Salt Lake Magazine Feature

On September 19, 2014September 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was beyond thrilled when the sweet Fashion Editor from Salt Lake Magazine contacted me and asked if I would sit down with her for an interview about my blog and career in the fashion industry for their September/October issue. And as you can imagine, of course I said yes! What an honor to be able to talk about All Dolled Up and work with some of the amazing (and talented!) people behind the glossy publication!

And so today, I wanted to share with you the looks I styled for the photo shoot. I had so much fun coming up with Fall inspired outfits for this project (even though it was a sweltering 100 degrees the day we shot!), and it was the perfect excuse to finally buy the tulle skirt from Space 46 Boutique that I had been eyeing for months. And let me tell you, every girl should own a tulle skirt!

Black and White

On September 15, 2014September 14, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love the black and white trend this season. And because black is such a staple (and something I know all of you already own in your own personal wardrobes), this should be an easy trend for anyone to get in on this season without necessarily having to pick up anything new. And while black and white is a relatively safe trend to try, bordering on the more serious and sophisticated side of style, remember that it’s okay to have a little fun with it and think outside of the box too-like mixing graphic prints and stripes together.

On a side note, can you believe all of the gorgeous sunflowers? They are out in full bloom right now in Utah and I am loving every second of it! Hope you all had a great weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Back To Black

Sometimes there is nothing better than a LBD. Especially this time of year when paired back to a black leather jacket and a pop of leopard. There is just something so chic, yet so effortless about it. Talk about an easy way to look like you dressed up without even trying! And in my book, fashion shortcuts and pieces you can style all year long are the best.

Instagram Filter: Mayfair

Dress: BarIII (on sale for under $25-such a fantastic staple piece!) | Jacket: BlankNYC (best faux leather jacket ever and it’s under $100!) | Necklace: Merle Norman Draper, similar, similar | Cuff: Fair Trade, LOVE this one (also fair trade) | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker Number One | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Pumps: Joan and David, similar, similar

I should also note that I am wearing two of items from the Ultimate Fall Shopping Guide that I posted last night (clutch and jacket). They are both things that I’ve had a for quite a while, but classic pieces that will be important items in my wardrobe for seasons to come!

Happy hump day!

Shades Of Gray

I have been on the hunt for a cute pair of gray jeans for a while now. So I was pretty excited when I found these cuffed Joe’s skinnies on sale for a major steal at Macy’s during the holiday weekend! Gray is a great alternative to your typical blue jeans, it’s an easy neutral, and a perfect addition to your denim wardrobe this Fall season!

This past weekend, J and I had a little staycation up in Park City. And even though it was officially the last weekend of summer, the Fall season has already crept into the mountains. The leaves are starting to change colors and it was definitely jacket weather. But since I’m not ready to give up dresses quite yet, I am extending their seasonality by pairing them back to denim and leather jackets. And I’ve got to say, summer to fall transitional fashions are some favorite looks to put together!

Hope you guys are having a great week so far. Thank you SO much for stopping by!

If you haven’t jumped on the graphic tee bandwagon yet, then you are seriously missing out! I mean seriously, how awesome is it that it is perfectly fashionably acceptable to rock a super-comfy tee with your favorite skirt or heels? This is one trend I’m hoping will stick around for a while! Don’t you just love it when fashion and comfort collide?

And congrats to CINDY AITON! You are the lucky winner of the KiraKira Marrakech Ring! Please send me an email at: abby_doll@hotmail.com so we can work out the details. SO excited for you!

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!

Now onto some exciting news!! If you follow this blog, then you know that I wear my Marrakech ring from KiraKira ALL. THE. TIME!

Flower Power

On August 12, 2014August 12, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t normally find myself gravitating towards floral prints. But when I saw this top at JCrew (it’s on clearance right now, by the way), I think I fell in love a little. It’s such an easy, breezy piece for summer and a perfect match back to shorts. But I’m also envisioning styling it back to denim and taking it into the early fall season layered with a leather or jean jacket. And while I’m certainly not ready for the warmer months to end, it’s definitely time to start strategizing how to take your summer wardrobe into fall!

Instagram Filter: X-Pro

Top: JCrew (on sale!) | Shorts: JCrew (on sale for under $30!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot (last season), similar, similar | Cuffs: Nordstrom, Forever21 (old), similar, LOVE this one | Ring: KiraKira | Sunnies: Karen Walker, similar (under$10!) | Bag: Michael Kors Selma (last season), LOVE this and this (both on sale!) | Heels: Jessica Simpson (soooo comfy and they’re on sale!)

Can you believe we are already starting to talk about how to transition our summer wardrobes into Fall? I sure wish I could slow down time a bit-or even better yet, extend summer for a couple of months!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Coral Crush

On August 11, 2014August 10, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Sometimes I find that daytime events can be a bit tricky to dress for. So when I had the chance to celebrate with my sister-in-law at her baby shower while we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago, I was feeling a bit stumped as to what to wear. I knew I wanted to wear my new chiffon skirt from the Merle Norman store in Draper (see this post), but it felt a little dressy for a daytime event. So after tearing through everything in my suitcase, I settled on a bright coral t-shirt tank (tied in a knot to tone things down a notch), and of course went with my all-time favorite tried-and-true neon coral pumps, and gold accessories. And to be honest? I LOVE the way this outfit turned out and think it would be the perfect choice for a plethora of occasions-day or night.
