Concert outfit idea 🎶 Easy, comfortable, and petite-friendly — because I want to actually enjoy the concert, not spend the whole night adjusting my outfit. 😂 ❤️ Red tank: Runs true to size and comes in petite sizing. I’m wearing the regular size because of my chest. And it’s around $8, so… hard to argue with that. 🤍 Denim skirt: Mine is from Petal & Pup, but unfortunately it’s currently sold out, so I linked a similar option. 🤎 Birkenstocks: Linked a similar option here, too. An easy outfit for a country concert, a casual summer night, or honestly just a quick Starbucks stop before heading out. 🎶☕️ ConcertOutfit CountryConcertOutfit PetiteStyle PetiteFashion SummerOutfit CasualOutfit LTKPetite LTKOver40

A dress that makes you feel GOOD. 🤍🌸

The ASTR Bailey is such a beautiful wedding guest dress — feminine, flattering, and it photographs so beautifully. I especially love the way it looks sitting, too. The photos really show off the dress.

I’m wearing my usual size and it runs TTS. If you’re between sizes, I’d size up.

Paired it with my Sam Edelman block heels, and let me just say… my feet were VERY thankful. 😂 A block heel is always the move when I know I’ll actually be walking, standing, and enjoying the event.

And because I know we don’t all want to spend the same amount on a dress, I’ve linked a few less-expensive floral maxi options with a similar feminine/wedding-guest feel below. 🤍

Shop the dress + affordable alternatives below.

🩷Runs true to size
🩷Tons of colors + patterns

🩷Wear it traditionally OR crisscross the ties in front for a different look

I paired it with my comfy Sam Edelman nude block-heel sandals and my Kate Spade tote for an easy, classic date-night look.

A coffee run is always a little better with an outfit you love. ☕🤎

This rust-colored dress is one of those easy throw-on-and-go pieces that still looks polished. It’s comfortable, flattering, and perfect for coffee dates, running errands, brunch, or casual weekends.

It’s lightweight enough to wear now and will transition beautifully into fall.

I’ve linked my dress and accessories so you can shop the entire look.

The face-framing curl trick that changed how my hair sits. 🤍

I started doing this one little thing differently when I curl the pieces around my face, and it makes such a difference in how the finished style falls and frames my face.

It’s a tiny change, but sometimes those are the tricks that make the biggest difference.

I’m linking the BaBylissPRO I use + a few more budget-friendly curling irons if you want to try the technique without investing in a professional tool.

Save this one for your next curl day! ✨

Pool days, but make them cute + functional. ☀️🤍

These are the things I actually reach for from swimwear and my elevated swim cover-up pants to my crisp white YETI hat for shade and my pink YETI cup that keeps my drink cold and has a handle. 💕

And I LOVE our his + hers YETI Caminos for pool days. They hold towels, sunscreen + all the extras, but they’re definitely not just pool bags — they’re great for sports and everyday activities too. I love that they come in different sizes, including a smaller zip-top option.

Basically… cute things that actually have a purpose. 😂

Wedding Guest Dress Series | Dress #3 💜

This lavender floral maxi dress is so pretty, and that back is a total showstopper. 😍

A few details:
🤍 True to size—I’m wearing my usual size.
🤍 No hemming needed at 5’0”.
🤍 If you prefer a little extra room through the midsection, especially for a full wedding meal, I’d size up.
🤍 You may need a helper getting it on. 😂

It also comes in the prettiest deep red, which would be gorgeous for a fall wedding.

My go-to workout combo 🤍

I’ve been wearing this combo for my Peloton rides and genuinely love both pieces. I used to wear them for running, too, so they’ve gotten plenty of real-life use.

🤍 Puma square-neck sports bra — I LOVE the square neckline. It feels feminine while still being comfortable enough for a workout, and I love the way it looks on its own or under a layer.

🖤 Fabletics bike shorts — I wear my usual size and they’re comfortable, stretchy and stay put for my rides. TTS.

I also linked a few square-neck sports bras at different price points below, because a good workout bra doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. 🤍

Puma square-neck sports bra 💕

First impression of this lavender Petal & Pup dress… I LOVE it. 💜

And the petite-girl win? It’s actually floor length on me at 5’0” with no hemming needed. 🙌🏼

I’m also wearing an in-between size and would recommend going up one size if you’re between sizes.

The color, floral print, fit, and length are all giving exactly what I wanted from a wedding guest dress. ✨

The Bob Bend, but make it easy. 🤍

This takes very little effort and gives your hair that soft, undone bend without needing a complicated technique.

Sunday Leo energy 🌸✨

The ASTR the Label Bailey dress is one of those dresses that just makes you feel pretty the second you put it on. I love getting to show it outside because you can see the dress move a little differently—and the sitting view gives you a better idea of the fit, too.

These are even prettier in person. 🎀

I grabbed the Kitsch Ruched Satin Scrunchies because I wanted something soft and pretty for pulling my hair back 🩷 especially at bedtime without the tugging and breakage I can get from regular hair ties.

They also make a version specifically for fine hair, which I love.

Just a quick look at the quality and the gorgeous satin texture because sometimes you need to see the pretty. 🤍

A navy dress you can actually put on and go. 💙

This Petal & Pup smocked dress is true to size, and the best part for my 5’0” petite girls? No hemming needed. 🙌🏻

The smocked bodice makes it comfortable and flattering, while the navy makes it so easy to dress up or down. Perfect for summer, date nights, church, brunch, or those “I need a dress but don’t want to think about it” days. 😂

First impression…I was hoping I’d love this dress, and it did not disappoint. 💜

The floral print, feminine silhouette, and flowy fit make it such a pretty option for weddings, bridal showers, brunch, or any special occasion. It’s one of those dresses that feels effortlessly polished the moment you put it on.

I’ve linked the dress along with my accessories so you can shop the complete look.

This puff sleeve top is one of those easy pieces you can throw on with jeans, shorts, or white denim and instantly look put together. The feminine sleeves add the prettiest touch, and it’s lightweight enough to wear now while transitioning into fall.

✨ Sizing note: It runs big, so I recommend sizing down for the best fit.

A little romance, a little denim, a little emotional damage. 😂📚

See Me by Tella Alvarez was this week’s Weekend Read Romance Edition, and while the book may have emotionally wrecked me a little… I do really love this outfit. 😂

Petite-Friendly Top That Runs Big | Size Down One

If you’re thinking about grabbing this top, my biggest tip is to size down one size for the best fit. It has a relaxed, oversized fit, so going down gives it a more flattering look while still feeling comfortable.

I love styling it with denim shorts now and jeans later for an easy summer-to-fall transition. It’s a versatile staple that can be dressed up with wedges or kept casual with sneakers or sandals.

Can you wear black to a wedding? 🖤 Absolutely.

This French Connection dress is such a pretty option for cocktail attire or an evening wedding. The square neckline keeps it feeling feminine, while statement accessories make the whole look feel polished.

I’m wearing an XS — true to size, zipped easily, and the zipper feels really nice quality.

Do your curls actually last? 👀

If you have fine hair, the way you use a clamp curling iron can make a BIG difference. Instead of starting at the ends and rolling everything up, try starting at the root and working your way down the section.

Clamp → release → move down → clamp again.

This helps create lift at the root while building the curl through the length of your hair — without loading your hair down with a ton of product.

For this look, I used:
✨ BaByliss curling iron
✨ Color Wow Style On Steroids Texture Spray

✨ Color Wow Texas Hold’em Big Hold Hairspray

I’ve been using the Texas Hold’em hairspray for a few weeks now, and I’m really liking it — especially for our Texas humidity. 🙌🏼

Fine hair approved. Minimal products, maximum bounce.

Everything I used is linked below. 🤍

Save this for your next curl day!

Gel powder to take away the oil… because cakey isn’t the look. 👀

My Go-To Short Hair Styling Routine

How to Get the Perfect Face-Framing Curls on Short Hair

If your face-framing pieces never seem to fall quite right, this simple curling technique makes all the difference. I use a small curling iron, set each curl with clips while it cools, then finish with a lightweight texture spray for soft movement and lasting volume.

Brows that last at the pool? YES. 🙌🏻

If your brows disappear the second you hit the water, this is one summer beauty find I’m keeping: Revlon ColorStay Micro Easy Liner.

It gives me an easy, defined brow that holds up for pool days without making my routine complicated. ☀️

And for the rest of the pool-day look, I’m also loving this Hurley swim cover-up — easy to throw on over a swimsuit and go.
