People Style Watch Magazine Feature

On July 24, 2014July 23, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, or if you’ve picked up the most recent issue of People Style Watch Magazine, then you know that I was featured in their August edition of the “You Got It Right” section! (insert excited squeal here!) And I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled, flattered, and honored I am that they would select one of my outfits to share in their magazine. It is seriously a dream come true. And to be honest, I’m having a hard time even wrapping my head around it!

So today, I thought I would share a bit of the back story with you. People had actually reached out to me in April letting me know they wanted to use my photo. And so in turn, I filled out some model release forms, did an interview, and after several emails back and forth, was told I would most likely be in the August issue of the magazine (barring any last-minute editing changes), but that they would confirm with me when they went to press. After that, I never heard back from them. I even sent a follow-up email that received no response, and so I figured I must have been left on the cutting room floor. But when I arrived at the SLC airport following a work trip on the day the issue hit stands, my phone lit up like a Christmas tree, buzzing with Facebook and text messages from friends near and far telling me the news. As you can imagine-it was a pretty thrilling moment. So I rushed to the nearest newsstand, found a copy, opened it up, and THERE. I. WAS! Little old me in a magazine! Insane I tell you, and a pretty sweet moment that I won’t soon forget!

I’ve also had quite a few questions on product details. The outfit I’m wearing in the magazine is actually from a post I did back in March, but I have listed all of the details and links below. You can also feel free to click here if you want to see the original post.

Plaid Button Down: JCrew (old), similar, similar | Vest: Tommy Hilfiger via Macy’s (sold out), similar (on sale!), LOVE this for fall | Skinnies: Gap | Necklace: Stella & Dot Bianca (sold out), similar, similar | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies (under$10!) | Clutch: Hobo International Lauren | Pumps: Michael Kors, almost identical, similar, LOVE these

Happy Thursday, friends!

Denim on Denim

I’m always a little hesitant to wear two denim pieces together. It probably stems from growing up in Montana and not wanting to be caught in the dreaded “Canadian Tuxedo” (or as I am sure they call it, the “Montana Tuxedo”). But I have found that if your two denims differ enough, then wearing denim on denim is perfectly acceptable, and even quite stylish given the current trend! So take it from me and don’t be afraid to rock your denim pieces together-just make sure you have some contrast!

YOU GUYS! I am back! My apologies for the radio silence on the blog last week! I was traveling for work and on vacation and between our crazy adventures and some unexpected technical issues with my memory card (I lost all of the outfit posts I had planned!), I just couldn’t get any content up. But boy did I miss you all and couldn’t be happier to be back and sharing today’s post!

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you can follow me here), then you know I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot with the incredibly talented LC Photography a couple of weeks ago. I had such an amazing time working with them and was so happy to finally have the perfect opportunity to shoot my beloved neon tulle skirt from The Girl That Loves. Tulle is all the rage right now and The Girl That Loves has an assortment of incredible colors and styles that are also extremely comfortable. So if you are looking to indulge your girly, flirty side, then be sure to check them out! And if you are in Utah, the be sure to check out LC Photography-they are the best!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL 4th of July weekend! We spent our holiday in the cute little town of Red Lodge, Montana and had such a fantastic time. My only wish is that it could have lasted just a little bit longer. But isn’t that how it usually goes???

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by, and happy Monday!

Think Pink

Quick (late!) post coming to you guys today. This was actually a recent outfit that I wore to work and I just had to share because I am loving bubble gum pink so much this summer. It is a fantastic, versatile color and of course pairs perfectly back to black skinnies and nude pumps with a pop of leopard!

Thank you guys so much for stopping by! I am so excited to be heading to Bozeman, Montana (I used to live there!) this afternoon to celebrate the wedding of two very dear friends this weekend. And then we are off to spend the 4th of July in Red Lodge. It is going to be a crazy long road trip, but I seriously can’t wait!

Happy Thursday!

I LOVE a good shift dress. Not only are they the ultimate in comfort, but they are a perfect piece to wear to work during the summer months. Easy, breezy, and professional. They are also a great transitional piece to take from day to night, or casual to dressy. If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you can follow me here) then you know I wore this dress paired with a denim vest to a friend’s baby shower over the weekend, which gave it a slightly more casual vibe than today’s post. Once again, another versatile piece that is great to add to any gal’s wardrobe!

Working Girl

Happy Friday, sweet friends! I hope you have all had a great week. I was on the road for work, so despite my best intentions to get some blog posts up and running, my nights were spent getting caught up and prepped for meetings. But today, I’m back! And I am excited to share with you a typical outfit that I would wear to work. Because I am on the road so much for my job (you can read about what I do here), on planes, in cars, and in and out of Executive meetings, I am always looking for work appropriate (and fashionable) outfits that are also super comfy and practical. The Express Portofino shirt has become a staple in my closet (it comes in TONS of cute colors and prints), and I love pairing it back to simple black skinnies, basic jewelry, and a fun pump or heel for a little pop of color. I have found this to be a great basic formula for an easy wear-to-work outfit that works for just about any occaision. Not to mention that this combo also looks fantastic with a blazer for a little more dressed up look!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

Proud To Be An American

On May 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I had good intentions of getting this post up in time for Memorial Day, but ended up being too busy having fun with my family (who was in town for the weekend) to sit down and do any blogging. So my apologies for the absence of outfit posts the past few days! But since I’m really digging the patriotic feel of what I wore for our Memorial Day BBQ, I still wanted to share it with all of you!

I love the combination of red, white, and blue-or in this case, neon coral, white, and blue. And of course what could be more American than adding a little pop of denim to an ensemble? So even though Memorial Day weekend has (sadly) come and gone, I love this outfit for a multitude of different summer occasions-including the 4th of July, or really any summer BBQ for that matter….

I hope that you all a wonderful, long, relaxing, and fun holiday weekend!

Now, here’s to a four day work week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Put A Bow On It

On May 22, 2014May 22, 2014 By all dolled upIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

When I think about my own personal style, girly and sweet are definitely not the first words that come to mind. And while I think hearts and bows and frills are all adorable, I don’t normally gravitate towards those types of ensembles. BUT, every once in a while, I do think it’s fun to put on a girly dress and pay homage to a more feminine style. And as an added bonus, while most of us are still experiencing in between temps, I absolutely love the option of wearing a button down shirt underneath a dress to change things up from my typical go-to cardi or jean jacket…

Dress: H&M (sold out), exact same dress (for under $20!) | Button Down: Gap (sold out), similar, LOVE this one (both on sale for 50% off at Jcrew Factory!) | Bracelet: Kate Spade (on major sale right now, click here to enter their secret sale-and save up to 75% on some pretty amazing stuff-including my pink bracelet!!) | Ring: Stella & Dot (sold out), similar | Watch: Michael Kors (old), almost identical | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: Joe’s Jeans via DSW, LOVING the new sandal version for summer!

Happy Thursday, sweet friends! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Back To Basics

On April 29, 2014April 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Sometimes when I am shooting outfits for the blog, I feel like I need to layer on extravagant jewelry and accessories, and create outfits with lots of details and interest. I mean obviously, those types of things photograph better, and I, of course love the challenge of coming up with unique combinations of patterns and accessories to share with you guys (not to mention that it keeps you all interested)! But on a daily basis, my style is really pretty simple. And so today, I thought I’d take you back to the basics and share with you an outfit you would most likely catch me in during the work week: a go-to pair of black skinnies, a comfy button down, minimal jewelry, and a great pair of pumps. Ok, ok, so maybe the pumps aren’t so basic. But what can I say? Shoes are my weakness!

Button Down: Gap (on major sale!) also love this one, and this one

Skinnies: American Eagle

Necklaces: Monogram (gift) LOVE this one, Tiffany and Co.

THANK YOU so much for stopping by!

P.S. Can you believe the snow on the mountains behind me? We had been having such gorgeous weather and then over the weekend, it turned on a dime. Gotta love spring in the Rockies!
