Hi Ho Silver

On August 6, 2013August 5, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love to add color or a pop of color to the majority of my outfits. But sometimes, it’s tough to beat a classic black and white ensemble. And when I threw on this striped skirt back to a plain black top, I knew that silver accessories were the perfect way to complete this look…

I am heading to San Francisco for work this afternoon, which is a nice way to ease back into the groove of things after vacation. And though I have a feeling the weather might be a bit of a shock to my system, I can’t wait to try and squeeze in some of my favorite restaurants and maybe even a little shopping when all my meetings are done.

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a company called Sage & Harper asking me if I wanted to test out a bag from their line. And after reviewing their online shop, I was ecstatic. I have never seen such darling and well made messenger bags anywhere else and couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. And I have to say, since it arrived in the mail, it has become my go-to bag. I have used it for travel (houses my laptop perfectly), for trips to the lake or pool, for errands on my cruiser, and most recently, trips to and from the gym. It really is the perfect “anytime” bag and I just can’t get enough.

And because they are so fantastic, Sage & Harper is offering a special 20% off discount to all All Dolled up readers. How amazing is that?? Just use the code: DOLLEDUP20 at checkout!

Vacay

On July 29, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

J and I are officially on vacation-and boy does it feel good! And even though we’re only two days in, we’ve already gotten to do some pretty cool things. Including seeing my brother play at one of our favorite watering holes on Flathead Lake. And I must say, while living out of a suitcase for extended periods of time can tend to pose various challenges, I was happy that I thought to pack my favorite mullet skirt, graphic tee, and jean vest, which made for the perfect combination of comfy, yet effortlessly cool summer fashion to wear for the occasion…

She’s Gone Country

On July 22, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I grew up in Montana, but ran off to college in Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University and chase the bright lights and shiny stars of a country music career. And through hard work and determination, I was lucky enough to land a regular singing gig at a bar downtown on the most coveted nights of the week. Oh how I loved that chapter in my life. And while I obviously made the decision somewhere along the line to walk away from it all and pursue a more “regular” life, I will always cherish my years in the Music city and Nashville will always hold an incredibly special place in my heart.

So last summer when a friend told J and me that the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville partners with the Sundance Resort in Utah every year to showcase the best songwriter’s from Nashville at Robert Redford’s beloved (and breathtakingly beautiful) resort, I knew I was all in. And so this year, when it fell over our anniversary weekend, I knew it was the perfect way to kick off our celebration. And a perfect evening it was…

Maxi Dress: American Rag (on sale!) | Necklace: Macy’s (old), similar | Cuff: H&M (old), similar | Sunnies: Rayban | Flats: Rampage (on sale!)

And not only was it a perfect night of music in the mountains, it was also the perfect occasion to wear my favorite maxi dress. I am so in love with the vibrant colors and soft fabric of this maxi-I just can’t get enough. And while my hubby (along with most men) is not typically a fan of maxi dresses, he actually doesn’t mind this one. Lucky for him, because he’ll probably be seeing a lot of it this summer! 🙂

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Just wanted to take minute and wish you all a very happy and safe 4th of July! I know I am personally looking forward to parades, the rodeo, a little time spent on the water, and lots of yummy food-all in celebration of this incredible country that I am lucky to call my home. God bless America!

Hooray For Chambray!

On June 25, 2013June 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Oh how I love me some denim. Whether it’s a great pair of jeans, a denim jacket, a go-to pair of shorts, or a chambray shirt, I am a fan of it all. Maybe it’s my Montana roots, or maybe it’s just because denim is something everyone can wear. Either way, if you haven’t added a chambray shirt to your wardrobe yet this season, then it’s high time you took the plunge.

Now the key to wearing denim well is to select ONE piece of denim for your ensemble. Unless of course they are contrasting shades of denim, and then it’s ok to do some layering. But I definitely prefer to pair mine back to black, white, or bright colors.

Stormy Weather

On June 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

While I spend a lot of time on the road for my job, one of the perks of all of the travel is that every couple of months, I get to take a trip back to my home state of Montana. And depending on the time of year and our schedules, sometimes it works out (like it did this past weekend) that J can come and join me and we can sneak in a long weekend in one of our favorite places-which also happens to be where we first met. And while the weather was cold and stormy (which required a little more layering than I’m used to this time of year), we still managed to have a great time with friends, visited all of our favorites places (and discovered some new), and were even able to sneak in a few miles on the bikes in between showers…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know I for one can’t wait for our next trip to Bozeman. Such a fun little town packed with so many good memories.

FPF: Polka Dots

On June 21, 2013June 21, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Pretty sure I’ve blogged enough about polka dots to give them a deserving spot on my FPF list. Whether it’s a top, a pair of shoes, a bag, a skirt, a dress, or a pair of pants, polka dots are one of those trends that can truly work for everyone. I mean really, how many other patterns are out there with the ability to portray both a youthful and sophisticated feel?

Happy, happy Friday everyone! I am back visiting my old stomping grounds of Bozeman, MT for the weekend and am so looking forward to getting some miles on my bike, checking out some of my old favorite places, and of course, getting to see friends we haven’t seen in far too long.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Date Night

On June 4, 2013June 4, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love a good date night outfit. And while I normally use date night as an excuse to wear a cute dress or skirt, sometimes you just can’t beat a good pair of jeans and a sparkly top. Especially when you add some fun accessories…

Instagram Filter: Walden

And of course in addition to a great outfit, who doesn’t love a cute pair of shoes? And even better? A cute, comfy, and, affordable pair of shoes! And these wedges fit the bill. In fact, I have them in another color (which you can see here) and I’m pretty sure both pairs will be important staples in my wardrobe this summer. Plus, right now they are on sale for under $30. Get them before they’re gone!!

Knots Landing

On May 20, 2013May 20, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

I am so happy that maxi dresses are back on the docket for spring this year. And perhaps what makes me even happier, is the new trend of tying the bottom of your maxi in a knot. It is the perfect (and oh-so-simple) way to change-up an old favorite, making it feel fresh and new for the season!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours was filled with lots of projects and yard work, but it felt great to be extra productive and get things done around the house. And of course (despite the copious amount of manual labor), it went by way too fast, as weekends tend to do. Good thing there is a nice, long holiday weekend ahead of us!

Happy Monday!
