December’s Top 10

December was a fun month to browse online and do my Christmas shopping because everything was on sale. On Fridays, I try to write a blog post dedicated to my favorite finds and sales that week to make it easy for you guys to shop. This month, I posted a lot of gift guides and items I couldn’t live without this month.

As an affiliate blogger, I can track to see what links are clicked are my blog and analytics tell me the post popular links each month. This information helps me determine what you guys like to see on Blonde Rosie. When links are clicked and purchases are made with the links, Blonde Rosie receives a very small commission which is then used to support this website. I started this blog as a hobby and luckily was able to find a program that helped me make money with my blog. I am so appreciative of every link clicked and every photo liked on my social media. There is a lot of planning that goes into each blog post and photo on Instagram so it means the world to me when my readers use my blog to shop!

Now here are the top ten items on the blog this month…

  1. Slippers
  2. City Coat
  3. City Sidewalk Skirt
  4. Cozy Robe
  5. Embroidered Sweater
  6. Off the Shoulder Sweater
  7. Vail Parka
  8. Batiste Dry Shampoo
  9. Sweater
  10. Flannel Pajama Pants

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! There is just something so exciting about a Friday before a holiday. Everyone at work is more relaxed and eager to start the long weekend. I was up late on Thursday getting everything packed and the car loaded up to head to North Carolina as soon as I got out of work. We have a long drive ahead of us so we want to get the drive done during the night so we have all day Saturday to enjoy our day off not in a car.

It was a crazy week leading up to Christmas but I am so happy that all of the gifts are wrapped and we can relax for a 4 day weekend. I still had plenty of time to get together a few things that I loved this week to share with you all.

  • I received an early Christmas present from Santa (the boyfriend) and got the new Emily Ley Simplified Planner for 2019! Emily Ley is also starting her Simplicity Challenge in January and I love how she finds ways to simplify your life that only take a few minutes a day.
  • I am wishing I bought this sweater earlier to wear for our family Christmas party. I love any outfit that is cute and dressy!
  • If you are a fan of the classic J. Crew pom pom cable knit sweater but can’t afford it, I have a much cheaper alternative here.
  • I saw this sweater with pearl details on a few other bloggers recently and assumed it was a $100+ sweater from Nordstrom because it looked so pretty. Finally, I clicked the link to find out it was from H&M and way more affordable than I thought!
  • I have been wearing these slippers 24/7 lately!
