My 2018 Year in Review

all white outfit

Welcome to 2019! Can you believe it?!  Today I thought it could kind of fun to look back at this past year and do a little recap on what everyone liked reading and shopping for this year on Cashmere & Jeans.  And in case you missed  any of my popular posts, you can catch up on them!  Any other ideas you would like to see this year?  Leave your suggestions in the comments!

After looking thru everything, it’s pretty obvious you like to read about our infertility journey, which I plan on expanding on more this year.  I have a post coming soon- it’s just a matter of getting it together because they take a lot of energy and time to get everything together for those posts!  And you guys really liked reading the couple of try on sessions I did this year- so plan on more of those to come.

My Top 5 Purchases

Prada Galleria Saffiano tote

1.Prada bag

Shop it here and read my review here

…

I saved and saved and saved some more for this beautiful bag (read more about how I save for my splurge purchases here).  And I’m so happy with the bag I finally decided on!  I use it all the time and I know in the long run I made a wise investment.

 

Nordstrom Anniversary sale

2. Barefoot Dreams blanket

Shop it here and last seen in this post here

…

Is it weird that I am obsessed with a blanket?!  I bought this one at the Nordstrom anniversary sale and Kurt ended up stealing it from me.  He claims its the only thing he can sleep with at night.  So I let him take it because he doesn’t always get the best nights sleep.  I ended up buying this one at Nordstrom Rack, but we now use it to lay across the couch so Addie’s feet don’t dirty up the couch.  And now I’m back to square one without a blanket!  So I’m on the hunt for one for myself!  But I might just wait until next years Nordstrom anniversary sale so I can get a good deal.  They are really that good and well worth the price.  I thought it was ridiculous to spend that much on a blanket, but they are so so comfy!

 

Golden Goose sneakers

3. Golden Goose sneakers

Shop mine here

…

It took me a while to jump on the bandwagon, but now I’m completely hooked!  I wear mine so much that I decided to buy myself another pair for my birthday this year (I got a pair of the high tops!).  And not only are they super cute, but they are incredibly comfy.  I wore mine everyday while we were in Charleston where we did a ton of walking each day and I had no issues at all.  My feet weren’t even sore!  While Kurt was complaining the whole time about his feet hurting- mine were just fine!  I plan on doing a review post on these sneakers soon, so stay tuned.

4. Investing in skin care

Original post here

…

It was about a year ago that I really started trying and testing out new products for my skin.  And a year later I’m so happy with where my skin is at.  Occasionally I do still have breakouts, but my skin is in much better shape than it was a year ago.  I will probably always be adding and trying new out new products because that’s just what I do, but right now I’m happy with how far my skin has changed after finding the right products to use.

5. Our new couch

Shop it here and last seen in this post here

…

This was a very rash decision that Kurt and I made.  Our last couch was so hard to keep clean with all of our animals shedding all the time.  And we just couldn’t take it anymore!  We had been talking about getting a new one, but were never really that serious about it.  One day we just decided we had enough.  So we went to ONE store and picked out the one we ended up buying.  It took a couple of months to come in and when we finally had it delivered I loved it and still do!  It completely brightens up our space and it’s so easy to keep clean with all of our fur babies!

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for f The unexpected color combo that is so pretty for fall- burgundy and light pink!! When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

White jeans for fall…. absolutely!!! These have be White jeans for fall…. absolutely!!! These have been my go to because they are super comfy but somehow still look polished.

And I just ordered my third color of this classic rollneck sweater by @jcrew.  When you love something- buy it in multiples! 

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.
