My last minute purchase of 2024 and the best is the Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. Loud noises stress me out so they work so well at the gym as well as travel (when my husband has the radio on, I can listen to podcasts or Libby).

Ooh that is such a good purchase, I love mine! I feel the same when traveling. They make me feel like I’m in my own little cocoon, away from all of the noise.

Is it weird to say that is the sexiest silverware I’ve ever seen? Because that is the sexiest silverware I’ve ever seen.

Are you hand washing it? I’ve wanted gold silverware for ages but the reviews are always awful regarding rust

haha, I agree! The curves make it really, almost, sensual? So: I do not hand wash mine, I put it in the dishwasher. That being said, this is not my everyday flatware . . . I use it max, 3x a month when I entertain. So I feel okay about putting it in the dishwasher. If I were using it every day I think I would feel differently and handwash!

Love the list, Grace! I ordered the Fisherman Sweater on your rec and love it already! Question: How do you recommend styling it outside of the house since it's more oversized? Currently am wearing it with sweats on my couch but don't know that I'd know how to wear it otherwise? Thank you!

I love it with straight leg jeans! Sometimes I’ll wear it loose, otherwise tuck it in. Also with black stirrup leggings and a ballet flat. Or a cream colored jean. It may take you a little to get used to a more oversized sweater out of the house but I think it’s chic

I can't find your original recommendation for a very specific (and weirdly shaped) pillow - can you reshare?

Love all of these and love that you love green too!! Question about the jawline mask thingy, how long do you feel like the results last after wearing it? Thanks🤍

GREAT post! I purchased the Sarah Creal Concealer based on recs that I saw from several people, and I don't know what I'm missing, but I feel like it's highlighting fine lines that I didn't know I had :( It's looking patchy on me. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I've tried applying with a brush and with my finger, and always after an eye moisturizer.

Interesting! All I can say is that every product works differently on each person. I love it, and that’s what I do, but it never looks patchy. So we may just have different skin!

I clicked to read on substack (and gave you a <3), but FYI it links to 2023 Best Purchases, not 2024 ;-) A number of these I have... and IF I could justify another sweater, it would be one of your recommendations -- you're aces in that. Thank you.

Grace, THANK YOU so much for such a thoughtful and amazing curated list! I also fell in love with the Colby Pant and Magot T this year. And the Sarah Creal concealer and mascara – they’re the best! I’m so glad that you like the mascara too, as I’m one of the readers who recommended it. I’ve bookmarked this article for future reference as there are so many reccos I can’t wait to try, starting with the Soft Services hand cream and the Manicurist Active Glow.
