24 Favorites: Beauty and Fashion

Alright 2024 was a big beauty and fashion year for me! Let’s talk about some of my favorites!

1)Trader Joe’s Mini Tote Bags

My sister got me one of these and I love it- but I knew I would get more use out of it as a crossbody handbag- so I made them into crossbody handbags… and I love it!

2) Bag Charms

So I was obsessed this whole year basically with having a charm on my bag - I think my favorites are the mystery plush danglers in the mystery packs… and my favorite of the year I think was the Beetlejuice one!

3) Pocket Watch Necklace

I had been looking for a watch necklace all year- but I was a little picky with the ones on Etsy and I found one at the Philadelphia Christmas Market that was perfect. It looks good either side I wear it on and I just really like wearing it. It’s so nice and easy to wear and put on.

4) Mustard Seed Necklace- You can also see the Mustard Seed Necklace that I’ve been wearing lately in this picture. This was my grandmothers and my mom thought I would like it and that it looked like the pocket watch I had on- and oddly enough I looked at the Instagram for the pocket watch and they also sold a similar necklace with a mustard seed in it. So I thought that was cool and that these should be worn together.

5) Ring Stack-

So I’ve been trying to kind of build up my everyday ring situation and these have been my most worn so far. First I got the chainmale ring from ShinyHappyDangles at the Smithville Mayfest, I got the big ring that I have on my index finger from Black Market in Halifax, I got the steel owl ring from the Hamilton Fall Festival and the ring next to it was from the Philadelphia Christmas market from the made in Tibet booth I believe.

6. Birthday Outfit

I really liked this outfit I wore for my birthday and this is a great picture that my boyfriend took of me!

7) Bangles-

You can kind of see the bangles I have on in this picture- the bracelet that’s at the very end of the stack from where my hand is is my favorite of the stack. It has all these butterflies on it but you can’t really see it from far

Away… it’s cute. These are all from my grandmother and I really like them!

8) Glittery Pants-

this is my outfit from last New Year’s Day and what I wore on New Years Eve and New Years Day last year. I also wore these with a red top on Valentine’s Day. I really like these pants a lot!

9. Glittery Jeans

This is what I wore when I saw Wicked in theaters! And I’m obsessed with it! I love these glittery pants that I got from Torrid. They’re super cute and just really great pants overall. It’s perfect!

10. Wicked

I loved wicked and especially the beauty and fashion of it! My favorite thing I have so far I think is the Loungefly Backpacks with Galinda and Elphaba’s Shiz university backpack. Also pictured is my Universal Monsters backpack which is becoming an early 2025 favorite

I might change into the Galinda one for tomorrow… but I might change soon again lol. I haven’t worn these Galinda one yet.

11. Crop Top from Smithville

You cant really tell this is a crop top because it’s oversized but it is a little bit cropped and I really like the patchwork design of it. It’s so pretty and really easy to style things with!

12. Strawberry Cardigan

I love this cardigan. I think this is the outfit I wore to the Sumo World Championship… does this scream Sumo Championship to you guys??? I like the shirt a lot with the cardigan too. I also think I have a crushed velvet pant that I got from Torrid- which I also really like wearing and it is a favorite of the year for me!

13. Nova Scotia Look

this is the hoodie I got from Jennifer’s of Nova Scotia and the wooden earrings that I really love from Black Market- but I can’t really wear them that much because they’re a pain to get in my ears lol. I also like how all of this looked with my long braid- overall it was really fun and I think this is what I wore to eat tacos that my friend made me… and they were really really good!

14. Tarte Clay Play Volume 2 palette

I kind of just got this but I can tell it’s going to be a favorite. I liked it so much that I actually got it as a gift for my sister too. It’s a great all in one palette and a good everyday neutral palette that you can get a lot of Looks with. I think Tarte is phasing this out and it’s only $26 at Sephora right now- so I would recommend getting it ASAP if you want it. It’s worth it!

15.Juvia’s Place I am Magic Glow Radiance Booster

This was my favorite foundation type product for the year. It looks really nice and natural on my face. It’s super easy to apply and it looks and feels really nice.

16)Natasha Denona I Need a Warm Eyeshadow Palette

I got this on my birthday at Sephora and all the girls working there were all excited saying it was so good. And it is really good. I’ve heard people not like this one so much- but I really like Natasha Denona Palettes and this might be the most useable.

17) Butterfly Necklace

I don’t know if I have a better picture of this necklace but I’ve been loving all butterfly things this year. My grandmother passed away this year and she loved butterflies so- I bought this necklace as a tribute to her and I feel good whenever I get compliments on this. This is a Betsey Johnson necklace and I think it’s one of my favorite things she’s made!

18) Butterfly Anything

Yeah anything butterfly was my thing this year. I love butterflies.

19) Brown Shirt from Smithville

I got this brown shirt at a boutique in Smithville and I love it- it’s so comfy and my other grandmother loves this so much she got something similar for herself. Which I also love.

20) Juicy Couture Bags and Wallets

I really like the design of the Juicy Couture bags and I found some really good ones this year.

This one was one of my favorites and I paired it with this bag chain that I got from Target.

21) LV inspired necklace

Im not sure if this is supposed to be LV inspired or if it just has the same sort of clover design. It’s what I’m wearing in the birthday outfit picture. I got the silver one and I’ll probably get the gold one next time I’m in Smithville if they have it. I am not sure where I put this necklace… so I need to look for it a bit. I also like that you can wear this as one long chain or a double chain.

22) Fenty High Shine Gloss stick-

I am obsessed with these lipsticks. If I could recommend one thing from Sephora or Ulta- it would probably be these lipsticks. The lip liners are good too. I have 3 of these lipsticks and I love them!

23) Stanley Accessories

I’ve been using my Stanley a lot lately- I have 2 Stanley’s that I change between and it’s been fun finding accessories that go with the cups and picking out stickers to go on the one. I ordered a smaller Stanley for coffee and stuff so I’m probably going to be stickering and accessorizing that too.

24) Erstwilder-

My other favorite thing! I love my Erstwilder brooches and accessories… this is an always favorite and I loved their 2024 collections. I really liked the Pete Cromer Fairy Tale collection, I liked the Fluer Harris collab, I think the Kelsey Rainbow Collab was in 2023 but I wore it a lot in 2024. Overall I always love Erstwilder and I try to wear one Erstwilder item every day.

That is everything! I hope you guys like this post! I’m already excited for the beauty and fashion favorites of 2025!

Bye!
