Cardi

On October 5, 2015October 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

One of my favorite Fall trends this year is the long vest and cardigan look. And at the risk of aging myself (yikes!), when I was in college, this was one of my very favorite trends. So it should come as no surprise that I am pretty darn excited to welcome these kinds of pieces back into my wardrobe. But I’ve got to know, what are you all think about the longer length sweater trend this season?

Hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Booties

On October 2, 2015October 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but I cannot get enough of long-sleeve dresses and booties this season. It is such an easy and comfy combo, but always leaves me feeling polished and put together. Plus, it’s still been fairly warm here in the SLC, so it’s been a good way to break in some of my favorite Fall pieces while still dressing appropriately for the weather!

Dress: Nordstrom (LOVE! and it’s only $54) | Sunnies: Karen Walker (you can try them for FREE for one month-details below!) | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Carlos Santana(sold out), extremely similar

I am sure by now you guys have heard me talk about Ditto. But if you haven’t, it’s a really cool new concept where you can rent designer sunglasses for just $24/month. It is a FANTASTIC way to test out designer sunglasses to see if they are really worth the price tag, or a great way to rotate through a bunch of sunnies you have been wanting to try. If you are interested in taking the program for a test run, you can try your first month FREE on me! Just enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!

Happy Friday, sweet friends!

Tunic

Confession: I ordered this “top” thinking that it was a dress. But when it arrived, it was much too short, and the slit was way too high (yikes!) for me to wear it as a dress, let alone in public. Ha! But I loved the print and fabric so much (it is a nice, sturdy scuba material), that I stewed over how to wear it for a while, not wanting to return it. And I finally decided that it could indeed be worn be worn as a top. In the end, while I still wish it was a dress, I am loving how it looks with leggings, and can’t wait to wear it again when the temperature drops with a cute blazer or leather jacket.

Have you guys ever had a similar experience ordering online before?

Tunic: Shein c/o (I would suggest ordering once size up) | Leggings: JCrew (I SWEAR by these, AND they’re on sale for under $55!!) | Cuff: Forever21 (old) love this | Ring: House of Harlow | Sunnies: Karen Walker (rent them for FREE for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout, and then just $24/month after that for as many months as you choose!) | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Heels: Vince Camuto (old), craving these

Hope you are all having a great week. I am traveling again for meetings this week. And I have to tell you, the past few weeks have been so packed full of travel for me that I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that tomorrow marks the first day of October! Where on earth did September go? Cray cray!! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

Strappy

On September 28, 2015September 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Do you guys watch Project Runway? It is one of my FAVORITE shows. And in this past episode, Edmond (one of my faves!) made a gorgeous pant suit complete with a cloud inspired vest. It was one of my favorite looks of the week. And the gorgeous, strappy top that he made, reminded me of one I have in my closet that I’ve never posted to the blog. And so today, I thought it would be fitting to share a classic black and white look complete with a bright a lip. A perfect Fall date night look inspired by one of my favorite shows!

Top: Express (on sale! buy one get one 50% off!) | Skinnies: Gap | Bag: Clare V. (sold out), leather version, clutch version | Sunnies: Karen Walker via Ditto (try them for one month FREE with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Pumps: Jessica Simpson (sold out), craving these

Happy Monday, y’all! Hope your weekend was fantastic!

The Perfect White T-Shirt

On September 25, 2015September 24, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love to dress up and try different looks for the blog. But at the end of the day, I am a t-shirt and jeans kind of a girl. And let me tell you, I have been hunting for the perfect white long-sleeve t-shirt for ages. But it seems all of the ones that I try are too see-through, the fit isn’t quite right, or they shrink like crazy and don’t last. So I am happy to finally report that I have officially found the perfect white t-shirt. The fit is fantastic, it isn’t see-through at all, and washes up perfectly. Plus the fabrication is so lovely, I know it was worth the price and will last me for years to come. So if you too have been on the hunt for the perfect white tee, then ladies, this post is for you!

Happy Friday, ya filthy animals! 🙂 🙂

P.S. How cute is my little buddy in today’s post? Normally she is totally camera shy, but apparently she likes my white tee so much, she wanted to be in the pictures too!

Gingham

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.
