American Eagle Part Two

First of all, I just want to thank you all for the outpouring of love and support yesterday!  I have been so excited to share this project with all of you and the response has far exceeded what I had hoped for.  So THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart.

Today, I wanted to share the details of my 2nd outfit with you.  Truth be told, I had done a shoot with another outfit but when it was time to submit the photos, I just didn’t feel right about it.  And I can’t tell you how glad I am that I trusted my gut and opted for one more photo-op with my favorite vest.  Because it was by far and away, everyone’s favorite look of the three…

Thank you all so much again for the love and support yesterday, and for following along with me on all of my fashion adventures.  I can’t tell you what it means and I appreciate you all so much!

 

Up On The Roof

When the weather cools down, one of the first things I typically find myself reaching for is anything leopard.  And while a lot of times the leopard pieces I wear tend to be shoes and accessories, it’s awfully hard to beat a good leopard top.  Especially when paired back to a fun moto jacket and a favorite pair of skinnies…

Gold Standard

I love the golden color of this skirt, the beautiful pleated material, and the hi-low cut. It is the embodiment of everything I love in a skirt. And even better than that, it’s just one of those pieces that every time I wear it, I am constantly being stopped and asked about it-which of course makes me feel kind of glamorous. Don’t you just love pieces that make you feel good like that? To me that is the whole point of fashion. A tool for us to use to express ourselves and build our confidence!

Blossom Boutique

I was so excited when I was contacted by a cute local boutique here in Utah to do a collaboration. I absolutely love finding new stores that have unique items, especially when they are affordable. And Blossom Boutique did not disappoint. In fact, they have so many cute items online and in store that I had a tough time narrowing it down. But I completely fell in love with this camo tee the moment I saw it. It’s super soft, fits perfectly, is a bit longer (which is always a bonus in a t-shirt), and has a price tag that can’t be beat. I can already tell that I will be styling it endless ways this fall. And given the current popularity of camo, I think it’s pretty safe to say a camo tee is a staple that every gal should have in her wardrobe this season…

Perfect Harmony

I am loving the sneak peeks I am getting through social media from all of the happenings in NYC for Fashion Week.  And I have to say that one trend I am happy to see will be continuing into the Spring 2014 season is black and white.  In my opinion, no other color combo creates such perfect harmony while being so chic and effortless at the same time.  Plus it creates the ideal canvas to add a pop of color, or a pretty metallic.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  Ours was packed with fun events-so of course it went by way too fast.  But fortunately, we’ve got a lot of fun things on the horizon to look forward to, including a mini Vegas vacay and a trip back to Nashville for my 10 year Vanderbilt reunion.  And believe me, I’m already planning my outfits for both trips and can’t wait to share them with all of you!

FPF: Summer Round-Up

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….

Pretty in Pink

Oh how I love pink. All shades of pink, and anything that comes in pink. And so, when I saw that one of the things on JCrew’s Fall 2013 trend report was mixing different shades of the same color, I thought I’d get a jump-start and test out the look with a summer outfit composed of a few of my favorite things. Which of course, should come as no surprise, are all shades of pink…

Happy Tuesday!

FPF: Sage & Harper

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a company called Sage & Harper asking me if I wanted to test out a bag from their line. And after reviewing their online shop, I was ecstatic. I have never seen such darling and well made messenger bags anywhere else and couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. And I have to say, since it arrived in the mail, it has become my go-to bag. I have used it for travel (houses my laptop perfectly), for trips to the lake or pool, for errands on my cruiser, and most recently, trips to and from the gym. It really is the perfect “anytime” bag and I just can’t get enough.

And because they are so fantastic, Sage & Harper is offering a special 20% off discount to all All Dolled up readers. How amazing is that?? Just use the code: DOLLEDUP20 at checkout!

Vacay

J and I are officially on vacation-and boy does it feel good! And even though we’re only two days in, we’ve already gotten to do some pretty cool things. Including seeing my brother play at one of our favorite watering holes on Flathead Lake. And I must say, while living out of a suitcase for extended periods of time can tend to pose various challenges, I was happy that I thought to pack my favorite mullet skirt, graphic tee, and jean vest, which made for the perfect combination of comfy, yet effortlessly cool summer fashion to wear for the occasion…

She’s Gone Country

I grew up in Montana, but ran off to college in Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University and chase the bright lights and shiny stars of a country music career. And through hard work and determination, I was lucky enough to land a regular singing gig at a bar downtown on the most coveted nights of the week. Oh how I loved that chapter in my life. And while I obviously made the decision somewhere along the line to walk away from it all and pursue a more “regular” life, I will always cherish my years in the Music city and Nashville will always hold an incredibly special place in my heart.

So last summer when a friend told J and me that the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville partners with the Sundance Resort in Utah every year to showcase the best songwriter’s from Nashville at Robert Redford’s beloved (and breathtakingly beautiful) resort, I knew I was all in. And so this year, when it fell over our anniversary weekend, I knew it was the perfect way to kick off our celebration. And a perfect evening it was…

And not only was it a perfect night of music in the mountains, it was also the perfect occasion to wear my favorite maxi dress.  I am so in love with the vibrant colors and soft fabric of this maxi-I just can’t get enough.  And while my hubby (along with most men) is not typically a fan of maxi dresses, he actually doesn’t mind this one.  Lucky for him, because he’ll probably be seeing a lot of it this summer! 🙂

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
