Gingham

On September 24, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

This gingham romper was one of my very favorite purchases of the summer. And because I’m not ready to put it away quite yet, I decided to change it up a bit and style it with a utility vest and booties to make it more appropriate for the Fall season. And you know what? It totally works and I am really loving the look. What are some creative ways you guys transition your favorite summer pieces into cooler months? I’d love to hear!

Romper: Ralph Lauren D&S (sold out), similar dress (under $20!), similar | Vest: H&M (old), similar, similar | Bag: Tory Burch (sold out), NEW fall version | Sunnies: Karen Walker (try them for one month FREE with ditto.com-just enter ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Booties: Vince Camuto (SOOOOO comfy!)

Hope you guys are having a fantastic week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Boots With The Fringe

On September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I mentioned last week that I can’t stop wearing dresses and booties together. And it’s true! I just can’t stop. Especially when it comes to long sleeve dresses and just about anything with fringe on it. But I know the whole fringe thing is probably a love/hate for most people this season. So I’ve got to ask, what are y’all thinking about fringe for fall? Yay or nay? Love it or leave it?

Dress: ASTR via Nordstrom | Hat: Nordstrom | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunnies: Karen Walker (use code ALLDOLLEDUP to try them for free for one month!) | Booties: Carlos Santana (under $80 and super comfy!)

And DON’T FORGET! I noted it above, but you can try my favorite Karen Walker sunglasses (or any other pair of designer sunglasses for that matter!) FREE for one month. Then you can keep them for $19 a month after that for as many (or as few) months as you like. You can even change them out for another pair! How cool is that? Just go to ditto.com and enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout! Enjoy!

Wine Not?

On September 16, 2015September 16, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

J and I were in Sonoma this past weekend doing a little biking and wine tasting, and even though the temps were unusually hot, the leaves were changing colors and Fall was definitely in the air. So I of course, took full advantage of the opportunity and packed some cute plaid and my favorite booties. And I have to tell you guys, wearing dresses with booties is my very favorite kind of outfit right now. And if you are anything like me, it is the perfect transitional combination while the temps are still warm but you’re craving Fall fashion…

Dress: Maison Jules (so comfy and on sale for under $30!) | Bag: Tory Burch (my favorite bag ever-loving the red color this season!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot | Cuff: Stella Dot | Sunnies: Prada c/o Ditto (try them for free for a month, and for $19/month after that for as many months as you wish with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Booties: Vince Camuto via TJMaxx, just bought these, and these are on my wishlist

I am sure you guys noticed a little site update today! lol I was repurchasing my domain name last night, and somehow deleted my previous format. Whoops! It is still a work in progress, but you guys will have to let me know what you think!

J and I are off again today and heading to Vegas for a bike race, a little pool action and a nice long weekend. I’m pretty sure between leisure and work travel, I have been living out of my suitcase (literally!) for the last 6 weeks. Kinda crazy, but pretty fun. Anyway, be sure to follow along on Insta and Snap to see more photos and video of our adventures!

Work It

On September 15, 2015September 15, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t often post many wear-to-work inspired ideas on the blog. You guys always seem to respond really well to my more casual and laid back looks, so that is what I tend to stick with sharing. But because dressing for work is such an important part of our wardrobes, I want to start infusing a few more of these posts into the mix.

That said, when I am looking for things to wear to work, I like to try and invest in classic and timeless pieces that I can style a lot of different ways. I also travel a ton for my job, so I also tend to gravitate towards fabrics that pack well and wear well on an airplane or in a car. And of course for me, even though I have to dress “business casual” the majority of the time, comfort still plays an important role in my workday wardrobe choices.

So if you are looking to improve or expand upon your current 9-5 wardrobe, but aren’t sure where to start, two staples that I recommend for every working girl? A go-to black dress, and a classic camel coat.

And don’t forget! If you want to try my Prada Sunnies (or any of my favorite Karen Walker sunglasses for that matter!) you can rent them for ONE MONTH FREE! After that it’s $19 a month for as many or as a few months as you would like! So if you are like me and love designer sunnies, but hate the crazy price tag, this is definitely the way to go. Stop by Ditto to browse their AH-mazing collection and use code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out to retrieve your free month!!

Casual Friday

On September 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good striped tee. Particularly when they are super soft and a little longer in the back than in the front. And my white jeans? Still going strong this fall season. In fact, I love this look for Fall so much, that this type of uniform will definitely be on repeat. I will just have to change out my heels for booties when the temps start to drop!

On a serious note, I also wanted to just take a minute and acknowledge today, September 11th. I still remember so vividly where I was and exactly what I was doing on this day 14 years ago. I remember watching towers fall while my roommates and I cried and clung to each other in our tiny little dorm room. I remember frantically trying to call friends who lived in in NYC to make sure they were ok. I remember how drastically things changed in those moments and how in the blink of an eye, things would never be the same. But most importantly, I remember those who lost their lives, the heroes, the first responders, the children who have grown up without with fathers and mothers. Every soul lost that day was so precious and taken from us much too soon. So even though life marches on, today will be a day full of reflection for me, as I know it will be for many others across this great country and around the world.

Hold tight to your loved ones, and never, ever forget.

Love you guys.

Black and White

On September 9, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

It doesn’t matter the season, or what’s on trend for the year. Black and white is always one of my very favorite combinations. Especially when paired with a bright lip for a little pop of color. Not only is it a timeless combo, but a look everyone can wear.

LIPS: Trout Pout by Butter London

So, when I was scheduling blog posts this week, I didn’t realize that I was posting the same jacket in two different colors in back to back posts! Seriously people, that is HOW GOOD this jacket is. I literally wear it with everything. So do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one. You can thank me later! 🙂

Happy Hump Day!

Leather and Lace

On September 8, 2015September 7, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love this time of year when I can transition my summer dresses into the Fall season. And even more than that, I love that I don’t have to put my white items away after Labor Day! Because as perfect as this white lace dress was to wear during the summer months, I actually prefer it dressed up with Fall ready accessories. And if you didn’t buy this FANTASTIC faux leather jacket last year (it is my absolute FAVORITE), it’s not too late, because Nordstrom brought it back again this season. It really is just that good (and it’s under $100)!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Can you believe we are back to another work week already??? I think ALL weekends should be at least three days long, don’t you?

Simple

Believe it or not, sometimes I have no idea what to wear. Honestly, I think we all have those days where we just stand in our closets completely blank, not really knowing where to start. So when I find myself having one of those moments, I’ve found that sometimes the best solution is to go back to basics and go with what I “know”. For me, that is a simple top (usually a tank), a favorite pair of jeans, and a pair of pumps. It’s an outfit I always feel good in and it’s typically appropriate for any occasion. Plus, it’s a great blank canvas to change-up with a fun necklace, statement pumps, or other great accessories!

Transition

You guys! Can you believe it’s September already? Holy cow! Where the heck did summer go? And while there is part of me that always hates to leave the summer months behind, I certainly do love Fall. Especially Fall fashion! And if you know me in real life, or have followed my blog for very long, then you know my love for military vests during the Fall season. And this year they are back again and bigger than ever! So if you didn’t snag one last year, you can shop my picks below (all under $100!)! A vest is DEFINITELY something versatile that every gal should have in her closet this season!

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should follow me @alldolledupblog), then you might have seen my post about these gorgeous Prada sunnies. I LOVE designer sunglasses, but hate the expensive price tag. So when I discovered Ditto, I knew it was perfect for me. You can rent a pair of DESIGNER sunglasses (think Prada, Karen Walker, Ray-Ban, Illesteva, etc.) for just $19/month (they even have prescription!)! You also get free shipping and can change out your sunnies as often as you want. How amazing is that??? And even better??? Try it for one month FREE by using code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out! ENJOY!

All About Those Shoes

On August 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have been wanting these shoes for a long time, but was a little unsure about the price tag. So after adding them to my Nordie’s shopping bag about 50 times over the last couple of months, I finally decided to go for it. And you know what? I am SO glad that I did. Not only are they super comfortable but they go with WAY more than I thought they would.

In fact, I wore them while I was in Seattle this week for meetings and literally had co-workers and people on the street stopping me to ask where they were from! Plus, since they are a perfect mix between a bootie and shoe, they are a great transitional piece for Fall!

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have fun plans to enjoy the last few days of summer. I’ve been traveling like crazy, so am just excited to have the chance to sleep in my own bed for a few nights!
