American Eagle Part Three

On October 11, 2013October 11, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Happy Friday everyone! And welcome to the third and final installment of my Bloggers Do It Better feature with American Eagle! This outfit was my personal favorite of the three. Which should come as no surprise, because as I’ve said time and time again on this blog, there is nothing I love more than mixing something sweet back to something a little more gritty-especially when there is a little (or a lot) of sparkle involved…

No Place Like Home

There is just something special about a pair of red shoes. Maybe it’s the Dorothy Gale in me, but I’ve been drawn to them since I was a little girl and have always longed for my very own pair of ruby red slippers. And while I doubt these will take me anywhere with the click of my heels, at least they are pretty (and amazingly comfortable too)…

Camo Couture

Since I’m heading down south tomorrow, it seems I’ve got camo on my mind. And believe it or not, camo just happens to be one of my very favorite prints. Maybe it’s the Montana girl in me, or maybe it’s the years I spent below the Mason Dixon line-either way, I couldn’t be happier that it’s an important print for the season. Kinda feels right up my alley-especially dolled up a little!

I hope you all are having a wonderful week!

P.S. Can you believe it’s October already? Holy cow! Where on earth did the month of September go?

Leopard Kicks

On September 30, 2013September 29, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

It’s no secret that I love leopard. So I couldn’t be more excited that leopard is really in this season. And I feel pretty strongly that one must-have-item every gal should add to her closet this Fall is a pair of leopard shoes. So whether you pick pumps, wedges, flats, or boots, just be sure to find your perfect leopard pair to help take your style up a notch this Fall!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It certainly felt like fall here, but it was lovely. I am heading to my Alma mater this Thursday to celebrate Homecoming and my 10 year reunion-and I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I am sure it will make this week go by extra slow (of course!).

Back To Basics

Not only is Fall officially here, but it is also officially in the air. And the first thing I seem to find myself reaching for these days is my favorite chambray shirt. Paired with fun accessories, it’s a comfy, chic way to kick off the season and ease yourself out of those easy, breezy summer clothes…

Just A Sliver

On September 16, 2013September 14, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

One look that was all over NYFW that I am feeling a little on the fence about? Midriff baring tops. Now when I was in my early 20’s, I most definitely would have embraced this trend. But now that I am a littler older, it’s daring a look that pushes me out of my fashion comfort zone. And of course, forces me to acknowledge that certain trends are perhaps sometimes better suited for younger demographics. And while you won’t see me baring my full midriff anytime soon, I must admit I love the idea of taking a classic outfit, adding some pretty jewels and toughed-up shoes, and showing just a hint of skin. Now that I think I can handle…

When my husband was snapping these photos, he didn’t realize at first that I was showing a sliver of my midriff. But when he did, he couldn’t help but laugh at me (thanks a lot!!!). So hopefully you are not having the same reaction! But I have to ask, what do you think of the midriff trend?

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Fashion Fusion

I had such a fantastic time at the Fall Fashion Fusion event at Fashion Place Mall last Friday. From the red carpet arrival, to the VIP treatment, and all of the goodies c/o Fashion Place, I felt pretty darn special. And not only that, but show was fun and inspiring and of course I always LOVE seeing the designs created by the students at the Fashion Institute. And with that, I thought I might end the week by sharing some photos from the evening with all of you!

Fall Into Color

On September 11, 2013September 11, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve got a bad habit. When I buy something extra special, or that I really love, I often find I let it stay tucked neatly into my closet saving it for the “perfect” occasion. And sometimes, that perfect occasion is awfully slow in coming. So I am trying to be better about wearing those “special” pieces right off the bat. But I’ve got to admit-I’m a work in progress.

But lucky for me, when styled appropriately, color is perfectly acceptable during the fall and winter seasons. And that means there will hopefully still be lots of special occasions for me to wear my favorite (previously unworn) Kate Spade skirt. And while the temps are still pretty warm, I am loving it back to denim, for a look that’s both seasonally and weather appropriate!

So I have to ask. Does anyone else out there have the same bad habit I do? Do you wear your special items right away? Or save them for later?

Thanks for stopping by. You all brighten my day more than you know.

Perfect Harmony

On September 9, 2013September 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am loving the sneak peeks I am getting through social media from all of the happenings in NYC for Fashion Week. And I have to say that one trend I am happy to see will be continuing into the Spring 2014 season is black and white. In my opinion, no other color combo creates such perfect harmony while being so chic and effortless at the same time. Plus it creates the ideal canvas to add a pop of color, or a pretty metallic.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Ours was packed with fun events-so of course it went by way too fast. But fortunately, we’ve got a lot of fun things on the horizon to look forward to, including a mini Vegas vacay and a trip back to Nashville for my 10 year Vanderbilt reunion. And believe me, I’m already planning my outfits for both trips and can’t wait to share them with all of you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Deer

I love this tee. It’s just one of those pieces that brings a smile to my face. And while I normally gravitate towards pairing graphic tee’s with denim, I also love the contrast of a casual tee back to something dressier, like a pencil skirt and layered baubles. A whimsical, yet polished look perfect for date night, or a girl’s night out on the town…

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Ours was spent in Park City with family and filled with lots of biking, eating, and laughing. And I’ve got to say, it was pretty darn wonderful.

And even thought it’s never easy to get back into the swing of things, I hope you are all having a great start to your week. Thanks for stopping by!
