September’s Five & Five: 10 Favorites You’ll Want to Add to Your Cart
September’s Most Loved
THE monthly FIVE AND FIVE
Welcome back to this month’s edition of 5&5, your inside look at what’s trending in our community and what I’ve personally been reaching for on repeat.
This month’s mix is equal parts practical, polished, and playful, from outfit-elevating staples to little luxuries that just make life easier. Whether you’re shopping for fall fashion, travel essentials, or just a few fun upgrades to your everyday routine, these picks are all worth a spot in your cart (and your closet).

What You’re loving this month so far…
These leggings are buttery-soft, stretchy in all the right ways, and honestly rival some of the pricier pairs I’ve tried. My mom couldn’t believe how luxe they felt, and she’s picky! I wear size XL and love how flattering the flare cut is. A must-try for fall.
I also love their leggings (available in plus size), and the cropped version of these pants, too.

I’ve worn these tights for years, no runs, no snags, no drama. Just smooth, reliable coverage that actually holds up (even in toddler life). They’re a true staple for fall and winter outfits, especially when you don’t want to think twice about what’s on your legs.

This palette is the definition of easy glam. The neutral shades blend like a dream and last all day without creasing (with the help of this eye base). Whether I’m doing a quick swipe for the Zoom meetings or a more elevated date night look, this one’s been on repeat all month.

Equal parts chic and comfortable, this jumpsuit is a fall must-have. It’s flattering in all the right places and works just as well for a polished office look as it does for weekend plans. One of those rare finds that feels as good as it looks.

Pretty meets practical. These panties have been a longtime favorite of mine, and you’ve clearly been loving them too. With no visible panty lines and a barely-there feel, they’re undetectable under even the most fitted outfits. A little luxury that delivers on comfort and function.

What I’m Loving This Month…
Lightweight, compact, and easy to maneuver, this stroller has been a total lifesaver on our recent trip. It opens and closes with one simple button in seconds. It fits in the overhead bin on airplanes and makes navigating theme parks a breeze, with its large storage underneath. A true game-changer for travel days with a toddler.

This compact charger packs a serious punch, multiple ports, fast-charging, and enough battery power to keep all your devices going on travel days. It’s one of those things I never leave home without.
Lately, I’ve also been using this magnetic trolley strap to turn my go-to tote into the perfect travel companion. Toss in the charger, loop it onto your suitcase, and you’re ready for anything.

A true wardrobe workhorse. These sleek, smoothing leggings are just as easy to style for errands as they are for a night out. The fabric feels similar to the cult-favorite Ponte pant I’ve shared before, just a tad thinner yet still polished and incredibly comfortable. We are both in size 1X.

A strapless bra that actually stays in place, without wires? This one is a game-changer. Supportive, comfortable, and secure enough to wear all day. I’ve been reaching for it constantly this month for off-the-shoulder looks and strappy pieces. I wear size XL.

This setting spray has been my secret weapon for years. It locks in your makeup without feeling sticky or heavy. Perfect for long days, events, or when you want a mid-day refresh. I love how it gives skin a subtle boost while keeping everything in place.
