Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! First up, thank you so much for your excitement over yesterday’s announcement!! (See it HERE!) I can hardly believe this will be our 13th Collection… and I know I say it every time, but this one truly is my fave! I can’t wait for you to see it all when it goes live next Thursday, May 18. Make sure you’re subscribed for Early Access HERE!
I’ve got so much more to share from our shoot in San Miguel de Allende, but you can get a peek HERE and HERE.
Today I’ve got your favorite monthly series, my Amazon Fashion Finds! I had so much fun finding fresh, affordable styles for the season… in fact, I found so many I had to edit myself! I started these Fashion Finds over six years ago, and they quickly became reader faves. Finding the good stuff takes some intense digging, but I love the challenge of discovering such gems!
Sizing info: I’m 5’4″ 125-ish pounds, and usually wear an XS and 26 jeans. My fit tips and sizing recommendations are included with each description.
Dresses //
Dresses are really where Amazon shines in the Summer months, and I have a closet full of their stylish and affordable finds to prove it! Including this new shirtdress, which I already wore this week to a school event!
Made of a crisp, quality cotton poplin, it’s so lightweight and versatile. This classic shirtdress can be worn belted or loose, with the sleeves longer or cuffed… it’s all darling!
Fit Tip: It runs really big, so definitely size down. I’m wearing a size XXS dress.
Tie Waist Shirtdress (Color: Navy/White)
Leather Slide Sandals | Leather Woven Tote Bag | Woven Headband | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
This maxi also found its way to my closet, the fit and style is one of my faves (I already own it in another print!). It’s so soft and lightweight, with a coolness I love for warmer months. The straps are adjustable, and it comes in tons of prints… this new one is darling!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Tiered Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress (Print Floral 1)
Cork Slide Sandals (TTS) | Jean Jacket (Small, Jeanie) | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
The cutest one-shoulder midi with a sassy side cut-out! The top is a comfy, stretchy smocking, with a rayon skirt that is perfect for twirling. It’s as comfy as it is cute, and could easily dress up for a night out, or stay casual around the pool. Good luck choosing a color though!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
One Shoulder Cut-Out Dress (Black & Rose)
Left: Leather Slide Sandals | Woven Headband | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Straw Hat | Straw Tote Bag | Removable Tassel
If you’re not a fan of the cut-out, this one-shoulder dress has been the top-seller for the last three months, and with good reason … it’s as stylish and chic as it is comfy and affordable! I love this new floral print, and the punchy pink is darling. The top is full smocking for lots of stretch, and the skirt has a soft, flowy fit.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Smocked One Shoulder Dress (Floral-02 & Pink)
Left: Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) // Right: Jean Jacket (Small, Jeanie) | Leather Slide Sandals | Woven Headband | Color Tile Bracelets | Medium Hoop Earrings
Another one-shoulder cutie, this woven dress has a flirty ruffle top and flattering belted waist. It could easily dress up with wedges for a range of Spring and Summer events, and this orange and purple combo is super fun!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
One Shoulder Ruffle Dress (Floral Orange Purple)
Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
This popover dress is made of the softest cotton gauze, you’ll want to wear it on repeat! I love the pleated placket for added style, and the sleeves have a princess cuff you can wear long, or give them an easy cuff. Wear it with sandals or sneakers, and even over your swimsuit.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Pleated Shirtdress (Purple & Beige)
Left: Woven Leather Tote Bag | Color Tile Bracelets // Right: Leather Slide Sandals | Stretch Chain Bracelet
I don’t love the feel of this fabric (a thin, inexpensive poly)… but I do love the print and colors! It definitely looks like a boutique find that would cost three times as much!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Paisley Dress (Green)
Leather Slide Sandals | Leather Woven Tote Bag | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
Hello, chic! This crochet shift is incredible quality, and feels amazing on. It comes with an attached slip for full coverage, but is still lightweight and stretchy. The sandals are a great look-for-less of the popular Chloe sandals, but for less than $60!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Lightweight Crochet Dress (Birch)
Slide Sandals (TTS, Gold Multi) | Leather Woven Tote Bag | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
A little outside my comfort zone, but definitely a showstopper! This body-con dress is fully smocked for a stretchy, yet body-hugging fit. The full sleeves and tulip hem balance out the slim middle for a super flattering fit. Wear the shoulders up or down, depending on your level of sass.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Smocked Bodycon Dress (Floral Green Orange)
Strappy Heels (size up half) | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
I shared this dress in pink last month and it was a top seller, so I had to try another color! The navy is just as cute… dare I say, cuter?!? It’s a comfy smocked top with adjustable tie straps, and a long, flowy skirt that feels amazing on.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Tie-Shoulder Maxi Dress (Dark Blue)
Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
What this dress lacks in quality, it makes up for in cuteness!! A thin, poly material, it’s not going to win any quality awards, but it’s darn cute for summer by the pool or on vacation! I love the print, and the elastic top and waist is super comfy.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small dress.
Strapless Palm Dress (Hotpink)
Cork Slide Sandals (TTS)| Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
Right: Straw Hat| Woven Leather Tote Bag
Another darling dress, this one in a bold floral print I love! The top and straps are smocked for extra stretchiness and a better fit, with a soft, tiered skirt that flows. And it’s even got pockets!!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS dress, but would prefer a size Small for more length in the torso and hem.
Smocked Floral Midi Dress (Fire Orange Floral)
Leather Slide Sandals | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings
Tops & Tees //
I tend to stick with the same styles, so I was not only surprised that I even ordered this strapless sweater…but surprised by how much I loved it!! The quality is so good, with a flattering twisted front that adds shape. It’s a stretchy ribbed material that holds its shape, and is perfect for tucking into high-waisted pants and skirts.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small top.

Another fun summer sweater option… this one has a mock neck and quarter zip for a super flattering fit. It’s soft and stretchy, and a great alternative to t-shirts and tanks.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small tank, skirt, and shorts.

I know y’all love a ‘t-shirt with a twist’ as much as I do…after all, this one has been a top seller for months!! I was thrilled to add this flirty top to my closet… the body is a soft knit, and the sleeves a darling cotton eyelet. So cute paired with pants, skirt, denim, and shorts!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small tee and skirt.

Left: Pull-On Shorts (Small, Black a) | Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Flounce Skirt (T3) | Cork Slide Sandals (TTS)
Summer is for graphic tees, and I’m super picky about mine! They must be crazy soft, with a relaxed fit and cute graphics, but not cheesy. If that’s your requirements, too, you’ll love this round-up of styles I found! I mean come on… sunshine and tacos?!?!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small in all the tees. I sized up to a 27 in the jean shorts.

Skirts & Shorts //
You’ve seen this set already, I wore it non-stop in Mexico… but since I scored it on Amazon, it needed a permanent spot here! It’s absolutely darling, and I couldn’t love it more!! The skirt is a crisp cotton, but doesn’t wrinkle easily, with an easy, pull-on elastic waist. You can pair it with the matching one shoulder top, the halter sweater… or even just your fave tank or tee!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS in the skirt and both tops, but they run big, so I would have preferred a size down.
Floral Maxi Skirt
Left: One Shoulder Top (XS)Â | Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Halter Crop Top (XS)
Skirts are my go-to alternative to shorts, and I reach for them on-repeat in warmer months. These maxi skirts have lived in my closet for awhile now, and I love them with everything from tanks to swimsuits. They’re super soft and cool, and lined to the knee for no sheerness.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small skirt, tank, and top.
Maxi Skirt (Dustyblue & White)
Left: Half-Zip Tank (Small, White) | Clear Strappy Sandals (Size up half) | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets | Small Hoop Earrings
Right: Strapless Tube Top (Small, Hot Pink) | Stretch Chain Bracelet
Another go-to skirt, I own this pull-on style in a slew of colors and prints. Yep, a slew!! The elastic waist is so comfy, and the ruffled hem gives it extra style and sass. I love it with a jean jacket, or even over a one-piece swimsuit, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small skirt and tops.
Flounce Skirt (T3)
Left: Ruffle Sleeve Tee (Small, White) | Cork Slide Sandals (TTS) | Layered Initial Necklace | Stretch Chain Bracelet | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Half-Zip Tank (Small, White) | Leather Slide Sandals
These shorts are definitely a fun find, and the black ones had to stay here with me! A wide, smocked waistline that’s both flattering and comfy, with a full leg that doesn’t hug or pull. They’re made of a soft cotton gauze material… and bonus, they have a built-in shorts liner to keep you covered!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing size Small shorts.

Sets //
No question I’ve been on a sets kick lately! Like a dress, they are an easy and chic ‘one-and-done’ kind of outfit! But unlike a dress, you can wear them as separates, as well, giving you multiple styling options. I’ve worn this waffle knit set in beige so often (see it HERE & HERE), I finally decided to test other colors! I love the loose fit and henley-style of the top, with its comfy wide leg pant with elastic waist. Wear it with sandals or sneakers, or just around the house.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small set.
Split Hem Lounge Set (Pink & Light Blue)
Left: Leather Slide Sandals | Leather Woven Tote Bag | Color Tile Bracelets // Right: Slide Sandals (TTS, Gold Multi)
This fun shorts set is a linen-like material that’s perfect for Summer, and comes in some great colors! The tank has a flattering square neckline, and the shorts have an elastic backing and side zip. The front pleats are forgiving on tummies, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small set.
Linen Shorts Set (Purple & Khaki)
Left: Cork Slide Sandals (TTS)| Layered Initial Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Slide Sandals (TTS, Gold Multi)
You’ve seen these sets before, I’ve been wearing them on vacation for years! They’re a textured material that’s lightweight, but not sheer. I love the flirty ruffled details, and cropped fit of the top. The pants have a high side slit, so I reserve those for vacations.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small in both sets.
Short Ruffle Set | Long Ruffle Set
Left: Cork Slide Sandals (TTS) | Woven Headband | Layered Initial Necklace | Color Tile Bracelets | Small Hoop Earrings // Right: Slide Sandals (TTS, Gold Multi) | Stretch Chain Bracelet
Remember this fun shirt and shorts set I wore at the One & Only Mandarina (see it HERE)? I found a great look-for-less option, and in more color options! This oversized set is a crisp cotton poplin, with a relaxed fit and easy pull-on short. The inseam is longer, too.
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size XS shirt and shorts, but it’s oversized, I would prefer the size down.
Striped Button Down | Striped Shorts (Mango Stripe)
Racerback Tank (XS) | Cork Slide Sandals (TTS) | Leather Slide Sandals | Color Tile Bracelets
Swim Cover-Up //
Not my usual cover-up style, but super cute… don’t you think? It’s a soft crochet knit in the best colors. It would be darling over a solid color bikini!
Fit Tip: I’m wearing a size Small cover-up.
Crochet Cover-Up (Orange)
Cork Slide Sandals (TTS) | Straw Hat | Stretch Chain Bracelet
If you like that style, but prefer a less body-con shape… I’m crazy for this crochet cover-up! I even gifted it to Val and Suzie, and the three of us were twinning in Mexico!
Fit Tip: It’s one size fits all.
