Think Pink

On June 26, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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!

Crop It Like It’s Hot

On June 16, 2014June 15, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I loved the crop shirt trend the last go around and fondly remember wearing cute crops with overalls and Birks. Heck, I was even wearing crop tops with low-rise jeans performing at the bars in Nashville back in the day! I was also in my late teens/early twenties at the time-so bearing a little midriff seemed perfectly acceptable. But now that the crop top trend is back, and finding me in my early 30’s, I’ve been a little unsure as to how to tackle this trend. Because at my age, I’m certainly not going to be running around with my navel hanging out! And while I’ve done some cute layering looks with crops, that doesn’t exactly work during the warmer summer months. So for those of you finding yourselves in the same predicament as me, I have found that a super cute and age appropriate way to wear a crop top, is with a high-wasited skirt. It still gives you the look and feel of the crop, but without baring all of the skin! And trust me, your belly button will thank you!

Romper Time

On June 9, 2014June 8, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love rompers. Like, seriously love them. They are so fun, flirty, and such a nice change up from dresses and shorts in the summer. And not only that, but I love the variety that this sweet, ditsy print adds to my wardrobe. You know what they say, variety is the spice of life, right? And in my opinion, it’s also the key to a well-rounded wardrobe! Plus there is just something about rompers that makes me feel like I should be heading to an amazing music festival, or some super cool boho-chic event.

Dressy

On June 2, 2014June 1, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have made a pledge this year to wear more dresses. I’m not quite sure why, but I naturally tend to gravitate towards jeans, heels, and cute tops. But it gets so hot in the SLC during the summer months, that dresses are really a must. PLUS they are so cute and comfy and fun and I am really loving all of the vibrant prints and colors that I am seeing available in stores this season. Case and point? The dress in today’s post. Not only does the tribal print of this dress lend itself well back to denim, but because it showcases so many different colors, it will be an easy piece to style multiple ways this summer. And in my book, versatile pieces like this are the key to expanding your wardrobe without spending a lot of money!

Jacket: JCrew (on sale for under $50! also, it runs big, so order a size down) | Dress: Francesca’s (sold out online, check in store!), loving this one (very similar), this one, this one, this one, and this one | Necklaces: Jeweliq, Etsy | Cuff: Lucky Brand | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Heels: Nine West (SUPER comfy and on sale!)

I hope you all had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

P.S. If you live in the SLC and love coffee, be sure to stop by the new Publik Coffee. We stopped in to check it out over Memorial Day weekend and fell in love! It’s one of the cooler places I’ve been in the SLC. In fact, it’s actually where we shot these photos. And not only is their coffee and ambiance amazing, but they have an entire menu dedicated solely to different kinds of toast. Brilliant!

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!

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…

L’eggs Sweepstakes!

On April 28, 2014April 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Do you guys remember L’eggs when they were sold in the iconic egg packaging? I know I sure do. And because I always thought of them as an ’80’s staple, I was surprised (and excited!) when they contacted me and asked me to be a part of their 40th birthday celebration and re-launch of their limited edition egg packaging. Now to be totally honest, I have always been on the fence when it comes to pantyhose and tights, and always have been. But with the popularity of tights and pantyhose over the last year, I figured why not give them a try. And I have to say-I am SO happy that I did. Not only are L’eggs totally affordable (and easy to find-check your local drug store!), but they are super comfy with just the right amount of control around the tummy and thighs. And with all of these in-between temperatures as we transition into warmer weather, they are the perfect accessory if you are anxious to start wearing all of your spring/summer dresses and skirts (like I am!).

In today’s post, I am wearing the sun-tan shade which gave my winter white legs just the right hint of color and smoothed out all of the unevenness caused by those long winter months of nothing but pants. In fact, when we shot these photos, my hubby didn’t even realize that I was wearing pantyhose. BUT he did tell me that my legs looked great! So be sure to check out L’eggs at your local drug store and go here for your chance to win $1,000 cash and a fabulous trip to Las Vegas! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

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…

Well no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t quite make it a week without these pumps making an appearance on the blog. I just love the fun pop of color they bring to any outfit. So if you don’t have a fun, candy colored pump in your wardrobe, then its high time to add a pair! I promise, you will get more wear out of them than you could even anticipate!

Sorry I’m Not Sorry

On April 11, 2014April 10, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I find it to be kind of amusing when people use the term “Sorry I’m not sorry”. And I have to say, that is exactly how I feel every time I slip on these neon heels. I mean, let’s be honest, I am pretty much obsessed with them. They are so super comfy, go with just about everything, and bring such a fun element to any outfit. And even though they are from last summer, I still can’t seem to get enough. So I am just going to have to put it out there-I’m sorry I’m not sorry that you are (once again this season) going to be seeing a lot of these pumps on the blog…
