I can’t believe we’re halfway through the year already. It feels like just yesterday was January, and now we’re heading into the last month of summer with fall and the holidays right around the corner! In reflecting on the first half of this year, I thought it would be fun to gather my top 10 favorite items of 2024 so far. This list includes everything from bags and clothes to home goods and hair care!
Keep scrolling to see what we all loved in 2023!
My Favorite Purchases from 2024
Black Trouser Shorts
In all honesty, it makes me so happy that even *I* love my MAYSON clothes so much. I truly reach for these shorts weekly, if not multiple times a week. The fabric is perfectly breathable, making them such an easy wear no matter the occasion. This summer, I’ve been wearing them with sandals and sneakers, and come the fall and winter, I’ll be pairing them with tights and boots. They are extremely versatile and can be dressed up or worn casually depending on your personal style. I love that they’re classic and season-less!
Mini Anjou
I was obsessed over this bag from afar for a long time before I bought it. On a random trip to Dallas, I went into the Goyard store in Highland Park Village just to see which colors they had in stock. I figured they wouldn’t have the green, but they did so I took it as a sign that it was finally time to give in and get this bag. I have so many neutral handbags; it was time to add a pop of color to the mix, and this green is just so yummy in all the right ways. The size of the bag is perfect and holds the essentials (keys, phone, wallet, lipstick) with no problem. I adore this bag!
Belts
It seems I spent the first part of this year adding Khaite belts to my wardrobe. For a long time, I went belt-less (besides the Gucci belt frenzy we *all* took part in). But I now consider my Khaite belts to be the last crucial part of almost every outfit I wear. The belt truly completes the look, and Khaite belts are more than worth the investment. They’re so chic, so well-made, and instantly elevate your look without you really having to try.
This is what I use to keep them organized
Mandy Western Shacket
You guys have seen me wear and rave about this Pistola shacket for months now. I truly throw it over everything, any chance I get. It’s the perfect layering piece, and I love the western vibe of this updated style. The light wash denim makes it super versatile, and the fabric is fully sustainable. I take it with me to restaurants in case it’s cold and I need a quick layer and cannot wait to style it in the fall and winter!
Mini Evo Instant Film Camera
This was a totally spontaneous buy from Target that turned out to be gold! I love this camera so much for so many reasons. First, it doesn’t just automatically print polaroids — it stores all your pictures in a memory card so you can choose what pictures you want to instantly print! There’s also an accompanying app so you can instantly download digital versions and, last but not least, the camera has 10 different effects so you can filter your photos however you like! I’ve been having so much fun with this little camera; it’s a nice alternative to taking every single picture with my phone. I highly recommend grabbing one for fun! I added this beaded chain from Amazon to use as a wristlet.
Santos de Cartier
For my blogversary, I celebrated by purchasing this stunning Cartier watch that I wear every. Single. Day. The Santos de Cartier watch (medium size) features a steel case, 7-sided crown set with a faceted synthetic spinel, silvered opaline dial, steel sword-shaped hands, and sapphire crystal. It also comes with a second band in case you want to switch to a brown leather strap instead of the stainless steel. It’s quite an investment, but one you’ll have forever and be able to pass down if you take good care of it.
Underwire Bras
For so long now, I’ve been wearing wireless bralettes from Nordstrom and have sworn by them. While they’re super comfortable, I finally realized that they offer next to no support and, while I’m not big-chested by any means, I need more than a training bra. With that in mind, I ordered two new bras from the brand Negative to try and can’t believe I waited so long to upgrade my bras! I own both the Stealth Mode Demi Bra and the Glacé Baby Demi Bra, and while I love both, I find myself washing and re-wearing the Glacé most frequently. It has just the smallest amount of wire, no padding, is so comfortable, and fits like a glove. If you’ve been looking for the perfect minimalist bra, this is it. Add to cart IMMEDIATELY!
Mattress Pad
We’ve had a tempurpedic mattress for years now, and while I do really like it, it’s a little too firm for my preference. I finally found a mattress topper that provides the extra comfort I’ve been looking for, and it’s SO incredibly comfortable and soft. It’s been my best Amazon buy so far this year. Getting into bed every night was already amazing, but this has made it dreamy! I can’t recommend it enough to upgrade your sleep game.
Dry Shampoo
A dry shampoo in a loose setting powder format?! I was weirded out at first, too, but OMG — this stuff is incredible. Not only does it smell absolutely amazing (seriously, my hair can be 10 days dirty and people will comment on how good my hair smells), but the brush applicator makes all the difference. No more cans of spray — you can really control the application here, and the result is fluffy, fresh-looking hair that smells like you just washed it!
Mesh Ballet Flats
I got these because I couldn’t find the ALAIÄ flats anywhere. Turns out, these are a spot on comparison and WAY more affordable?! When I tell you these are the most comfortable shoes, I need you to trust me. Everyone doubts it, but I wish I could share all the messages I’ve received speaking to how much people love and are surprised by these shoes. I took my true size and didn’t need to break them in at all!
Most Popular Products of 2023
White T-shirt
The perfect white tee that keeps on giving, year after year! I’ve had this white tee for about 5 years now (I actually have multiple) and have shared it an embarrassing amount. I wear the small for fitted and the medium for relaxed. Wash in cold water and dry on low heat and it will look new for years (seriously no holes in any of mine). If you don’t already own this ATM white t-shirt, are you even a Fashion Jackson fan?!
Moka Quilted Parka
The Moka Quilted Down Long Parka by Moncler is the warmest, most worthy puffer coat out there. It keeps me feeling warm and secure in the coldest temperatures (like Telluride, where I wore it every day last year)! I love how this puffy parka is fitted/slimming without feeling constricting, and that I can layer it over chunky sweaters. I also love the slight sheen it has. It gets COLD in Tennessee and this has become my go-to for the winter months. I took my true size (2)!
574 Sneakers
You guys know how much I love sneakers. I mean LOVE. I’ve been loving my Converse & adidas sneakers, but the New Balance 574s are so great! Comfort is key and these are insanely comfortable. Under $100 and the perfect sneaker to go with all your spring/summer/fall/winter looks. Truly. I always travel with these sneakers since they go with basically everything! I took my true size in the grey/white combo.
90's Pinch Waist High Rise Straight Jeans
Truly the most perfect jeans. I’ve had these for 3(?) years now and wear them probably more than any other pair. You guys definitely loved them too as they were the #1 purchased item this year. I love a rigid denim and the fit of these is just so good. They are 100% cotton (no stretch), but they will relax with wear. They make for the perfect business casual jeans too since they are a clean finish without any rips. I will say, if you haven’t tried AGOLDE yet, you are missing out. My advise is to order a few sizes and see what fit you prefer. Everyone likes their denim to fit a little different, and I typically buy 2 sizes to see which I prefer. These also made the list of my favorite jeans and packing essentials.
The True Body Triangle Convertible Strap Bralette
These triangle bralettes I wear by True & Co from Nordstrom are quite literally the only bras I wear. I just have no desire to continue searching for the perfect bra because, for me personally, this is it. I have a small chest, so I don’t need much support and these convertible bralettes do exactly what I need them to. No wires, no elastic, no seams—they’re the best!
Ballet Turtleneck Bodysuit
I honestly don’t know how I dressed myself for so long without having this bodysuit in my life. I’ve shared it as one of my personal favorite purchases in 2022 and I’m so happy to see how many of you fell in love with it too! I have 3 now bc I wear them SO often. It’s literally the perfect layering piece for fall/winter AND looks chic worn solo. It works with jeans, leather pants, joggers, and trousers. It’s like the unicorn of tops. And this is truly the only bodysuit I’ve worn that doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a bodysuit. Trust me you will love it.
Camel Wrap Coat
My name isn’t Amy and this isn’t Fashion Jackson if I didn’t offer a classic camel coat via my clothing line, MAYSON the label. A luxe essential layer for cooler fall and winter days, the Cashmere Blend Double-Faced Wrap Coat is made in a supersoft mix of cashmere and wool fibers that offer lightweight warmth. The unlined silhouette & raglan sleeve layers beautifully without adding bulk over blazers and sweaters, and makes a perfect topper for balmier destinations. I’m 5’10 and wear a size small.
Caprice Heel
If I had a penny for every time I wore these sandals this year…These sandals are so sleek and look amazing with all silhouettes. I wear with trousers, jeans, dresses, shorts, skirts. Really everything. And I feel like I wear both the black and beige equally. They are a great alternative to a designer style that is about 9x the price, love that for us. I 100% will be wearing these into the spring/summer season. I took my true size and you should too.
Recycled Leather Fitted '90s Pants
These AGOLDE recycled leather fitted ‘90s pants have been my go-to during the late fall months for a few years now. I love dressing them up for date nights, but I’ve also been known to wear them with my converse sneakers for a casual style! Featuring a classic straight-leg cut, these AGOLDE pants have a more relaxed feel than your usual leather pants. They are comfortable, warm, and can easily elevate an outfit. Because of leather’s natural non-stretch, I’d size up.
Vented Brush
$90 for a hair brush seems steep, I know, but believe me when I say this brush is MAGIC. Not only is the Yves Durif Vented Brush heat resistant, anti-static, and light as air, but it’s also handmade in Italy with natural rubber resin and carbon fiber. I’ve tried a lot of hair brushes over the years, and this is a detangling tool dream come true. It will truly change the blow drying game for you! You can read more about it in my beauty favorites here!
My Personal Favorites from 2023
Camel Boyfriend Blazer
When I first had the idea to launch my own clothing line, I new a camel blazer was going to be my #1 must have. This boyfriend fit blazer is perfect for the relaxed menswear-inspired silhouette. The shoulders are slightly extended and sleeves a little longer to give it the boyfriend style. I took my true size small (fits size 4/6) but because this style has a generous fit, you could size down for a closer fit. The fabric is luxe and this will 100% be an item I will have in my closet forever. More ways to style this closet staple here.
Samba Sneakers
If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you know my love for sneakers is strong. I’ve been wearing this exact pair of adidas white sambas for about a year now, but truthfully I was wearing them back in middle school (in black)! All styles/trends do come back around. I love that they really go with everything. If you look back to some of my recent looks, you’ll find I wear these sneakers more than any other pair right now. I am normally a women’s US 8 in sneakers and got the men’s US 7 for these, they fit perfect.
Large Park N/S Leather Tote Bag
While I’ve had my Goyard tote since 2017, I mentioned in this reel I wanted an alternative and had my eye on this one by The Row for a while. There is nothing wrong with my Goyard, I just wanted to have a little variety. I’m so happy with my decision. The leather is gorgeous and the tote is actually very spacious! I can fit my 16″ laptop, Bottega Teen Jodie, and another small pouch no problem. I’ve used it a few times for travel now and it’s quite comfortable to carry. It does come in a few other colors; I love this darker neutral shade and this black suede one is stunning.
Gold Drop Earrings
I started added more statement jewelry to my assortment this year, changing it up from my classic studs. These waterdrop, gold-plated earrings are exactly that—the perfect statement earrings. They go with everything, instantly elevate your look, very lightweight, and are barely over $10! What’s not to love? I also bought in silver because I was wearing the gold so much.
Black Slingbacks
I got these sligbacks in the summer and was pleasantly surprised at how much I wore them. The are SO comfortable, under $150 and look great with different silhouettes. I’ve worn with shorts, trousers, and jeans! These will definitely be a closet staple I’ll be wearing into 2024.
Teen Jodie
Safe to say this bag was worn/used 99% of 2023. This is probably the best example I have of finding holes and you closet and shopping for the right item. I had my eye on this bag for about 6 months prior to purchasing. I took a mental note every time I was styling an outfit thinking I wish I had the BV. I finally got it in Feb of 2023 and used it nearly every day. Its truly the perfect bag. I was between the small and the teen, but the small didn’t feel comfortable on my shoulder with coats, and I always wanted to be able to take it from day to night. The teen is perfect for me. I could probably write and entire blog post dedicated to this bag, maybe I should. 100000% worth it in my opinion. Check out my handbag collection here.
90s Mid Rise Straight Jeans
Another year, another pair of AGOLDE jeans to become obsessed with. Yes my usual 90s jeans were (are ?) my go-to, however last fall when I was updating my denim guide, I grabbed a few more pairs from Shopbop and these quickly made it to my #2. I just LOVE the relaxed live-in fit of these. Again, they are 100% cotton, so zero stretch, but they relax and wear so well. Highly recommend.
Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Earbuds
I have never liked Apple earbuds. They aren’t comfortable and I don’t think they are noise cancelling? I’d have to look into it more. However, I was at the airport and realized I forgot my B&O headphones and was in a pinch. I ran to the tech store and asked for the most comfortable earbuds that are noise cancelling. I was showing these and purchased immediately (didn’t have much time to spare). As soon as I got on my flight I couldn’t believe what I WASN’T hearing. They really cancel out all the noise. Plus they come with 8 different earpiece attachments so you can get the best and most comfortable fit. Also the charge lasts so long. I really think I’ve only charged maybe 3-4 times and I’ve had for at least 6 months.
Men's Grey Sweatshirt
The amount of times I worn this sweatshirt; its probably time to order a few more as back up. I kept borrowing Will’s sweatshirts and finally decided to just order my mens sweatshrit. I found this grey Hanes one on Amazon and I truly LIVE. IN. IT. I got a medium so it would be oversized, but really I think a large would be the BEST fit for me. I’m 5’10 and want it to be a little longer. There is nothing special about this. Its just a cozy grey mens sweatshirt for under $20, but its the best money I’ve spent on Amazon haha.
Shearling Moroccan Slipper
I’ve been wearing Jenni Kayne slippers since 2018 and they are hands down the best. I have a few of the ivory (one for home, one for travel), but this year I decided to get a second pair for the house in the smoke color. Safe to say I still love them. They are so incredibly soft and plush and it’s like walking on clouds. I have given these as gifts before because they are that good.
