My Favorite Things of 2017






This year has been a whirlwind for my family, full of blissful moments and magic. From Disney trips to visiting with family, it was a year to remember for sure! In this fun little post, I've compiled a list of my favorite items from the year. These include my favorite books, clothes, makeup, and little trinkets that I've gathered throughout 2017.


Some of my favorite things to wear are sweaters. Seriously... I could live in them and never tire of it. If you saw my closet, you would be ashamed at how many I have. My new personal favorite that I snagged this year is this rainbow striped one from the Crazy Stripes line at Gap! The colors are so vibrant and fun that I never ever want to take it off. It's also incredibly soft and luxurious, so that makes the will to live in it even stronger.



Two staples in my wardrobe is a nice jacket and a pair of sunglasses, and I've found just that with my denim jacket from Old Navy and these awesome daisy sunnies from Oui Fresh. The jacket so flattering and comfortable! I can wear it everyday and it changes my outfit in some way; either dressing up a pair of leggings with booties and this jacket or dressing something down with sneakers and the denim. I love the wash and I love putting pins on it, too. It totally changes up whatever you're wearing. I keep a Spider-Man heart pin on it all year long because the love is real.


My sunglasses are a statement piece that I just love so much, they have such a cool vintage vibe and are right up my style alley right now. I have the rose colored ones which I particularly love the most as it's one of my favorite colors! This is one piece that is a new favorite that I own but I've been obsessing over them online for forever so they technically count, right? 



I am a total book nerd. I'm always reading and am always on the hunt for new books to read. I didn't quite get to my book goal this year, but I definitely have a favorite read. A book called The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary An Shaffer is my favorite this year. I love reading books set in the 40s, this era fascinates me and leaves me wanting to learn more. This book had just enough humor, history, love, and friendship in it to make me want to read it all over again.

Can I say that my Disney trip was my favorite thing this year? Because it totally was, and I snagged some awesome souvenirs. My favorite thing to bring home from every trip is a mug, I am such a mug hoarder. In fact, I need to clean them out. But I picked up two awesome mugs from this past trip that make me so happy and ease the home sickness of Disney just a little! My Food and Wine mug is from the Future World gift shop in Epcot and the Hollywood Studios mug is a You Are Here mug from Starbucks in Hollywood Studios!  



The final thing that's a recent favorite (because I got it for Christmas) but I love sooo much is this pair of unicorn house shoes. They're so comfortable and they LIGHT UP! Can you believe it? How magical can these get? These slippers scream "me" because they're magical and colorful, two things I love so much!


Wow, 2017 was a year! This year was a total whirlwind of fun, and I can't wait to see what 2018 has to offer for not only myself and my family, but for pixiedusttraveler! I hope your year was magical, here's to many more just the same!
