Pleats

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

I am loving the pleated trend this season. And of course navy. I don’t know what it is about navy dresses, but I am always drawn to them. So when I spotted this navy pleated number at BCBG, I knew it was a great summer dress-perfect for a plethora of different occasions, and an easy piece to style a lot of different ways. And those are the best types of items to add to your wardrobe-the ones that give you lots of options…

Thank you all SO much for stopping by! Hope you had a fantastic weekend!

Gingham

On June 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Gingham has always been one of my very favorite prints. So when I saw that my favorite Portofino shirt from Express came in a light blue gingham this spring, it was an obvious choice to add to my wardrobe. And let me tell you, I have already worn this shirt a ton AND have so many more ideas of how I will continue to style it different ways all summer long. But I want to know, what you are guys thinking of the gingham trend this season?

Gingham Shirt: Express (these are THE BEST shirts ever and come in TONS of colors!) | Destroyed Denim: Blank NYC (under $100!) | Necklace: Tiffany and Co. | Ring: Rocksbox | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Clare Vivier (sold out), just ordered this one | Heels: Gilt (obsessed!

Sheinside

On June 4, 2015June 4, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve been eyeing the Sheinside website for quite a while now. So when they reached out and asked if I would be interested in trying out some of their clothes, I couldn’t help but oblige. And while there were SO many cute things to choose from on their site, I ultimately settled on a dress that is almost identical to my favorite Free People dress (which you can see here). At a mere price tag of $30 vs. the $148 original version, I wanted to compare the two and really get a feel for the quality of clothing on Sheinside. And you guys, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. While it is a little shorter than the my Free People dress, I overall like the fit better. The arms were also a little slimmer too, which I also prefer. And I have to say, I was also quite impressed with the quality-not only the was the fabric very nice, but the dress was also fully lined. After this experience, I will definitely be shopping with Sheinside again. In fact, you can see my current wish list at the bottom of the post!

Follow the links below to see the other items on my wishlist from Sheinside (and ALL are under $30!!):

Blue Long Sleeve Dress

Peplum and Chiffon Top

Black and White Stripe Tank

White Lace Top

Chiffon Bow Blouse

Floral Peplum Dress (dead ringer for one from Anthro that was swooning over last season!)

Crochet Blouse (my favorite!)

Cold Shoulder Dress

Side Slit Blue Floral Dress

Pleated Cami Dress

White Lace Dress (very similar to the Free People version)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

Tailor Made

On June 2, 2015June 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

As I’ve gotten older, I have learned the importance of a good tailor. And that just because something doesn’t fit you off the rack, doesn’t mean that it can’t still work for you. And the dress in today’s post is the perfect example. My mom and I stumbled on this gem at Anthropologie when my parents were in town a couple of weekends ago. It was originally $228 and we found it on the sale rack marked down to $48 (um, WOW!). It was the gorgeous fabric that initially drew me to it, but the original length was tea length and it just swallowed me up and was really unflattering. But neither of us could get over the fabric (you should see it in person!) so we hatched a plan to have it shortened and I took it to my tailor (who also couldn’t get over the fabric), and he shortened it for me for a mere $20. And I have to say, I think it is one of my very favorite dresses in my closet right now. I guess it goes to show that it can be worth it to think outside of the box a little bit. So if you don’t have a tailor, I would definitely suggest finding a good one in your neighborhood-you just never know when they might come in handy!

Neon

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

We have been having the rainiest weather here in Utah, which has made it really difficult to take outfit photos. So my apologies for being a little quiet over here on the blog. Hopefully once we get through this week, our normal sunny weather will decide to return to us! But today, I wanted to share one of my favorite tops with you. And not just because I love it, but because you can score it on MAJOR sale today! Not only is it the perfect length (a little longer than most button downs), but it has super cute grosgrain ribbon trim, and is the perfect punch of color for both spring and summer (think of how cute it would look with white!!). Link is below!

Hope you are all having a fantastic! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Shifty

I am obsessed with long-sleeved shift dresses. But you know what? Cute ones are incredibly hard to find. So when I decided I wanted one for our trip to Sonoma a couple of weeks ago, I knew I could count on my go-to LuLu’s to have some cute options. And I have to say, as usual, they did not disappoint. So if you have yet to check out LuLu’s, then I highly recommend that you do! They have a plethora of styles at really reasonable prices, quick shipping, and awesome customer service. Plus, they are constantly adding new arrivals to their site, so there are always lots of fun things peruse!

Dress: LuLu’s (sold out), same dress, love this, this, and this, just ordered this for an upcoming girl’s weekend (use code: SUMMER for an additional 40% off!) | Ring: Kendra Scott | Hat: Urban Outfitters | Sunnies: Prada | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Wedges: Jessica Simpson (on sale AND super comfy!)

I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO excited that it’s Thursday. This holiday weekend (and all of the amazing sales!) seriously can’t get here soon enough. Be sure to swing back by later this week(end), as I’ll be sharing a round up of all of the sales happening that you won’t want to miss!

Thanks for stopping by!

Denim Jacket

If you all have followed my blog (or Instagram: alldolledupblog) for any amount of time, then you probably know what a huge fan I am of my JCrew denim jacket. So when they released it in a lighter colorway this year, I knew it would be a great investment for my wardrobe. And it has proven to be just that. So if you are in the market for a denim jacket, or teetering on a decision as to whether or not to add one to your closet, then be sure to check out my tried-and-true favorite. Not only is it cute and stylish, but it’s a classic piece for a fantastic price that you will have in your wardrobe for years to come…

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

No Parking

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

When I was a senior in high school, one of my favorite senior portraits was in front of a really cool “No Parking” sign painted on a falling down building. So when we were heading out to dinner in SF last weekend with friends and I saw this sign on the side of garage, I had to make J stop and snap some photos for the blog. And while I am wearing my usual go-to out outfit (leather jacket, a silky blouse, and my favorite skinnies), it’s my shoes that are noteworthy. As I’ve said many times before, I am a sucker for a great pair of statement shoes, and these certainly fit the bill. And not only is this particular pair gorgeous (you should see them in person!) AND under $70, but they are super comfy to boot!

Hope you all had a fantastic week! Cheers to an even better weekend!

Brights

In case you haven’t noticed, I am into all things floral lately. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to help myself. And stripes and florals together? Pretty sure that is one of my favorite combos of all time. Especially when you add in a little pop of leopard!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Can you believe it’s May already?????

Happy Monday!

Neon Dream

I love bright colors. And at the top of that list? All things neon. Which makes this skirt one of my very favorite things in my closet this spring. Not only do I love the bright shade, but it’s nicely lined, has the perfect amount of structure, and feels completely different from anything else in my closet while still being a classic silhouette. And even better than that? YOU can snag it on sale for 30% off right now (it also comes in a couple of other gorgeous colors!). Link below!!!
