Hi friends! I’m home from Maine and trying to get back into the swing of things. Thankfully, I’ve got a pretty low-key weekend to recover and get organized for a new week… and a new month!
But before diving into August, I want to take a look back at July and see what you all were shopping. With Amazon Prime Days overlapping with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in the second week of the month, it’s no surprise that the top sellers are all from Amazon and Nordstrom. So today I’m rounding up the Best of July with your favorites from both!
Top Ten Best Sellers from the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
First up, here are the 10 best-selling items from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, based on the number of orders placed through my links. I’m listing them in classic Top Ten countdown style, with the most popular item saved for last.
also wearing: MOTHER The Boxy Goodie Goodie (L) (more here) // MOTHER Insider Crop Fray (29) // beek Sunbeam Flip Flops (8)
#10. Andrew Marc Rowan Leather Racer Jacket // This leather jacket is definitely one of my favorite #NSale finds this year, and it looks like you all loved it too. I had one similar to it that I wore for years and finally donated when it started to look worn. I love the classic styling with subtle moto-inspired details, and it has such a flattering shape. I’m wearing the small in the picture above, but I re-ordered the medium, and that’s the size I’m keeping.
#7. Steve Madden Dorothea Bootie (8) // These are the best budget-friendly booties in the #NSale this year. I was super impressed with the quality as well as the fit and feel. They’re also the perfect shade of brown to go with everything this fall, and they have a stylish angular squared-off toe and walkable 1 1/4″ block heel.
also wearing: similar MOTHER Roller (29) // old Vince top // Matisse McCarthy Square Toe Mule (7.5)
#6. Rails Alma Cotton Blend Jacket (S) // I had this Rails jacket from last year’s #NSale, and I was happy to see it brought back. The band collar and shorter fit are right on trend, and it has some really nice details like oversized buttons, patch pockets, and a drawstring hem. It’s a great little outfit topper for transition season.
also wearing: AllSaints Anna (M) // J.Crew earrings
#1. Caslon Stretch Twill Swing Jacket (S) // This versatile twill jacket is the perfect lightweight layer for fall. I love the swingy silhouette and all the thoughtful details, plus the stretchy twill fabric makes it extra comfy to wear. I love this Green Sorrell, but it also comes in ivory and navy, and it runs true to size, or size down if in between.
Okay, moving on to Amazon Best Sellers!
Top Ten Best Sellers on Amazon
These were the 10 best-selling items from Amazon in July, and some of my tried-and-true beauty favorites. Once again, I’m listing them in classic Top Ten countdown order, starting with #10…
#10. Perricone MD No Makeup Eyeshadow // I’ve been raving about this one for years. I love how it gives you a no-makeup look, but better by adding a soft, natural brightness to your eyelids. The lightweight formula blends effortlessly and stays put all day, making it perfect for a polished yet minimal look.
#9. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask // This cult-favorite lip mask is one of my all-time favorites, and my girls love it too. I put it on every night, and it keeps my lips from getting dry and cracked.
#8. ISDIN Eryfotona Ageless Tinted Mineral Sunscreen for Face SPF 50 // My go-to daily sunscreen, this mineral formula offers SPF 50+ protection with a subtle, natural-looking tint that evens out skin tone and creates a smooth base for makeup or lets you skip it altogether. I love how easily it blends without feeling greasy or leaving a white cast. It also contains DNA repair enzymes to help protect and repair sun-damaged skin. It was recommended by my dermatologist a few years ago, and it’s been a staple in my routine ever since.
#7. Replenix Age Restore Nighttime Therapy Face Cream // Another one of my dermatologist’s recommendations, this medical-grade night cream is packed with ceramides, peptides, and green tea polyphenols to improve elasticity, texture, fine lines, and skin tone while softening and deeply hydrating dry skin. It’s the only night cream that can handle my extremely dry, flaky winter skin, but I use it all year round.
#6. ELEMIS ProCollagen Cleansing Balm // My favorite facial cleanser for effortlessly melting away dirt, makeup, and impurities at the end of the day. The luxurious, balm-to-oil texture feels like a spa treatment, and the scent is absolutely heavenly. It’s incredibly gentle, too, leaving my skin feeling clean, nourished, and super soft without any dryness or tightness.
#5. PCA SKIN Hydrating Toner // My friend Lindsey introduced me to this one, and I absolutely love how it smells and makes my skin feel. It gently removes any leftover debris, boosts hydration, and helps prevent free radical damage. I keep it on auto-order at Amazon, but you can sometimes find good deals on it on the PCA Skin website.
#4. Limited Edition Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer in Jasper Plum // My love for my Dyson hair dryer runs deep. It’s easily the most powerful, fastest drying, and gentlest dryer I’ve ever used. This limited-edition version is a bit different from my original Supersonic, but it was on sale for Amazon Prime Day, which landed it in a spot on this Top Ten list.
#3. COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray // This stuff is like a magic shield for your hair. It fights frizz and humidity like nobody’s business. The lightweight, heat-activated formula works like a mini keratin treatment, sealing the hair cuticle and creating a glass-like finish that lasts through multiple washes. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with dry, frizzy hair.
#2. Oligo Professionnel Calura Moisture Balance Cleanser and Conditioner Duo // My go-to shampoo and conditioner, which I found through my hairstylist. It’s lightweight and nourishing and contains no sulfates or parabens, and I like how it keeps my hair healthy and hydrated without weighing it down.
#1. Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment // Finally, in the #1 spot, this exfoliating scrub combines tiny scrubby bits to clear out pores, fruit enzymes to brighten, and lactic acid to gently resurface. Honey and aloe help keep it from being too harsh. It’s AMAZING. I keep it in my shower and use it 3–4 times a week, and every time I do, my skin looks glowy and fresh all day. I never like to be without it, so I always decant a bit when I travel. It also comes in a travel size, which is perfect for packing or for testing it out before committing to the full size.
Top Five Blog Posts from July 2025
And now for the blog posts that got the most love in July! These are the top five according to Google Analytics…
#5. Fall 2025 Fashion Trends to Watch For // I was actually surprised this one didn’t take the top spot, but it still racked up 7,000 views. Maybe it’s a little early to get excited about fall fashion, but it definitely sparked a lot of conversation in the comments. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not rushing summer. I love hot weather, but I have to admit I’m excited about many of the upcoming fall trends. It looks like a lot of you are too!
#4. 2025 Summer Try-On Haul: Closet Staples, Statement Pieces & So Many Good Sales! // My Try-On Hauls are always among my most popular posts, so it’s no surprise that two of them landed in this month’s Top Five. This one is more summer-focused, but it’s still a great one to revisit if you live somewhere with plenty of warm weather left.
#3. Are White Jeans Still In Style for 2025? // Definitely a hot topic! I loved seeing all the different opinions and was intrigued by the variety of responses to this question.
#2. 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Fitting Room Try-On Haul // My first #NSale Try-On Haul was a huge hit, racking up over 11,000 views. The sale ends on Monday, August 4, so there’s still time to shop! A lot of items are pretty picked over, but I’ve noticed quite a few restocks lately. If there’s something you’re still hoping to grab, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
#1. The Best Shorts for Summer 2025: Denim, Twill, Linen & More // This post claimed the top spot with over 13,000 views, which honestly surprised me! I didn’t expect shorts to be such a hot topic. If you’re still adding to your summer wardrobe, this one is definitely worth a second look.
And that’s a wrap! I’d love to hear which of these items you picked up and which blog posts resonated most with you. I’m also planning out August content, so let me know what topics you’d like to see next!
