My Must-Haves

A few weeks ago I posted about the Free People Ottoman Tunic – naming it as sincerely, one of my favorite things on earth, and something I find myself reaching for weekly during the winter months here in Pittsburgh. That kind of spun into an idea about posting my favorite things – things I find myself washing weekly and/or using near daily. It took a few weeks but here we are! A few years ago I put together a gift guide for the girl who is hard to shop for… and this takes the place of that nicely!

  1. Athleta Conscious Crop: I have this in about 5 colors and I wear them constantly. There’s another option for larger cup size, but this is amazing for me and I love the cut of this top, paired with high waisted leggings.
  2. Align Leggings: I’ve tried a lot of leggings and these remain my absolute favorite, and absolutely worth the investment. I wash mine constantly, don’t bother air-drying, and they stand the test of time and HIIT/Barre classes… when they’re intended for yoga, so trust me… worth it! I sized up during pregnancy and they didn’t stretch out at all. I’ve heard there’s a shortage on these, so if you’re shopping for them, purchase now! 
  3. Nobull Knit Runners: I’ve tried a few pairs of the Nobull Runners and the Knit Runners remain my favorite. Perfect for running (my feet never hurt), and great for HIIT classes as well. The all white color was a fun purchase and I’ve used a Magic Eraser to keep them clean.
  4. Energy Bra: My go-to if I’m not in the Conscious Crop. Sometimes you need a legit sports bra and this one is perfect. Again, can be washed a million times.
  5. Ottoman Slouchy Tunic: again and again and again. This is worth the money. The Amazon Dupe is good but not as good.
  6. Easy Lulu Sweatshirts: I’ve found that these cropped sweatshirts are my absolute fave for errand-running and beyond.
  7. Washable Jackets: I don’t have this specific jacket but I have an older version that’s a heavy sweatshirt material. Great to toss on after a workout and something that’s washable but warm is critical for me.
  8. Balega Socks: In my mid-thirties I’ve discovered if I wear crappy socks to run, my feet will hurt. Cool! These are the best socks. I always ask for some for Christmas and they’re washed on a near constant basis as well.
  9. Fanny Pack: Listen I’m embarrassed about how often I wear my fanny pack but with three kids it’s so much easier to toss this baby on, across my chest, and go about my life with my fanny pack instead of a beautiful, expensive purse.
  10. Initial Earrings: Jeff got me initial earrings from a small business in California a few years ago and they are awesome. I wear them everyday. These aren’t the same brand as mine, but we can’t find it, so – these look amazing and not irritating.
  11. Align Shorts: It was the summer of bike shorts but I still find myself reaching for mine for indoor workouts at home. I size up one size from the Align Pants for these.
  12. Great Aerie Jammies (Top): I like that the pants are high waisted and I never find myself getting too hot in these. I sized up in the top as they do shrink a little.
  13. Great Aerie Jammies (Bottom)
  14. A fun, bright sweater: I have this sweater in a different color but I find myself wanting this lime green version. Great with jeans & sneakers or perfect with faux leather leggings and combat boots. Half tuck and go about your life. Easy and fashionable.
  15. Abercrombie Jeans: friends recently encouraged me to give Abercrombie denim a try, and the short length fits me perfectly. This particular fit is a personal favorite.
  16. Mini Uggs: my treat to myself this year, these were sold out all last year. These Uggs bring me great joy. I love that you can see a bit of ankle with these so you’re not one thick leg, and they’re still as comfy as ever.
  17. Golden Goose Sneakers: another guilty pleasure that I know people have strong feelings about. I’ll tell you this, I’ve never regretted a single GG purchase. They make me feel a little more hip about my life.
  18. Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer: When my skin wasn’t as nice, I didn’t love this product. Since I’ve been able to get my skin under control, it’s my go-to. Just enough to even out your skin and give you a nice finished look. It also has SPF, win-win.
  19. Easy, Comfy Bras: haven’t worn underwire in years and don’t plan to again, ever. These are comfy and the right price.
  20. Aviator Nation Sweat Set (Top): we sell these at Pure Barre Mt. Lebanon and I love them so much. An investment for sure, but there’s nothing better than a complete sweatsuit that has you feeling good and looking “complete”. I got my first set to wear home from the hospital after having Goldie and they’ve been in the wash weekly ever since. No shrinking, just perfect. You could easily wear the top with denim too.
  21. Aviator Nation Sweat Set (Bottoms)
  22. Our Place Always Pan: the best pan around. Non-stick and safe. Currently on sale for $99. Don’t wait! Makes an amazing gift as well!
  23. Daydreamer Tees: this brand of t-shirts is my absolute fave. Again, purchased after I had Goldie and I’ve been washing weekly ever since. I buy a size up for an oversized fit. Perfect for a half-tuck and works in a variety of settings. Easy to style. A bit less expensive than the Bing counterpart options.
  24. Cates Tee: my go-to easy cropped tee. I have a few of these and they pair perfectly with high-waisted leggings or jeans, and they’re also the perfect weight to wear under a sweatshirt or sweater.
  25. Dawn Powerwash: a bizarre thing to put on here but seriously has changed the game for me when it comes to dishwashing. They recently came out with a free and clear version that likely isn’t as clean as it should be, but it’s a great start until cleaner options come available. You just spray, wipe, then rinse… it got some serious stuff out of my Le Creuset the other night!
  26. All Bright C Serum: my daily love. I put this on before I moisturize and it wakes me up and brightens me up. If you haven’t tried, it’s the absolute best. Start small and work your way up in terms of use.
So that’s that! Did I miss anything? Probably! But these are my absolute faves right now. Hopefully this helps you, or your significant other, shop for Christmas!
