Happy Monday, friends… and welcome back to Hello Summer week!! I am thrilled that you’re pumped for our new GLxHSP Collection!
The Hello Summer Collection launches this Wednesday, May 18 at 10am CDT, but my beloved email subscribers will have Early Shopping Access tomorrow at 6pm CDT!! That’s an extra day to shop before everyone else!

Today I’m excited to share the complete Buying Guide with you… a breakdown of every style in the Collection, including available color ways and sizing information. My beautiful friend, Ryanne, is also joining us to show the collection on a gorgeous size 12 figure!
And just as with all our Collections, we color-matched across all styles so everything mix-and-matches! Let’s get started!
Sizing info: I’m 5’4″, 32B, and wear a size 2/size 26 jeans. Ryanne is 5’4″, 36DD, and size 12.
DRESSES
PARADISE SMOCKED WAIST DRESS //
Smitten is an understatement when it comes to the Paradise Smocked Waist Dress! Not only are the prints incredibly fun, but the silhouette is both flattering and comfy! The wide smocked waist sits comfortably at your waist or hips, wherever you prefer, and the relaxed sleeve falls at just the right part of the arm.
The buttons are fully operational, and it has a flirty tiered skirt. Keep it casual with flat sandals, or dress it up with heels or wedges.
Sugarplum Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, and Ryanne is wearing Large.

ISLA MAXI DRESS //
You know I have to include a flowing maxi dress in every Summer Collection… I just love the style for so many occasions! The Isla Maxi Dress has Grecian vibes, in an easy-to-wear silhouette.
The waistband has a scalloped trim and sits higher on the body for an elongating effect, and the v-neck is so flattering on the bust-line and shoulders. We made it using the best fabric for the season, with a touch of stretch for a forgiving fit. Good luck choosing which color way you like best!

CABANA DRESS //
The hero piece of the Hello Summer Collection, the Cabana Dress makes a statement in every way! We’re crazy for the bold colors and happy pattern, and the oversized bell sleeve is as flattering as it is fun!
Made of a super-soft cotton poplin, it’s both crisp and drapey. It’s fully-lined with a slight a-line shape for a universally-flattering fit.
Sugarplum Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, and Ryanne is wearing Large. If you’re in-between sizes, you could go down in this one.

SANCTUARY MAXI DRESS //
Pack your bags, because the Sanctuary Maxi Dress is vacation-ready! Made of the best flowy fabric with a touch of stretch, it’s so soft and breezy. You know we’re crazy for the color blocking, and the elastic back creates a comfortable and forgiving fit.

DECKED OUT DAY DRESS //
Surprise! We brought back the best-selling Decked Out Day Dress from last year’s popular Summer of Fun Collection… but this time it’s in the most incredible forgiving fabric that stretches and moves with your body. Basically, it fits the boobs even better than before!
It has the cutest ruffle neck, a-line shape, and comes in the best color ways! And of course, pockets!

TOPS & COVER-UPS
OCEANSIDE V-NECK TEE //
Tees are a staple in Summertime, so we made our Oceanside tee of the softest cotton, and gave it a flutter sleeve for a cool and flattering fit. The v-neck is bra-friendly, and each has the cutest trim for a little more pizzazz.

BOCA CHICA HALTER BODYSUIT //
I love bodysuits, but don’t always love the figure-hugging shape… so we changed all that with the Boca Chica Halter Bodysuit! Made of a flowing fabric, it has a relaxed fit on the top that easily drapes away from the body. We gave it a deep-v for a sassy fit, perfect for day or night.
And bonus… the bottom is a soft cotton jersey with a no-wedgie fit! Each color pairs perfectly with our Bungalow Palm Pant, as well!

BAHIA BEACH COVER-UP //
It wouldn’t be a Summer Collection without the perfect swim cover-up! We wanted the Hello Summer Collection to include everything you need for a stylish vacation, so we designed this chic cover-up to take you from pool to lunch with style!
Made of a super-soft cotton, it has a fun textured trim and adjustable straps. We gave it a side slit for sass and movability.

BOTTOMS
PLAYA SHORT //
The best-selling Playa Short is back, baby! And in the same show-stopping pattern as the Cabana Dress. Made of the same cotton poplin, with a leg-lengthening high waist and inseam. We kept the leg opening loose so nothing pulls or grabs.
Pair it with our Oceanside V-Neck Tee or the Boca Chica Halter Bodysuit.
Sugarplum Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS, and Ryanne is wearing Large. If you carry weight through your middle, consider sizing up in these.

BUNGALOW CROPPED PANT //
You know I live for a wide leg pant, and our Bungalow Cropped Pant is not only made of the flowiest stretch fabric, but in the cutest palm print for Summer!
We gave them a wide waistband for a smoothing effect, plus a side zip so everything lays flat. Wear them with any of our Boca Chia Bodysuits, or your fave tank and jean jacket.

I’m so thrilled it was helpful, she’s the best!

SO GLAD that having Ryanne join me has been helpful!!! xoxo, C
Loose sleeves – yay. And the prints are so beautiful.
Thank you so much, Renee!! We designed it for those steamy summer days and nights…in all the shapes I love wearing most in this Texas heat!
Yummy!!! ❤️
Haha, exactly!! 🙂
Love it! Question – is the bottom of the body suit the same color as the top? I.e. the black bodysuit is also black on the bottom?
Thank you, Rita! The bottom of the bodysuit is nude for no see-thru with white!! And in the softest jersey knit with a no-wedgie fit! xo. C
Love this collection!!! Will the dresses be offered in petite? I sure hope so! I have my eye on all of them!
Hi Holly! We’re offering it in XXS, which is the equivalent of petite-XS. I’m just 5’4″ and wearing the XS in everything, and you can see the proportions aren’t too long!
Beautiful collection. My favorites are the the t-shirt (in both colors) and the decked out day dress in that gorgeous blue. Can’t wait until tomorrow to get them on order!
Woohoo, I love those, as well!!
Gorgeous and vibrant and so fun!
Thank you so much, Lynn!! I can’t wait to wear it all!!
Love it all!! I have my eye on a few of those maxi dresses for sure. Congrats on another amazing collection! Xo
Thank you so much, Lisa! I’m so happy you love it! xo. C
Love this collection! On the Paradise dress, what kind of material is that? Is it stretchy; have much give to it other than the smocked waist? I love the polka dot one. Number one on my order list for tomorrow. 🙂
Hi Margie! The Paradise Dress is 100% polyester, with the waist being stretchy. Hope this helps! xo, C
Love all of it! Always look forward to your collections! They’re perfect!!
Thank you so much, Keri!!!! Cannot wait for Wednesday! xo, C
You both look beautiful! What is the fabric content for the Isla, the Decked Out Day dress, and the bodysuit top portion? Just figuring out what works for travel, thank you! Great collection and photo location!
Hi there! All three of those pieces are 100% polesyter, with the two dresses having a touch of stretch. Hope this helps! xo, C
Hi Cassie!
Random question, but do the Miller flip flops ever go on sale? They are so cute but I’d have a hard time paying full price for them 🙂 Thanks!!
Hi Dana!! Some of the colorways do get marked down on occasion, and I always try to let y’all know when they do!! xo, C
Loving those dresses!!! And I think the body suits would get a lot of wear.. looks great 🙂
Thank you, Laura!!!! The bodysuits are the unsung hero of this collection… so dang versatile!!! xo, C
