Neon Mono

On February 26, 2014February 25, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love a good monochromatic combination. And while my instinct is usually to use neutrals for monochromatic looks, this necklace/sweater combo has convinced me that it works really well with with color (especially neon!) too!!

Hope you are all having a great week so far! I am in Wyoming on a work trip braving the severe cold. Kind of a shock to the system after 10 days in Nicaragua and spring-like temps in the SLC! Brrrrrrrr….

Pump It Up

On February 10, 2014February 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am definitely a high heel kind of girl. Not a huge fan of flats, and while I do love boots, if I had my choice, let’s be honest, I’d wear a fab pair of pumps everyday. And so it should come as no surprise that this season I am especially loving making a statement with my footwear. Don’t you just love that shoes aren’t just shoes anymore, but rather outfit completing accessories?

I had such a fun weekend in Chicago with friends (of course it went by way too fast). But I couldn’t be happier to be home with my sweet family. Well that, and the fact that we are only 2 days away from heading back to Nicaragua for a little vacay. And let me tell you, I am so excited I can hardly stand it. You can see my pics from last year’s vacation to the darling town of San Juan Del Sur here.

Happy Monday!!!

Sleeved

I have had my eye on this leopard sleeved Townsen sweatshirt for SO LONG! But I just couldn’t justify paying full price for it (because I don’t pay full price for anything-seriously!). So when it went on sale for less than half price right after Christmas, I knew I had to pounce (no pun intended!). And I am certainly glad that I did. If you follow me on Instagram (AllDolledUpBlog), then you know I rocked a very similar outfit to this one a couple of weeks ago for a shopping date with one of my best friends at Nordstrom. And there was so much interest in the details of my look, that I decided it should make an appearance on the blog. So all of you ladies who wanted outfit details, please see below!

I hope that you all had a most wonderful Super Bowl weekend! We had a great weekend skiing at the resorts and in the backcountry, celebrating the 4th birthday of one of our very favorite little guys, and of course cheering on the Seahawks and the Broncos in the Super Bowl! It’s not very often that all your homies from the west make it into the big dance. So even though we may have slightly sided with the Broncos (Peyton is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met), it was still pretty rad to see the west represent!

Happy Monday!

Polka Dots

On January 29, 2014January 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

There was a period in time when I went a little overkill on the whole polka dot thing, so I made a conscious effort to cut back. And in doing so, it’s been quite a while since I posted a polka dot look on the blog. So after a nice little hiatus, I finally feel like now is the appropriate time to bring polka dots back to All Dolled Up! Not to mention that it has been unseasonably warm here in Utah this week, and this sweater is the perfect transitional piece that feels fitting for a winter that is beginning to feel an awful lot like spring…

I am on the road again for work this week. And between vacation and work trips, will be on the road every week for the next 5 weeks! I guess I better get really comfortable living out a suitcase until March! Sheesh!!!

Happy hump day!

Neutral

On January 23, 2014January 23, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Even though I am a color person, sometimes there is nothing I crave more than a basic neutral outfit without any color what-so-ever. It is such a chic, blank slate and something about that just feels so refreshing. But I have to tell you, that when it came time to photograph this outfit, my husband laughed at me! Like, an actual, audible, are you really wearing that kind of a laugh! Turns out he thinks my vest looks like a shag rug! And I have to say, I think he’s right. But on the other hand, I also have to say that I love this vest. I tried to hunt down the original jacket version that was popular on so many blogs earlier this season, but didn’t have any luck. So I was thrilled to stumble upon it as a vest. And not only is it a vest (and I’m pretty obsessed with vests) but it’s super cozy and soft, and it even has pockets. So at the end of the day, I love it and am resolved to rock it-even if my husband thinks I look like I’m wearing a giant piece of carpet for a top!

Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. I must admit, I am feeling a little sad that it’s all over.

And with that, I thought I might share yet another holiday plaid look on the blog today, but this time layered with a little sparkle. A look that is casual enough to wear during the daytime, or perfect for a cozy New Year’s eve spent at home…

Peppermint Plaid

When I think of holiday fashion, I think about dressing up-sequins and sparkles, high heels and statement jewelry, and lots and lots of red. But one thing I don’t often plan, or think about for that matter, is a comfy, cozy outfit to wear for lounging around on Christmas in between opening presents and dinner festivities. And so today, I wanted to share a look that is festive enough to wear for the holidays, while still being super comfy and at the same time!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve to all of you! I am so excited for this week, I really can hardly stand it. This is my absolute favorite time of the year and I am so happy to be celebrating with family and remembering the real reason for the season.

Glam

On December 9, 2013December 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve learned a lot about my own personal style since I started on the journey of writing this blog. I’ve learned that I like pants and jeans. A lot. I only like to wear dresses and skirts in the warm summer months. I hate tights. But I really like button down shirts. I love jewelry and accessories, but even though I own a lot of fun costume jewelry (and good jewelry too), I find that I tend to gravitate towards the same pieces on a daily basis. And while I probably dress up a little more than most of my friends, I would still define my style as casual. I’ve learned that glam isn’t necessarily a go-to look for me, but it is definitely one that I enjoy every now and again-especially when I feel like changing things up during the winter months. And I have found that perhaps the easiest, no-fuss way to achieve a glam look (while still maintaining a casual vibe), is pairing a faux (of course!) fur vest, a pair of over-the-knee boots, some chic gold jewelry, and a bold red lip back to a simple sweater and favorite pair of jeans. A glam look that even the most casual of us gals can easily achieve…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I have been miserably sick, but still managed to salvage somewhat of a decent weekend-with the highlight being soaking my aches and cough away in the hot tub with Christmas music playing in the background, and snow falling all around. Sick or not, this really is the most wonderful time of the year!
