My Favorite Things
Pretty Garden Bougie Dress
This dress gives total bougie brunch energy without the bougie price tag. It hugs in all the right places and flows just where you want it to.
TIP: It runs true to size, but if you're in between, size up for extra comfort. Grab it in a bold print for events or a neutral for day-to-day glam.
Linen Palazzo Pants
Breezy, bougie, and so easy to wear. These linen pants give effortless vacation energy whether you're running errands or headed to brunch.
Tip: Slightly oversized—if you’re between sizes, size down for a more tailored look.
LBD
A little black dress that does the most with the least effort. Sleek, flattering and works for literally every occasion.
Tip: Fits true to size and has some stretch. Pair it with a strappy heel or throw on a blazer for a polished look that still turns heads.
Neutral Summer Wedge
This is the shoe I reach for on repeat. Comfy enough to last all day, chic enough to pair with everything in my closet.
Tip: These run slightly small, so go up a half size if you're between sizes. Perfect with jeans, sundresses or that Pretty Garden dress you just added to cart.
Grass Heel Protectors
Grass Heel Protectors
Co-Publisher of Beauty Affair Magazine, Dawn, wore these to Rose Soiree and could not stop raving about them!
TIP: They come in three sizes depending on your heel size!
Satin Scrunchies
Grass Heel Protectors
These are a MUST for protecting your hair, especially for those hair extensions!
TIP: It is a 5 pack, so make sure to always have one stashed in your bag!
