The Perfect Summer Babydoll Dress

Happy Friday Eve Friends! I’m so excited to launch this adorable Jennifer Babydoll Dress that I designed with Gibsonlook. It’s officially available for pre-order in white paisley and navy gingham. To celebrate, we’re offering 15% OFF your entire purchase with code: HAUTE15. If you remember how quickly the Jennifer Shirt Dress & Smocked Puff Sleeve Dress sold out then you know that you better order quickly because your size might sell out before you get to it especially with 4th of July weekend coming up. Speaking of the Fourth, the upcoming holiday is actually the inspiration behind the dress design. I wanted a cute navy gingham print mini dress that I could wear off the shoulder to a 4th of July party and other summer events so I partnered with Gibsonlook to create the perfect babydoll dress.

The Jennifer Babydoll Dress is fun, flirty and so chic with a smocked bust and statement puff sleeves. I designed it so that the puff sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulder and both ways look so flattering on the arms and neckline. I know this will be a go-to dress for parties, summer trips, date nights, wedding festivities and so much more. It’s especially perfect for the 4th of July weekend coming up next month.

I absolutely love the smocked midi dress that I designed and launched in April with Gibsonlook, but thought it would be a nice change to go for a mini dress length for the hottest months of the year. I made sure to choose a breathable fabric for summer that is also wrinkle resistant too so you can just roll it up in your bag and put it on the second you unpack it. When it comes to styling the dress, wear it with sandals and a hat for daytime or throw on some heels and statement earrings to dress it up. You can also pair it with sneakers for an easy casual look. My favorite way to style it is to play up the boho-chic vibes by pairing it with a wide brim hat, layered necklaces and hoop earrings. Oh and the white is perfect for brides too!

You may recognize this dress from Beck’s first birthday party. I wore the first sample of the Jennifer Babydoll Dress for his BBQ themed birthday party and I got such great feedback from you all so I’m super excited to finally launch this dress today.

Design details:

I designed it with a cinched bust for a flattering neckline and plenty of stretch so you don’t have to deal with zippers or sucking in. I also made sure to choose a super lightweight fabric in a mini dress length to give you legs for day for summer. My favorite part is the option to wear the puff sleeves on or off the shoulder and the adjustable tie on the cinched bust.

Sizing:

Be sure to size down because Gibsonlook runs large. I am wearing the size XXS and it’s still comfortable a spacious enough to move around in. It’s also super bump friendly because their is plenty of room though the body of the dress. ***Full disclosure about the length: I’m hemmed mine 1.5 inches. Totally not necessary, but I’m only 5 ft and I like my mini dresses extra short.***

The white color is fully lined though the body so you don’t have to worry about it being see through. However, you do need to wear a nude bra or nipple covers with the white dress because the bust isn’t lined.

MY SIZING AND HEIGHT FOR REFERENCE:

Most people don’t realize how petite I am so and I understand that knowing my sizes can help you determine what size to get.
I am 5 ft and I wear a size 27 in high waisted jeans & smalls in leggings. I’m currently a 34B and take size XS/S in dresses and tops, smalls in sports bras, and XS-S in outerwear. I typically size down in Gibsonlook pieces. I’m wearing a size XXS in the Jennifer Babydoll Dress.

5 Fun Facts About My Mom with Sofft Shoes

May 1, 2017

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend! In honor of Mother’s Day coming up this month, I decided to partner with Sofft Shoes to give you and your mom a chance to each win a cute pair of sandals for summer. All you have to do to enter is look for the “giveaway photo” on my Instagram tonight at 8 pm CST and follow the rules beneath picture. For extra entries, you can comment with your favorite thing about your mom beneath the photo!

To celebrate the Mother’s Day Giveaway with Sofft Shoes, I thought I would share 5 fun facts about my mom too!

No, you’re not seeing things… my mom is in fact in better shape than I am! She’s super active between tennis, private cheer lessons and working out every day before going to work. I try to keep up, but I get hungry!

2) She is a former gymnast and college cheerleader and she coached me in competitive cheerleading for nine years. She still continues to coach young girls and even started a special needs cheer team, in which I also help with. We have coached our special needs cheer squad together for the past three years. We practice with our 16 girls every Wednesday evening and perform at four to five competitions each season. If you follow along with me on Instagram stories, then I’m sure you’ve seen some of their practices or competition routines.

3) She always know how to laugh at herself, which is super important to know how to do when you do as many embarrassing things as we do!

4) When I was about six years old my mom came home from a business trip and realized she had forgotten a souvenir for me when I asked for it. So without hesitation, she pulled out a bottle of water from her carryon bag that I later learned she had gotten at the airport and she pretended that it was magic bottle of water that would make my hair super silky, soft and shiny. Being the gullible person that I still am, I actually believed her! That night she washed my hair with the magic bottle of water and let me tell you…when she dried my hair, I thought I looked like I had just walked straight out of shampoo commercial! This story is important because it shows that she taught me how to make the best out of every situation and and how to make do with what you are you given.

5) I like to mess with her about all the bad qualities that I picked up from her like her poor driving skills, her non-existent concept of time (she’s always late) and her awful sense of direction. However, I did inherit a few of her good qualities like her ability to make people laugh and to always look at the glass as if it’s half full. I also picked up her perseverance, optimism and compassion for others. She’s always trying to help others in need.

Bonus Fact: She is super excited to wear her new Rio Sandals on our trip to Italy and all over the Mediterranean this summer.

Bonus Fact 2: She is only 4’11 so she is even shorter than me and I’m 5 ft and 3/4 an inch!

Bonus Fact 3: She makes the absolute best chocolate-chip banana bread and chocolate chunk brownies!
