I know we still have a little less than two months left in the year (which honestly is kind of insane) but I still felt like I wanted to share some of my best purchases from this year. I figured maybe it would give you some ideas for the holidays for yourselves or maybe even for others.

Strathberry Bag: I got this bag in September for my October trip to Europe and have used it every day since. I really had wanted a brown suede bag for a while and could never find exactly what I had in mind. Then I saw this one. I loved that it was both a shoulder and crossbody bag option. It was also the perfect size.
Fendi Sandals: I got these in February and I am pretty sure the cost per wear is already under $10!
Quince Sunglasses: $40 for these designer looking sunglasses. The quality is also amazing.
Daily Drills sets: These are a bit spendy but I seriously LIVE in them! I probably wear one every single day and wear the pullovers to barre and to run errands.
Adidas Sambaes: I have two pairs and wore them all over Europe! So comfy and cute. A ton on sale at Nordstrom Rack.
Weighted Vest: I love using this on walks! Truly gives me so much more of a challenge.
Caraway bakeware: I really had not purchased new bakeware since our wedding 11 years ago and baking is one of my favorite things to do. Caraway sent me this bakeware set and we have loved it!
Clean Skin Club face towels: I will NEVER use a hand towel on my face again! These are so good!
Summer Fridays Toasted Marshmallow: It’s a limited edition holiday one but I have a few stocked away for after the holidays! LOVE all their lip balms.
Peppermint tea: Since about March I have had peppermint tea every single night after dinner and it really is my favorite thing!
Seed probiotics: Again, I started these back in March after taking about a year off and haven’t missed a day since! I truly think these have changed my skin and my digestion. You can click here and use my code NEELY25 for 25% off!
