My 10 Favorite Purchases of 2025
If I had to narrow it down to my favorite purchases of 2025, these would be it. And I have to say… sometimes a “favorite” is something really small (like the insoles that absolutely saved my feet from pain this year), but I promise I made this list a little more fun than that.
This really felt like the year I started buying more intentionally—choosing pieces I knew would truly make a difference in my life and get used again and again. Because of that, I’m honestly so happy with this list. I hope you love these favorites just as much as I do!
My Raffia Bucket Hat
This was actually my very first purchase on Nantucket this summer. I spotted it online, but it wasn’t going to arrive in time for my trip—so I was thrilled when I found one tucked inside a little boutique near the ferry. The best part? It’s packable and doesn’t lose its shape, which makes it completely worth every penny. And honestly, it gives me total Diane Keaton vibes in Something’s Gotta Give—which, of course, makes me love it even more.
My New Bed
This purchase has truly been such a blessing. I’ve been searching for the perfect bed frame for years, and this one finally checked every box. It’s incredibly sturdy, beautifully designed, and somehow makes our bedroom feel like we’re sleeping in a cozy Nantucket resort. Even better—it’s on sale right now, which makes it an even sweeter find.
The Pink Vest
I ordered this pink linen vest on sale, and it’s easily become one of my closet favorites this year. I even wore it with matching pink pants for my grandson’s baptism, and it was absolutely perfect for such a special day. I love how vests can be dressed up or down—they’re so versatile. And now I’m officially hooked… because yes, I ordered the exact same vest in textured satin in both cream and navy when they went on sale this week.
Waterproof Tote
It’s the most adorable little tote, and I carried it everywhere for months. I had it embroidered on Nantucket with an oyster, which makes it even more special to me. The tote comes in several sizes—this one just happens to be the smallest.
Rattan Dining Chair
These chairs were on my wishlist forever, and the moment they went on sale, I knew it was time to finally make my move. They’re exquisite, comfortable, and incredibly stylish—and I know I’ll be enjoying them for years to come. They’re on sale this week, too, which makes them even better.
Cordless Lamps
I ordered these last minute for the party at our house for my grandson’s baptism, and they were beyond perfect. In fact, I’m already planning to order a few more. You can use them just about anywhere, and they add the prettiest, soft glow to a space. I had two on the tables for the baptism, and they looked so beautiful—and they’re just as cute styled on a console, too. They’re on sale this week!
Large Charcuterie Board
Another entertaining win that I absolutely loved using. I brought out this large charcuterie board for my grandson’s baptism and again at Christmas, and it was such a hit both times. It’s also available in two other colors, and it’s on sale right now.
Rattan Side Chairs
These rattan side chairs are truly an architectural dream. I love the design—it’s simple yet incredibly stylish and classic, so I know it will never go out of style. They add so much to our living room beyond just extra seating. I highly recommend them for almost any space in your home, and they’re on sale this week.
Raffia Ballet Flats
These were my favorite raffia flats of the year, and I wore them nonstop. They fit true to size, come in several colors, and are the easiest way to dress up just about any outfit.
Linen Squareneck Vest
I originally ordered this linen vest in another color to wear to my daughter-in-law’s baby shower, and when the cream version went on sale, I quickly grabbed it too. Well… now it’s on sale again with an extra 20% off—and it’s also available in black, which I may or may not have just ordered. I love having these vests in my closet because they’re so flattering and easy to dress up or down. That’s exactly why this linen vest earned a spot on my top purchases list.
