2018 Favorites


As the New Year approaches, I'm taking a look back at my most-used purchases of 2018. From
fashion and footwear to tech and lifestyle, here are my seven favorite products from the past year.

Madewell Zip Top Transport Tote

This tote was a purchase I made in preparation for my summer in New York City. I've never been one to gravitate towards large tote bags, but this was the only bag other than a backpack that I could fit my 15-inch laptop in and zip shut. It has easily become my most used bag this year and I love it so much that I ended up buying the mini version a few weeks ago!

Packable Hunter Boots

This year I finally invested in a pair of rain boots and am so happy with my decision to purchase this packable pair. I went abroad to Europe in early 2018 and packing these along in my suitcase took up no more room than a regular pair of shoes and was by far the best thing I packed for the rainy winter weather. I love the matte finish - they still look brand new!

SD Card Reader

This handy SD card reader has made transferring photos from my camera to my phone so easy for times when I can't get to my computer. At under $30, I think this is something everyone should have in their camera bag.

Appointed Workbook

I've always been an avid list-maker and this year I went through two of these Appointed Workbooks. These are the perfect size, come with blank, lined, or graph paper, and is made with a bookcloth cover so it holds up really well.

New Balance Sneakers

I finally upgraded my sneakers this year and am obsessed with these New Balance ones. They are so comfortable and classic and I've had a few people ask if they were Allbirds. They come in thirty eight colors on Amazon so I might have to snag another pair for 2019.

Keds Triple Kick

I bought these platform Keds right before I went to New York City this summer and they have been my go-to shoes ever since. I walked miles in them all summer and love the platform look with jeans. 


Longchamp Le Pliage Backpack

Looking back at all of the trips I took in 2018, my Longchamp backpack was with me for nearly each one. This is the perfect bag for exploring a new city or toting around to go hands-free. I love that it folds up small so I can pack it in my suitcase and that it's water resistant and fits so much. I can fit my DSLR and a water bottle with plenty of room to spare.
