Mad For Plaid

I am obsessed with plaid. It’s all I want to wear, all day everyday. From button downs, to skirts, to pants, to jackets, plaid is at the forefront of my very favorite fall fashion trends. And one way to wear it that I am especially loving? Back to leather and lace. Duh!

Grounded

You might have guessed pink, but yellow is actually my very favorite color. And one of my favorite ways to wear it as of late is in a neon hue back to black with a pop of leopard. And while I believe it’s perfectly acceptable to wear neon and bright colors all year round (and do!) during the colder months, it is good to ground them with darker colors making your brights feel more appropriate for the season…

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I’ve got to tell you, I am so happy it’s Wednesday and we are at the halfway point. Now if the weekend would just hurry up and get here already!

Blazer of Glory

One thing I feel like I often neglect to write about on this blog is the importance of owning a fantastic black blazer. I think because I wear them for work nearly every day, I forget that it’s a piece not everyone might own. But with the weather changing, I am finding that I am reaching for my blazers not only for work, but also to wear as a light jacket back to my favorite destroyed skinnies and a tried-and-true graphic tee. They really are the perfect piece for so many different occasions and something everyone should have in their closet…

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I can hardly believe it’s Monday already again. Sometimes I swear it feels like it’s always Monday, don’t you think?

No Place Like Home

There is just something special about a pair of red shoes. Maybe it’s the Dorothy Gale in me, but I’ve been drawn to them since I was a little girl and have always longed for my very own pair of ruby red slippers. And while I doubt these will take me anywhere with the click of my heels, at least they are pretty (and amazingly comfortable too)…

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!!

I love this tee. It’s just one of those pieces that brings a smile to my face. And while I normally gravitate towards pairing graphic tee’s with denim, I also love the contrast of a casual tee back to something dressier, like a pencil skirt and layered baubles. A whimsical, yet polished look perfect for date night, or a girl’s night out on the town…

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Ours was spent in Park City with family and filled with lots of biking, eating, and laughing. And I’ve got to say, it was pretty darn wonderful.

And even thought it’s never easy to get back into the swing of things, I hope you are all having a great start to your week. Thanks for stopping by!

At the end of summer, I am never ready to put away any of my pretty dresses. So I always love to look for ways to prolong their use into the early fall season. And I have to say, that an army surplus vest, back to cognac accessories, seems to do just the trick…

I hope your week is off to a great start. I know I have another crazy busy one on the books. But on the bright side, at least there is a nice, long three-day weekend ahead of us to look forward to!

Rawr!

Whether it be home decor, clothing, or accessories, I love anything animal print. In fact, my favorite leopard pants are always a favorite on rotation in my closet. And with cooler temps just around the corner, anything leopard feels pretty darn fitting. Don’t you think?

I am traveling on a big regional visit this week and have lots of presenting to do over the next couple of days, so feel free to send good thoughts my way. I am going to need them!

Happy hump day!

FPF: Gold Cuff

On July 26, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

So I guess it’s been a little while since I shared a favorite item with you all on a Friday. And today I wanted to talk about my summer obsession with gold cuffs!! I just can’t seem to get enough of them (if you hadn’t figured that out already!). They are a great statement and the perfect way to add a little interest to any outfit-whether it be dressed up or dressed down. Plus they are an easy alternate to an elaborate arm party-especially on a hot day when the last thing you feel like doing is piling on the jewelry…

Both of my cuffs featured in the above photos are older styles from H&M, but I am currently crushing on this style, this style, and this style.

J and I are heading on our annual summer vacation to Montana in just a few hours, and I absolutely cannot wait for a week of fun in the sun with family and friends in the beautiful Flathead Valley! I will however, still be posting next week, so be sure to stop by the blog!

Happy weekend!

Simple.

In an effort not to overload you all on color this week, I thought today I would post a more neutral outfit. Because after all, sometimes it’s true what they say, simple is best. And while I don’t always necessarily gravitate towards these types of vintagey tops, the fabric and drape of this one was just to pretty to pass by. You can also see how I styled it another way here…
