Recently I posted a poll on Instagram asking if everyone would rather see an Amazon favorites post or a new recipe! Clearly you can tell what the winner was by this post.
Amazon has ranked as the top retail e-commerce company for 2020 which is not shocking. It is easily my favorite place to shop because it makes products so accessible, has a variety of things you could ever need and things you didn’t know you needed, and the benefits of being a Prime member is amazing.
As I was making a list of all of my favorite Amazon finds, I realized I shop on Amazon… a lot! So I am going to create a new category on my blog specifically for Amazon Finds because if I list all of my favorites in this one post I will never have an ending.
To make your experience a little easier, click on the links below to be directed to that section of the post:
CLOTHING
Since it is currently Fall and transitioning into Winter, that is what this category is going to be mainly focused on.
Dresses
I needed a dress for graduation on the 14th, so instead of going to local boutiques I decided to look on Amazon. I found this Cocktail Long Sleeve Backless Mock Wrap Knit Sweater Mini Dress in black and a V-Back Lace Cocktail Dress in black/white. Both recommended different sizes so I ordered both dresses praying one would fit perfect. I was blessed that the recommended sizes were spot-on for both. I am wearing the lace dress for graduation with some black chunky heels I got from Torrid and the wrap knit dress for my graduation party!
This Belle Poque Black Evening Dress that is off the shoulder was another contender for graduation, but I have a similar one with fitted bell sleeves so it stayed in my save for later. It looks to be fitted, but made to accentuate the right curves, and comes in 23 colors. The reviews look promising for it too at 4.5 stars!
Sets
I have been obsessed with the Knit Sweater and matching Biker Shorts Sets lately. I currently have this set in my cart in khaki. It comes in 14 colors and would be so cute with chunky sneakers and a crossbody to run errands in or go shopping. In Louisiana, the weather is so unpredictable that the sweater/short combo is perfect to wear.
Tops/Sweaters/Coats
If you are feeling sweater season, this Striped Color Block Knitted Sweater has all of the Fall/Winter feels. It is a crew neck style white sweater with thick black stripes and thin tan ones in between. It is very simple, but could easily be a closet staple when used under different cardigans, or with different pants and booties.
If you want the sweater feel without the sleeves, then check out this Sleeveless Waffle Knit Twist Top. I have it in my cart in three different colors because it looks like something I would keep on rotation in my closet.
This Long Sleeve Pink Cardigan is giving me such cozy vibes right now with the popcorn material AND it has… pockets!!! That makes anything a winner in my book. I saved it because comfy and oversized are two words definitely in my love language. It comes in multiple colors and patterns for any look.
These Turtleneck Sweaters look more like mocknecks. They are long-sleeved and are loosely knitted. Im not sure if it is the fall festivities or the cup of coffee in the model’s hand that are pulling me in, but I have this sweater in three different colors of the 17 offered saved to my cart. They have great reviews and seem to be great quality.
This Shaggy Cardigan is easy to obsess over. It also comes in 7 colors and is not super thick, but will keep you warm.
This cardigan is extremely soft and has pockets. It is a longer cardigan, and comes in 12 colors.
I have a knit poncho that I absolutely love, but it isn’t really useful for dressy occasions. This Open Front Poncho, however, is so sleek and professional but can easily be paired with jeans and a dressy crossbody for a day out shopping. It is tan and black with a geometric pattern and has a loop for pulling the other side of the poncho through. It is available in multiple colors and styles.
Bottoms
I waited around 3 months for these cotton drawstring sweat shorts to arrive because they were in such high demand and (of course) Covid. I have two more colors in my cart because I am absolutely obsessed. They are my go-to pair of shorts for sleeping, shopping, relaxing, whatever. I basically live in them.
These Faux Leather Shorts are perfect for pairing with a sweater tucked in the front and knee high boots!
SHOES
I love shopping on here for Matt. I had gotten a pair of Chelsea boots for him last Christmas in brown to go with some other clothes and a jacket I got from Belk. He loves them and they are his go-to’s for events because they’re so nice and comfortable. I can’t list what I got him this year until after Christmas, but I know he’s going to be obsessed.
These Black Snakeskin Booties are everything and the slit on the side gives it an extra little pop of personality and helps elongate the leg! Following the link you will find 19 different textures and colors of this style bootie.
These Over-the-Knee Boots are gorgeous! They come in multiple colors and heel heights, have the option of a zipper in the back, an elastic band, or a lace up closure.
Let. Me. Tell. You. About. These. Slippers. They are so comfy, fluffy, and well made. I have never been a slipper person because I stay hot and I thought I was going to hate how fluffy these were for that reason. I was wrong. I get up in the morning, slip these on, and go about my day. I wore them to get ready for Savannah and Mason’s wedding, died at the ceremony, and put them right back on for the reception.
These Rhinestone Glitter Slides were so cute. I was skeptical from the online images, but in person these looked amazing. Mom wore them to the reception following Savannah and Mason’s wedding.
**Summer Find: I’m not sure at what point these foam comfort slides became a thing, but I’m thankful. I got them in white for days I wanted comfortable sandals but didn’t want to risk messing up my Birks. You name the place and I was probably wearing these sandals there over the Summer. They held up well and the dirt wiped off easily.
As a graduation present, mom ordered me On Cloud tennis shoes for my new career as an RN. She ordered them from their site, but Amazon does carry them in a variety of colors and styles.
JEWELRY
I am obsessed with these 30mm 14K yellow gold lightweight chunky open hoops. They feel like amazing quality, and I have worn them often without any signs of them turning. They also come in white gold and rose gold.
Bracelets easily make an outfit feel complete. A watch on one wrist with a bracelet and a stack on the other wrist brings balance to me. I have a couple of bolo bracelets I found at a local boutique that I love. I decided to peak on amazon and see what other ones I could find. This Ross Simons 3 ct. CZ in 14kt Yellow Gold is stunning and comes with an optional warranty. This cute gold beaded one has a box chain and also comes in silver.
This Chunky Gold Link Chain Necklace/Bracelet Set has large oval chain links and is a perfect choker to add to any look. It is thick and glossy, nickel and lead free, and hypoallergenic.
I have been loving the new trendy card necklaces with initials. This is a gold plated one with a 22 inch chain and less expensive than I have found in boutiques.
This 12 piece set of layered dainty necklaces is perfect for stacking with higher end necklaces for a fashionable look. The reviews show 4 stars too which is really promising.
This Dainty Layered Cross Necklace is 14k gold plated, has tiny beads on the shortest strand, and is easy to layer with other necklaces for how tiny the cross is.
A pendant necklace is the perfect addition to any outfit, and this 18k gold plated Dainty Pendant Necklace is everything you need. It features a tiny heart in the center, is nickel and lead free, hypoallergenic, and actually a handmade carved piece.
On the topic of pendant necklaces, I love this Chunky Link Chain Medallion Necklace that comes in either silver or gold. It is not dainty like other pieces I listed, making it a great statement piece to layer dainty ones with or even stand alone.
This Joelle Jewelry 100% Sterling Silver Name Necklace has 15 fonts to choose from. It is important to note that it will come in silver as the first photo they display is the script in gold. I just love the look of the name plate necklaces with simple day-to-day outfits.
ACCESSORIES
2 Pack of Leather Belts: These belts have a double o-ring buckle and I got them in Black and Tan! They’re a little bigger than I expected so if you’re between sizes I recommend sizing down.
This black crossbody bag is so sleek and has YSL vibes without the YSL price tag. The company selling it on Amazon is Aldo and many of their products sell out fast so scoop items up when you can and keep an eye out for good finds.
I had originally gotten this Felt Purse Organizer for Christmas to give my mom this year, but her purse stressed me out way too much that I gave it to her soon after it arrived this summer. I ordered her the large slender one that comes in two pieces to customize how much storage you need. She cracks me up when she literally pulls it out of her purse to run in a store to help lighten the load because it holds so much stuff. It comes in 5 different sizes to fit whatever you need.
These Square Cat Eye Sunglasses look so stylish. I read that they feel very lightweight which is expected for the price point, but they hold up well and make a statement. They come in 8 colors, but I personally like the sleekness of the black best.
This Felt Fedora Hat with a wide brim comes in 6 colors and makes me want to create an outfit around it. The one in my cart is a tan that looks more of a camel with a thin black strap.
This White Fedora with Tan Strap comes in many colors and is also available in men’s and women’s sizes. The price varies, but it is definitely worth checking out. A big thing right now is the hats with a patterned fabric around the brim. A way to achieve this look without having to buy all new hats is to get hair scarves in different patterns and tie them around the hat and hide the knot. Here is another hair scarf option that I like better.
BEAUTY
These Gold Brightening Vitamin C Foil Masks were bought for a spa night for Savannahs Golden Birthday Bach Trip and come in packs of 10.
These Reusable Makeup Remover Pads can be washed up to 1000 times and come with a mesh washing bag.
Lilly Lashes has taken over as one of the top fake eyelash companies. These Cruelty-Free False Lashes are the perfect dupe for Lilly Lashes.
This Hair Scalp Massager is a necessity! I mean it. A necessity. The silicone tips just make my hair feel so much cleaner after a shower, my nail polish lasts longer, and it feels like a spa every time I wash my hair. Obsessed.
I thought these No Crease Hair Clips were the most gimmicky thing when they came out. My hair creases from a breeze blowing, but I still decided to try these clips out. I am so happy I did. I got the 50pc. container because I am prone to losing everything and they come with 5 different colors. My hair actually does not crease from these and its so nice to be able to clip my hair back when doing makeup, or when I blow dry my hair I use it to help the roots cool while lifted without leaving creases near the scalp.
This Paddle Wetbrush is so soft and flexible. I love the venting capabilities of it for blowdrying my hair. I have always been “tender headed” since I was a kid and I feel like I can easily brush my hair without wanting to just shave it all off using this brush.
I know this technically isn’t a beauty product, but it is used in that category so it is where I am listing it. This 10″ ring light comes with a large adjustable tripod, a small tripod to set on a table, and a clicker to take selfies. The light has 3 color options and the brightness is adjustable.
I quickly lose my tan, so I frequently use self tanner. I would yell for my mom to come in and do my back and dreaded the day I would live on my own and go around with a streaky back from failed attempts to do it myself. I ordered this Back Lotion Applicator and I love it. It is so easy to use and doesn’t streak.
TRAVEL
After getting my mom a Vera Bradley door hanger organizer as a birthday present to take on her beach trip I began looking for myself a similar one. After searching I found this grey and white hanging toiletry bag I ordered for my own beach trip. This one had a deep pocket on one side for toiletries with a few little zipper pockets and on the other side is a shallow compartment for jewelry. If you would like a prettier cosmetic organizer, check out this multi-colored one!
Savannah got some travel packing cubes that I love, so of course I had to go put some in my cart. These Cream Travel Packing Cubes come in a set of 6 and are available in 10 colors.
Travel size makeup wipes are a must to keep on you when vacationing because you never know when you’ll have the time to dig through all of your bags to find the large pack of them. This set of 20 individually packaged wipes are great to keep in your purse or carry-on.
I have started using silicone and metal straws in recent years to avoid waste and to do my part for the planet. When traveling however, carrying a full size straw can be awkward and unsanitary. Portable reusable straws solve this problem. This cute blush one has a keychain clip and cleaner, and a silicone tip. This set of 12 silicone straws come with small carrying pouches and cleaners.
This Relavel Makeup Train Case Cosmetic Organizer comes in multiple colors and sizes. This one is a large size so not for packing into a suitcase, but comes with an optional strap to carry it on the shoulder.
EXERCISE/OUTDOORS
I love working out, even though I don’t particularly look like it at the moment. When I finally took the leap to try Sweet Sweat Coconut Gel I was hooked. I do recommend getting the Sweet Sweat Waist Trimmer or other wraps they offer for the arms or legs to wear over the gel because it does get on clothes and if you use a yoga mat you will be sliding all over the place. The amount of sweat that pours off me in streams once I remove the wrap however is so satisfying and worth it.
These Ring Floats with Mesh Bottoms is my absolute must-have for the beach. They are so relaxing, not bulky, and easily go over the waves… I mean I could literally go on forever about these rings.
As part of his gift for Mason’s Honey-do, Matt ordered these Giant Wooden Yard Dice. They look so fun and delivered next day.
PARTIES/DECORATIONS
If you want to give goodie bags out, these clear treat bags come with 100 bags and 100 metallic twists. They are 4″x6″ but they list other available size options and quantities.
I love that so many of my friends are having kids & I love the teething pacifier clips so much I bought one in pink and another in grey to gift.
HOME
In General
Candles are a must, especially during cozy season. This Chesapeake Bay Scented Candle in Peace + Tranquility is calling my name. I don’t know about you, but I could use more peace and tranquility in 2020!
Decorative books have become my new interest. This Kate Spade New York: All In Good Taste hardcover book is a cute pink without looking like bubblegum. On Netflix I recently became obsessed with the show, The Home Edit (which is why I decided to name one of my pages Home Editing). These two books are theirs. The Home Edit: A Guide to Organizing and Realizing Your House Goals in paperback and The Home Edit Life: The No-Guilt Guide to Owning What You Want and Organizing Everything in hardcover.
Kitchen
Matt had mentioned wanting new kitchen utensils one night while we were cooking dinner so I got online reading reviews of products on Amazon. I found these Silicone Cooking Utensils with Wooden Handles in mint green. It was a 12 piece set including a container for the utensils.
Bodum Cold Brew Coffee Maker: I am obsessed with coffee. I blame my GiGi who started me out young when she would dip my pacifier in her coffee. I got this 51oz. one in Jet Black. It comes with a solid lid for refrigerating it and another one with the French press plunger on it for pouring your coffee. Amazon does offer this cold brew maker that makes one quart of coffee and holds the grounds in a separate compartment for easy removal.
One thing I have on my “irks my nerves” list is when you have a glass that is too narrow to get your hand in to clean the bottom good. This Redecker Coconut Fiber Dish Brush with Untreated Beachwood Handle solves that problem. Amazon offers other tools in these materials if you want to create your own set.
I am not an amazing cook, but I have been in the kitchen enough to know Cuisinart isn’t one to make bad products. This 15 piece knife set comes in black or white with a wooden knife block. On the topic of kitchen, let me drop you this link to this Rachael Ray Ceramic Olive Oil Dispenser. I have the 24 oz. one in my cart in blue and also in gray for when I decide what I want to do with my home.
This Dry Food Dispenser is perfect for cereal, can be single or duo, and comes in four different colors!
The Self-Sealing and Self-Changing 4 Gallon Trash Can is amazing. It has an automatic lid, seals and changes the bag, is rechargeable and holds its charge for up to one month, and is literally just the coolest thing ever. I never thought I would be the person to get excited over a trashcan but here I am.
Bedroom
This Bedside Lamp/Wireless Charger has 3 touch-controlled light settings and can charge your phone and watch. It is definitely a more sleek/modern take on a bedside lamp.
I needed more storage on my dresser so I ordered this Carousel Vanity Organizer, which is a nice way of saying a cosmetic lazy susan. It has adjustable levels and was easy to assemble. I also got these Stackable Cosmetic Organizer Drawers . The drawers are just single compartments so if you want to organize them for tiny things I recommend getting dividers. I use mine for large tubes/compacts of makeup that are easy to stack and Sparky’s bandanas so dividers weren’t necessary for me.
On the topic of acrylic items, this Acrylic Tissue Box, Cotton Ball/Swab Holder with Lid , and this Set of 3 Jars are perfect for wanting functionality in a space without compromising the aesthetic.
In a previous post I listed everything I got from Amazon for my room. This Sackcloth Stackable Jewelry Trays Organizer Set with Clear Lid is everything I did not know I needed. I love it. It is so easy to just lift the layers off and get what want and I love the clear lid that shows off my statement earrings and rings. Like the stackable organizer, I talked about this Trigem Hanging Organizer in a previous post. It has a solid heavy white bottom and gold T-bars for hanging necklaces.
Whether you are an Amazon Alexa fan or Google Home lover, these wifi outlets are for you. They do not require a hub, are remote controlled, and come in a 3 pack.
This Flannel Fleece Throw Blanket looks to have taken inspiration from the Barefoot Dreams throw that can be found at Dillards. This one comes in 5 patterns, but the grey leopard and brown leopard are my favorites.
RANDOM/GADGETS
Did you know you can print photos on Amazon for literally a few cents? Type in Amazon prints and get started. Here is a link to make it easier for you.
These Horizontal Lazy Glasses are the perfect gift for that person who loves weird things but has everything. You can lay flat in bed and have your vision directed 90 degrees to view the tv or a book without having to move your head.
A Year of Us: A Couples Journal is something mom ordered for Savannah and Mason and I think its amazing. It is just one question a day meant to “spark fun and meaningful conversations.”
I know Matt’s son loves puzzles and he is so smart, so I decided to challenge him and get him a 1000 piece puzzle of the USA Jupiter Mission. I thought it was pretty cool and he loved it so I call it a win.
Privacy is a must and this Webcam Cover helps you achieve that without having to stick tape on your camera. This has a slider that allows you to have access to your camera when you are on Zoom or FaceTime and then easily close it when you are just scrolling..
This Silicone Loofah is a great way to scrub without holding onto bacteria and it comes in multiple colors and quantities.
This Confidential Roller Stamp is great if you don’t have a shredder. It conceals any information you do not want accessible to others when throwing out items.
This Putty Slime Detailer may be the coolest way to remove dust from the car. Amazon offers other colors besides this green, like this blue one.
This Car Trunk Organizer has tie down straps, multiple expandable compartments, and is made of durable Oxford fabric.
I am terrified of getting stuck on bridges. I have this scene that plays over and over in my head of the bridge collapsing and not being able to get out of the car because my seatbelt is locked or I can’t break the window. Obviously I am not the only one with this fear because some amazing person made this Car Safety Hammer that comes with a strap to keep it secure, an escape hammer for breaking glass, and a seat belt cutter.
I know this was a long one so if you made it to the end you are appreciated! I have soooo many other items saved and purchased I cannot wait to share with you. Be watching my social media to know when I have made a new post!
XoXo, Mads
