I am all about army green surplus jackets and they always seem to reign supreme in my closet this time of year. But truth be told, this camel color jacket has been my absolute favorite this season! It’s such a refreshing alternative to the ever popular olive-green jacket, and the gold hardware makes it feel extra special. It really is the perfect piece to throw on with jeans for all of those weekend errands and last-minute Christmas shopping!!

Sequin Peplum

On April 7, 2014April 29, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

I knew the second I saw this top in person that I had to have it. I had seen it on the Banana Republic website, but didn’t realize just how gorgeous it was until I saw it in the store. This top is absolutely the prettiest mix of a sequined floral print, with just a touch of neon piping. And I have to say, it is one of those extra special pieces that only seem to come around every once in a while. And even though sometimes they take a little seeking out, every girl should have a couple of these extra special pieces in her wardrobe!

Instagram Filter: Valencia

Sequin Peplum: Banana Republic (on sale!! check in store for additional sizes, also this top runs really small, I would size up 1-2 sizes), LOVE this one (on sale), similar, similar

Button down: ArdenB (old), similar (and also the best shirt ever!)

Skinnies: 7 for all mankind

Watch: Michael Kors via TJMaxx

Sunnies: Karen Walker Super Duper

Bag: Michael Kors Slema (old), this year’s version, LOVING this one

Pumps: Marc Fisher (on sale!), similar

Lips: YSL #1

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend! I know I for one cannot believe it’s Monday again already. Or April for that matter! These last few months have really flown by.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

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!

Pleather

On January 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I have been on the hunt for a pair of pleather pants for a while now. And wow, was a good pair hard to find! My only requirement was that just the front of the pant was pleather (I didn’t want to end up like Ross in his full leather pants on Friends!), and the back, a good ponte. And while there are lots of options on the market (and believe me, I tried them all), a good fitting pair was really hard to find. But as usual, thank goodness for JCrew for coming through for me as usual and offering an amazing option in their factory stores. And an even bigger thank you to my sweet hubby for tracking them down for me for Christmas!

I also have to say that I am loving the neutral color palette of this outfit. After all of the colors and plaids I have been wearing throughout the holiday season, something just feels really good about going back to the basics.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. Thank you for stopping by!

Casual Sparkle

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. Why is it that the things we look forward to the most always seem to go by the most quickly? But on a positive note, I am really looking forward to 2014 and all of the promise and adventure that a new year holds for us all. 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…

Party Pants

I have been on the hunt for a pair of sequin pants for quite a while now. And believe me, it was much more difficult than I could have ever anticipated. So I was absolutely thrilled when I found this fantastic black pair of sequin pants at Bebe for a steal of a price. In my opinion, they are the perfect holiday party attire. And while I am loving them back to plaid, I can’t wait to style them more ways this holiday season!

INSTAGRAM FILTER: VALENCIA

I can’t believe Christmas Eve is one week from today. In fact, I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. the Christmas season is my absolute favorite time of the year.

Hope you are having a wonderful week and enjoying all of the excitement and anticipation of the season-I know I certainly am.

Thanks for stopping by!

Buffalo

On December 16, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

I love plaid. Like really love it. But of all of the cute plaids I’ve seen this season, a classic buffalo check plaid just might be my favorite. And so when I saw this scarf at Gap (for 40%!), I knew it was coming home with me. And hats! Oh my gosh. I LOVE hats! I mean really, how easy (and fun) is it to just throw on a super simple outfit and a few cute accessories to really an outfit take it up a notch!
