Most Loved of 2022
MOST LOVED OF 2022
EVERYTHING WE LOVED MOST THIS YEAR!
Another year has come and gone just like that! After a year’s worth of my weekly five and fives (the five things you love most from my blog and IG and five things I’m excited to share with you), I’ve got a year-end list of your most-loved finds. From sharing my home finds to fashion to everyday life, there have been some products that truly changed the game, and I’m so excited to share some of my personal favorites with you that you also have enjoyed most this year. I’ve compiled a list of the most purchased products from my blog and Instagram this year. I’d love to hear if you bought any of the items below!
To kick things off, I’d like to share seven items that have made your most-loved list two years in a row! Let’s call them the most loved hall of fame, and you can check out last year’s picks here. These are items that I have personally loved and have shared a bunch over the past two years that you love again this year.
HALL OF FAME
Your MOST LOVED TWO YEARS IN A ROW!
Starting with these no-show socks with a 99.9% success rate. I love seeing these on the list again, and I appreciate an excellent functional find. You do too! These are great and have a silicone strip at the heel to avoid slipping. I have more sock favorites here. Seeing this mattress pad cover on the list AGAIN made me chuckle because I remember being so unsure about sharing this find with you, thinking it was boring. However, I’m very glad to see that you completely embraced my home finds this year. More home finds can be found here and here!
I’ve owned this handheld travel steamer for years, and it has quickly replaced my iron, perfect for quick touch-ups, events, and travel. I shared a tutorial on my “life hacks” highlight on Instagram. These mid-thigh shorts were a clear winner! If you missed my shapewear and undergarment solutions guide and my guide on your most asked undergarment questions, check them out. These shorts are my favorite to wear underneath dresses; they provide a medium hold that is comfortable enough to wear all day long. Use CARALYN10 on all of your Spanx purchases!
I discovered this bra last summer at Lace & Day, and it appears many of you did too! I have it in quite a few colors; it’s comfortable and gives a nice smooth look in the front and back. Here’s your friendly reminder to get a proper bra fitting in the new year. Shop more of my most-worn bras and fit-focused brand favorites here. I fell in love with these sneakers a few years ago; they have quickly become my favorite pair to wear year-round with jeans, dresses, and skirts. Sadly, they seem to be discontinued, so they’re harder to find, but I found them here and here!
If you’re planning a getaway or overnight stay anytime soon, these packing cubes are a must! They are a great way to stay organized when traveling and make unpacking a breeze! The quality of these is fantastic for the price as well. I shared a more in-depth tutorial on using them in this previous post.
MOST LOVED THIS YEAR, 2022
THE MEGA LIST!
Here we go, digging into a fresh batch of finds from the past year that you loved the most. Starting with these super lightweight, polarized sunglasses that I have several pairs of! They’re great to travel with too. These wide-leg yoga pants are one of the best purchases I made this year, and they’re so comfortable. I shared ways to style them here! This easy t-shirt dress is another versatile piece. I own several colors and shared ways to style them here.
These bra strap converters allow you to turn any bra into a racerback-friendly bra to accommodate underneath different dresses and tank tops! I shared a tutorial here. This turntable organizer storage is one of my favorite finds, and it works well in your fridge, kitchen, bathroom, cupboard, etc. I have more organizational finds here and here. These hair claw clips made a major comeback this year, and I shared how I like to wear them here. This fabric shaver will transform any sweater, sofa, or pillow you own that is pilled and needs a refresh. The real unsung hero of this year is the shoehorn that makes putting on boots and shoes easy and great for all ages and phases of life. I highly recommend this set of two-bed pillows, we use them on our bed and for our guests, and they wash in the machine beautifully. Featured in our primary bedroom reveal earlier this year.
I first wore this cover-up on our Hawaii trip this year; it’s such a great find. I recommend sizing up because there is no stretch. This Spanx top is such a great everyday piece. It works well with leggings and is the perfect weight for year-round. I wear XL; you can use CARALYN10 for a discount and free shipping/returns. These are my favorite teeth-whitening strips, first recommended several years ago by my dentist.
These clear cases are great for travel and throwing into larger tote bags, the clear material makes it easy to find things. See more of my travel beauty favorites here. This dress is one of my favorite silhouettes, and it’s such an easy fit and bra-friendly. I’ve featured it a bunch but most recently on my wedding guest dress guide. It can be dressed up or down and comes in several colors, fabrics, and lengths, I wear XL. And lastly, I cannot recommend proper care of your clothing and undergarments! This stretch athleisure wash is excellent for anything with high elasticity, like workout gear, swimwear, and shapewear. See more bra-washing tips here!
