Top Buys and Best Styling Tips in 2022

Most Used Bags

• Pollen No.1 Nano – this was my most asked bag about this year! I owe some of you a more thorough review but I absolutely love this one and try to resist the same bag in light camel.
• Naghedi St. Barths – welcome new brand to my closet this year. I realize that I arrive in my Naghedi as a pretty roomy bag, I used to go to my Goyard St Louis by default.
• Saint Laurent Solferino – to include this as one of my personal favorite purchases and my most used bag. The style is reminiscent of the timeless Celine box bag I’ve always loved, but for a very small size and strap length and hardware for some sharpness.

Abercrombie Sloane Pants

Favorite bootleg of the year. Extremely flattering silhouette, multiple color and inseam options, and an elasticated back waist for some stretch and comfort. You can do see my reel here for these pants in motion. I love how this pair pushes me to try out unconventional looks like sneaker pants!

Topshop Faux Leather Leggings

Available Nordström & ASOS

My MOST comfortable faux leather tights from someone who owns quite a few! These were a July Nsale purchase and are in a weekly rotation whenever I want to update my plain black tights outfits. I love the slim but not skin tight fit, the soft, comfortable inner lining, and how easily I can bend and move as a busy toddler mom.

Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair

A new find for me and the bestseller will be here all winter so you’ll need to let me know what you think! I’ve always been one Moist Skin Cream faithful and this is still a solid choice for dry skin, but this Overnight Repair has been very gentle and nourishing for extra sensitive skin.

Arranged Parts Double-Sided Belt

I’m trying not to promote my own brand too much here, but it almost filled my week to see how many of you answered an IG poll that an Edited Pieces product is their 2022 favorite!

The black/cognac brown belt is ONLY restocked and currently available in all sizes! These belts are reversible and the buckle is interchangeable if you buy both colors. I have a 25″ waist and mostly wear 24 in jeans and a XXS from the middle to a few holes.

look at me in style: in shorts, with jeans, with pants, on a dress, for smart everyday, for girls night

Repeat previous year’s Favorites

• Sam Edelman combat boots (in my opinion)
  • see me here, here and here. Incredible feedback continues to come this Fall-Winter for this boot, which was a reader favorite last year. Mine are still in great condition, even more comfortable after a year of wearing them and I love the lightweight platform it adds.
• Neiwai bras (in my opinion 2022 new styles)
  • JEAN20 is still running with 20% off! So comfortable that I sleep in them. I still regularly get DMs about how these bras have changed their lives or how someone has now turned their entire family of sisters and aunts into this bra.
• J.Crew Juliette cardigan
  • A reliable staple to take from the weekend to WFH and the office. It’s a little too big, so the XXS is too big for me.

Amazon Favorites

• baby and toddler snot sucker pump – See all baby favorites. That’s for sure, it’s become your #1 most-shopped, favorite item all year! A game changer from our old Nose Frida days and a light pump is all you need for babies. My toddler actually wants to use this when he’s feeling calm and stuffy. I got it as a gift from a thoughtful friend, so I can confidently say it would make a handy baby shower or mommy gift.
• iphone case – affordable, non-slip, protective
• Little girls skirted leggings – Very soft, beautiful quality 2-in-1 “skirt pants” that brought my 4-year-old (and apparently many of you) a pleasure to wear.
• Omiebox bento box – I have mixed feelings about this lunch box but we use it every other day. I love the flexibility of adding a hot ingredient, and the way it presents the meal for my preschooler is better than a separate, deeper thermos. see my Highlights on IG story for more pluses and minuses and this Amazon page mealtime tools for all our kids!
