan’t thrilled about the price. And then when I got them in the mail and slide my foot into them, I was hooked! These are seriously the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. I wore them just about every day in the Fall and I plan to pull them back out again in the Spring (it’s a little chilly for them right now!). Shop them here.

Norstrom PJ’s
I ended up buying this short sleeve/short pj set over the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale back in July and wore them ALL the time. And once the weather cooled down, I knew I needed a pair of the long sleeved version as well. The material on these pj’s is so soft, making them uber comfortable to wear to bed and lounge around in. One of best features about these, especially the short set, is that they do not run small. I always have such a hard time finding pj short sets that actually fit. They are always too tight or too short. And when you are on vacation or around other people, you want something with a little more coverage. They also do not shrink in the washer, which is amazing. I always buy pj’s and they end up two sizes too small and too short but these have held their original shape! Shop the short set here and long sleeve set here.

Madewell Jeans
Lately, I have had a big obsession with everything Madewell, especially their denim. My only regret is not trying them on sooner. You can read more about them in this post, but the fit of them is perfection. They hug your curves and fit in all the right places. But they don’t have the designer price tag. Their jeans start at $125 and go up from there. Be on the lookout because I got mine on sale! I’m actually beginning to like them better than some of my pricier jeans! Shop them here.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
Over the years, I have never been loyal to any mascara. I always liked to change it up and experimented with new ones from high end to ones from the drug store. I hated the Diorshow and had a really bad allergic reaction to the scent in the formula. So be careful if you are sensitive like me! That is until I found this mascara. And I haven’t looked back since. It not only lengthens your lashes but plumps them up. I notice them looking longer and fuller and so lushes! It’s defiantly on the higher end in terms of price, but this is one splurge you won’t regret. I recommend trying out the mini size version first to make sure you like it! Shop it here.
Ugg Socks
I just recently got these as a gift for a friend and also decided to get myself a pair because they looked so cozy. And I pretty much haven’t taken them off since I got them! My feet stay nice and toasty warm! I love to wear them around the house and they are the first things I put on when I get home from work. This may sound weird, but your feet stay really warm, but my feet never sweat like they do in Ugg boots. It must be a different material, but it is still amazing! I know I will be living in these this winter. Shop them here.

Citizens of Humanity Jeans
You should all know by now that I am a jeans girl and these white ones by Citizens of Humanity are my all time favorite. I wore them all summer long and also a lot in the Fall too. This pair is the crop version and they hit at the perfect length to wear with wedges in the Summer or booties in the Fall. After falling in love with this pair, I also bought this pair and this pair. A girl likes what she likes! It’s also worth mentioning that these jeans are defiantly a splurge, but they are so worth it! I wear them every chance I get and know that because they are crafted and fit so nicely, I will wear them for years! Shop them here.
Ted Baker Heels
I can’t tell more good things about this pair of shoes. Although they are very bold, I want to wear them every chance I get. They immediately dress up any outfit and make for the perfect heel this time of year. And every time I wear them, I ogle at my feet and how gorgeous they look! Seems weird, but try them on and you will see what I am talking about! I wore them to a wedding (you can see them in this Instagram post) and not only did they look beautiful, but they were so comfortable to wear! I was shocked because usually you can’t have your cake and eat it too 🙂 Anyways, they have already come out with a white pair and a beautiful floral print for Spring. Shop them here.

Abercrombie & Fitch Sweater
If I had to make an educated guess, it would be that Abercrombie & Fitch is finally making a comeback! Bloggers from all over post almost daily about this fleece jacket (I own the grey and it does live up to all the hype!). But what I am really loving this year are their sweaters. All Christmas season they had crazy good sales, so I decided to snag this sweater. And let me tell you, it’s defiantly one that I throw on all the time. It’s heavy without being bulky, still classic but in a more updated way and you really can’t beat the price!! I decided to size up to a medium for reference (I typically wear a small or x-small), but wanted a more oversized fit in this one. Shop it here.

Hydroflask Water Bottle
I bought this water bottle after getting frustrated all the time that my previous one would leak and sweat. I was always wiping down the outside of it and it was kind of gross. It drove me nuts! And it was plastic and I know I really shouldn’t be drinking from something that with material. So, I decided to take the plunge and order it and I haven’t turned back since. It keeps your water very cold! I fill it up with ice in the morning and that same ice lasts me all day which is crazy to me. I also like the spout on this style because it is easier to drink from. Another feature that I like is that it is 32 oz, which means I know I need to drink at least two of these every day to get in my water intake. Simple as that! They also have this smaller version which is a little less expensive. Shop it here.
Thank you to everyone for reading and supporting Cashmere & Jeans this year. I have truly appreciated all of the comments, love and suggestions along the way! Happy Near Year!!
