Hands down, the 10 best purchases of the year! ๐Ÿ™Œ

… and theyโ€™re still available!!

I try REALLY, REALLY hard to make careful, thoughtful purchases. Since Iโ€™m in the business, and everyday thereโ€™s something new, itโ€™s very important to be selective. Itโ€™s called editing, and itโ€™s quite difficult at times! This is the โ€œdownside of being a personal stylistโ€ (I wrote about it here). But itโ€™s worth it, and Iโ€™m sharing with you the best purchases of 2019 that I know youโ€™ll love as well. Iโ€™m constantly telling all of you to buy this and buy that, and so when I say โ€œtrust meโ€ or โ€œthis is so good,โ€ I really mean it! My promise on this blogging journey is to always be genuine and authentic.

So, looking back on 2019, there are 10 items that I love so much that I have to recommend them all to you. They have worked perfectly on multiple occasions, with many outfits. And I guarantee you will wear these 10 items again in 2020. Any of these pieces will complement your wardrobes, and youโ€™ll be very happy with your purchases!

 

#1 Gucci Mini Marmont bag

Iโ€™ve been making fun of those eensy little bags seen all over my Pinterest feed, and wondering to myself: ย who would purchase such a tiny bag? Well, I did! It was an unplanned purchase, but after my dear friend in the Gucci boutique told me how much she loved hers, and how it can even be turned into a belt bag, well โ€ฆ sold. ย And just to be sure, I watched a YouTube review and was surprised at how much actually fit in this tiny little bag. Iโ€™ve worn it over and over and over!

 

#2ย Chelsea 28 sundress/cover-up

Chelsea 28 dress

This dress is actually a cover-up, but I wore it all summer around the house and even out for dinner during our trip to Italy. For only $89, it was a great purchase, and I can hardly wait to wear it again on our next sunny vacation.ย Available here in a couple of colors, I highly recommend this for anyone!

 

#3 Rag & Bone blazer

Rag & Bone blazer | ATM tee | Mother denim | Clutch | Mules

This cozy blazer that feels like a sweater but looks like a blazer is a bit of a splurge. But, considering it works all seasons and is super versatile, it earns a top spot in my closet. It comes in several colors, but my suggestion is black or navy since these two colors work perfectly as we head into the new year!

 

 

#4 Vuori joggers

Vuori joggers

sunnies | Cashmere sweater | Joggers | Denim jacket |ย sneakers

Surely if youโ€™ve been following me, you likely own these already. But just in case you donโ€™t, then rush out NOW and buy them! I keep going on and on about these and really, theyโ€™re just so good. A friend had texted saying she was hesitant about them, but finally she purchased them, and all she wrote was “OMG!”

 

 

#5 Poppy Finch necklace and Prada pumps

Gucci dress

Gucci dress | Givenchy handbag | Prada shoes |ย Gucci sunnies

I snuck in an extra โ€œbest purchase all yearโ€ because theyโ€™re both so good! You’ve probably noticed by now thatย this necklace and these pumps are in almost every photo I take. Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ve ever had a pair of shoes that are this versatile AND comfy. If you decide to splurge on either (or both) of these favorites, Iโ€™m sure you’ll wear them over and over and over again!

 

 

#6 Valentino sandals

Cashmere sweater| Chloe sunglasses | Valentino flip flops

Pretty much the only sandal I wore all summer long! Yes they were a splurge, but considering I felt extra pretty in every single summer outfit from a swim suit to jeans to a summer dress, these sandals were worth it. If you have a sunny vacation planned for next year, Iโ€™d purchase these gems right away!

 

 

#7 Charlotte Tilbury makeup

Treasure & Bond sweater | 7 for all Mankind coated denim | Vince bootie | earrings ย | Heart belt

Typically I prefer to purchase makeup from different beauty counters, making sure to get the best of the best. And while I still do that, Charlotte Tilbury has a handful of my favorite products. For starters, the Magic Cream is a hit, I even noticed my son dipping into it, and now itโ€™s empty! The Flawless Finish powder is like Instagram for your face, and Iโ€™ve gone through several jars already. And finally there are the lipsticks: two all-time favorites are Kidmanโ€™s Kiss and Pillowtalk. Read more about Charlotte Tilbury here!

 

 

#8 J.Crew packable hat

This straw hat is priceless, mainly because if you have OOC hair like I do, then you understand the importance of having a hat! ๐Ÿ˜‰ And of course, thereโ€™s the sun protection aspect as well. This hat is packable which is an added bonus. Any vacation calls for flip flops and this hat. Youโ€™ll thank me later!

 

 

#9 Levi Icon Wedgie jean

Leviโ€™s Icon Wedgie jean

These Leviโ€™s continue to be a hot item in all age groups. Sometimes jeans can be a little tricky, which is why Iโ€™m so excited about this style. Theyโ€™re a little slimmer, and theyโ€™ve just been restocked. You will wear this classic brand every day!

 

 

#10 The best $69.00 youโ€™ll spend: the Halogenย cardigan

Nordstrom $68 cardigan | ATM tee | Poppy Finch necklace | Gucci sunnies | white jeans

This is by far one of the most worn items in my closet. Itโ€™s one of those standards in my wardrobe that hasย become soย routine, I donโ€™t even think about it โ€“ I just put it on. And Iโ€™m not the only one โ€ฆ everyone else loves it too, based on 965 almost five-star ratings!
