Blank Slate

On October 6, 2015October 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good off-the-shoulder dress. And the pretty color of this one sold me almost immediately. Plus, I’m always a big fan of pieces that can be styled a plethora of different ways. And this dress is just that, the perfect blank slate.

Dress: Asos (on sale for $32!), also love this | Bracelet: Chan Luu c/o | Sunnies: Dolce & Gabanna | Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff (under $100!) | Heels: Dolce Vita, this pair, and this pair are both on my current “wish list”

Hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Cardi

One of my favorite Fall trends this year is the long vest and cardigan look. And at the risk of aging myself (yikes!), when I was in college, this was one of my very favorite trends. So it should come as no surprise that I am pretty darn excited to welcome these kinds of pieces back into my wardrobe. But I’ve got to know, what are you all think about the longer length sweater trend this season?

Hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Strappy

Do you guys watch Project Runway? It is one of my FAVORITE shows. And in this past episode, Edmond (one of my faves!) made a gorgeous pant suit complete with a cloud inspired vest. It was one of my favorite looks of the week. And the gorgeous, strappy top that he made, reminded me of one I have in my closet that I’ve never posted to the blog. And so today, I thought it would be fitting to share a classic black and white look complete with a bright a lip. A perfect Fall date night look inspired by one of my favorite shows!

Top: Express (on sale! buy one get one 50% off!) | Skinnies: Gap | Bag: Clare V. (sold out), leather version, clutch version | Sunnies: Karen Walker via Ditto (try them for one month FREE with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Pumps: Jessica Simpson (sold out), craving these

Happy Monday, y’all! Hope your weekend was fantastic!

Work It

On September 15, 2015September 15, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t often post many wear-to-work inspired ideas on the blog. You guys always seem to respond really well to my more casual and laid back looks, so that is what I tend to stick with sharing. But because dressing for work is such an important part of our wardrobes, I want to start infusing a few more of these posts into the mix.

That said, when I am looking for things to wear to work, I like to try and invest in classic and timeless pieces that I can style a lot of different ways. I also travel a ton for my job, so I also tend to gravitate towards fabrics that pack well and wear well on an airplane or in a car. And of course for me, even though I have to dress “business casual” the majority of the time, comfort still plays an important role in my workday wardrobe choices.

So if you are looking to improve or expand upon your current 9-5 wardrobe, but aren’t sure where to start, two staples that I recommend for every working girl? A go-to black dress, and a classic camel coat.

And don’t forget! If you want to try my Prada Sunnies (or any of my favorite Karen Walker sunglasses for that matter!) you can rent them for ONE MONTH FREE! After that it’s $19 a month for as many or as a few months as you would like! So if you are like me and love designer sunnies, but hate the crazy price tag, this is definitely the way to go. Stop by Ditto to browse their AH-mazing collection and use code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out to retrieve your free month!!

Leather and Lace

On September 8, 2015September 7, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love this time of year when I can transition my summer dresses into the Fall season. And even more than that, I love that I don’t have to put my white items away after Labor Day! Because as perfect as this white lace dress was to wear during the summer months, I actually prefer it dressed up with Fall ready accessories. And if you didn’t buy this FANTASTIC faux leather jacket last year (it is my absolute FAVORITE), it’s not too late, because Nordstrom brought it back again this season. It really is just that good (and it’s under $100)!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Can you believe we are back to another work week already??? I think ALL weekends should be at least three days long, don’t you?

Summer Dresses

On August 19, 2015August 18, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am and always have been a jeans and t-shirt kind of a girl. But last summer, I made an effort to start wearing more dresses. Especially during the summer months. And you know what? It is definitely something that has stuck. I find myself wearing more and more dresses these days without even making a conscious effort to do so. And this easy, breezy swing dress from Express is at the top of my list. I first found the long sleeve version this spring (which you can see how I styled it here), and then found it in sleeveless stripes, and now in this gorgeous cobalt blue. It is definitely a go-to in my wardrobe and as I head out on vacation today, you can guarantee it’s packed neatly in my suitcase!

Dress: Express (on major sale!), also LOVE this | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Cuff: Stella & Dot (can’t stop wearing this!) | Ring: Macy’s | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff, on major sale in this color | Heels: DV by Dolce Vita (on sale for UNDER $30!!), just bought these (ah-mazing and worth every penny!)

Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Happy hump day!

White After Labor Day

On August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’m baaaaaack! Been a bit of a rough week for me over here. I got some bad spider bites while we were on a float trip this past weekend and have been having an allergic reaction to them in the form of hives all over my arms and legs! Gross! Didn’t figure you all would want to see that on the blog, so I’ve just been taking it easy this week.

Fortunately, I started to feel a little better last night which is why I’m finally back today. And good thing too, because I want to talk about how much I love white pants!! I was so hesitant to buy them at first because I knew I would get them dirty (which I pretty much do every time I wear them), but it has been so worth it. Not only do they look great with almost every cute summer top in my closet (especially bright colors!), but I can’t wait to transition these bad boys into Fall with booties and oversized sweaters! Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day???

Vest: Tommy Girl (old), similar, similar | Tank: Express (my favorite cami AND it’s reversible and comes in tons of colors/prints!) | White Skinnie: AG (on sale!), also love these (on sale for under $50!), and these | Necklace: Stella & Dot | Cuff: Lucky Brand(old), just ordered this | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Heels: INC (my faves! they are SO comfy and come in several colors)

Hope you are all having a great week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Romper Style

On July 31, 2015July 30, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

So now that I’ve decided I can wear the off-the-shoulder trend (see this post where I talk about how I didn’t think it would work for my body type), I can’t seem to get enough of it. Ha! Isn’t that the way that it always goes. But I have to say that for me lately, it doesn’t get much better than an off-the-shoulder romper. My husband and I love to bike in the summer and often ride our tandem road bike to dinner or drinks and apps, so I am always looking for cute outfits that are appropriate for bike riding AND date night (which is much harder than you would think!). But I have found that rompers, above all else, always seem to fit the bill. Especially when they cost less than $20!!

Romper: SheIn c/o (under $30!!!) | Ring: Macy’s (anniversary gift from my sweet hubby!) | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Heels: Marc Fisher (old), similar here and here

Happy, happy Friday sweet friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! And don’t forget, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday. So don’t miss out on your chance to save a ton on a lot of amazing outfits. You can see all of my top picks here and here. AND most are under $100. Can’t beat that!

Summer Fashion Hacks

On July 28, 2015July 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

There are two things I am really into this summer: destroyed boyfriend shorts with heels, and orange lipstick. And for whatever reason, I seriously can’t seem to get enough either! Maybe it’s because together or alone, they both give the perfect balance of making you look like you tried, even if you really didn’t. And I’m here to tell you, that I’ll take advantage of any fashion hacks that come my way during the summer months!

Sweater: Express (on sale for 40% off in lots of colors, there is also a gray color here!) | Shorts: Rag & Bone (on sale!), also love these | Necklaces: Stella & Dot (here and here) | Cuff: House of Harlow | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Hat: JCrew | Bag: Tory Burch | Wedges: Nordstrom (under $55 during the #Nsale and really comfy-they also come in black!)
Lipstick: Stila Stay-All-Day Lipstick in Carina

Is it bad that’s only Tuesday and I already can’t wait for the weekend? I don’t want to wish my summer away, but I just want to play! lol

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

Fringe Benefits

On July 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love a good striped dress. And with the slightly cooler weather here in the SLC that has been layering itself in with our typically hot temps, I have found that some evenings, it’s nice to have a light coat with me as an option. Plus these tassel shoes. I can’t even. I’m pretty sure they are my favorite purchase from the #NSale. They are less than $90 and also come in black and red. So if you are looking for a pair of really fun statement shoes, then look no further, my friends. Happy Monday!

Dress: SheIn c/o (obsessed AND it’s under $20!) | Jacket: Gap (old), similar | Cuff: Macy’s | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Fringe Heels: Steve Madden (on sale!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
