Put A Vest On It

On August 25, 2014August 24, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am never, ever ready for summer to end, but I am always ready for fall fashion! And even though the temps are still relatively warm, fall is definitely starting to creep into the air here in Utah and I can feel myself starting to gravitate towards darker colors, neutrals, denim, leopard, light jackets, and vests (of course)! All of which are super easy key items to start to transition those summer outfits into fall! So if you are ready to get your fall wardrobe going but aren’t quite sure how, try pairing a vest back to your favorite tank and denim…

I love a good deal. In fact, I take pride in my bargain hunting skills. So it should come as no surprise that I am a big fan of deal of the day websites. And one of my current favorites? jane.com! They have the perfect selection of jewelry, accessories, apparel, and home decor. And not only are their prices fantastic, but they add new items to the site everyday. This yellow lace top is one of my favorite finds to date and has been on frequent rotation in my closet this summer (especially paired back to light wash denim!)! So be sure to stop by jane.com and check them out-there is sure to be something for everyone!

I love a great chambray dress. It is the epitome of casual chic, and a perfect (and super easy) piece for summer that also transitions well into Fall! I especially love to style mine back to neutral accessories and gold jewelry and love the extra glam factor that a floppy hat and white bag can add. It feels to me like the prefect ensemble for a Sunday brunch or fun lunch date. Plus, you can score this dress from Old Navy for less than $30. Talk about a no-brainer!

Casual

On July 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

J and I are officially on vacation this week. Hooray! And because we are road tripping from Utah to Montana, and will be spending our time on the water, in Glacier National Park, biking, and hanging with family and friends, my attire for the week is going to be pretty casual. In fact, most days you will probably find me in something pretty similar to today’s outfit: a comfy worn-in tee, destroyed denim shorts, casual wedges, minimal makeup and jewelry, and less than styled hair. And so today, I thought I’d show you a glimpse of the “everyday” me and hopefully provide some inspiration for what to wear in your real, everyday summer casual life!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We took these photos last night after a fun float trip down the Blackfoot River at my in-laws house in Missoula, Montana. Don’t they have a GORGEOUS view?

Happy Monday!

People Style Watch Magazine Feature

On July 24, 2014July 23, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, or if you’ve picked up the most recent issue of People Style Watch Magazine, then you know that I was featured in their August edition of the “You Got It Right” section! (insert excited squeal here!) And I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled, flattered, and honored I am that they would select one of my outfits to share in their magazine. It is seriously a dream come true. And to be honest, I’m having a hard time even wrapping my head around it!

So today, I thought I would share a bit of the back story with you. People had actually reached out to me in April letting me know they wanted to use my photo. And so in turn, I filled out some model release forms, did an interview, and after several emails back and forth, was told I would most likely be in the August issue of the magazine (barring any last-minute editing changes), but that they would confirm with me when they went to press. After that, I never heard back from them. I even sent a follow-up email that received no response, and so I figured I must have been left on the cutting room floor. But when I arrived at the SLC airport following a work trip on the day the issue hit stands, my phone lit up like a Christmas tree, buzzing with Facebook and text messages from friends near and far telling me the news. As you can imagine-it was a pretty thrilling moment. So I rushed to the nearest newsstand, found a copy, opened it up, and THERE. I. WAS! Little old me in a magazine! Insane I tell you, and a pretty sweet moment that I won’t soon forget!

I’ve also had quite a few questions on product details. The outfit I’m wearing in the magazine is actually from a post I did back in March, but I have listed all of the details and links below. You can also feel free to click here if you want to see the original post.

Plaid Button Down: JCrew (old), similar, similar | Vest: Tommy Hilfiger via Macy’s (sold out), similar (on sale!), LOVE this for fall | Skinnies: Gap | Necklace: Stella & Dot Bianca (sold out), similar, similar | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies (under$10!) | Clutch: Hobo International Lauren | Pumps: Michael Kors, almost identical, similar, LOVE these

Happy Thursday, friends!

xx,

Rawr!

I love leopard. And while I tend to gravitate towards wearing it more often during the cooler months-it is perfectly acceptable during the summer time too. Especially when paired back to a bright lip and fun accessories. So if your leopard prints are hanging out in the back of your closet this summer, maybe it’s time to pull them out, dust them off, and give them some summer love!

Fire In the Sky

On July 11, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Happy Friday everyone! Remember how I said earlier in the week that I lost all of the outfit photos I had taken while we were on vacation? Well thanks to my hubby, I was able to salvage the photos from one outfit. And while I am still sad about the others, one, is certainly better than none! So with that said, I have to tell you guys that I am obsessed with this JCrew top. I had been eyeing it for quite some time and immediately snatched it up when it went on sale. The cute embroidered print reminds me of a pink and white Easter dress that I had when I was a little girl, and you all know how much I LOVE neon yellow-a little nostalgia and my favorite pop of color all rolled into one! Plus, it’s a great statement top that can be easily dressed up or down. And when the heat index is high, in my closet, easy, breezy, fun tops like these rule!

Instagram Filter: Valencia

Top: JCrew (on sale-plus get an extra 40% off wth code: SHOPMORE) | Skinnies: 7 For All Mankind (my faves!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot | Bracelet: Lucky Brand (clearly I am obsessed with this cuff-it’s the BEST!), similar, similar | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker, under $10 version | Bag: Steve Madden (old), similar, similar, similar | Wedges: Sole Society (SOOOOOOO comfy!!)

I’m sure you can tell from the photos, but it was really, really windy when we snapped these pics. And while normally I would have just waited a day for better weather, the sky was so incredible that I just couldn’t pass up such a gorgeous back drop. So please don’t mind the wind blown hair!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Think Pink

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!

White Out

On June 24, 2014June 23, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

I love white bags and have been wanting to add one to my collection for quite some time. And while I only had three specific features I knew the bag had to have (saffiano leather, gold hardware, and a structured shape), I had a really hard time finding just the right one. Well thank goodness for Rebecca Minkoff and her huge spring sample sale coinciding with my birthday this year! I was able to snatch up the Avery tote which is not only gorgeous (and one of my favorite RM bags EVER), but it also met all of my white bag requirements. AND the icing on top of the cake? I was able to get it for less than half of the regular retail price! My favorite kind of purchase!

Starting today, I am going to be on the road for the next two weeks (one week for work, and the other for a wedding and mini vacay), so be sure to follow me on Instagram to keep up with all of our crazy adventures, and to get your daily outfit fix.

Geometry

I was never a huge fan of geometry, but I do love a great geometric print! And this dress is no exception. Not only is it fun and unique, but it’s also a fantastic piece to wear for work or play. And if you are looking to make the most of your wardrobe, then a versatile dress (or two!) is key!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know I for one couldn’t be happier that it is now officially summer-and that makes my Monday just a little more bearable!
