Off-The-Shoulder

On August 25, 2015August 25, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you follow along on Instagram (alldolledupblog), or Snapchat (alldolledupblog), then you know that J and I were on vacation in Montana last week. Of course I had good intentions to take a lot of blog photos while were there, but it was insanely smokey from all of the fires, and truth be told, we were having too much fun to work! Ha! But I did manage to get some photos of this outfit, which is what I wore to a family brunch on Sunday.

I am obsessed with this off the shoulder top because it is so comfy and flowy-a slight departure from a lot of the tops in my closet. And while I have been having fun styling it with shorts, I can’t wait to wear it with long denim and booties in the Fall. So fear not, my friends, styled the right way, you can definitely transition your off-the-shoulder tops and dresses into the Fall season!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I headed straight to Seattle from vacation for a week long leadership summit. And while I am looking forward to an inspirational week, I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed again!

Thanks for stopping by!

Layers

We have had such a mild fall here in the SLC, that I almost forgot how brutal it can be to have to take blog photos during the winter months. But boy, was I sure reminded in a hurry when we shot these photos on Saturday. I guess it’s time to break out the winter coats, and pile on the layers. And speaking of layers? Surplus vests over plaid and flannels is still a combo at the top of my list this season…

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Flannel: Express (the shoulders have sequins!! I LOVE this shirt!), non-sequin version here | Vest: H&M (old), similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), similar, LOVE this one | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Clutch: Michael Kors | Booties: INC (most comfortable and cutest booties EVER!)

Hope your week is off to a great start and more importantly, that you are staying warm during this arctic front!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….

Queen of Hearts

I love a great heart print sweater or sweatshirt-kind of takes me back to being a kid in the ’80’s! But a great print is always a super easy way to dress up an otherwise basic outfit. And who doesn’t love a great pop of cobalt blue? Blue is one of the colors this season and I am absolutely loving it!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It was freezing here in the SLC, so we ate lots of comfort food and warmed up in the hot tub! But the cooler weather definitely got me in the holiday spirit and has left me feeling excited! I love all of the anticipation of this time of year!

Happy Monday!

Girl About Town

My hubby races bikes every Saturday in the Fall. And after his race, we usually like to find a new place somewhere in the city to either grab a beer or a coffee and a treat to celebrate. It’s nothing too big or significant, but one of my favorite weekend traditions none-the-less. And because our Saturday’s are so laid back, my outfits tend follow suit and are generally some variation of the below. Jeans, puffy vest, booties, repeat…

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Tee: H&M (can’t find it online, but check in store!), also loving this and this | Vest: JCrew (my new fave and it’s on sale!) | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X (obsessed) | Necklace: Tiffany | Sunnies: Target (old), similar | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Booties: Lucky Brand (last year) this year’s version, similar, similar

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

Blanketed

I am a big fan of the blanket scarf trend. When the temps drops and there is snow on the ground, there is just something so cozy and comforting about wrapping up in one. So when I was in SF a couple of weeks ago for business meetings, I popped into Zara to check out their assortment for the season (since they are the authority in chic blanket scarves). And I have to say that while I was smitten with the entire collection (and a lot of other things in the store, for that matter), the scarf below was the one that stole my heart. And now that it has finally cooled off in the SLC, I can already tell that it is going to be a go-to item in my closet this season!

Instagram Filter: Mayfair

Jacket: Forever21 (old), similar, just got this one (it’s on sale for under $50 and MUCH cuter in person!) | Skinnies: American Eagle (love their new denim X-it holds it’s shape really well AND it’s super affordable!) | Scarf: Zara, similar, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Michael Kors | Booties: BCBG via TJMaxx, LOVE these

Hope you are all having a fantastic start to your week! And don’t forget to swing by my Instagram (alldolledupblog) and check out all of the great items I have for sale from my closet!

I. Can’t. Stop. Wearing. Vests. And I sure hope you don’t mind! Because if I’m not careful, between vests and plaid, I just might become some sort of broken record of a fashion blogger this season! And while I am pretty much loving any vest that comes my way, I want to know, what are you guys drawn to this season, solids or prints?

Booties

On October 28, 2014October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Today, I want to talk about booties. They are everywhere this season and I am absolutely in love with the trend. BUT I’ll be honest, I find booties very difficult to wear. I workout and bike and ski a lot, so I don’t have super skinny legs. I’m also short (not quite 5’4″), so I find that most booties can tend to make me look thick in the legs and even shorter than I already am! And that is definitely not look I’m going for! Ha! I’ve tried on countless pairs and always love them on the rack and on other people, but seldom like them on myself. However, I have finally found the trick to the perfect bootie for all you gals out there who are struggling with this trend like me. And the secret, my friends? Booties that dip down in the front, or that are a little closer to a pump than a bootie (like the pair in today’s post-a shootie, if you will). Seriously, I can’t tell you what a difference a little dip in the front will make for you and the length it will give you back in your legs. So if you have been feeling anything like me when it comes to booties-don’t give up! I’ve linked up some of my favorite, and (more importantly) flattering booties below!

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Sweater: Old Navy | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind, similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), obsessed with this and this| Bracelets: Stella & Dot, Forever21 (old), similar | Hat: Jessica Simpson via Nordstrom Rack (LOVE the Candied Ginger color) | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Booties: Jessica Simpson via TJMaxx (I can’t find these anywhere online-sorry!)

And last but not least, here are my recommendations for flattering booties: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, my faves, splurge

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Tuesday!

Plaid To The Bone

On October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Every fall (it never fails), I become plaid obsessed. Something about cool weather, football, chili, tailgating, scarves, and boots makes want to break out all of my favorite plaid shirts. So my apologies in advance if you are seeing an abundance of plaid on the blog this season, but I just can’t help myself. And if you don’t have any plaid in your closet, then be sure to pick up a few pieces this season. Some of my favorite place to shop for plaid? JCrew, JCrew Factory, American Eagle, Madewell, and Ralph Lauren Denim and Supply.

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Jacket: Macy’s (old), similar, similar, love this | Plaid Shirt: Express (this shirt has a sequined yoke-so cute!), love this, this, this, this and this (all are on sale!!!) | Skinnies: American Eagle | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: Aldo (old), love these (on sale!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Casual Friday

Stripes, camo, and leopard…together? You bet! Nothing better than mixing a few favorite prints. And to sweeten the pot? Why not add a vest, your favorite denim, and some basic gold jewelry. And voila! You are ready to take on the weekend in comfortable, casual style!

Instagram Filter: Hudson

And ladies, if you are in the SLC, a new Uptown Cheapskate location just opened up in Sugarhouse! I had the privilege of attending their grand opening last week, and let me tell you, the store is darling and they have so many fantastic things in stock right now! So if you are out doing a little shopping this weekend, be sure to stop by and check them out! OR if you need a little extra cash, they will buy your gently used, name brand clothing from you. Now how sweet is that?

Happy weekend friends!

Long Sleeved Dresses

On October 21, 2014October 20, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t know what it is, but I am obsessed with long sleeve dresses this Fall. Now don’t get me wrong, I love wearing all of my sleeveless dresses with cute jackets and cardis, but when the weather is still fairly mild, I love the idea of changing things up a bit and leaving the jacket at home. And while I was obviously drawn to this dress because of the sleeves, I also love it’s unique leopard print. It feels refreshing to me to add a piece to my closet that isn’t a basic leopard, but rather a fun play on my favorite type of print!
