•trying on J.Crew fit and flare mini dress 00 - I have the shoulder straps pinned shorter one inch.

Shapely fit and flare structure with detailed trim at the bottom hem

This style fits me looser at the straps and bust and petites would likely want to shorten the straps.

Sale alert on this dress-

Trying on this Aqua dress in XS. The fabric is so flowy and light as air! I’m usually an xxs so the fit is a little big on me at the neckline with some gapping - the tie back style helps with the fit since I can tie it more snugly, but this would fit ideally on someone who is a true XS. Colorful lemon citrus and floral print is so pretty for summer events or a wedding .

A rare promo on all Babyzen yoyo stroller colors! Save 20% off for a limited time on the full stroller, or the color packs. The color pack is the fabric part only and lets you change up the color of your stroller.

• We’ve used this compact lightweight stroller for nearly 6 years now, as our travel stroller for each trip and also for city outings when we want a smaller stroller.

When we lived in a walk up condo, I would sling this over my shoulders using the carrying strap to go up and down the stairs with baby in my arms or a carrier.

• The stroller seat by itself can be used starting at age 6 months.

• However you can start using it earlier with an attachment. Starting when Nori was newborn, we used this by popping her Nuna Pipa infant car seat on top of the yoyo frame using a converter (sold separately).

This worked great going from car to stroll while baby stays asleep!

• This is also our go to stroller for any car rides and outings because it’s much more compact than our everyday stroller for lifting and fitting in a smaller trunk.

• to change the color of your Yoyo stroller seat and canopy, you can buy separate fabric color packs sold separately.

• For a high quality full size everyday stroller that can grow from accommodating 1 kid to multiple kids, I recommend the Cybex Gazelle stroller or the popular UPPAbaby vista. Both on sale and linked as well

Nordstrom Anniversary sale try ons: Mules that felt very comfortable and actually adjustable in width (almost never see this!) so they don’t slip off the feet.

Love how bold yet classic the red looks on a customer pic in the reviews!

I’m usually a size 5 to 5.5 in most brands, but the insole length felt a tad bit short for me. I would go with my bigger half size 5.5 in these, possibly even 6.

Such a gorgeous special occasion or wedding guest dress that comes in several prints! Well made with a full lining, corset too, bust cups, adjustable straps and back zipper.   Been eying this House of CB dress for ages and finally got this print in size X-Small with A/C cups.   Exact color I have on is "Ivoryfp”   Super cute and flattering but sizing and the bust cups can be a little tricky to fit for different body types.   I’m currently 5 feet tall about 96lb and this fits like a glove. In my opinion this size fits snug at the bodice and the waist is like a 00, and would be most flattering for someone with a B to C cup in order to fill out the cups a little more. XS waist measures 11.5” across the waist and 14” across the chest top.   Linking the same Elia dress style in different prints that are available, and another similar style without bust cups.  #petite friendly summer wedding dress

Gentle Souls ankle booties - a top pick of mine from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and still in stock

I got black last year and loved them so much, I hunted down dark brown and mushroom as well.

Size up if between sizes. I’m usually a 5 to 5.5 and went up to 5.5 since the front toe felt a little narrow. These have a cushioned insole, flexible rubber outsole, and a slim stretchy ankle shaft that works perfectly tucked under jeans and pants or with tights.

Note: this boot comes out in new iterations each year with a different style name, but I’ve found them to all be extremely similar. My 3 pairs all have a different style name (ie the Ella boot) but looks and feel nearly the same.

One of the best Nordstrom anniversary sale items each year in terms of high quality and fit for petites - timeless leather moto jacket I've had for a few years.   The 00 is a snug fit as Allsaints jackets run small, I would size up to a 0 if buying now. I did try on this years and the 0 fit best.   •Gap trouser jeans 24 petite runs long. The cut is very flattering and on trend but FYI even petite fits pretty long so I have platforms on. Waist is also a little loose on me.
 •BP top - old; linked a bodysuit I have
 • Schutz platform sandals 5.5

One of my absolute favorite outfits so far this summer. Feels Elevated, cool and comfortable.

• Vineyard Vines white cotton poplin skirt xxs. Their size chart seems accurate. Xxs Fits 12” across the waist with stretch. Midi length, lined, pockets. Great quality, super versatile. Worth the price + shipping.

•Madewell vest 00 (shoulders taken up slightly) lightweight and slim fit

Low stock so I linked another knit black vest that is very chic with a slim fit (I size up to XS), just note armholes are then a little bigger.
•Nordstrom flats - the current version is linked along with Dolce Vita Reyes which is a little higher quality

• Perfect vintage wide leg crop jeans in vintage canvas 24 petite. One of my most flattering denim styles.

Petite sizing Length is cropped and mid high rise on me, while regular aizing sizing is higher rise and full length.

I own these in two washes (Altoona blue as well) and applied anti fray on the hems. would highly recommend!

• Schutz sandals 5.5

Summer Madewell try ons

• Button front cami xs -This has low reviews because I think it’s very petite proportioned and would be much more shrunken fit and short on someone taller.

I thought it was a really cute cotton peplum cami with petite-friendly proportions and adjustable straps

I sized up per reviews, and an XS fits comfortably. Elastic thin bands all around the waist for stretch. The waist placement and length of size XS are just right on me (5 feet tall!)

White cotton is slightly sheer so I wear adhesive nippies under

• Perfect vintage jeans 24 petite. these are some of my most flattering jeans. I own them in the Vintage Canvas ecru color as well, great to style with flats, wedges, or a low heel.

Classic elevated top + longer length, tailored shorts. I’m 5 feet tall for length reference

• Cap sleeve boatneck tee xxs - great better than basic top. Cotton / tencel modal blend is good quality, soft and smoothing, Slightly thicker weight. flattering neck and shoulder line, easy to tuck in.

• Harlow shorts 00 - tencel cotton linen blend. Feels like a similar material and cut as the popular Harlow pants, tho fits me a little better in the waist than Harlow pants in the same size.

These are a mid to longer length short.

• Madewell sandals 5.5. Love these. Runs a little narrow across the front toes

•Madewell belt xxs. A versatile staple black and gold belt

Bought these minimal sandals - low heel, comfortable straps, sleek and modern look. True to size

First time trying on Good American jeans from the #nsale , and they did not disappoint

• charcoal jeans 0. Size up - these are so flattering and comfortable with some shaping power! My usual size 00 did fit (great for a 24” waist) but for my 25” waist I was more comfortable in a size up.

Size 0 measures 12.25” across the waist, 10” rise, 26” inseam.

These are a cropped style but fit full length on me with flats, and they are wide but not too wide. Only a tad wider than my usual Madewell jeans.

These are a medium weight higher stretch denim with sculpting power at the waist, and the rise for me is perfect!

• Nordstrom sandals 5.5 - great look for less for my reformation sandals that i wear all the time, and so far they seem a little more comfortable too due to the thicker heel and wider straps. TTS. I’m thinking of getting the black pair too and will do size 5.

• Off shoulder top has little stitches that keep the flipped off shoulder part secured down! Ribbed knit, TTS. Armholes on the slightly bigger side. I Wore this with adhesive nippies

• dolce vita flats 5.5 @Nordstrom #Nordstrompartner

Linked my two favorite underwear styles:

• Chantelle one size for a “barely there” super lightweight one size fits most undie that is seamless for me under pants.

• Everlane high rise hipster for a more fitted, lightly compressing high rise undie that fits petites really well (I take xxs)

Also linked Bras I own on sale:

• gap wireless Breathe. Nice everyday lightweight bra with convertible back straps

• I also own a few these Natori bras which always feel pretty and feminine. they’re good for structured normal bras when my Neiwai ones are too casual or don’t suit my necklines. The Natori feathers starts in 30A and runs a little small so is quite small chest friendly!

• True and co is similar to neiwai in comfort and stretch. I have this bra because it’s a convertible racerback and their letter sizing fits a little better for smaller chests
