A Few of My Favorite Things

On November 27, 2013November 27, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love finding fashion inspiration on Pinterest and Instagram. And that is precisely where I stumbled upon the jacket and peplum top that I’m wearing in this post. Both were at the top of my shopping list this fall, and while I didn’t anticipate wearing them together, I am loving the structure and lines of the jacket back to the flirty and almost futuristic ruffle of the peplum. And while my hubs is a big fan of the jacket, peplum remains one of those styles that he just can’t wrap his head around. I guess we can add it to that list of fashions (along with fur vests and maxi dresses) that men just don’t understand…

I LOVE the day before Thanksgiving. In fact, I love the day before just about any holiday. What can I say? I am an anticipation kind of girl.

And while there is so much I am thankful for, this year I am especially grateful for each and every one of you-my readers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by, your engagement, your words of encouragement, for the friendships we are creating, and for all of the support! All Dolled Up would not be possible without you!

Wishing you and your families a wonderful, safe, and joyous Thanksgiving.

Holiday Dressing

I LOVE polka dots. And I especially love polka dots paired with plaid. So lucky me that both happen to be very on trend this holiday season! And not only are they both on trend, but in my opinion, they are the perfect combo to put together for all of those upcoming holiday parties quickly filling up the calendar!

Casual Friday

On November 15, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am all about dressing casual and feeling comfortable. So this Friday, I wanted to share a casual go-to look that is on frequent repeat in my closet right now, comprised of a few of my favorite things: a button down, leather jacket, favorite jeans, and a fun pair of pumps. Kind of tough to beat, don’t you think?

Gone Fishin’

The thought didn’t cross my mind when I purchased this vest a couple of months ago, but when I was editing these photos, it dawned on me that it looks an awfully lot like a fishing vest. Which in all honesty, makes me like it even that much more-I am a Montana girl after all! And while I am obviously loving the look of vests this season, one thing I am loving even more is the combination of a bold pink back to a neutral army green and leopard. It’s the perfect combination of casual yet refined…

I am so excited to be teaming up with one of my very favorite Etsy shops today, Basil The Cat! I first discovered this great shop when I was on the hunt for a bubble necklace a couple of years ago. And I discovered that Rachel not only made them by hand with a beautiful vintage feel (see this post-her’s is the turquoise version), but she also created all sorts of gorgeous one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. Swoon worthy, really. And let me tell you, I have a been a huge fan of hers ever since. So when she contacted me recently to not only give away one of the gorgeous Elephant lockets that I am wearing below, but also offer a 20% discount to All Dolled Up readers for the ENTIRE month of November, how could I say no? And so today my friends, is your lucky day! See below for entry details!

Dream Coat

On November 4, 2013November 3, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

We had our first snow here in the SLC this weekend. It was a beautiful day on Saturday at almost 70 degrees, but the wind was whipping through the valley all day which usually signals an impending storm front. So without even having to check the weather, I knew come Sunday morning, the chance of waking up to snow was pretty good. And while I must say I have mixed feelings about it, one thing I was most definitely excited about was getting out my winter coats. And speaking of coats, if there is one trend that every gal should jump on this season, it’s adding a colorful jacket or coat to your winter wardrobe.

Happy Halloween!

In honor of Halloween, today’s outfit post is brought to you by the colors orange and black. And while it might seem like a taboo combo, or at the very least a little tough to wrangle, I promise you can wear black and orange together without looking like you are dressing up for Halloween-or in support of your favorite team. The best bet? Stay away from a true orange. Instead, opt for shades of mandarin (like my outfit below), corals, or neon. All look fantastic with black and can be worn together anytime of the year…

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful Halloween.

Another Little Piece of My Heart

On October 24, 2013October 23, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

When I was singing in Nashville, one of my favorite songs to perform was Janis Joplin’s version of, you guessed it, Another Little Piece of my heart. It is one of my all-time favorite songs and she, one of my all-time favorite artists. And I’d like to think that perhaps it’s my love for classic music that drew me to this sweater, and not just a weakness for happy sweaters…

Happy, happy Thursday to you all! I don’t know about you, but this has felt like an especially long to me. Thank goodness the end is in sight!

On Repeat

On October 23, 2013October 22, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

If you were to run into me on a typical Saturday in the Fall, I would most likely be wearing something similar to today’s outfit. In my book, it’s tough to beat a staple chambray shirt (plaid is also often on repeat), my favorite skinnies, a vest for layering, and a pair of boots comfy enough for running errands or cheering my hubby on at a Cyclocross race. This is definitely my go-to fall look, and if I am being honest, it has been for the last couple of years. Not super exciting, I know. But sometimes practicality wins out over fashion…
