I have been making a list of my favorite purchases of 2025 from fashion, healthy and beauty products, and home items. Here are my favorite things that have been amazing and I would absolutely buy again!
Dresses:
- Chicwish Wisteria Printed Button Down Belted Midi Dress– I work with Chicwish a lot and received this dress from them over the Summer. It is a beautiful dress and I get compliments on it every time I wear it! It does require a skirt slip underneath but that is not a big deal for me since I wear slips often.
- Utcoco Striped Ric Rac Dress– I got this dress for Summer and I absolutely love it! I wore it at least once a week when it was warm because it’s light weight, easy to wear and very pretty. This one also requires a skirt slip underneath.
- Chicwish Exotic Printed Button Down Shirt Dress– Another Chicwish dress, I love the fun colors on this one! The long sleeves were great for Spring and Fall. I wore this one all the time and always received compliments when I wore it! This one also requires a skirt slip underneath.
- Chicwish Tropical Fruit Dreamland Dress– This Chicwish dress is very flattering, comfortable and 100% cotton! I absolutely love it and wore it all the time in the warm months! It also needs a skirt slip underneath.
Tops and Sweater:
- Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater– The hype on these sweaters are real! These 100% cashmere sweaters are an absolute must in your wardrobe- and only $50! I have two of this sweater and this Rich Burgundy color is my favorite. I will definitely be buying more colors of this sweater this year.
- Quince 100% Organic Cotton Fisherman Crew Sweater– Not only is the hype on Quince’s cashmere sweaters real, these cotton ones are just as amazing! I have this sweater in Big Sur Green and Heather Brown and I love them both equally. Plus, they’re only $39! I will definitely be buying more colors of this sweater this year!
- Boao 4 Pieces Basic Crop Tank Tops– I bought these tank tops to work out in (at home) and to also wear them under sweaters and tops in the winter. They are amazing and I wear them almost daily! I also love that they are 95% cotton and 5% spandex.
Skirts:
- Goldstitch Satin High Waist Skirt– I have fallen for the satin skirt trend hard this year and I’m going to continue to wear them into next year. I have this skirt in Brown and Champagne and wear them both all the time! I love the maxi length of these skirts on my 5’0″ frame.
Shoes:
- Marc Nolan Billie Leopard Patent Leather Mary Jane Flats– I received these as part of a collaboration with Marc Nolan and if I knew how amazing they were in advance I would definitely have bought them for myself! They’re really cute, excellent quality, timeless and very comfortable to wear.
- Native Shoes Apollo 10 Ultralight Sneakers in White/Tapioca Off White– Technically, I did not buy these because I got them as a collaboration with Native Shoes but I wear them ALL the time! They are so comfortable- they’re light weight but also have a good support structure for my foot. I am someone who goes on miles walks almost daily so I appreciate a good tennis shoe.
Accessories:
- J.Crew Cashmere Wrap– I got a cashmere wrap in the Fall and, now that it’s winter, I have been wearing it as a scarf all the time! It’s soft, light weight and warm. This is something I’ll use again and again over the years.
- Burberry Square Sunglasses– I treated myself to a new pair of sunglasses this Summer and these Burberry ones are amazing! They fit my face well and come with a hard case for when I have a bigger bag, and a soft small case for when I have a smaller bag. They’re not inexpensive but they are exceptional quality.
- Fast 9 Pcs Gold Hair Ties– I frequently wear my hair pulled back and these pretty gold hair ties look amazing and hold my hair in place. I wear them almost daily!
Home Items:
- Suroque Spice Jars with Labels– We finished our kitchen renovation this year and made a spice rack on the island so we had easy access for cooking. I got these spice jars so everything looked nice and uniform and I love them. Also, filling them with spices is slightly therapeutic!
- Aubeco Bamboo Drawer Organizers– A new kitchen meant I wanted to make sure our drawers stayed organized! These bamboo organizers have been great. They are spring loaded and they have not moved at all since I put them in last Spring.
- VaeFae Bamboo Drawer Organizer– I also got a bamboo drawer organizer for our silverware and this one has been great! It’s larger than a standard utensil holder which is great for my serving spoons.
- Kingdder 16Pcs Clear Zippered Storage Bags– My wardrobe got clothes moths this Summer and it was absolutely devastating for me as someone who has a lot of wool and cashmere, and a very clean home! I still have no idea where they came from because I have never had this problem before. I was able to repair a lot of what got ruined but I did have to get rid of a few sweaters. These zippered storage bags have been a lifesaver for me and I absolutely love them! I also put lavender sachets in the bags so my clothes have a faint lavender scent when I put them on.
- Epabo Contour Memory Foam Orthopedic Pillow– I have struggled for years waking up with a headache and not knowing why. I found out it’s because my neck was not getting the proper support it needed when I was sleeping. This pillow has been life changing and I know longer wake up with a sore neck! It’s so great my husband even wanted one!
- Better Homes and Gardens 100% Cotton Sheets– I randomly bought these sheets at Walmart one day and they are amazing! I’ll definitely be buying them again. They’re soft, silky and great for sleeping.
Health and Beauty:
- Pacifica Beauty Pineapple Curls Shampoo– I turned 35 in 2025 and realized something- the beauty products I used in high school and my 20s are by FAR better than anything new that has come out recently. So I decided to switch back to what I used to used years ago! This was the best shampoo for my very curly hair in my 20s and I still love it!
- Pacifica Beauty Pineapple Curls Defining Conditioner– I also started using the conditioner again and it’s still great! It also smells amazing.
- Clean & Clean Morning Burst Facial Cleanser– I also reverted back to my skincare routine back in high school. I rarely had breakouts in high school and I noticed I got more break outs lately using new things (that were supposed to be better) compared to what I used to use. This is the cleanser I always used back in the day and it’s still great!
- St Ives Apricot Scrub– I know this is a controversial one but this scrub is the only one I have found that actually keeps my skin clear! I have tried numerous other scrubs and none of them work as well for me. I’m not sure why everyone hates it lately! I put my cleanser on, then this scrub and then wash them all off together. This works amazing for my skin!
- Neutrogena Clear Pore Astringent– I also started using astringent again and, guess what, I don’t get breakouts anymore! Everyone’s skin reacts differently to products and this cleanser, scrub and astringent combination work the best for me and my skin.
- YSE Skin Glow SPF30 Primer– I did try one new beauty product last year that I absolutely love! I wanted to stop wearing foundation and swapped it out for this tinted sunscreen. It’s easy to apply, lasts all day and has a natural, glowy finish. It’s so good I stock piled a few when it was on sale!
Electonics:
- Onn+ Blu-ray Player– Over a year ago we decided to cancel all of our TV subscriptions. My husband and I were sick of all the garbage they were making, especially “kid” shows that were actually inappropriate for kids. So we decided to get a DVD player and our favorite shows and just watch those! This has been great for us and our family.
- Gilmore Girls: The Series– One of the shows I decided to buy was Gilmore Girls. It’s one of my favorite shows and I can watch it all the time. And now, because I own it, I don’t have to worry about it getting canceled on a TV subscription!
- Good Witch: The Complete Series– Another one of my favorite shows and now I can watch it all the time! It’s so nice to own things in a society that doesn’t own anything anymore.
- Friends: The Complete Series– This is a show I have been watching as a kid and is now a comfort watch for me! I can sit down and watch it or have it on in the background, and I love it!
