As we round out this year’s Look Back Week, I am looking forward today to sharing with you some of my personal favorite purchases of the entire year. It’s always an endeavor to look back at what I purchased, where I invested and what brands I came back to time and time again.
In 2024 I continued to really prioritized investment purchases that I would wear again and again and use again and again. It is safe to say you will no doubt be seeing all these pieces repeatedly this year.
Things I Bought and Loved – 2024
Dorsey Link Bracelet
This was the year I really got into jewelry. I made some key investments in pieces that felt elevated, special and very wearable. This link bracelet was a favorite purchase of mine. It feels like a vintage time piece. I have the 6.5 in.
Dorsey Tennis Necklace
I wore this necklace constantly (18 in) last year. It’s the perfect subtle sparkle you can dress up or dress down.
Other Dorsey bestsellers with you guys this year included these earrings, these earrings that are such stunners and this tennis bracelet I own.
See more favorites & how I have styled them in my Dorsey Jewelry Review.
One Piece Swimsuit
What a find this swimsuit was. It is so flattering on and really well made. I brought it on every trip I went on in 2024!
Tuckernuck Chloe Dress
Such a versatile, stylish and timeless dress. Now with loads of colors to choose from. I own the Navy, too.
I wear the size L.
Frank & Eileen Linen Set*
I was thrilled to work with Frank & Eileen for the first time last year to style and share favorite pieces of their high quality collection. This linen set was a favorite for sure and I wore it all summer long atop swimsuits.
Saint Laurent Manhattan Bag
This bag had been on my list for a while and when I was in Italy for vacation I spotted this brand new color and decided to bite the bullet. I love that it doubles as a clutch, too and the color was unlike anything I had in my bag collection.
La Ligne Solid Lean Lines Sweater*
Given the La Ligne Lean Lines Sweater is one of my top two most worn sweaters, when they released a solid version last year I scooped it up in black and ivory. I wear the L.
Code MEGHAND10 will get you 10% off your first La Ligne Order. Don’t miss my La Ligne Sweaters Review.
Gap Camisole
Given I have a larger chest, I find that wearing a camisole under many tops and especially sweaters let them sit more smoothly and so many camisoles…well, are awful. This one, however, is great.
Veja Sneakers
I liked these so much I bought them in two color ways. A nice change from Adidas Sambas for a sporty sneaker.
J.Crew Stevie Ankle Boots
A wonderful, comfortable ankle boot I was so happy to wear all Fall long.
J.Crew Top Handle Edie Bag
This cutie little bag is the perfect ladylike bag.
Lululemon Like a Cloud Sports Bra
So comfortable and yet supportive. A favorite sports bra I tried last year.
Vuori Canyon Insulated Jacket*
I love my Vuori pieces so much and got this jacket as part of one of my Vuori collabs last year. It got so much wear! I’m wearing the M.
EBY High Waisted Thongs
These no-slip, uber comfortable, excellent-under-clothing thongs are wonderful. I wear the regular thongs, too on repeat.
Sezane Basket Bag
I got so.much.use out of this tote! It fits a lot and is just so versatile to style all summer long. The dual straps make it extra handy – especially for when you’re traveling with it.
Margaux Ankle Wrap Sandals
I wore these sandals non.stop last year! They are crazy comfortable and just so elegant. I like that they dress up any look. I’m hopeful they’ll release a matte black for this coming’s sandal season!
Spanx Air Essentials
The Spanx AirEssentials Zip Up and these AirEssentials pants are a great fabric (so much so my family all commented on it when they hugged me upon arrival to Christmas after my flight!) Cozy yet cool and comfy.
I have a M in both.
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Half Zip*
A most worn sweater for me last year – particularly when I want to be cozy and warm. Wearing a M.

Jenni Kayne Saturday Sweatshirt + Saturday Sweatpants
The most perfect comfy yet elevated sweatset. The set is made from a unique French terry that’s based on a vintage Japanese fabric that boasts a looser knit for an ultra-soft feel. I loooove it.
I’m wearing a size M in both top and bottom.
Jenni Kayne Amelia Cashmere Crewneck*
I’ve worn this non stop since getting it. It’s the perfect oversized knit. I’ve worn it with trousers like above but also belted with a slip skirt. It’s also great with leggings for winter travel days. I love how warm it is and how luxe it feels. I sized down to a S.
(Also got so much wear out of these Toteme silk pants my friend Whitney and I each bought when shopping together in Paris! Saved a lot of $$ by buying them overseas!)
Diptyque Narguile Candle
This was an impulse purchase at the CDG Duty Free and I fell in love with its spicy yet sweet aroma that’s so good in winter in particular.
M.M.LaFleur Janette Blazer*
As part of my 2024 collaborations with M.M.LaFleur I got this beautiful ponte blazer that is ideal for travel but also is the perfect little blazer you can dress up or dress down. I’m wearing the size 6 with my all-time favorite washable silk tank from the brand (size M).
Pura Smart Diffuser*
I loved my first one so much I got in a gift bag at an event I went on to get two more to have them all over my house! A game changer for having a wonderful smelling home without candles. I adore the various scent options and that you can set schedules for each room and each scent! It’s such fun.
Reformation Cynthia Jeans
I owned these since 2023 but really fell in love with them in 2024 and wore them so much – always getting questions when I posted them in an outfit. They are very fitted through the waist and hips and then have a great straight leg. I’m 5’5″ and didn’t have to hem them. I did size up though by at least one size as I find Ref’s denim to run very, very small. Wearing a 29.
Agolde Ren Jeans
Another favorite denim find of 2024 – the new Agolde Ren style. I got the white first then went onto to buy two additional washes. A cool wide leg but not *too* wide leg jean. Wearing a size 28.
Lunya Pajamas*
My go-to pajamas for trips all spring/summer/fall long. They roll up to take up next to no space and the washable silk is so comfy and soft while also washing beautifully time after time. I have the size M.
Chanel Card Case
When I saw this chocolate brown card case I had to get this little treat. I’ve had all my cards it in ever since and it feels special and is a nice memory from my October Paris trip last year.
Manu Atelier Le Cambon Bag
This bag was following me around on Instagram so I pre-ordered it from the new-to-me brand and I have to say – it is so gorgeous. Designer for under $800 and truly just beautiful quality. It makes any outfit I pair it with and can’t wait to wear it more in the coming months.
Veronica Beard Daniela Jeans*
One of my favorite investment brands, in 2024 I added several of their very special jackets to my collection and these great straight leg jeans that I’ve gotten so much wear out of (wearing a size 28).
Aeyde Boots
One of my most worn boots of the past few months and definitely a favorite shoe purchase of the year.
Leset Margo Tee
I am always trying out tees because I think finding great ones is very hard (especially when you have a larger chest!) This one in a size L was a great addition to my basics collection.
Paige Billy Crop Jeans
These jeans felt made for me! I love the fit, the fabric and how versatile they are to wear. My most worn jean of 2024 likely. Wearing a 28.
La Ligne Ben Sweater*
This is one of those magic sweaters you have to see to believe. It’s great layered (seen wearing it above) but also the perfect weight for layering over your shoulders for summer styles or topping over a dress or tank. I sized up to a L as it is quite fitted.
The V neck version is on my list for 2025. (I’m not usually a v-neck fan but this one is quite high which I think would work for me!)
Kilte Knit Set
This set from Kilte blew away my expectations. It’s way more luxe in person and oh-so-comfy and yet put together. Wearing a size 2. Better yet? It is machine washable cashmere!
Wearing with my fav Adidas Gazelle sneakers that were another fav purchase of 2024 that got so much wear.
Celine Western Belt
I wore belts more than ever last year and when I saw this belt in France I grabbed it right away and went on to buy it in black, too. It is beautifully made and really striking in person. Simple, yet striking. It’s something I know I’ll have and wear forever.
(The new python version looks stunning!!)
Waimari Dress
A favorite investment label for very special feeling dresses – this one made me feel like a million bucks. Wearing the size L – and it is 50% off rn!
Ring Concierge Illusion Studs*
These studs arrived and basically haven’t left my ears. Each stud showcases one princess-cut diamond and four marquise-cut diamonds so they create the illusion of a generous round diamond stud. This style is next on my wish list.
(I also finally bought the diamond pinky ring I’ve been wanting during their holiday sale and she’s beautiful!!)
Emme Parsons Sandals
The perfect barely-there strappy sandal from a brand I splurged on last year and went on to buy another different pair on Black Friday, too. I love the quality and timelessness of this brand’s designs.
Parachute Home Bath Sheets
One of my small pet peeves is too-small-bath-towels. As someone who spends a lot of time in hotels, I truly hate when you feel you can’t wrap a towel fully around you getting out of the shower. So last year I set out to find super soft, super cozy and super big “bath sheets”. These are PERFECTION. Can’t recommend them enough.
Apparis Blanket*
A cozy, double-faced blanket I can’t stop crawling under. The quality is so nice of this blanket.
Faherty Linen Pants*
These pants are so great! I was pumped to try the Faherty brand for the first time and was super happy with what I ordered so I signed up to work with them on this fun campaign! The linen quality is excellent.
