Top 2019 Fashion Finds

EMBROIDERED FABLE MIDI DRESS BY FREE PEOPLE: Absolutely love this gorgeous bohemian floral dress. I wore it for a photo shoot and it has been one of my best selling recommendations! Restocked in most sizes & colors!

WOMENS BOHO FLORAL EMBROIDERED DRESS (Above Free People Dupe!): Since I loved the Free People dress so much, and I don’t actually own it, I was on the hunt for a good dupe and I found one! It’s about $90 cheaper!! This one runs pretty small though, so order three sizes up for a similar loose and flowy fit!

15 PAIRS OF RESIN DROP ACRYLIC STATEMENT EARRINGS: My friend (who lives in Brooklyn) bought these and recommended them. They have been my best selling jewelry item to date! And how could they not be?! 15 pairs of earrings for $15!!

Adjustments.jpeg

WOMEN’S POLKA DOT DRESS WITH FLARE SLEEVE AND RUFFLE HEM: Saw this dress recommended by a couple different influencers and had to try it for myself. I loved it! It’s got a real flattering fit even with all the ruffles, which surprisingly add to the dress and are super cute! Many different colors available.

Adjustments.jpeg

WOMEN'S CASUAL LOOSE POCKET MAXI SHIRT DRESS: This maxi shirt dress is super comfy, an everyday basic with pockets and is definitely for tall girls. If you’re 5’5” or over, this dress will be great for you. I’m 5’3” and knotted, it still doesn’t fit right. It drags on the floor when worn as is and the pockets are too low for my short frame. Comes in several colors too!

Adjustments.jpeg

PERSONALIZED DAINTY INITIAL NAME LETTER NECKLACE: This is my absolute favorite piece of jewelry that I own. A lot of other influencer mamas were sharing one that was $500+ which I definitely was not going to purchase. I don’t put a whole name on there, just my kid’s initials.

Adjustments.jpeg

I found a couple different options on Etsy but this one is my original purchase (above). The letter are smaller & thinner than the one I currently have. I would definitely recommend this one over my original purchase because of quality & size.

This one was a little pricier but overall worth it if you’re going to wear it every day for several years, without it getting tarnished and having to replace it. I’ll definitely be investing in this one next!!

Adjustments.jpeg


HANDMADE RATTAN WICKER ROUND EARRINGS: This was my first earring purchase of the spring and I absolutely love them! I wear them spring, summer and fall and they add such a fun, bohemian, beachy look to any outfit. There are several different styles, shapes and sets, but this one was a bestseller. 

Adjustments.jpeg

Later I found sets of 6 rattan sea grass woven earrings for the same price as one pair! Right now I would recommend this set!


AERIE MOVE HIGH WAISTED 7/8 LEGGING: These were recommended to me by another mama. I did a post on the best leggings, which you can check out HERE. They come highly recommended and are a top seller. They go out of stock quickly, so get them when you can!

Adjustments.jpeg

CASUAL TAN FAUX LEATHER WOVEN BACKPACK PURSE, DIAPER BAG: I got this one to replace my black backpack during the summer, so I chose the tan style for a more summer look. 

Adjustments.jpeg

It’s also a bit smaller than I thought, although I did choose the “small” size so it would look more like a purse and not a backpack.


BLACK FAUX LEATHER BACKPACK, DIAPER BAG FOR WOMEN: I purchased my first black backpack purse diaper bag at TJ Maxx and linked a bunch of similar black backpacks at the time and this one was the bestseller. 

Adjustments.jpeg

I own it now and it is honestly a little bit bigger than I would normally have purchased but it’s a great bag! It’s well-made, sturdy, has a ton of pockets & compartments and comes with an extra organization clutch!


2 IN1 HANDBAG ORGANIZER: So this handbag tote purse organizer is such a great find for those really large tote bags that seem like an endless pit of space.

Adjustments.jpeg

This one comes in a couple different sizes and tons of color options. They’re pretty affordable (unless you got your tote bag for cheaper like I did). But it’s just so nice not to have to dig around for things, I’d say it’s still worth it to have a purse organizer no matter the cost of the tote!



Top 2019 Home Finds

LIGHT PINK FAUX FUR SHEEPSKIN SHAG AREA RUG: My original purchase was a round pink faux fur sheepskin rug for my baby girl’s nursery, but when I went to link it it, wasn’t available so I found this one. It has been a bestseller ever since!

Adjustments.jpeg


QUEEN METAL BED FRAME VINTAGE WROUGHT IRON HEADBOARD: I was really excited about this queen bedframe for only $150, but was disappointed in the quality. 

Adjustments.jpeg

It would definitely be better for a spare/guest bedroom or a kids bedroom even, but not for an every day master bedroom. It’s just not as good of quality or sturdy enough for an everyday bed.

JACQUARD SOFA COVER SOFT ELASTIC WHITE: Although I would love to invest in a new couch, we have toddlers and not the budget to update our living room furniture at the moment. 

Adjustments.jpeg

This couch cover has come in so handy and gives my living room the look I want with the budget I have and current life season we’re in. 

It’s also great because you can take it off and wash it! Hello messy toddler hands & faces!! It’s not cheap, I think it was $50 when I got it, but I it’s definitely worth it.

ZINUS MEMORY FOAM 12 INCH GREEN TEA MATTRESS, QUEEN: Have you been wanting to try one of the memory foam mattresses that come in a box delivered right to your door? 

Adjustments.jpeg

This one is $260 for a queen size! Such a great deal. Keep an eye on it because I’m pretty sure I got it for a lightning deal for $215! It’s very comfortable and helps me sleep like a baby.

VINTAGE HANGING WALL BASKETS, ECLECTIC DECOR, SOUTHWEST BOHO DECOR: I love these vintage wall hanging baskets. For a more affordable option, I thrifted mine (over the course of about a month or two). 

IMG_4146.jpeg

Etsy has some decently priced sets though! These have been a bestseller!! And y’all, these basket sets sell out so fast I can’t keep a current shoppable link up fast enough.

If you click these links, it will at least take you to similar items. I try to look for sets that are anywhere from $35-$50 and offer 4+ baskets!


PERSONALIZED TODDLER WOOD NAME PUZZLE: This would make a great first or second birthday gift idea for any toddler! I shared this personalized toddler wood name puzzle in my toddler Christmas gift guide and it was a hit! Such an affordable personalized find!

It would fit in most purses and backpacks, syncs up to Wi-Fi, is easy to charge, and has an app where you can upload pictures from your phone right to the printer. It also has cute frames and stickers you can add to the image. This is a great gift for teenagers and fun to bring to parties & events.

Did you have any favorite items of 2019 that I should know about? Would love to know in the comments what y’all loved last year!!
