The Holiday Season

On December 11, 2014December 10, 2014 By all dolled upIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I love this time of year. And one of my favorite parts? The holiday parties! And fortunately, this season, J and I have plenty to attend-the first of which is this weekend! So when I saw this skirt in the Nordstrom Savvy department a couple of weeks ago, I knew it was the perfect holiday party piece to add to my closet! And I’m especially loving it back to a plaid shirt with a pop of red-helps to make it slightly less dressy and perfect for any type of holiday occaision!

And today, I wanted to start with a super comfy, casual look (similar to what I will be wearing for our Thanksgiving feast!).

Booties

On October 28, 2014October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Today, I want to talk about booties. They are everywhere this season and I am absolutely in love with the trend. BUT I’ll be honest, I find booties very difficult to wear. I workout and bike and ski a lot, so I don’t have super skinny legs. I’m also short (not quite 5’4″), so I find that most booties can tend to make me look thick in the legs and even shorter than I already am! And that is definitely not look I’m going for! Ha! I’ve tried on countless pairs and always love them on the rack and on other people, but seldom like them on myself. However, I have finally found the trick to the perfect bootie for all you gals out there who are struggling with this trend like me. And the secret, my friends? Booties that dip down in the front, or that are a little closer to a pump than a bootie (like the pair in today’s post-a shootie, if you will). Seriously, I can’t tell you what a difference a little dip in the front will make for you and the length it will give you back in your legs. So if you have been feeling anything like me when it comes to booties-don’t give up! I’ve linked up some of my favorite, and (more importantly) flattering booties below!

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Sweater: Old Navy | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind, similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), obsessed with this and this| Bracelets: Stella & Dot, Forever21 (old), similar | Hat: Jessica Simpson via Nordstrom Rack (LOVE the Candied Ginger color) | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Booties: Jessica Simpson via TJMaxx (I can’t find these anywhere online-sorry!)

And last but not least, here are my recommendations for flattering booties: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, my faves, splurge

Plaid To The Bone

On October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Every fall (it never fails), I become plaid obsessed. Something about cool weather, football, chili, tailgating, scarves, and boots makes want to break out all of my favorite plaid shirts. So my apologies in advance if you are seeing an abundance of plaid on the blog this season, but I just can’t help myself. And if you don’t have any plaid in your closet, then be sure to pick up a few pieces this season. Some of my favorite place to shop for plaid? JCrew, JCrew Factory, American Eagle, Madewell, and Ralph Lauren Denim and Supply.

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Jacket: Macy’s (old), similar, similar, love this | Plaid Shirt: Express (this shirt has a sequined yoke-so cute!), love this, this, this, this and this (all are on sale!!!) | Skinnies: American Eagle | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: Aldo (old), love these (on sale!)

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

Long Sleeved Dresses

On October 21, 2014October 20, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t know what it is, but I am obsessed with long sleeve dresses this Fall. Now don’t get me wrong, I love wearing all of my sleeveless dresses with cute jackets and cardis, but when the weather is still fairly mild, I love the idea of changing things up a bit and leaving the jacket at home. And while I was obviously drawn to this dress because of the sleeves, I also love it’s unique leopard print. It feels refreshing to me to add a piece to my closet that isn’t a basic leopard, but rather a fun play on my favorite type of print!

What do you guys think of long sleeved dresses? I’d love to hear!

Layers

On October 6, 2014October 5, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

One of my favorite things about dressing for Fall is layering. I love putting multiple pieces together to achieve different looks and maximize the pieces in my wardrobe. And because I am such a fan of the layered look, I am definitely finding myself gravitating towards this season’s mixed media pieces that give you the layered look without having to actually layer. Not only do they help simplify getting dressed in the morning, but they are a great option to get the layered look without all the bulk!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

I am guessing if you follow this blog regularly, then it should come as no surprise that a t-shirt, ripped skinnies, and a great pair of pumps is my go-too outfit. It’s such an easy combo and works perfectly for so many different types of events and outings. And while I am fond of this outfit all year round, I especially love it in the Fall season when I can incorporate another one of my very favorite items-a classic moto jacket!

Cheers to the weekend, sweet friends!

Montana Roots

I love a great camo print. And I can’t help but wonder if it stems from my Montana roots. But regardless of where my fondness for the print comes from, I am definitely happy that camo is still an important print this Fall season!

Salt Lake Magazine Feature

On September 19, 2014September 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was beyond thrilled when the sweet Fashion Editor from Salt Lake Magazine contacted me and asked if I would sit down with her for an interview about my blog and career in the fashion industry for their September/October issue. And as you can imagine, of course I said yes! What an honor to be able to talk about All Dolled Up and work with some of the amazing (and talented!) people behind the glossy publication!

And so today, I wanted to share with you the looks I styled for the photo shoot. I had so much fun coming up with Fall inspired outfits for this project (even though it was a sweltering 100 degrees the day we shot!), and it was the perfect excuse to finally buy the tulle skirt from Space 46 Boutique that I had been eyeing for months. And let me tell you, every girl should own a tulle skirt!

Outfit #2: Sweater: Express (old), similar, LOVE this | Tulle Skirt: Space 46 Boutique (so in love with EVERY tulle skirt on this site!) | Necklaces: Stella & Dot, Dillards (old), identical | Clutch: Michael Kors(old), similar | Heels: Ivanka Trump (last season), LOVING these
