Fall Trends with JCPenney

On September 9, 2016September 9, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am so excited to be teaming up with JCPenney and People StyleWatch today to share with you two of my favorite Fall trends. Up first? Bomber jackets. And while they’ve been on trend for the past couple of seasons, this year it’s worth venturing beyond army green, and picking up an embellished version complete with cute and sporty patches. And my second favorite? Fringe. But especially fringed bags.

So if you are looking to test drive some of the hottest trends this Fall (without breaking the bank), then I would definitely check out your local JCPenney. I scored both my bomber jacket and my fringe bag for just under $50-TOTAL!

Bomber Jacket: JCPenney c/o | Fringe Bag: JCPenney c/o (also comes in fuchsia and aqua-I want all the colors!)

Wishing you all a wonderful week. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Transitioning

On August 11, 2016August 11, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I’m having a hard time believing that it’s already August. And I can’t help but find myself starting to think about Fall, and purchasing transitional and Fall specific pieces.

So in today’s post, I wanted to share with you this super cute dress and how I’m wearing it now, and how I’m going to wear it when the temperatures start dropping. Like I’ve said a lot on this blog, I love re-styling items and investing in pieces that will get a lot of use in my wardrobe.

Happy Thursday, sweet friends!

P.S. How cute is my sweet Chloe girl? She normally hates having her picture taken, but insisted on making a cameo in this post! 🙂

Romper

On August 5, 2016August 5, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love a good romper. And this one just might be my favorite. Ever. I am always a fan of anything navy, which was originally why I was drawn to it, but the tie waist makes it particularly flattering. Plus the length isn’t too short-which is always something I seem to struggle with when it comes to rompers. So if you’re looking for an easy, flattering romper (for a great price!), then this is the one, ladies!

Don’t forget, there are just a couple of days left to shop the #NSale! You can shop my favorites here (most items have been restocked!). And be sure to check back tomorrow for one last round-up of some of my favorite beauty and active items from the sale!

Happy Friday, sweet friends!

Stripes

On July 8, 2016July 8, 2016 By all dolled upIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have a hard time saying no to anything striped. Particularly striped dresses this time of year. So when I spotted this cute little number at Nordstrom, I knew it would not only be the perfect thing to wear on the 4th, but that it would also be a comfy basic to keep on rotation in my closet this summer. And at only $38, who could resist?

Happy Friday! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Fringe

First of all, I LOVE the splatter print of this dress. There is just something so nostalgic about it to me. I think it’s because it reminds me of a denim jacket I had when I was a kid with neon splatter paint all over it!

And second, can we talk about how amazing this necklace is? One of my best friends gifted it to me and I am OBSESSED! Plus, it’s less than $20. Talk about the perfect statement piece to add to your wardrobe this summer!

Dress: Cotton On (comes in tons of colors, and some are on sale for only $10!) | Necklace: World Market | Hat: JCrew | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunnies: Ditto (rent them for free for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout) | Wedges: Guess (old), LOVE these

Lipstick: Butter London

Happy Thursday, sweet friends! Hope you are able to start your holiday weekend early today!

Creature Comforts

On February 9, 2016February 9, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was just telling a girlfriend of mine last night that when I started blogging, it made me realize what a creature of habit I am. I tend to gravitate towards the same types of items and the same kinds of outfits. So being a blogger has been a great way to force myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. And today’s look is a great example of that. A couple of years ago, I never would have tried an outfit like this. And while it still wouldn’t be my go-to (like yesterday’s outfit!), I love pushing myself to try new trends and new looks. Afterall, that’s what makes fashion fun and exciting, right?

Hope y’all are having a great week!

xoxo,

Abby

Fringe Benefits

On November 14, 2012November 14, 2012 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas11 Comments

One of my favorite positions that I’ve ever held was when I managed the buying and product development for the Footwear and Accessories department at Sundance Catalog. It was my first big job in the fashion industry and I have been hooked ever since. And not only did it reassure me that I was meant to have a career in the retail world, but it also instilled in me a deep love for handbags (which I’m sure my hubby is especially grateful for). 😉

That said, I designed the below bag with my agent partner in Italy a couple of years ago. And of course since the Italians are much more fashion forward than we are, we were a little too far ahead of the fringe curve. So while it was always one of my favorite designs, it wasn’t featured in the catalog until after I’d departed. But with fringe popping up all over the place this season, I was happy I held onto my original sample. So while I’m still on the fence about fringed boots (and sweaters, for that matter), I can definitely rock a fringed bag.

Instagram Filter: Nashville

Faux Leather Jacket: BarIII for Macy’s, similar, similar, similar

Grey V-Neck: Victoria’s Secret Pink (best t’s ever)

Jeans: Gap

Pink Necklace: TJMaxx (old), similar

Sterling Monogram Necklace: Birthday Gift

Watch: Michael Kors

Sunnies: Target

Fringed Bag: my design for Sundance, similar, similar

Pointed Toe Pumps: Nine West

Another thing I should note in this post is the importance of owning a great biker jacket. They are a perfect fall staple and a simple way to dress up a t-shirt, a great piece to throw on when running out the door, and an easy way to sass up an otherwise sweet outfit. Leather or vegan, depending on your personal preference and price range, there is sure to be a style just right for everyone this fall. And with the progression of man-made materials, the faux options available this season are better than ever with many that could pretty much pass for the real thing. Fantastic style without breaking the bank? Count me in!

Happy Hump Day!
