Best of 2016

Today’s post is all about the best of the best: home, fashion, and beauty!

Envoy Hotel Boston rooftop

(Come back tomorrow for the Best of 2016: Travel edition!) I’m recapping what I consider the best of the year.

Best of Home

Best new home decor item would have to go to this print. It’s a nod to my Southern side of the family. And let’s be honest here, I just like cake.

Eat More Cake Y'all Print

I branched out this year with my Thanksgiving tablescape, though my Easter table was my favorite of the year!

white and gold china

P.S. My favorite #crazydoglady picture has to be this one. Note Sprout on the couch under his own photo.

Best of Beauty

The best budget beauty products I bought this year:
(I can’t say enough about this topcoat! It makes a huge difference!)

Fashion

Best shirt goes to this tunic. It’s so good that I have now purchased it in 4 colors and can’t stop talking about it. Or wearing it. Or posting it on Instagram. #guilty

white tunic shirt for spring under $30Best handbag goes to this bad boy. It holds all of my stuff but looks tidy because of its structure. Plus, I just love the color of it! (similar bags here)

nautical stripes and navy Michael Kors handbag

blue cold shoulder top

The best new monogrammed item I bought in 2016 goes to this bikini top.

I also added a new favorite blanket scarf this year – and bonus points for being able to add a monogram!

Some other “best buys” of the year:
