TOP FAVORITES FROM 2020

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! Wow. 2020 was a challenging year for our world. Between covid and the election here in the US, it’s been a roller coaster of emotions. I’m thankful the Lord was with us and helped my family and I make it through. Although it was a difficult year in many aspects, there were beautiful sparks of joy that happened in my life. My middle son graduated from college with a mechanical engineering degree and was hired right away, my oldest son got a job, my youngest is doing great in college, I celebrated 10 years as a blogger, and I got a good report of no cancer! All good things that I’m so incredibly thankful to the Lord for. So today I wanted to share some highlights from my blog that include my top favorites from 2020. I hope you enjoy this little recap of my journey here on Beautifully Seaside.

I also wanted to thank all the brands I worked with this year! It’s been an incredible year in that regard, getting to receive these partnerships. I am always super grateful when a collaboration email pops up in my inbox. A big THANK YOU goes to Serena & Lily, Nordstrom, Clinique, Colleen Rothschild, Palm Beach Outlets, Mark & Graham, Walmart, Weezie, and J.Crew. I’m so thankful for their friendship and hope to continue to work with them in 2021!

I also want to thank all of you for following along this year. I appreciate all the kind messages and thoughts you sent me, especially after my surgery this fall. I’m so encouraged to know that I have a beautiful community here of women who are so supportive and faithful. May the blessings of the Lord be upon each and every one of you and yours this new year.     All my love, Desiree

TOP FAVORITES FROM 2020

I headed to Palm Beach a few times this year! My first 2020 visit to Palm Beach was to explore Serena & Lily’s new Palm Beach store. Then in February, just before the covid lockdown, I attended a party at the Colony Hotel. Finally, in November I visited Palm Beach Outlets to curate a holiday gift guide. Each of these little road trips were so much fun and I’m thrilled you enjoyed them!

This J.Crew pink top was a big seller. It’s not available any more, however I’m always featuring their new arrivals right away. I look forward to sharing their new 2021 collection with you soon!

FASTer Way to Fat Loss has been popular with my readers. You all followed my journey of weight loss in 2019, and will be following my weight loss again in 2021. I’ve gained some weight and look forward to losing fat again!

One thing I loved about 2020 was getting to take more photos at home. Stay tuned for more, because I’m refreshing my home with new furniture.

This J.Crew tie front poplin dress was a big seller on the blog. I love the silhouette and hope they bring this style dress back in 2021. Shooting resort wear styles in the Keys has always been a favorite of mine (and yours) and I hope to be able get back to shooting in this gorgeous destination again in 2021.

In the photo above, I debuted my new haircut courtesy of my hubby. He actually did a great job!

This Madewell cardigan was a top seller on my blog! This photo was part of a beauty post with Nordstrom, however my readers enjoyed the whole look. Thanks for the support! I hope you enjoyed your cozy cardigans! XO

These two flat lays were big sellers on my Like to Know It page. They ended being my favorite looks to wear when the temperatures dropped in Miami. Shop the striped sweater outfit here. Shop the camel sweater outfit here.

This blush and highlighter duo was a big seller on my blog. It quickly sold out, but I wanted to share the exact blush and similar highlighter for you to check out. This blush is the best ever! I also want to mention that I’m so grateful Nordstrom has trusted my beauty picks and continues to partner with me each month. I’m so grateful to them. Stay tuned for a new collaboration with them in January for my birthday month! I’m going to be 50!

This was another fun beauty post with Nordstrom that you all loved! I’m so happy to be sharing these beauty posts with you. You can watch the makeup tutorial here.

I started sharing these daily looks with you and you all are enjoying them! These two outfits were my top sellers from these posts. You can see more here.

 

Thank you again for all the love and friendship!

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2021!
