Top 10 Blog Bestsellers of 2018

January 7, 2019

Hello & Happy New Year friends!

Took a much needed week off last week from blog posts to recoup after a crazy holiday season! Now, I’m back and ready to take on 2019 with you all!

Last week, I took some surveys in my Instagram stories about content you’d like to see on the blog this year. I got a lot of amazing responses. So much so that I’m spending most of the early parts of this week sorting through it all and planning Q1 of 2019. But, I can tell you, there will be a lot of try-ons and continued sale round-ups. I’m glad to see we all love a good sale 😉.

In addition, I’m going to try to branch out and incorporate more of our favorite retailers like Target and Amazon. I already share a lot of my Amazon favorites with you all, but need to work on finding more clothing from them! And, in case you missed it, I uploaded a Target try on to stories yesterday (saved to my highlights). It’s safe to say it was a huge HIT. I’ll be rounding up that try on in a blog post Friday so you can refer back to it on a desktop. For now, every outfit is also linked on this page.

Today, I’m sharing your top 10 most purchased items in 2018! A few top items, specifically from Target, are no longer in stock so those aren’t included. As far as retailers, your most shopped retailers were Amazon, Nordstrom, Loft and Target. I think it’s every style blogger’s goal to align her shopping with the interests of her audience. Well, we obviously all share the same taste since you all know those are some of my favorite retailers as well! 😋

Without further ado, the top 10 blog bestsellers of 2018:

1. Amazon Scarf (color “B Light Red”)

3. Sherpa

6. Cuff

8. 90Degree by Reflex Leggings

9. BP Eyelash Hoodie

10. Loft Flare Sleeve Sweater

What was your favorite from 2018?

Stay tuned Wednesday for a 2018 year in review post and a preview of what’s to come this year!

Affordable Chic Style with Walmart

December 19, 2018

Hello & Happy Wednesday everyone! We are officially less than a week out from Christmas, can you believe it? I swear I blinked, and this year was gone. Not quite sure what happened!

If you’ve been following me for even two seconds, you know that easy, chic (and affordable) outfits are kind of the bread and butter of my wardrobe. They’re easy to create, always make me feel my best and contain staple pieces. Pieces that are classics and will be in style year over year.

Sweater (petite version)| Coat | Denim | Booties | Tote

Lately, I’ve been expanding my reach to find you all the best quality staples at the best prices. Although Kevin and I get a lot of our camping and outdoors gear from Walmart, I hadn’t taken a good look at their women’s fashion until this past Fall. They have SO many cute pieces and with their affordable prices, I found myself buying pretty much anything and everything! And, did you know that Walmart even carries high fashion items in their Lord & Taylor premium brands shop? You can now find brands like Steve Madden, Lucky Brand and Vince Camuto in addition to their everyday (low-budget) items! Literally everything in one place. It’s too easy!

For today’s outfit, I decided to mix high-low fashion from Walmart to bring you ladies an affordable look you can wear to the office and out! And, dare I say, wear after the holidays (lol). This cashmere turtleneck sweater is one of my “high fashion” items from the Lord & Taylor premium brands shop. Would you believe me if I told you it was under $60 and comes in a petite version? Too good to be true, right?! This sweater is lightweight enough to layer under a cardigan or jacket like this one, which is currently on sale for only $17! I tucked the turtleneck in for this outfit, but you could easily leave it untucked and wear over leggings for a more casual look.

To really bring this casual look to the next level I paired this slimming pair of dark Levi’s (under $40!) with these fun leopard booties and black tote. These leopard booties are another premium brands find from Walmart but are still very reasonably priced given their Steve Madden. They’re under $90 and fully stocked! The kitten heel makes them comfortable for everyday wear while still being on trend.

In terms of sizing – I got a regular XS in the sweater and would say it fits TTS. If you are petite and plan to wear it over leggings, I would go with a regular. The jacket, shoes and denim run TTS. If you are petite, I would get a 28″ inseam in the denim. I went with 30″, and I have to cuff them.

What’s your favorite find from today’s post? Did anything surprise you? I can’t decide if the under $40 Levi’s or cashmere surprised me more! To say that I’m impressed with Walmart’s fashion would be an understatement! The quality is top-notch and ordering online was a breeze. With how busy life is lately, finding a place to do all of my shopping in one place is a life-saver. And since Walmart offers free 2-day shipping for any orders over $35 and free in-store pick up at tons of locations, ordering from them is really a no brainer.

Have a great day everyone!

xoxo
