Top 5 Best Sellers and Top 5 Blog Posts from the First Half of 2022

with my Celine Nano Belt bag

 

After reading Andrea’s top 5 best sellers and top 5 blog posts of this year, I wanted to take a look at what were the top 5’s for my blog. And I decided to do it for the first third of 2022 since, well that’s the data that I have (plus I feel like month to month, some of the same posts are always in the top anyway so this won’t be a monthly thing). So without further ado, here’s my top 5.

Top 5 Posts

1) Celine Nano Belt Bag Review: Yup, this continues to be a top 5. This was a top 5 for all of 2021 as well. I guess the Celine Belt Bag is still popular (and maybe on its way to becoming a classic?).

2) Cartier Love Bracelet Review: Ok, I’m not sure why I’m even doing a quarterly recap because again this was part of the top 5 of 2021.

3) Polene Beri Bag Review: Ah, finally some variety. I’m guessing that Polene is gaining traction in the bag world and so this review is getting some attention. I still love my Beri bag and use it often!

4) My best and worst luxury purchases in 2019: I can’t believe this old post is still getting so much attention, especially since I wrote an updated 2021 version here. I guess the 2019 is more popular because it’s mostly about bags.

5) Mejuri Review: I no longer buy Mejuri (preferring to buy secondhand jewelry from the RealReal or reputable Etsy sellers), but this review is still a popular one.

Top 5 Best Sellers

 

1) Anna dress from Linenfox: I guess people are gearing up for summer (even during the winter months)! It’s interesting that I reviewed this Anna dress from Linenfox quite awhile ago and it’s the best selling item for the first quarter of this year. I guess when it’s a great quality, classic dress it’ll never go out of style. I ended up selling mine on my closet sale page because it was getting a little small on me (and I think I’m over by pandemic-era pink dress phase).

2) Ruggable: My Ruggable review is quite old as well, but I’m not surprised that this is a best seller. I love my Ruggable and I can see myself buying more from them when my other rugs really wear out.

3) Lift Up Bra from Pepper Bra: My Pepper bra review is a new one for this year, and I guess they’re doing well in getting the word out since this is now one of my more viewed posts. I’m a fan of the All You bras, but I think the Lift Up is doing well since it’s more supportive and shaping. A full review of the Pepper Lift Up bra here.

4) The Starling shoe from Birdies (Swan shoe reviewed here): Funny that the shoe I reviewed isn’t the one that people want to buy. I guess the Starling is the company’s best seller, and the one recommended by the shop person the day I went, so it makes sense that’s the one people are buying. Meanwhile I’m still loving my Swan shoes (granted I only wear them for going out to meals or when going over to a friend’s house—not for walking the mall, not like I do that anyway lol). I just saw their summer version of the Swans and I’m very tempted.

5) Diamond Wedding Band from Quince: After my Quince jewelry review, I’m happy to see that my favorite diamond wedding band is a best seller. Seriously this simple and gorgeous diamond band is the perfect ring both for matrimony and for stacking.

And that’s it, my top 5 posts and bestsellers for the first third of the year. I don’t know if this was interesting to you guys? Let me know in the comments, thanks!
