FPF: Summer Round-Up

On August 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Does anyone else feel like Labor Day is the most bittersweet weekend of the year? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE fall (especially fall clothes), but it makes me so sad to say goodbye to summer every year (probably because I know a long winter awaits us just on the other side). And while I am looking forward to a nice 3-day weekend up in Park City with family and friends, I have to say that this girl is pretty darn sad to see summer go. So in honor of my favorite season, I thought I might post a round-up of my favorite All Dolled Up looks of the summer….

Thank you all so much for the continued support. I have exciting news about an upcoming collaboration with one of my favorite retailers that I can’t wait to share with you. So be sure to stay tuned!

Wishing you all a fun, happy and safe Labor day weekend!

Foiled

On August 28, 2013August 27, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love silver. And metallics. And sparkles. In fact, when I was in high school, my girlfriends and I loved the Spice Girls so much that we each had our own Spice Girl name. And I was Sparkle Spice. Go figure. So needless to say, I am loving the sequin and sparkle t-shirt trend this season. Especially when paired back to destroyed jeans and other accessories of a like metallic, for a sparkly, yet monochromatic look…

So I’ve got a question. What do you all think of my silver Michael Kors bag? I got it for a steal at Macy’s, but am on the fence as to whether or not it’s a keeper. Would love to know if you guys think I should love it or leave it.

Thanks for stopping by!

At the end of summer, I am never ready to put away any of my pretty dresses. So I always love to look for ways to prolong their use into the early fall season. And I have to say, that an army surplus vest, back to cognac accessories, seems to do just the trick…

I hope your week is off to a great start. I know I have another crazy busy one on the books. But on the bright side, at least there is a nice, long three-day weekend ahead of us to look forward to!

Graphic

I am really into graphic tees right now. Like, really into them. I love the idea of throwing on a tee-shirt back to a ripped up pair of jeans and then adding fancy heels and accessories to dress up the look. I guess maybe it makes me a feel a little rock and roll. Plus, it’s a great way to be super comfy while looking put together at the same time.

So I have to say, as much as I love graphic tee’s, I do find it a little difficult to find a good one. It seems to me that more often than not, the sayings on them tend to be a little young, or too cliché for me to want to broadcast on my body. So if you are on the hunt for one (and you should be!) the best luck I’ve had in finding cute, age appropriate graphic tee’s is at JCrew, JCrew Factory, American Eagle, and TJMaxx.

Hope you all had an amazing weekend. Can you believe that it’s almost Labor Day? I know that I sure can’t.

Transition

I hate to admit it, but fall is in the air. And as I feel the crispness start to infiltrate early mornings and late evenings, I can’t help but find myself drawn to more transitional pieces. Particularly anything leather, leopard, or with studs.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Whether it be home decor, clothing, or accessories, I love anything animal print. In fact, my favorite leopard pants are always a favorite on rotation in my closet. And with cooler temps just around the corner, anything leopard feels pretty darn fitting. Don’t you think?

I am traveling on a big regional visit this week and have lots of presenting to do over the next couple of days, so feel free to send good thoughts my way. I am going to need them!

Happy hump day!

Summer Nights

On August 19, 2013August 19, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Last night J and I went with some of our best friends to see one of our favorite musicians at one of the most beautiful amphitheaters ever-Michael Franti and Spearhead at Red Butte Gardens. It was an absolutely perfect night and we had an amazing time. And even though it was a little hot, we still decided to ride our vintage cruisers to the show so we didn’t have to deal with parking-and it was well worth the sweat. A perfect summer night that only served to remind me why I never want to see summer go…

While this outfit is extremely casual, I have to say that I am loving all of the playful colors. Red and pink are a favorite color combo of mine and I am loving the pops of neon back to the mirrored aviators. Who says comfort can’t be fun?

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Friday Flashback

I have had such a busy couple of weeks at work, that I keep finding myself daydreaming about our amazing trip to Montana. And I have to say, I think I’m ready for another vacation! But really, we had such an incredible time, I thought I would use my Friday post to share some of my favorite Instagram shots from our adventures with all of you! Enjoy!

Happy weekend! Hope you all have something fun planned to take advantage of our dwindling days of summer! Thanks again for the support and for stopping by!

Stud Muffin

I love studs. Especially the sort you find in fashion. 🙂 And I have a feeling that this fall is not going to disappoint. Studs are popping up everywhere from shoes, to sweaters, to bags, to jewelry-anything is acceptable. Including mixing different types of studs together…

Skater

On August 14, 2013August 13, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

Even though I am sure they are different today (and as silly as they still are), I can’t help but remember the names of all of the different cliques at my high school: the preppies, the slippies, the jocks, the popular kids, the smokers, the drama kids, the choir kids (that was me), and last but not least, the skaters. And I swear, when skater dresses became popular this year, all I could think of were the skaters I knew in high school. Silly story, but true none-the-less. And while, of course, I do love a good skater dress-I am especially loving them right now. Because they have a tight bodice, a higher waist, and a full skirt, they are ideal back to jackets and cardigans, which makes them a perfect transitional piece from summer to fall, or back to school.

I can’t believe that I have never tried a pair of Sole Society shoes before. I actually picked up this pair (for a steal!) when I was in San Francisco for meetings last week. And I have to say, I am super impressed. Not only are they super cute and affordable, but the quality is great and they are comfortable to boot. They have definitely earned a fan and a return customer in me!

Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for stopping by!
