2025 Best Sellers – Southern Curls & Pearls

Wow, what a year. I truly can’t believe that we are already into 2026 – does time seem to be moving at warp speed? I love seeing which products you loved most each year and the best sellers of 2025 did not disappoint! From everyday staples to can’t-keep-it-in-stock favorites, these were the most clicked, most purchased, and most talked about items across every category.

I broke everything down into sections (clothing, beauty, home, etc.) so you can easily browse or re-shop anything you missed. Let’s get into your most-loved products of the year!

Clothing

Dresses

• Amanda Uprichard Fae Blue Mini Dress – The floral print is so pretty and the belt detail on the waist is so flattering. This dress would be perfect for bridal showers, baby showers, basically any event! 
• Black and White Stripe Sweater Mini Dress – Okay, I am OBSESSED with this dress! The sweater material makes it cozy, but it’s not too hot and you can definitely still wear it on the warmer days. I also love how easy it is to style because you can dress it up or down depending on your mood. 
• Crochet Maxi Dress – You all loved this dress (shown above) and I know why! I know it’s pricey, but the detail on it is unlike any dress I’ve ever seen. If you’re a bride, this would be such a fun dress for your honeymoon! 
• Floral Gown – Okayyy I DIE over this floral gown. I wore this to my friend’s wedding and have never received so many compliments on a dress before! People were even coming up to Chris and telling HIM that they loved my dress, haha. It is a bit of an investment… but it sure is a stunner and it’s on sale right now!
• Floral Mini dress – The fabric on this dress is gorgeous, and the details on the sleeves, lace, and bow are just stunning. You could wear this to so many occasions – a bridal shower, birthday party, or even a honeymoon! The same print also comes in a midi dress, which is just as beautiful!
• Black and White Gown – I wore this in Italy and need to find another occasion to wear it to! It’s STUNNING! 
• Meshki Off the Shoulder Maxi Dress – This was one of my holiday party + NYE dresses this year and I’m obsessed with it! The color is so pretty and I love the style. Even better, it works with a bump, too! 
• Red Open Back Maxi Dress – This is another holiday dress from this year. The open back detail is so unique and the color is so good. Would make a great wedding guest dress for any winter weddings! 

Tops

• Bow Sweater – I have this sweater in both black and white because I love it that much (see them both here). The bow is so festive and such a fun detail, and it’s less than $90!
• Scarf Tie Sleeveless Sweater – This is the best transitional top – you can wear it on it’s own when it’s warm or layered under a cute jacket when it cools down. It looks like I have another sweater tied around my shoulders, but it’s actually fake, haha. Which makes it perfect for layering!
• Brown Plaid Button-Up Vest – Plaid and a matching set, name a better combination for fall! My favorite part is that you can wear the pieces together or separately. I’ve styled this vest with a pair of jeans and boots in the fall, and plan to wear the shorts with a cute sweater this spring. 
• Amazon Cropped Trench Coat – A cropped trench coat is definitely an ‘in’ trend, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on one before making sure I would wear it. This one is only $44 and I’ve already worn it a ton! I love that you can style it belted for a more structured, polished look or unbelted for a casual look. 
• Flag sweater – I love a flag sweater around the 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and if you travel anywhere along the coast in New England, you will see this sweater (in various colors) EVERYWHERE! You could pop it on during a chilly evening or just wear it over your shoulders for a more chill, relaxed vibe.
• Skims Short Sleeve Tee – This was an essential this fall! I layered it under sooo many sweaters, blazers, and jackets because it’s thin, form fitting, and stays in place. It’s less than $50 and comes in several colors, too! 

Bottoms

• Zella Leggings – I have had these leggings in my closet for a LOOOONG time and they are always a winter staple! They’re just so easy to style and they keep me warm! (I can also confirm that they stretch with pregnancy.)
• Amazon Gingham Shorts – I wore these shorts for a travel outfit with a white tank and denim jacket, and they were perfect! They’re only $10 (!!!), so comfortable, and the cutest green gingham print. I love how lightweight they are because they’re perfect for lounging in the house or long drives or flights. I also ordered them in the pink, too!

Swimwear

• Devon Windsor tan bikini and skirt – One of my favorite swimwear looks from the whole year, enough said!!
• Black and White Monday Swimsuit – This black and ivory one-piece is a total classic. It’s chic, flattering, and just the right amount of stylish for the beach or pool. It comes with removable straps. Plus, it’s super easy to mix and match with accessories! 
• White Rosette Swimsuit – I love this brand for swimwear and linked two different styles here. I love a classic style swimsuit, but they always add fun, unique details to theirs. 
• Black and White Swimsuit – This specific colorway is almost sold out, but the same style is available in several other colors. This is another classic, but unique style that is worth the investment!! 
• Brown and White Striped One-Piece – I loved this swimsuit last summer! The shape is sooo flattering and the color looks so good with a tan! 

Shoes

• INC Riding Boots – You’ve probably seen these boots many times on me in the last few months – they’re just that good. The shape is super flattering (they hug your calves in the best way), the leather is beautiful, and they’re one of those shoes you can wear all day without regretting it by lunch. 
• Target Sneakers – These suede sneakers are only $40 and so cute with jeans, skirts and sweaters, dresses and jackets, athleisure… the list goes on and on. This pair is super similar to a designer pair that retails for $950!! 

Jewelry & Accessories 

• Oversized Gold Earrings – I’m obsessed with these gold stud earrings. There is a massive pearl right in the middle, which adds a classy detail! (Shown above.)
• JW Pei bags – This is one of my go-to brands for affordable, stylish bags. I bought a few this year during the Nordstrom Sale and have continued to add to my collection throughout the seasons. They’re designer inspired so they’re super stylish, but a fraction of the price! 
• Lack of Color straw hat – This hat is one of my FAVORITE summer accessories! I have taken it on more trips than I can count, have worn it by the beach and pool, wear it outside all the time, and it still looks brand new! The natural straw color goes with everything and I love that the wide brim covers and protects my face from the sun. I can’t recommend this hat more!! (Seriously, I think I am going on more than three years with this hat.)
• Miu Miu Sunglasses – These sunglasses stayed on the best sellers list all year long – and I’m still obsessed with them! As someone with a smaller face, it’s always tough to find sunglasses that fit just right, but these are perfect. I wear them constantly, and they’ve quickly become my go-to pair!
• Amazon Oval Sunglasses – These retro sunglasses are an absolute must-have for transitioning from winter to spring! With a stylish tortoise print, they strike the perfect balance between trendy and classic, making them easy to pair with any outfit. Plus, they’re an affordable find at just $15 on Amazon!
• Fur head wrap – This fur hat was the must-have item of the winter last year and I’ve already pulled it out for this year! It keeps me so warm while looking super stylish. Plus, this headband comes in multiple colors, so there’s a perfect one for everyone! I seriously hope these never go out of style – they’re just too cute!
• Electric Picks Bracelet – These bracelets are inspired by the stunning Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra design, which retails for over $6,000. This version, however, is just $88 – offering the same high-fashion, designer-inspired look for a fraction of the price! It’s GORGEOUS in person.

Beauty

• Shark FlexStyle – I discovered the Shark FlexStyle this year (after getting a haircut with many layers) and LOVE how I can give myself a salon-style blowout at home. It is so much easier to use than my curling wand, and gives big, bouncy curls and lots of volume. (My tip is to use it on damp hair.) I used the Shark all year long, but discovered the T3 Aire 360 at the end of the year, which I actually like better. I am currently using the T3 – but truly they are very similar so you can’t go wrong with either.
• Fall Beauty Products – When the season starts to turn, I like to update my makeup bag with a few new products that come in deeper fall colors. This bronzer is beautiful, but dare I say the packaging is even prettier? This lipstick is my new favorite shade (in the color N2 Dolce) – it is the perfect wine/burgundy/plum color for fall. And finally, THIS HAIRBRUSH! I’ve never seen such a beautiful hairbrush – the tortoise color is perfect and it’s small enough to keep in my handbag.
• Tanning Mousse – I’ve been using this tanning mousse for YEARS, and nothing compares. It gives me the best color – no streaks, no orange tones, just a natural, sun-kissed glow. I love that I can apply it and rinse off in just two hours, and it continues to develop for up to 24 hours. It’s perfect for when I want a tan without spending hours in the sun. I prefer to keep my skin out of the sun, and this mousse gives me the best natural color! (It also doesn’t smell and doesn’t transfer onto sheets or clothing.)
• Etoile Toiletry Bag – A brand gifted me this toiletry bag and it ended up being one of my most-used and most-loved items all year long. It is SO chic and something about the design enables it to hold SO much inside. Like, it’s seriously surprising how many products I can stuff in there, haha.

If you bought anything from me this year… I’d love to know which item! Thank you for following and supporting me this year!!!
