With 2024 winding down, I wanted to share the most popular products in the JLS community this year. These are the fashion and beauty finds you loved most—the Top 24 of 2024… on the 24th of December! I wasn’t planning another new blog post before Christmas, but when I noticed the numbers, I knew I had to publish this one today. Whether you’re catching up on what you might have missed or just looking for a little shopping inspiration, these tried-and-true favorites are worth revisiting.
Fashion Faves of 2024
These were your most-loved fashion finds this year! From wardrobe staples to standout statement pieces, these best-sellers stood out as the JLS community favorites.
MOTHER The Weekend Flare Jeans
My holy grail denim style is clearly a favorite with you too! These jeans have been a best seller throughout the year, and your three favorite washes are no surprise. Teaming Up is a polished dark wash with a whiskered and sanded finish and a clean hem, while this fray hem style in a mid-blue wash with subtle whiskering and fading at the knees is my go-to for casual looks. And then there’s Wanted!—an amazing faded dark grey wash that I recently discovered and can’t get enough of. If you like the mid-blue wash but prefer a clean hem, the Layover wash is an excellent alternative.

KUT from the Kloth Meg Wide Leg Jeans
Wide-leg pants can be tricky, but the KUT from the Kloth Meg has been a favorite in the JLS community since I first discovered the green twill pair last spring. They’re cut closer to the hips and thighs than many wide-leg styles, creating a more streamlined silhouette while still maintaining the wide-leg look. I loved them so much that I also grabbed a cuffed pair in a light blue denim wash. Later, I added the dark blue denim pair during the #NSale, and I even picked up a linen pair earlier this year.

LOFT Collared Pocket Sweater Jacket
This sweater takes inspiration from the classic lady jacket, but the knit fabric gives it a more casual and relaxed feel. The collar adds a nice detail, while the boxy fit and 21 1/2″ length make it perfect for pairing with high-rise jeans and pants. My burgundy version is low in stock, but the Parisian Red is a gorgeous alternative—especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner!

Paul Green Hadley Platform Sneaker
I ordered these last spring after injuring my ankle, knowing I’d be in sneakers for a while. I wanted something classic yet modern that would pair with all of my jeans and shorts, and these delivered! The luxe leather, cushioned insole, and solid arch support made them incredibly comfortable right out of the box—no break-in period needed. The slight platform is an added bonus, making them perfect for styling with full-length flares as well as cropped and ankle-length styles.

Faherty Golden Hour Sweater
This versatile cotton blend sweater was one of my favorite #NSale purchases this year. I love the classic style, easy fit, and high-quality fabric—a signature of a brand I’ve grown to love this year.

LOFT Rib Trim Wide Sleeve V-Neck Sweater
This is the perfect easy sweater for pairing with your favorite jeans this winter. I love the 24″ length, the relaxed fit, the flattering v-neck, and the wide rib-cuffed sleeves. It fits true to size, but mine shrunk some in the wash, so consider sizing up if you’re between sizes.

Athleta Endless High Rise Pant
So many of you raved about these pants that I ordered them to try for myself when they went on sale last summer. (And guess what? They’re back on sale right now—30% off for a limited time!) These are the ultimate travel pants, made with Athleta’s signature PrimaStretch fabric, which is refined, subtly textured, and perfectly stretchy. The Powervita waistband is another standout feature—soft, supportive, and comfortable enough for all-day wear. They run true to size, or size down if in between; these are the size 6.

Nordstrom Wool & Cashmere Knit Hoodie
This super soft ribbed hoodie with a touch of cashmere is perfect for layering under jackets or wearing alone, and it’s currently 40% off! Sizes are limited, but you can keep an eye out for restocks. I recommend sizing down in this one; I ended up with the XS.

Evereve Cooper Quilted Vest
This quilted vest strikes the perfect balance between sporty and polished, making it an ideal layer for mild winter days. It has a classic fit with snap-front and stand collar, and it’s the perfect versatile 23″ length. I wear mine with everything from thermal tees to cashmere sweaters, and it’s also really cute over a hoodie (as shown above).

Talbots Casual Twill Crop Jacket
Talbots can be hit or miss for me, but this twill crop jacket was a definite win last summer! The lightweight cotton twill, flattering silhouette, and versatile 22″ length make it an ideal topper for transition season. Plus, the modern classic styling is spot on, with polished details like patch pockets, a stand collar, and epaulettes. I’ll definitely be checking out their new arrivals this spring!

Tommy Bahama Palma A Dora Sheath
This linen-blend sheath is one of my summer travel staples. I brought the white version on my trip to Italy in 2023, and I loved it so much that I added the black one to my wardrobe last spring. The black sheath came with me on two trips to Florida in the spring and our family vacation to the Delaware beaches in the summer. The flattering silhouette and lightweight, breathable fabric make it perfect for hot-weather destinations. I’m excited to see a new split-neck version this season!

J.Crew Daphne Topcoat in Italian Boiled Wool
This boiled wool topcoat probably needs no introduction. I’ve had mine for a couple of years now, and it continues to be a top seller for good reason. The classic design makes it highly versatile and easy to dress up or down, and the quality is excellent for the price point. If you’re looking for a timeless piece to add to your outerwear collection, this one is hard to beat.

Best of Beauty in 2024
From skincare staples to makeup must-haves, these are the beauty products you couldn’t get enough of this year. In the interest of time, I’m going to post these in a list without photos. Click through on the links to see more!
COLOR WOW Dream Coat // Like a magic shield for your hair, this product 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.
Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum // This eye serum is designed to brighten, firm, and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes. I use it every morning, and it goes on smoothly and blends into the skin, leaving it hydrated and refreshed without feeling greasy. Plus, it’s a great price point!
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.
Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips // My assistant, Amy, swears by these teeth whitening strips. They’re gentle on sensitive teeth and gums, but still effective at brightening your smile. Best of all, they’re free from harsh chemicals, making them a great option if you’re looking for a more natural approach to teeth whitening.
PCA SKIN Nutrient Face Toner // Part of my nighttime skincare routine, this toner is a skincare powerhouse! It’s packed with pumpkin wine and other nourishing ingredients that gently exfoliate, so it leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and more refreshed. I love how it preps my skin for serums and moisturizers without feeling harsh or drying.
ISDIN Eryfotona 100% Mineral Tinted Sunscreen // My go-to daily sunscreen—and apparently, many of yours too! This tinted mineral sunscreen was recommended by my dermatologist, and it offers broad-spectrum SPF 50+ protection while providing a subtle, natural-looking tint that evens out skin tone. I love the lightweight consistency and how easily it blends into the skin without feeling greasy or leaving a white cast. Plus, it’s packed with DNA repair enzymes to help protect and repair sun-damaged skin, making it a multitasking essential for healthy, radiant skin.
Kerastase Resistance Ciment Thermique Hair Serum and Blow Dry Primer // My hairdresser recommended this to me, and now I have it on auto-order with Amazon because I can’t be without it. This leave-in treatment protects against heat damage while strengthening and smoothing your hair. If you use hot tools regularly, it’s a must-have.
Davines Replumping Hair Filler Leave-In Treatment // Another hair product recommended by my hairdresser, this spray helps plump and strengthen each strand, leaving my fine hair feeling fuller and thicker. Plus, it’s lightweight and never feels heavy, making it a great choice for all hair types.
ELEMIS Pro-Collagen 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—calming and fresh without being overpowering. It’s incredibly gentle, leaving my skin clean, nourished, and super soft without any hint of dryness or tightness.
Replenix Age Restore Nighttime Therapy Face Cream // This is my go-to night cream, recommended by my cosmetic dermatologist to combat my extremely dry, flaky skin. It’s thick, rich, and creamy, and I apply it liberally to my face, neck, and chest every night. It provides intense hydration and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished in the morning.
Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer // This hair tool needs no introduction—it’s been the biggest game-changer for my fine, frizzy hair outside of my extensions. If you’re curious about all the details, I have an entire blog post dedicated to it!
tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara // I’ve loved every tarte mascara I’ve tried, but this one is my current favorite. Just a couple of light coats give you long, thick, luscious lashes that rival lash extensions. Plus, it’s a clean product and surprisingly affordable for the results it delivers.
