What You Have Bought So Far in 2023

Is it just me or is this year already flying by?? As such, when we started planning this post and realized February is nearly over, we figured we would check the data to see what ya’ll have bought so far this year. We were genuinely curious if the beginning of the year purchases would reflect any interesting buying trends. I.e. would we see a lot of organizing stuff? Cleaning supplies? General get-your-life-together accouterments? The answer lies in these here links so let’s jump right in, shall we?

10. Wood Entryway Bench

Right off the bat, the data is throwing us a surprise gem. This entryway bench is not a casual purchase but it IS a really pretty and functional piece of furniture (that’s only $399!) so I understand why it would be so popular. I love the wood finish, cane drawer detail, and the adorable peg hooks. Who among us is a proud owner of this bad boy?? Don’t be shy and sound off in the comments 🙂

9. Emily’s Glass Dinner Plates

These classic and durable dinner plates have been a favorite of Emily’s for years. Here’s what Emily loves about them: “These plates are extremely flat, lightweight, and durable which means that the kids can easily set the table, do their own dishes, and easily load them into the dishwasher. While I love handmade pottery plates, those are more like the modern-day “fine china” – great for special occasions. But for day-to-day, I will only use these”

8. Large Oval Leather Shagreen Tray

We knew this Shagreen tray would be a winner as soon as we saw it. It is so pretty and has a lovely texture (and it has a matching box if you are into that). Emily styled it in her sunroom and we love the way the muted green color interacts with the stunning blue tile flooring.

7. Ryann’s Mug

I LOVE this mug. It’s one of the few things I use every single day and at this point, it’s something I feel like I can’t live without. If you are curious, here is my original sales pitch: “If you have ever opened Tik Tok you have probably seen the now viral Stanley mugs that every Gen Z and Millenial influencer has. And these influencers deserve a proverbial raise because I found myself ready to hit purchase until I saw they are $50 and basically sold out of every color. So I gave up on the dream until I was wandering through Target and saw this. It’s a Stanley mug dupe and I am sure not as heavy duty, but it’s the same size and idea AND half the price. So I bought it and I now have to run to the bathroom every hour on the hour because of how much water I am drinking. Big fan.

6. Emily’s Sauna Blanket

Sauna blanket for the win! I can’t say I am surprised to see this guy made it to the top 10 list once again, especially since Em wrote another honest full review after having hers for 3 years. I don’t think anyone can question why it is a top seller, but I do want to know, who got themselves one this year?? Lets us know in the comments!

5. Women’s Sherpa Anorak Jacket

Emily wore this cute (and affordable) sherpa jacket in this post and really sold it with this endorsement: “How cute is this cozy jacket? It has this brown trim detailing that mimics the look of leather, a super high collar that is oversized and very cool, and it’s just as soft on the inside as it is on the outside.

4. Faux Leather Storage Bin

We have used these faux leather storage bins in SO MANY shoots and projects over the years. I would say this guy falls under the category of pretty org and its placement on this list is reminding me that I could use a stylish bin or two. I love the stitching detail and faux patinaed look, and this is big enough that it could store shoes or perhaps some throw blankets. Who snagged one of these this year??

3. Mallory’s Turtleneck Sweater

Mallory, the queen of finding the best sales, bought this sweater when Madewell was offering an additional 40% off sale items. What a steal! It has a perfect boxy, cropped fit and lovely detailed stitching. Who else bought this one??

2. Ryann’s Flared Leggings

I always get compliments when I wear these pants which of course feels good 🙂 Like I said when I shared them in The Link Up, they are very flattering, COMFORTABLE, and slimming if you are into that and go with pretty much everything I own. And only $18! If you bought yourself a pair let me know down below!

1. Caitlin’s Yee Haw Needlepoint Pillows

And finally, coming in at #1 are these delightful needlepoint throw pillows. I wanna know who snagged these!! They are really cute and not surprisingly currently sold out (but don’t worry, the shop sells some others that are just as darling–like this cowboy boot one!). Here’s how Caitlin originally sold us all on them: “I’m currently obsessed with fun needlepoint pillows (anyone else?) and I just ordered a pink and orange pair that I’m so excited about!!! They’re from a small business in Texas, they shipped much quicker than anticipated, and the price is UNBEATABLE. I say this as a person who spent about $110 bucks back in 2017 on the now-famous Furbish Studio “got it all together but I forgot where I put it” needlepoint pillow – it was worth the splurge and I still love it, but dang, it feels great to find the look for about half the price:) Hoping they make it into one of my reveals this year.”

There you have it, folks. If you purchased any of these top sellers we’d love to hear about it down below! Thanks for stopping by and happy Saturday. xx

How did Brian’s elastic shoe laces not make this list?! They have made the mornings so much easier for my high top loving children. GAME CHANGER!

Also, I gifted the Target leather baskets to a friend and ended up buying a few for myself. So so pretty.

Caitlin’s cushions make me smile. Very fun!😊

The tray is not leather. It’s faux leather. Pretty, but plastic.

Oh no, Rusty. Those cushions are filled with polyester! Did you know that comes from petroleum? (Just teasing!)

Gee, really?!😋
My roof insulation is made of polyster…recycled polyester. It’s about mindfulness combined with choices.

Number 4! I bought the small size Hearth & Hand storage bin in-store at Target yesterday-so it won’t show up in your stats; sorry. It looks good and stores lots of my grandkids’ art supplies.

Just ordered the flared leggings. You can’t beat that price!

Sorry to be the English major but it’s spelled “accoutrements”.

An English major who understands French spelling, in fact:)

I bought the faux shagreen tray from Target. I’m living temporarily in another city in a corporate apartment. I got tired of the clutter that was accumulating on the counter and snagged that tray after I saw it in Emily’s post. I love it. I don’t mind that it’s faux as I’d rather not have real stingray. It’s classy and makes me happy that the clutter is contained.

All the clutter that went on my island now gets piled in here instead
