I've always been fascinated by which posts attract the most clicks on this blog; some get a bunch of views from Pinterest, others pull in heavy search traffic, and some are good old direct load. No matter how you're getting here, I'm glad that you've come, and I hope that you stick around. And by looking at—and analyzing—the most-viewed posts of the year, it helps me create even more compelling content for you going forward. But before we move into 2023, here are the top 10 most popular posts of 2022. 

#10 7 ways to wear Birkenstocks

I probably have enough outfit photos to do 21 ways to wear Birkenstocks, but these are 7 of my favorite, featuring my all-time favorite pair of Black Arizona EVA sandals. These, by the way, are probably the most-worn shoes in my entire wardrobe. 

#9 What to wear in 2022

Also featured in my favorite outfits of 2022, I'm guessing this post struck a chord because after nearly two years of the pandemic...no one really knew what to wear anymore. Hopefully we've figured it out by now ;) 

#8 My birthday wishlist 

This one was somewhat of a surprise, and I'm not quite sure how it ended up on this list. Maybe I need to start doing more collages again? For the record, I actually got everything featured here, except the Celine bag. (Maybe next year!) 

#7 An honest review of Chicwish

I included one of the outfits featured here in my favorites of 2022, and while I know Chicwish works with a lot of bloggers out there, I'm glad so many people were interested in my opinion (TL;DR, quality is really good for the price; be sure to size up). 

#6 7 ways to wear a camel blazer

Y'all love to see some versatility, and that's good news for me, because that means I can buy fewer things and instead do more with them! I do wear this blazer a lot, and I'm glad J.Crew keeps bringing it back. 

#5 An honest review of Olaplex

I was also surprised that this one drew as much attention as it received; I feel like there is a lot of information on Olaplex out there, but again, I'm glad you were interested in my take. 

#4 An honest review of Spanx straight leg jeans

While I love all of my Spanx pants, these are one of my favorite pairs (I wore them IRL today, in fact). But now I am running out of Spanx things to review, so I guess that means it's time to go shopping! 

#3 An honest review of Spanx leather-like joggers

Fun fact: while this is one of my most-read posts of the year, very few of you ended up actually buying the pants I'm wearing. I truly love them (I wear them all the time) but maybe you...don't?

#2 An honest review of Eighth Day regenerative serum and reparative moisturizer

By now you have likely been inundated with my ads on Instagram, and if not, you probably will be now. But Eighth Day reached out to me after seeing this post, asked me to make a video, and that's how the sausage is made. 

#1 An honest review of True Botanicals Chebula Active Immunity Serum and Renew Pure Radiance Oil

Having a post go viral is one of the best compliments a content creator can get, and to be honest, it helps pay the bills too. Spoiler alert: this serum was one of the top things y'all bought this year, and I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
