Not all loafers deserve a spot in your closet. Some look good… but punish your feet by noon.Others feel fine… but lack sophistication.This one does it ALL with an airy, breathable twist. This style from @vivaia is a rare find: structured, polished, and comfortable enough for long days on your feet. The toe looks sleek, but has a roomy, wide-foot-friendly fit and arch support that doesn’t quit.I’ve been reaching for these so often, my other flats are starting to feel a little nervous. If you’ve been searching for the loafer… this might be it.work shoes | comfortable flats | loafers

I've been living in this easy breezy summer dress from @quince. The ruffled shoulders add femininity and the smocked bodice ensures a petite-approved fit. 100% cotton makes it ideal for hot summer days. Love the subtle stripes and cheerful blue color. Other colorways available. I'm wearing the XS. Pair with a convertible clutch and white sneakers for a laid back yet photo-ready travel look.

This silk shirt is the summer travel staple I bring to Europe every year. It's called the Amalfi for a reason - so chic, so breezy, so elegant. And it's now available in petite sizing! I'm wearing the XS regular and would love to scoop up the small for an even more tailored fit. Pairs beautifully with dark denim or white shorts for a warmer day. @lilysilk offers great quality for the price point.

You're closer to HYGGE than you think ✈️Here are the items I grab to recreate this Danish feeling of warmth and coziness at home - and the travel pieces I don't leave home without.

These little touches add warmth and softness, both when entertaining AND for boosting your own mood day-to-day:

• Slow down, put your phone down, and truly soak up the view, your coffee, or a favorite movie (preferably with someone you love)
• Lighting sets the mood & conversation softened by REAL candlelight is pure magic
• One can never have too many cozy blankets and throws on hand
• Treat your table and food as a work of art - plating & presentation make eating a moment not a meal

Tonight, try this: Dim the lights, pour something you love, wrap up in something soft and be fully there.

We need to rethink the Mary Jane for petites. Because the old rules? They're outdated.

Yes, some styles can shorten your leg line (especially in dark, high contrast colors)... but a refined, low-heeled version like this one from Ally Shoes does the opposite! The sleek pointed toe, neutral color, and lower vamp (the part of the shoe that covers the top of the foot) gives you legs for days. Yes, even at 4'11!

A little lift. A cleaner shape. A longer line.

Petite styling isn't limiting when the design is thoughtful.

Petite-friendly linen set from Quince. These high-waisted shorts have an elastic waist and deep functional pockets. 100% linen, great for travel, easy care - breathable and relaxed. Style with a sleek white top for warmer days and sneakers for sightseeing. Dress it up with wedges when you want a more polished look. Wearing the XS in the linen button up and an XS in the shorts. @quince

The kind of dress that just works on a petite frame 🤍

The vertical stripe of this @quince beauty keeps everything feeling elongated (not overwhelmed), while the smocked bodice creates a naturally tailored fit—no alterations needed.
And the tiered skirt? It gives you movement without adding bulk 👏I’m wearing the XS.

Easy, breathable, and one of those throw-on-and-go pieces that still looks put together. #quincepartner
✨ Petite-friendly details I love:
• elongating stripe pattern
• defined smocked waist
• lightweight tiering that doesn’t overpower

Also sharing the other Quince linen dresses in my summer collection. I wear these all on repeat. They're also petite friendly - the other three have pockets!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

My go-to linen shorts set for travel! This 100% linen set from @quince takes versatility to new heights.

When you want to look put together… without overthinking it. Two effortless options from @quince I keep reaching for this season:

• an easy, feminine dress that instantly feels polished
• a breathable linen set that’s relaxed—but still elevated

Both are simple, versatile, and actually work for a petite frame (no overwhelming fabric, no awkward proportions). Wearing the XS in the dress and XS in the linen shorts and blouse. The bags are also from Quince. I’m 4’11 for sizing reference. #quincepartner #liketkit

100% European Linen Midi Dress with Pockets

I especially love the deep functional pockets and polished design—it’s the kind of classic linen midi dress that works for sightseeing, dinners, or cultural travel where you want to stay modest and comfortable. #QuincePartner @quince

This linen fit and flare midi dress is one of my favorite warm-weather travel dresses. The 100% European linen fabric is lightweight, breathable, and perfect for summer days or vacation packing.

One thing I’ve learned after years in front of the camera: elegance is usually just a few thoughtful details.

The outfit doesn’t always change… the styling does - and it's built around closet classics. Linking a few of my go-to pieces here. 1) a striped silk blouse 2) a classic pleated skirt 3) a suede mini skirt from Sezane 4) a cozy cashmere sweater

Here are those pieces styled two ways:
• casual
• elevated

Feel like your spring outfits are a bit "off"? Here are three subtle adjustments that make a big difference: Proportion (skip long blazers w/ midi skirts - instead opt for something cropped) | avoid harsh contrast with spring colors, going for more subtle tonal dressing | and the most common, choosing a dark heavy shoe. This can visually weigh down your outfit, drawing attention to your feet. Linking all the pieces I'm wearing!

This pleated skirt is MADE for petites! Best fit I've found yet. I'm 4'11 for sizing reference and wearing the S. The color is "dark gray" but looks blue-ish to me. Many other colors available in this Grace Karin style. It's available on Amazon and can ship quick with Prime.

A classic workwear dress you can now snag for MUCH less at Nordstrom Rack (and in joyful spring hues). This is the Tabitha style from Maggy London. I'm wearing the 2P. Unfortunately, all petite sizing is sold out. Normal sizes are all available. Would make a great Easter dress!

Must-have for your next vacation: a 100% linen dress. Quince has long been my go-to source for linen dresses and linen pants. Great price point for the quality you get. This button up style has deep, functional pockets and a belt that helps define your frame. A great length for petites. Comes in multiple colorways. 4'11 and wearing the XS.

I think I found my ultimate vacation shoe! The All Day sneaker from VIVAIA checks all my boxes, it's sleek + stylish, supremely comfortable (arch support, cushion, APMA accepted as promoting good foot health), and you can toss them in the washing machine. These are heading to Hawaii with me next week. They also come in some really fun retro colors.

The elegant spring dress I’ll be wearing everywhere this season. 💙

This 100% linen midi from Quince is one of those pieces that quietly does everything:
• breathable European linen
• a flattering scoop neckline
• pockets (always a win)
• and a soft moonstone blue that pairs beautifully with neutrals.

I styled it five different ways—because the best pieces in your wardrobe should work harder than just one outfit.

Quince linen is my go-to for travel and easy summer days. Wearing the XS for sizing reference. I'm 4'11 measurements 33-26-36

The cheat code for longer legs? Monochromatic column dressing. When you stick with one color theme on top and bottom, especially with a high rise pant, you visually lengthen your frame. While I am pairing my Sezane Emilio trousers with a lighter blue sweater in this case, the look is equally impactful when you stick with navy on navy. Just be sure to vary the texture of the top for interest. I like a silk or cashmere sweater, linking two options for you below.

Don't know what to wear to work? A sleek pencil skirt paired with a lightweight cashmere turtleneck is a transitional spring workwear staple that will never fail you.

I'm wearing Quince cashmere, you can swap out the turtleneck for a cashmere tee or v-neck if you live in a warmer climate. The skirt is still available, but selling out quickly. It's an Ann Taylor piece available in petite-sizing. I'm wearing the 0P.

Happy feet sandals! This style packs in so much cushion. It's ideal for those who find their feet aching with traditional sandals. Super supportive, like walking on a cloud. An ideal travel shoe.

Cheat code for looking taller as a petite? Careful proportions! Here are my three favorite petite workwear silhouettes for visually lengthening my frame - 1) monochromatic column dressing with styles in the same color family. Wearing Sezane's Emilio trouser. 2) A belted midi skirt to define your waist. Mine is Ann Taylor with a Quince cashmere turtleneck. 3) Cropped blazer with a high rise wide leg pant.

Top layer vs bottom layer: Today's workwear look is all about ease. Striking a cosy, casual tone with a cashmere sweater from Quince and tie-waist trousers. The coat is a beautiful high-drama wool style from designer collective Fabrique. (Please excuse the awful lighting - campus bathrooms are pretty gross)

My block heels are sold out in red, but you can still snag them in a beautiful black and white tweed.
