Top Posts of 2019 | Fashion & Beauty
Hello friends and happy Friday! I swear I’m losing track of what day it is! You too? My kids go back to school on Tuesday, so we still have another four days of winter break. Then, since our school closed a week early, we had to vote whether we wanted to add an extra 20 minutes everyday until the end of the year, or an additional three days at the end of the school year. We voted three more days, so we’ll see!
This weekend I’m planning to get the pantry all finished to show you next week. It’s ridiculous how absolutely giddy this organization project made me! I’m smiling every time I walk in there! The labels (here & here) put the icing on the cake! You can find most of my pantry organization products on my Amazon Storefront.
This week I’ve been looking back at the most popular posts of the year including the top productivity posts, fitness/travel/decor and today it’s all about fashion and beauty. When I looked to see what the most popular posts of 2019 were, the Amazon fashion posts were the runaway hits by far! Y’all like shopping Amazon as much as I do! #primebaby
You can find all of my Amazon posts for the year here. I do two detailed Amazon fashion try-on posts a month, usually every other Friday if you want to keep an eye out for those. If you subscribe to my blog, you’ll receive them as soon as they are published, hopefully, before anything sells out!
FASHION
Best of Amazon Prime Day
This post rounded up some of the most popular Amazon products of the whole year in one post.

My monthly Loves series is one I really enjoy putting together and one of your faves too. This year, every month I will pick one subscriber to win everything in that month’s LOVES post!
Wrap Bracelets
We all went crazy for the Victoria Emerson wrap bracelets this year. They are always coming out with new designs and often go on sale. They are buy 1, get 1 free right now!
Spring & Easter Dresses
I’m often dressed so casually (hello jeans and jean shorts), so it’s fun to get dressed up every once in awhile. Spring is the perfect time to bring out the feminine, flirty dresses!
3 Animal Print Dresses
Animal print was everywhere this year and I’m sure we’ll be seeing tons more of it in 2020.
Style a Friend : Spring/Summer Boho
It’s also clear that y’all love Ali-Shaun as much as I do! She joined us a few times this year for Style-A-Friend posts (this series was actually her idea!) I hope we can get her back here soon!

Tory Burch Miller Sandals Review
I love it when y’all send me DMs, comments and questions. I personally read every one and your thoughtfulness never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for being the best readers a girl could have. ♥
I recently got an email from Heather asking about the Tory Burch Miller sandals. She was considering in buying a pair, but at the price, she wanted a detailed review, specifically, what style, color and material did I recommend?

Yep, I bought a ton of drugstore products and shared the winners here!
Beauty Q & A
I asked y’all on Instagram to send me any beauty-related questions and y’all had tons! I loved reading your questions and they are similar to the things I would want to know! We dive into skincare, boxtox, lashes, nails and more in this one.
My Secret to Younger Looking Skin
I’m passionate about my skincare routine and if there’s one single tool that I credit for helping my skin look as youthful as possible, it’s theBeautyBio“GloPRO”.
I would love to hear what kinds of fashion and beauty posts you’d be interested in for 2020. A short hair tutorial is definitely on my list! Do you want more workwear options? Athletic wear? Certain retailers?

Hi Megan, a fellow Houstonian here. I was looking at Linh’s Insta and there are a few salons mentioned, does she work more than one location? I am very close to Vintage Park where the Venetian is, but not sure if that’s where she works out of? Thank you and hope 2020 is your year!
Hi Jackie! He was at Vintage Park, but I’m not sure if she’s still there! Call and see!
Is that a built in closet behind Ali-Shaun? I’d love to see more of those cabinets. I don’t have a walk in and I, thinking through ideas.
Your fashion style is amazing, I always take time to scroll and read about it.
