Top 10 Purchases of 2023

This year I kept a little note in my phone and wrote down the items I purchased and ended up loving the most this past year. Here are my top 10 items I purchased in 2023. A little home décor, a little fashion and a little bit of beauty!

Pajama Set | Face Moisturizer | Sneaker | Sweatshirt | Weights | Rug | Pillow | Kids Table & Chairs | Chair | USB Lamp

…

Top Purchases of 2023

Pajama Set– I’ve heard great things about Lake Pajamas for years but it wasn’t until this year that I finally got a pair (and then bought a second pair!). And now they are all I want to buy! It sounds crazy, but I just sleep better in them. They are so soft and comfortable. And the more you wear them, the softer they get. I got this pair as a gift and then bought myself this pair during their Christmas sale and I wear them every chance I get. They just launched their new Valentine’s Day collection and I’m obsessed with this set!

Face Moisturizer– Ever since I moved back to MI, but skin has been so dry. Last year, I think I tried upwards of 10 different moisturizers and nothing seemed to work. Until I found this one by Jones Road and I haven’t looked back since. It’s the absolute best if you have very dry skin like I do. And I especially love that it is under $50, so very affordable. I don’t think you need to spend a ton of money on skincare- you just need to use the right products for your skin. I wrote a more in depth blog post on my review on this moisturizer if you want to read it here.

Sneaker– The best sneaker I think I’ve ever worn! If you look at my daily outfits I post on LTK, you will notice I wear these a ton. I also wear them every day to work out in. I personally love the white because they are so crisp and go with everything. You can read my full review here on these sneakers.

Sweatshirt– Hands down my #1 purchase of 2023. I live in this sweatshirt– it’s soooo good!! I have gotten so many people hooked on this. It’s oversized and so cozy and everything you want in a sweatshirt- just trust me. I wear a small, you don’t need to size up because it is already oversized. My personal favorite is the grey and I also own white. But it comes in a ton of different colors. I really want a navy one next!

Weights– I started a new workout in spring of 2023 and haven’t looked back since. I’m addicted to The Sculpt Society in the best way possible. I’ve never stuck to a workout or craved anything more. These weights were a great addition to my workouts. They are really easy to hold and a must. I really need to upgrade to the 3 lbs soon! You can read more about my review on The Sculpt Society here.

Rug– I replaced my rug in our play room with this one and I love it so much! Not only does it look really nice, but it is so affordable especially if you need a larger size like I did. This is a really high traffic area for us with our backdoor right off this room, this is where Sloane mostly plays, eats snacks, colors, etc. so we needed something durable. I think when your husband also comments how much he loves a rug- you’ve found a winner!

Pillow– I added these pillows to our play room and I can’t get over how cute they are for the price. Pillows can be crazy expensive, but these look nice and are such a cheap price. I just love the print and think they tie in really nicely to our room. You can see them in our room in this post here.

Kids Table & Chairs– This has been one of the best items that I’ve bought for Sloane. She loves this table so much and uses it daily. She eats snacks here, colors on it, etc. We use it so much more than I thought we would. It cleans up really nicely and I’ve been so happy with it. At under $100- it looks so much more expensive than what it is.

Chair– I bought a set of these chairs to add to our play room and I’ve been so happy with them. First off, I’m obsessed with the color! They are they perfect color blue and tie everything in perfectly. You can see them in our room here. And they are super comfortable. I feel like someone is giving me a big hug when I sit in them. And I also love that not only to do they swivel, but they also rock too. They come in other colors and go in and out of stock so be patient if they don’t have them right now. They are worth the wait! You can read more about them here.

USB Lamp– This lamp was one of those random purchases that I didn’t expect to love so much. We usually have this in the kitchen and turn it on in the mornings when we aren’t fully awake yet and don’t want the bright overhead lights on just yet. It’s also super convenient that it can be moved everywhere around the house because there is no cord. What really sold me was the shade which you can find here or here. It’s the most adorable lamp I’ve ever seen 🙂 You can see it in my kitchen here.

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.

I’m always taking screenshots when I see cute outfits I like and I save them to a folder. This one got saved to ‘fall outfit ideas’. And when I’m feeling stumped and don’t know what to wear I scroll thru my folder to get some inspiration. It’s helped so much!
