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.

 

Traditional Potterybarn beige couch

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!

Meet Amanda

Hi- my name is Amanda Faber. My husband and I moved in 2021 into our first home where we are slowly decorating and renovating our 1927 colonial home. My style is a mix between coastal, traditional, modern and grandmillenial. You can expect to find all the best blue and white finds, mixed in with lots of rattan accents. I am also a new mama to my daughter Sloane who was born in 2021! I love to share home décor finds, preppy fashion and all the peonies & hydrangeas from my garden. Welcome to Cashmere & Jeans!

I have a love/hate with family photos. It always s I have a love/hate with family photos. It always sounds like a great idea when you book them, but they always end up being way more work than you think.  Work always ends up being crazy that day, something always goes wrong with someone’s outfit (this year it was Sloane’s adorable pink shoes that I swear I just bought her. They were too tight 🤨- so she threw on her rain boots). The weather is never quite what you expected when you planned everyone’s outfits. I swear I threw my dress on and had 2 minutes to spare before we were out the door.  The stress and planning that entails for 15 minutes of photos is crazy lol. And then you get them back and they perfectly capture your family 💙  I’m grateful we do these every year even if the process is a little crazy #fallfamilyphotos @tessamerrillphotography

The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all The perks of my dad being skinny- I can steal all of his clothes 😀 He wore this @jcrew pink linen shirt to my baby shower and wore it proudly all day 🩷 He was so excited. After that when he would wear it I would remember he wore it to my shower. It represented all the hard times we went through to get Sloane here and it always took me back to that special day. So now I get to wear it proudly 🩷
There is no more special bond than a daughter and There is no more special bond than a daughter and her father and I have to say I was blessed with one of the best 8/18/46-4/20/25 🩷 My dad always told me ‘if you look good, you feel good’ and that’s when my love of fashion and clothes started.  I will always remember him when I hear an oldies song playing, when I see a classic car (especially if it’s a red 1967 Barracuda), when I’m eating a donut, drinking a hot cup of coffee or when I’m ironing my clothes. Yes I still iron haha but I got that from my dad.  He was always put together and his clothes were always crisp. I know he touched so many lives including mine. He will be greatly missed 🩷I will never forget the last words he said to me and the sound of his voice when he said ‘I love you Moo’. “The best things in life aren’t things”- Art Buchwald— 16 candles was the song we danced to at my wedding and my favorite song as a little girl that we used to dance to
