THE FIVE AND FIVE IS BACK!
The Five & Five is back with its second edition, and I couldn’t be more excited to keep this momentum going! This monthly series is all about thoughtfully curated highlights—featuring the things you’ve been loving the most alongside my latest and greatest finds.
This month, I’m sharing ten incredible picks: 5 new items that I’m excited to share with you and 5 of your absolute favorites that have been total standouts so far this month. These selections are to make life a little easier, more fashionable, and a whole lot more fun. Whether you’re treating yourself or searching for the perfect gift, these must-haves are worth a spot on your radar. Let’s dive in!
what YOU’re Loving This month so far…
This sweater dress has been such a hit with you all that it’s already sold out in a few sizes! I can see why—it’s cozy, hugs in all the right places, and the gold button details are just the perfect added detail. If your size is out of stock, don’t worry—I’ve rounding up a few similar styles that you’ll love just as much here. Perfect for dressing up with boots or heels, this dress is a winner for fall and winter!
This dress is one of my favorite finds of the season, and it seems like you all are loving it too! I recently wore it to a Friendsgiving party and styled it with tights and pointed-toe heels for a polished, festive look (see the top of this post to see it styled). The fit is super flattering, and the floral pattern is perfect for everything from holiday gatherings to date nights. See more of my Anthropologie finds here. Use CARALYN30 for 30% off through 11/24.
This holiday plaid top was featured in my This or That series. It's classic and never goes out of style! The timeless plaid pattern is perfect for the season, and it pairs effortlessly with a skirt for parties or your favorite jeans for a casual, festive look. It’s one of those pieces you’ll reach for year after year, making it a total wardrobe staple for the holidays!
I’ve been using these whitening trays for years, and they’re hands-down my go-to for a whiter smile. They’re so easy to use and deliver amazing results without the hassle. Pro tip: The best time to whiten your teeth is right after a visit to the dentist—your teeth are freshly cleaned, making the whitening even more effective. If you’ve been looking for an easy way to level up your smile, these trays are a game-changer! Pair it with this toothpaste for optimal results.
Who knew flossing could actually be something to look forward to? This electric flosser has been a total game-changer for my bedtime routine. It’s super easy to use, leaves my teeth feeling so clean, and makes flossing feel less like a chore and more like a treat. If you’re looking to upgrade your oral care game, this is a must-try—you’ll never go back to regular floss again!
WHAT I AM LOVING…
Hosting for the holidays just got a whole lot prettier with this bowl set. Not only are they perfect for serving up your favorite dishes AND dishwasher friendly, but they also double as gorgeous kitchen decor. I used them recently when we hosted our Friendsgiving and couldn’t get over how elegant they looked on the table. These bowls also make an amazing gift for the person in your life who loves to host. Use CARALYN20 for 20% off for a limited time!
Let’s talk shapewear that I’m loving! It's sleek, comfy, and the level 2 support gives that perfect tummy-taming magic without feeling restrictive. The satin finish feels so luxe—like shapewear that’s made to be seen (but we’ll keep that our little secret). I wear size 1X. Use CARALYN20 for 20% off + free shipping.
If you run hot but love the look of a mock neck, this will be your new favorite top! I love the fitted and flattering look, and how it works perfectly for layering or wearing on its own. Bonus—it also comes in a long-sleeve style, which is great as we head into the colder months. Dress it up with a skirt or sequin pants, or keep it casual with jeans, You’ll reach for it again and again this season.
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect size-inclusive vest for our morning walks, and this vest checks all the boxes. It’s warm, lightweight, and the longer length is perfect for pairing with leggings (because we all love a little extra coverage). Whether it’s a chilly stroll or running errands, this vest has been my go-to lately. I wear size 1X.
These toddler pajamas have been a total win and they are precious. They're soft, comfy, and hold up so well—even after multiple washes. I’ve gotten a ton of requests for these after sharing Conrad on my stories wearing them so I thought I’d add these to the list. If you're looking for affordable and adorable PJs for your little one, these are a must-have!
