Secret Garden

On August 4, 2014August 4, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Well, despite my best intentions last week, I just could not get it together to get any content up on the blog. I thought I would have plenty of time to snap and share outfit photos, but we were so busy boating, rafting, fishing, hitting Glacier National Park, and enjoying family and friends, that there just wasn’t a lot of downtime. So my apologies for the lack of posts!

Fortunately, J and I did manage to snap off a few outfit shots on the last night of our trip at my mom and dad’s house-including these photos taken in my mom’s GORGEOUS garden. My parent’s yard is stunning and I wish I could take blog photos there all the time! In fact, it was in this very garden that I took some of my senior pictures! Crazy to think of how long ago that was!

Hope you all had a wonderful week last week and a wonderful weekend. Can you believe it’s August already? I know I can’t. Too bad there isn’t a way to just slow down summer a bit. I hate that it goes so fast!

Happy Monday!

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!

Mellow Yellow

On July 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

As promised, I wanted to show you all my fave JCrew dress without the vest (see the post of it with the vest here), for a little more dressed up version of this look. Also, it should be noted that I am really loving neon yellow right now. In fact, it’s kind of to the point where I feel like I just might need an intervention. To me, neon yellow is just like sunshine, only kicked up a notch. But I want to know what you guys think! Are you loving this color as much as I am this summer? And which look do you prefer? With or without the vest?

Wishing you all a WONDERFUL weekend!

Versatility

I’m way into rompers right now. I don’t know what it is, but I keep gravitating towards them over dresses in my closet this summer. I think because they are actually shorts, they can have a slightly more casual feel which makes them seemingly appropriate for just about any occasion-from a backyard BBQ to date night. BUT, rompers are also super easy to glam up. Just add a big floppy sun hat, statement heels, and an oversized pair of sunnies-and bam! Instant glam! And if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times-versatile pieces (like rompers!) are the key to a well-rounded wardrobe!

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Romper: BarIII (on sale for under $40!), also loving this, this, and this | Necklace: Stella & Dot (older style), new version, similar | Hat: Forever21 | Clutch: Hobo International Vida (on sale and comes in a ton of colors!) | Sunnies: Karen Walker, similar version (under $10!) | Cuff: Lucky Brand | Heels: JustFab, LOVE these

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

Thank you so much for swinging by!

Neon Crush

On July 14, 2014July 13, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Clearly I am obsessed with neon yellow right now. It is such a bright and happy color and just oozes summer time to me. So when I saw this neon yellow lace dress at JCrew, I knew it was the perfect thing to add to my closet. And because I wanted to be able to wear it not just on special occasions, but on casual ones too, pairing it back to an uber cool surplus vest seemed like just the ticket to tone it down a notch. And if you’re a regular follower of this blog, then you know I love a good completer piece. But be sure to check back later this week, as I’ll be showing you how I wore this dress without the vest too!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I have to tell you guys, my travel schedule has been so crazy, between vacation, work, and a bike race this weekend for the hubs, I woke up in 5 (5!!!) different town last week. So I couldn’t be happier that I am going to be home (and sleeping in my own bed!) for the next two weeks! Hallelujah!

Happy Monday, dolls!

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!

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

Back To Basics

Sometimes it’s hard to beat a basic tee back to boyfriend jeans. In fact, it’s one of my favorite go-to looks. It’s also a super easy outfit to take from day to night- just add a fab pair of heels and some statement jewelry, and you’re off! Easy as one, two, three!

Muah!

Pink and Blue

I love the combination of pink and blue together. In fact, it’s one of my all time favorite color combinations. And another current favorite? These ah-mazing pink lace up heels…
