Gap White Tee: My VERY favorite white tee that I’ve found! It is $39 so it’s not super cheap but let me tell you — I have washed and washed this gal and she comes out fresh as a daisy each time. (use cold water and hang to dry. that’s the trick!) There is no shrinkage, no pilling and it’s super soft. If I had to recommend one tee, it’s this one! Find it here.

Bandolier Phone Case Crossbody: This was probably the most random of all of my finds. I was gifted this phone case and didn’t think much of it…until I realized how freaking handy it is. I use the little chain on the case like a handle, so when my hands are full I just carry it on my wrist, like a purse. I use the wallet portion as well and that is so handy because I’ve become so accustom to tap-to-pay but every once in a while someone doesn’t accept tap. I initially thought I’d use the long strap for my walks (and I do) but I like to use it when running errands as well. I just toss my phone on like a crossbody and I’m hands free. It’s quite cute, too! Anyways, it was a highlight find of my year. I’ve been obsessed with it since. Find it here.

Oversized Sweater: The sweater so nice, I bought it twice. This is the softest, most comfortable sweater I own. It actually has me wishing for colder weather so I can get more use out of it! It runs big / generous, so a medium works well for me. Find it here.

Jenny Bird ‘Gemma’ Earrings: Okay so I just got these at Christmas and technically they are not a purchase *I* made because B gave them to me…but I still count them as my favorite thing from 2025. They’re so big and dramatic and I love that energy for this year. I’ve never had JB earrings before but wow are they nice. They’re a great weight without being heavy on my earlobes. AKA I could wear them for long periods of time without even noticing them. Find them here.

Lioness Oversized Blazer: I was looking up oversized blazers when I found this blazer on Thredup (still my best find yet) for like $18, new with tags. I still feel like it was a glitch in the system but whatever, I’ll take it. It has been my favorite fit of an oversized blazer ever. It’s structured and fitted at the shoulders but fits loose / oversized everywhere else. Such a great fit if you are tall / broad shoulder but still want an oversized look. Find it here — unfortunately not at the badass Thredup price I found it at but it is under $100!

Rothy’s Clogs: I hate to admit this but I am just not a Birkenstocks gal. I’ve tried. I’ve got the receipts. Jury is still out on the sandals, but as far as the Boston Clogs, they just aren’t for me. I thought perhaps I was the problem, maybe a size 40/41 EU foot shouldn’t wear a clog? But I saw these Rothy’s ones and gave them a shot. Immediately — I love them. They don’t feel clunky, they don’t look huge on my feet and vice versa for that matter. And I find them way more comfortable, personally. Are they my most fashionable shoe? No, no. But they are the most comfortable! Find them here.

Gap High Rise Straight Denim: I don’t know if skinny jeans are coming back this year or not…me thinks probably not. But I do think most people will land on a straight leg or a tapered leg jean again. And honestly? We should. I love this mom jean silhouette, as it’s not too skinny leg that it looks like denim leggings but it’s not wide leg. It’s a nice, tailored jean and the high rise is my own personal savior. Long live high rise. This pair is flattering and beyond comfortable. Find them here!

Quince Leather Sling Bag: This crossbody was a sneaky one — it’s hard for me to put down my Clare V. crossbody, especially in the summer but this one waltzed right into my heart and closet. It’s the perfect size for a toss on and go bag. I found myself keeping all of my necessities in this and then if I wanted to use a bigger bag, just throwing this in the bag, too. I also love that Quince’s crossbody’s have great range when it comes to adjustable straps. In other words, there is plenty of room for bigger boobies in this crossbody! You can find this one here in many different hues!

Violette FR Bisou Balm: This lipstick has been haunting me via IG ads for a while and I finally took the bait when I saw it landed in our newly renovated Sephora. Call me old school but I struggle ordering new makeup online, which is where this line was exclusively sold. I got to try it out in store and this went right home with me. It’s a soft, matte hue and it’s very buildable. It’s not a subtle color, but the texture is very natural so it doesn’t scream ‘LIPSTICK LOOK AT MY LIPSTICK’ which is my internal dialogue every time I put a nice, bold lippie on. I want to try other colors but I landed on Rose Latte and love the color. Find it here.

Aire Sunglasses: These under $50 sunglasses have been on heavy rotation all year. I think I got them last summer and they have lasted and lasted, more than I thought they would honestly. They’re not the highest of quality, but worth the price. Plus I like a cheap pair of sunglasses to have for summer, too because I tend to ruin or lose glasses in the summer. Find them here.
