WOW - I truly can’t believe 2020 is almost over. I feel like this was the slowest, yet the FASTEST year ever! Anyone else agree?! Overall this was such a huge year for Carlyle Thornton Blog and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all again for supporting this small business of mine over the past few years. I truly couldn’t do this without each and every one of you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day and always showing up for me! I don’t know what I did to deserve this community but I am forever grateful for my growing relationship with y’all! I have big plans for this space in 2021 and can’t wait to take on the new year together. As we’re approaching a brand new year and clean slate, I thought it would be fun to share a round-up of my top sellers from this year. I’ve dug through my analytics to pull your very favorite items I shared with y’all this year broken down into main categories. Enjoy!!! XOXO
BEST SELLING HOME:
Hey There Pumpkin Doormat: For the second year in a row this is my best selling home item! You guys LOVE this cute seasonal doormat. I think almost every one of you owns this mat now but if you don’t, grab it for your porch next fall!!
Dry Erase Acrylic Wall Calendar: You girls love this calendar every time I share it! It’s so chic and can even be customized with whatever you want written on it. I have this hanging in my office and it helps keep me organized. Plus you can write with a dry erase marker and erase/reuse it every month of the year!
Louis Vuitton Inspired Holographic Cold Cup: The cutest accessory to sip ice coffee or any cold beverage from. You girls went crazy over this adorable cup every time I shared it… for good reason too!!!
Cane Back Dining Chair: My new dining chairs were some of my best selling items of the year. Unfortunately they sold out at Target and didn’t restock BUT I found an exact dupe for these from another retailer for you girls!!!!
BEST SELLING FASHION:
Faux Leather Leggings: My most worn pair of “pants” ;) and the best selling clothing item of 2020. These are a total staple in my fall and winter wardrobe. Probably because you can dress them up and down!! I even wear them during spring and summer to the gym! Seriously y'all, if you’re looking for an item where you will get a bang for your buck, this is it!! I’ve yet to find another pair of leggings that makes me feel more confident and are more flattering + comfortable than these! You can read more about why I love these by clicking here.
Moonlight Pajamas: My favorite pajamas, they are so comfy + cozy!!! I wore these constantly when I was recovering from surgery. They hold up so well and I always find myself grabbing for these. They come in tons of colors and also a long sleeve/pants version too! Stock up on these for sure!!
Easy Street Oversized Sweater: I own this sweater in almost every color it comes in! I’ve had a few of them for years and they continue to come back in stock each year. This sweater is the most amazing quality and is the perfect top to throw on + go. It’s super comfy and pairs well with literally any bottoms!! You will wear this time and time again!
Barefoot Dreams Cardigan: You already know barefoot dreams had to make this list. Made of the most dreamy, comfortable material and literally makes you feel like you’re floating in a bed of clouds. I bring this cardigan with me every where I go. It’s great to throw on if you’re ever chilly at work or in a restaurant. Not to mention I literally never travel without it!!
BEST SELLING BEAUTY:
JuJu Bar: My top beauty seller for the past two years! You girls love the Drunk Elephant JuJu Bar. You can read all about my obsession with Drunk Elephant skincare products by clicking here.
Under Eye Brightening Corrector: Bar far the most purchased makeup product by you girls!! This is totally a MUST and staple product in my every day makeup routine. It’s magic at hiding dark under eye circles. Trust me mine are hereditary and so hard to get rid of - but this product always does the trick!!!
‘Lychee Baby’ Liquid Lipstick: My go-to lipstick! This shade looks perfect on every girl I swear, any skin tone!! I wasn’t surprised this product made my top sellers for the year.
Hair Mask: The BEST hair mask. Makes your hair shiny, super soft, and helps with bondage + restoration. My goal in 2021 is to get my hair back healthy again and this product is perfect for just that!!
Tarte Shape Tape: A best seller for a reason!!! This is by far my favorite concealer. It’s full coverage and incredibly hides even the brightest spots and darkest marks. I use this every single day and wear the shade ‘light sand.’
BEST SELLING ACCESSORIES:
Pointed Toe Bootie: This shoe made #1 for the best selling accessory of 2020. These are by far my favorite bootie that I purchased this year (and probably in the last few years). They are not only cute and comfortable, but are also a true staple in my wardrobe and go with just about everything. I wear the heck out of these!!
Name Necklace: Always a best seller, you girls absolutely love this personalized name necklace. It’s so pretty and dainty! Makes the perfect gift idea and an everyday piece of jewelry for yourself of course!
Felt Brim Fedora: This is my favorite hat for sure! I think hats make the biggest statement and can really complete any look. This hat is amazing quality, holds up well and is a great dupe for the pricey lack of color brand hat. Get the same look, for less!!
Initial Talisman Necklace: This was one of my personal favorite purchases of 2020 and I’m so happy it made this list! I literally wear mine almost every day. I think its so unique and beautiful! I gifted this to my mom for Christmas and now she is obsessed too!
