Hey, y’all! I asked on Instagram what blog post you wanted to see next and the majority of you requested Amazon favorites! My relationship with Amazon got real deep in 2020 when the pandemic happened and we decided to stay in Florida. We had only a week’s worth of clothes and essentials so Amazon was our best friend the rest of the stay. I’ve added my favorites below by category and called out some life-changing products too! I was also selected for the Amazon Influencer Program (yay!) and have an exclusive page where you can shop all my recommendations here.

FASHION

2020 showed us that loungewear is a category of its own and was a necessity during quarantine. At first, I had fun with it and got some fun patterns and all the tie-dye, but I find myself wearing the neutral sets now more often. I love this one and the puff sleeve. Amazon also had some really cute dress options!

WORKOUT ESSENTIALS

One of my favorite Amazon finds has been this active set. I love a monochromatic look in active sets and this one did not disappoint! It’s really soft and comfortable while also being supportive in all the right places. It also comes in several colors. I discovered bike shorts in 2020 (I know, I’m late to the game) and this pair from Amazon are great. make sure to check the inseam length that is right for you because some have been a bit long on me.

ORGANIZATION

When we moved in November we had some new spaces that needed an organization that didn’t exist in our old condo in Chicago, like our new desk space and having drawers in the bathroom (omg, I’m living now!). I ordered these drawer organizers for both the cabinets and drawers and love them! They come individually so you can arrange however you like. I’m all about the storage solutions lately and thought this headband stand was such a good find! You do have to put it together, but I did it in less than 10 min and love the way it displays!

SUNGLASSES

Y’all know I’m a lover of designer items, but one thing I can’t bring myself to spend more than $100 on is sunglasses. While the expensive ones are beautiful and unique, I’m pretty hard on mine and am much safer with a cheaper pair. I’ve linked my favorites below, but this cat eye pair got worn pretty much everyday this past summer and are so chic.

HOME

I get a lot of questions about our champagne flutes and ours are from Crate & Barrel, but these are really similar and so pretty! My other favorite home find was this chair. I was a bit skeptical about purchasing from Amazon when Wayfair had a similar one, but it is one of my favorite Amazon purchases to date. I use it for my desk chair and it is not only comfortable but chic and blends nicely with the rest of the kitchen and living room furniture. The quality is really great and I would definitely purchase again!

RANDOM FAVORITES

This next group is like the title says, random, but it is full of good ones! First up, this contact paper is really cool I’ve seen people use it for big projects like covering their countertops or even the top of a coffee table. When we got back to Chicago and working from home I ordered a couch desk and covered the top with this contact paper. It turned out really cute and was super easy to put together!

I have to credit my best friend, Lindsey, with this next one, but if you have a dog or cat or any animal that sheds, you NEED the Chom Chom. It picks up animal hair like nothing I’ve seen before. I use it on the couch, rug, and any fur-covered surface (thank you, Corgi).

BEAUTY

When it comes to beauty products I mostly use Amazon for restocking on items I love or finding a cheaper price compared to other retailers. I usually stock up on this coconut facial scrub that The Sister Studio recommended! It’s so good and lasts forever. I also love these facial razors for at-home dermaplaning. Much cheaper than a spa treatment and is super easy to do on your own! Lastly, I LOVE these tortoise hair clips and wear them basically everyday. They come as a two-pack and are so chic and durable.

WRITING AND DESK ACCESSORIES

2020 really put me back in touch with my writing and wanting to make it a habit, but I get really specific about what I use and I promise you it makes all the difference in creating a habit. There’s nothing like a pen that won’t smoothly write or scratchy paper that makes you not want to continue journaling. These pens are great and don’t bleed or transfer and I love these notebooks. They’re a great size and compact enough to carry around with you on the go. If you’re looking for some guidance to help you feel organized during the day, I love the brand Lamare (read my blog post here about their planners) and they have a weekly planning pad or daily planning pad based on their planner.
