Leopard Love

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

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….

My hubby races bikes every Saturday in the Fall. And after his race, we usually like to find a new place somewhere in the city to either grab a beer or a coffee and a treat to celebrate. It’s nothing too big or significant, but one of my favorite weekend traditions none-the-less. And because our Saturday’s are so laid back, my outfits tend follow suit and are generally some variation of the below. Jeans, puffy vest, booties, repeat…

Tee: H&M (can’t find it online, but check in store!), also loving this and this | Vest: JCrew (my new fave and it’s on sale!) | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X (obsessed) | Necklace: Tiffany | Sunnies: Target (old), similar | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Booties: Lucky Brand (last year) this year’s version, similar, similar

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Mad Hatter

I can’t stop wearing hats this Fall. They might just be my favorite trend. And swingy, comfy sweaters? Another closet staple. So if you are looking to update your wardrobe this season, I highly recommend considering a new floppy hat and a comfy, cozy sweater (or two) in a rich jewel tone.

Instagram Filter: Mayfair

LIPS: Rebel by MAC (looks amazing on everyone-trust me!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday!!!

Blanketed

I am a big fan of the blanket scarf trend. When the temps drops and there is snow on the ground, there is just something so cozy and comforting about wrapping up in one. So when I was in SF a couple of weeks ago for business meetings, I popped into Zara to check out their assortment for the season (since they are the authority in chic blanket scarves). And I have to say that while I was smitten with the entire collection (and a lot of other things in the store, for that matter), the scarf below was the one that stole my heart. And now that it has finally cooled off in the SLC, I can already tell that it is going to be a go-to item in my closet this season!

Jacket: Forever21 (old), similar, just got this one (it’s on sale for under $50 and MUCH cuter in person!) | Skinnies: American Eagle (love their new denim X-it holds it’s shape really well AND it’s super affordable!) | Scarf: Zara, similar, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Michael Kors | Booties: BCBG via TJMaxx, LOVE these

Hope you are all having a fantastic start to your week! And don’t forget to swing by my Instagram (alldolledupblog) and check out all of the great items I have for sale from my closet!

Booties

On October 28, 2014October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Today, I want to talk about booties. They are everywhere this season and I am absolutely in love with the trend. BUT I’ll be honest, I find booties very difficult to wear. I workout and bike and ski a lot, so I don’t have super skinny legs. I’m also short (not quite 5’4″), so I find that most booties can tend to make me look thick in the legs and even shorter than I already am! And that is definitely not look I’m going for! Ha! I’ve tried on countless pairs and always love them on the rack and on other people, but seldom like them on myself. However, I have finally found the trick to the perfect bootie for all you gals out there who are struggling with this trend like me. And the secret, my friends? Booties that dip down in the front, or that are a little closer to a pump than a bootie (like the pair in today’s post-a shootie, if you will). Seriously, I can’t tell you what a difference a little dip in the front will make for you and the length it will give you back in your legs. So if you have been feeling anything like me when it comes to booties-don’t give up! I’ve linked up some of my favorite, and (more importantly) flattering booties below!

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Sweater: Old Navy | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind, similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), obsessed with this and this| Bracelets: Stella & Dot, Forever21 (old), similar | Hat: Jessica Simpson via Nordstrom Rack (LOVE the Candied Ginger color) | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Booties: Jessica Simpson via TJMaxx (I can’t find these anywhere online-sorry!)

And last but not least, here are my recommendations for flattering booties: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, my faves, splurge

Plaid To The Bone

On October 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Every fall (it never fails), I become plaid obsessed. Something about cool weather, football, chili, tailgating, scarves, and boots makes want to break out all of my favorite plaid shirts. So my apologies in advance if you are seeing an abundance of plaid on the blog this season, but I just can’t help myself. And if you don’t have any plaid in your closet, then be sure to pick up a few pieces this season. Some of my favorite place to shop for plaid? JCrew, JCrew Factory, American Eagle, Madewell, and Ralph Lauren Denim and Supply.

Jacket: Macy’s (old), similar, similar, love this | Plaid Shirt: Express (this shirt has a sequined yoke-so cute!), love this, this, this, this and this (all are on sale!!!) | Skinnies: American Eagle | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: Aldo (old), love these (on sale!)

Casual Friday

Stripes, camo, and leopard…together? You bet! Nothing better than mixing a few favorite prints. And to sweeten the pot? Why not add a vest, your favorite denim, and some basic gold jewelry. And voila! You are ready to take on the weekend in comfortable, casual style!

And ladies, if you are in the SLC, a new Uptown Cheapskate location just opened up in Sugarhouse! I had the privilege of attending their grand opening last week, and let me tell you, the store is darling and they have so many fantastic things in stock right now! So if you are out doing a little shopping this weekend, be sure to stop by and check them out! OR if you need a little extra cash, they will buy your gently used, name brand clothing from you. Now how sweet is that?

Happy weekend friends!

Long Sleeved Dresses

On October 21, 2014October 20, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t know what it is, but I am obsessed with long sleeve dresses this Fall. Now don’t get me wrong, I love wearing all of my sleeveless dresses with cute jackets and cardis, but when the weather is still fairly mild, I love the idea of changing things up a bit and leaving the jacket at home. And while I was obviously drawn to this dress because of the sleeves, I also love it’s unique leopard print. It feels refreshing to me to add a piece to my closet that isn’t a basic leopard, but rather a fun play on my favorite type of print!

What do you guys think of long sleeved dresses? I’d love to hear!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fancy

Today I wanted to share a couple of my fall favorites with you guys-fur vests and hats. Seriously, I can’t stop wearing either. Both are fantastic Fall staples and are a great and easy way to add a little interest to any outfit. I normally keep things fairly simple and would tend to only pick one stand out piece per outfit, but I have to say, I am loving how this look turned out (even if my hubby did tell me Jenny from the Block called and wants her outfit back)…

Happy Thursday, sweet readers!!! I hope you are all having a great week. I have been in San Francisco for business meetings-which I can never complain about it. It is one of my favorite cities in the world and I have so many favorite spots I love to frequent while I am there-one of the perks of my job!
