Utility

On February 18, 2016March 3, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

One thing I learned when I started All Dolled Up is that my sense of style is pretty repetitive when it comes down to it. So blogging has been a great exercise for me to push myself to wear things I normally wouldn’t. But one item that has and always will be a favorite in my closet, is a great utility vest. And for me personally (all blogging aside), it really doesn’t get any better than a utility vest styled with my favorite leopard pumps, my favorite jeans, and my favorite thermal tunic top. So if you are looking for an easy, go-to outfit to add to your rotation, this is a great one that is super easy to recreate!

Hope you are all having a great week!

xoxo,

Abby

Whether you are in a relationship or a single gal, I think today’s outfit is a super fun way to dress up for a casual Valentine’s Day date without being too literal. Plus, I warmly welcome any holiday that gives me an excuse to wear a pair of favorite statement pumps. And because lace up pumps are going to be such a major trend for Spring and Summer this year, I’ve linked a few of my favorites below! Jacket: Nordstrom (tried and true favorite!) | Top: cabi (if you are interested in ordering this top, I can put you in touch my cabi stylist-just leave a comment below!) | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind | Scarf: scarves.net c/o | Cuff: Stella & Dot | Rings: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker c/o Ditto (try them for one month free with code ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout!) | Pumps: Jeffrey Campbell (sold out), similar, also love these, these, these, and these

Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

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!

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.

Black and White

On September 9, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

It doesn’t matter the season, or what’s on trend for the year. Black and white is always one of my very favorite combinations. Especially when paired with a bright lip for a little pop of color. Not only is it a timeless combo, but a look everyone can wear.

LIPS: Trout Pout by Butter London

So, when I was scheduling blog posts this week, I didn’t realize that I was posting the same jacket in two different colors in back to back posts! Seriously people, that is HOW GOOD this jacket is. I literally wear it with everything. So do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one. You can thank me later! 🙂

Happy Hump Day!

You guys! Can you believe it’s September already? Holy cow! Where the heck did summer go? And while there is part of me that always hates to leave the summer months behind, I certainly do love Fall. Especially Fall fashion! And if you know me in real life, or have followed my blog for very long, then you know my love for military vests during the Fall season. And this year they are back again and bigger than ever! So if you didn’t snag one last year, you can shop my picks below (all under $100!)! A vest is DEFINITELY something versatile that every gal should have in her closet this season!

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should follow me @alldolledupblog), then you might have seen my post about these gorgeous Prada sunnies. I LOVE designer sunglasses, but hate the expensive price tag. So when I discovered Ditto, I knew it was perfect for me. You can rent a pair of DESIGNER sunglasses (think Prada, Karen Walker, Ray-Ban, Illesteva, etc.) for just $19/month (they even have prescription!)! You also get free shipping and can change out your sunnies as often as you want. How amazing is that??? And even better??? Try it for one month FREE by using code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out! ENJOY!
