Shifty

On June 3, 2014June 2, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

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!

Short Story

I used to think the combo of shorts and heels together was kind of silly. But I have to admit, I am a total convert and wearing heels and shorts together is a summer staple for me. When the weather heats up, I am all about fashion short cuts, and adding heels to any outfit (specifically shorts), is a perfect and easy way to glam up a super casual look…

Tee: American Eagle (sold out), similar, short sleeve version

Shorts: JCrew (last summer) similar, obsessed with this seersucker version, and LOVE these (on sale!)

Spring Must-Haves (for your feet!)

On May 14, 2014May 13, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite ProductsLeave a comment

Before I became an Executive with Macy’s, I was a Senior Footwear Buyer at both Sundance Catalog and Overstock.com. So it should come as no surprise that I really (I mean really) LOVE shoes! And so today, because footwear is off the chain this spring, I wanted to share my favorite (and affordable!) picks of the season with all of you…

Happy hump day, dolls! And happy shoe shopping!

Light and Airy

I love a good structured peplum top. I am also particularly being drawn towards all things white this season. So this top has (obviously) been on frequent rotation in my closet as of late. I am also finding myself gravitating towards anything nude as far as footwear is concerned. And how could I forget light wash denim for both jackets and jeans? I guess it’s safe to say this warmer weather has me wanting to lighten things up a bit…

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Jacket: INC (old), similar, similar

Top: Torn by Ronny Kobo (old), similar, similar, LOVE this and this (both strapless!) for summer

Skinnies: American Eagle

Watch: Michael Kors

Sunnies: Karen Walker Super Duper

Bag: Coach Bleecker Riley Carryall

Wedges: Sole Society (LOVE these shoes AND they’re on sale for under $50!)

Hope you all had a safe and fun Cinco De Mayo!

Jean Jacket

Whether you call it a denim jacket or a jean jacket, if you don’t own one, then you should! Denim jackets are a key item for Spring, and a great investment piece that will last you for seasons to come. And while they are a great layering piece while we wait for the temps to warm up, they are also really cute. In fact, my favorite way of styling them as of late is back to flirty dresses and skirts-allowing me to get into my summer wardrobe a little earlier than usual. And if you are really feeling the denim jacket this season (like I am), then I would be sure to venture out and purchase one in both a dark wash (see yesterday’s post), and also in a light wash…

Denim Jacket: INC (no longer available), similar, similar, similar

Dress: LC by Lauren Conrad (last season), similar, similar

Watch: Michael Kors

Clutch: Michael Kors (last season), new version

Also, I should note that this was the outfit I ended up wearing on Easter. It was such a beautiful day and this was the perfect outfit for church, running errands, and hosting friends for Easter dinner.

Hope you are all having a fantastic week!

Tulle Cool For School

Ahhh tulle, how I love you so. So fun, so whimsical, and the perfect fabrication to make any girl feel like a princess. And let me tell you ladies, tulle isn’t just for ballerinas anymore. So if you are looking for something different (and super fun!) to add to your wardrobe this spring, then a tulle skirt is the ticket. You can wear them back to anything from a t-shirt, to a blouse, to a button down, to a jean-jacket. Rest assured, you will be pleasantly surprised at the plethora of things you will able to style your tulle skirt with. But perhaps more importantly, how fabulous it will make you feel…

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. From a great visit with family, to an Easter egg hunt with our littles, to an inspiring church service, capped off by a delicious meal with amazing friends-we really couldn’t have asked for a more blessed or better celebration.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mustard

On March 3, 2014March 2, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

In my book, navy and mustard is a pretty tried and true color combination-no matter the season, no matter the trend. And I am loving the playful look of pairing a more formal top and jacket with ripped up, light wash jeans, and nude pumps. It’s unexpected, yet somehow still classic…

My family was reminded this weekend of just how precious life is. Everything can change in an instant, so be sure to tell the ones you love that you love them, and cherish every moment you have with your family and friends.

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

Track Pants

It took me a little while to hop on the whole track pant band wagon, but am I sure glad that I finally did! Not only are they as comfy as sweatpants, but they look fantastic back to heels. And who doesn’t love to look to put together while being comfortable at the same time??

Happy, happy Friday to you! I am flying to Chicago for a baby shower this weekend. And while I’m a little nervous about how cold it’s going to be, I couldn’t be any more excited to see some of my dearest friends from college. Be sure to follow along on Instagram to check out my adventure and the Windy City, and of course what I’ll be wearing!!

Tried and Tulle

On January 15, 2014January 14, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

To say I can’t get enough this Lookbook Store jacket would be an understatement. I adore it. I also adore this American Eagle dress-even though it’s a couple of years old. And with the tulle trend still in frenzy mode, I am certainly glad that I have held onto it. It’s definitely on frequent repeat in my closet and even on the blog! You can see another favorite way I’ve styled it here…

Instagram Filter: Rise

Jacket: Lookbook Store, denim version (obsessing over this!!) | Dress: American Eagle (old), similar, similar | Necklaces: JCrew, INC (old), this season’s version | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: BCBGeneration (sold out), similar, similar

Lips: Chanel Glossimer in BonBon

So I have to say, I absolutely LOVE these shoes, and I am super bummed about the dye transfer on them around my ankles (yikes!!). So I have to ask, does anyone out there have any good products or remedies to remove denim markings from suede? Please share if you do! Otherwise, these shoes are going to have to be worn with pants only from here on out!

Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments and support. I appreciate you guys so much!

Blush

I am all about the sudden resurgence of pink this season. It is such an unexpected shade for Fall, which is perhaps why I am especially loving it. Well that, and the fact that pink is one of my very favorite colors (if you didn’t already know)…
