Black and White

Sometimes there is no better color combo than classic black and white.  Especially when paired back to a pop of leopard and a bold lip to add a little dimension.  Plus, do you guys love beanies as much as I do?  I’m pretty sure I would wear one every day if I could.  Not only are they super cute and cozy, but they are also completely practical for this time of year.  And when fashion and practicality collide, you can almost always rest assured that I’m a fan!!!

Winter Pastels

I am loving the pastel trend this winter.  To me, there is just something so soft and beautiful about wearing colors like lilac during the crisp, white, winter months.  And not only are pastels an unexpected (and fun!) choice right now, but they are a nice transition from the bold holiday colors of red and green (not that you can’t still wear those colors now too!!)…

A Look Back

Happy New Year, sweet friends!  I love the anticipation and possibility that a new year brings, but I also love reflecting on another year’s end.  The good times, the bad, the lessons learned, the hurts, the joy, the laughter, the adventure, and even the fashion.  And so today, to give 2014 a proper send off on the blog, I wanted to share my favorite look from each month over the course of the last year!  Enjoy!!!

December Rain

We have had an unusually warm and dry winter here in the SLC thus far.  So when the rain and sleet started coming down this past weekend, I was actually a little thrilled because I am hoping for a white Christmas (duh!), but also a little bummed because rain and blog photos usually don’t mix.  But we managed to take cover and get these shots done.  And guess what?  I’m rocking green again (in a little different shade than Monday’s post) for the holiday season!  This outfit is an easy one to put together and perfect for a holiday party-especially when paired back a red lip!

Downtown

I am all about army green surplus jackets and they always seem to reign supreme in my closet this time of year. But truth be told, this camel color jacket has been my absolute favorite this season! It’s such a refreshing alternative to the ever popular olive-green jacket, and the gold hardware makes it feel extra special.  It really is the perfect piece to throw on with jeans for all of those weekend errands and last-minute Christmas shopping!!

The Holiday Season

I love this time of year.  And one of my favorite parts?  The holiday parties!  And fortunately, this season, J and I have plenty to attend-the first of which is this weekend!  So when I saw this skirt in the Nordstrom Savvy department a couple of weeks ago, I knew it was the perfect holiday party piece to add to my closet!  And I’m especially loving it back to a plaid shirt with a pop of red-helps to make it slightly less dressy and perfect for any type of holiday occaision!

Layers

We have had such a mild fall here in the SLC, that I almost forgot how brutal it can be to have to take blog photos during the winter months.  But boy, was I sure reminded in a hurry when we shot these photos on Saturday.  I guess it’s time to break out the winter coats, and pile on the layers.  And speaking of layers?  Surplus vests over plaid and flannels is still a combo at the top of my list this season…

Queen of Hearts

I love a great heart print sweater or sweatshirt-kind of takes me back to being a kid in the ’80’s! But a great print is always a super easy way to dress up an otherwise basic outfit.  And who doesn’t love a great pop of cobalt blue?  Blue is one of the colors this season and I am absolutely loving it!

Happy Monday!

 

Leopard Love

You know me, I love leopard.  So when I spotted this jacket while I was in SF for business meetings a couple of weeks ago, I knew it was a perfect addition to my closet.  And when everyone asked about it when I posted it on my Instagram last week (follow me at @alldoledupblog if you haven’t already!), I knew it had to make an appearance on the blog….
