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!

Another Little Piece of My Heart

On October 24, 2013October 23, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

When I was singing in Nashville, one of my favorite songs to perform was Janis Joplin’s version of, you guessed it, Another Little Piece of my heart. It is one of my all-time favorite songs and she, one of my all-time favorite artists. And I’d like to think that perhaps it’s my love for classic music that drew me to this sweater, and not just a weakness for happy sweaters…

Happy, happy Thursday to you all! I don’t know about you, but this has felt like an especially long to me. Thank goodness the end is in sight!

Up On The Roof

On October 7, 2013October 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

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…

Vegas Recap

On September 27, 2013September 26, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that J and I were in Las Vegas last week for a long weekend and a bike race. We had a fantastic time and spent our days riding our road bikes through the Red Rock Canyon, attending Interbike, doing a little shopping, and (mostly) lounging by the pool. It was a fun and relaxing few days. But I have to say, my favorite part was the excuse to get extra dressed up for dinner in the evenings. And any excuse to throw on a little extra sparkle is a good enough excuse for me…

I don’t know about you guys, but I am so excited for the weekend, I can hardly stand it. It’s just been one of those weeks, I guess.

Thank you so much for stopping by-like I have said before, you all brighten my days more than you know! And if you haven’t yet, be sure to follow All Dolled Up on Instagram, Facebook, and Bloglovin’ (links to your right).

Happy weekend!!

Hooray For Chambray!

On June 25, 2013June 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Oh how I love me some denim. Whether it’s a great pair of jeans, a denim jacket, a go-to pair of shorts, or a chambray shirt, I am a fan of it all. Maybe it’s my Montana roots, or maybe it’s just because denim is something everyone can wear. Either way, if you haven’t added a chambray shirt to your wardrobe yet this season, then it’s high time you took the plunge.

Now the key to wearing denim well is to select ONE piece of denim for your ensemble. Unless of course they are contrasting shades of denim, and then it’s ok to do some layering. But I definitely prefer to pair mine back to black, white, or bright colors.

Lunch Date

On June 12, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love lunch dates. Whether it be with friends, my hubby, or my sweet co-workers, there is always something fun about “grabbing” lunch. Particularly during the summer months when it’s the perfect time to nab a seat on a patio somewhere. And as the temperature heats up with the progression of summer, sun dresses and maxi’s will definitely be my go-to for these types of outings. But for now, I am loving light colored, distressed denim back to a fun top, and over-sized bag. Oh, and as always, a cute (and comfy) pair shoes…

Where The Green Grass Grows

On June 6, 2013June 5, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Not only did J and I purchase a house two years ago that needed a complete gut job and remodel on the inside, but it also needed a total overhaul of the outside as well. And after countless projects and a lot of hard work (we have done the majority of it ourselves), we are literally one project away from completion-both inside and out. And since one of my favorite things about warmer weather is fresh-cut grass (both the smell and the color), I can’t tell you how excited I am to spend countless evenings on the back deck enjoying ours this summer. And I am guessing this also might just be the explanation as to why I am so enamored with my grass-green tote right now…

I am on the road again this week for work-which marks two weeks in a row. And while I love my job, I can’t even begin to describe how much I am looking forward to getting home tomorrow night, and spending a nice relaxing weekend lounging in our finished backyard.

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

My Vest Accessory

On May 23, 2013May 22, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

When I originally put this outfit together, it was sans vest. But one thing I have learned about blogging is that sometimes, the more layers and jewelry you pile one, the better the photos turn out. Apparently there are some instances where more is more! But I have to say that I think the vest really made this outfit complete, and not just for the sake of blog photos. And so, it should come as no surprise, that I am absolutely loving the vest trend again this summer. So if you haven’t already, denim or surplus, it’s time to add one to your closet!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. Mine has been beyond crazy and I am so looking forward to the long holiday weekend and having family in town.

The It Factor

On May 7, 2013May 6, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

There is always an “it” piece for me every season. Okay, well maybe a few different, “it” pieces. But whether it’s a pair of shoes, a new handbag, or a some sort of fabulous accessory, there are always bound to be a couple of key things that will top my wish list and be on constant rotation in my closet. And I have to say that this season, it’s safe to say that my pretty rosette necklace is going to be one of those pieces…

Instagram Filter: Nashville

I initially fell in love with this necklace when I spotted it in JCrew at the beginning of the season. But as enamored as I was, I just couldn’t bring myself to pay the hefty retail price tag for it. And boy am I glad that I waited. Not only did I get an amazing deal on the T+J version (which is excellent quality, by the way), but I was also able to pick it up in another color. I am going to have so much fun styling this necklace over the next couple of months-I can’t wait!

Sunshine On My Shoulder

On April 22, 2013April 21, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

It finally happened this weekend-the sun came out. We have had such a cold spring here in the SLC, it really feels like it has been forever since that’ s happened. Between all of the rain, and snow, and cold we have been having, I couldn’t have been happier that big, beautiful, ball of fire in the sky finally decided to shine down us. And even though it was a little chilly, it still seemed appropriate to wear a dress for the occasion…

Instagram Filter: Valencia

There are two items that I am wearing in this outfit that are absolute staples in my wardrobe. And on top of that, they are two things that I think every gal should own. The first is a great jean jacket. Perfection to throw on in the spring time over dresses or sleeveless tops when the weather is still a touch chilly, and also ideal for cool summer nights. And then of course, my tried and true favorite cognac pumps. Even though they are heels, the neutral color makes them feel a touch more casual, the color goes with everything, and the heel height on this particular pair lets me walk around all day in long in them. So if you are looking to purchase a couple of staples this spring, these are both items that should definitely be considered!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
