Easter Traditions

On March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Every year since I can remember, I have looked forward to getting a new dress for Easter Sunday. When I was growing up, my mom would always take me shopping for something new, which most likely involved gloves and a bonnet. And to this day, it’s a tradition that I still adhere to and love (well maybe minus the gloves and the bonnet!).

And this year, when I started looking for a dress, Chic Wish was the first place I started. Lately, they have become my go-to for pretty dresses, skirts, and oh-so feminine tops. They offer gorgeous pieces that are fantastic quality without breaking the bank. So if you are looking for something pretty and unique, be sure to check them out.

Dress: Chic Wish c/o AND it’s under $55!!! (it runs a little small in the arms/shoulders; I am normally a size small, or 4/6, and am wearing a large in this dress-but the quality is FANTASTIC!)

Bracelets: Tiffany and Co., Stella & Dot, JCrew

Sunnies: Prada (obsessed!)

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (old), LOVING this

Heels: Banana Republic (SUPER comfy!), also own and love these

And on a more serious note, if you live in the SLC and are looking for a place to attend an Easter service, or if you are just curious about Jesus and a God who is crazy about YOU (no matter what baggage you THINK you might have), then come, just as YOU are, for what is bound to be an amazing experience at Antioch SLC (and if you aren’t in the SLC, that’s ok-there are Antioch Churches all over the country!). To be 100% real with you guys, the past few months have been proven to be a pretty challenging season in my personal life, and I have found so much grace and solace through Antioch. It’s truly a special place, and I have a feeling Easter is going to be pretty incredible. The service is at 5pm on Sunday at the Falls Event Center at Trolley Square. I will be there and would love to see some of your beautiful faces! So be sure to come and say “hi” if you decide to check it out.

Happy Friday, my sweet friends, and happy Easter weekend! Love you guys!!!

Abby

Boho

On May 12, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Well hi there, friends! I guess I took a little hiatus from the blog! I have been so busy with traveling for work, celebrating my birthday in wine country, and blogging over at SLMag, that I’ve fallen a little behind! But I’m back and hope you are all having a fantastic week!

Today I want to share with you the dress that I wore on my birthday to ride bikes with my sweet hubby through Sonoma for a little wine tasting and fun (if you follow me on Insta @alldolledupblog, then you already got a chance to see it!). I am very short (5’3″), so don’t typically tend to go for the flowy, boho look since a lot of the tops and dresses tend to swallow me up and not look so flattering. But I have been seeing this dress everywhere lately, and really wanted to try it on. And surprisingly, I loved it. In fact, it turned out to be the perfect thing to wear for riding a bike, while still looking somewhat put together at the vineyards!

Also, you will have to forgive the quality of these photos. The fog and wind both rolled in so fast, that this was all we were able to snap before the lighting and weather made it too impossible to shoot. I have some more fun photos that I will be sharing later this week with a complete round up of our amazing trip! So stay tuned!!!!

Hope you are all having a great week!

Derby Style

On May 5, 2014May 5, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Even though I was born and raised out west, I did live in the south for a few years when I pursued a country music career and attended college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. And let me just say, my years in the Music City were some of the best of my life. There is just something about the South that is so near and dear to me. What can I say? I’m a country girl at heart. And because I especially love all of the incredible traditions that come from the South, J and I decided to throw a Derby party this year. I have always wanted to host one, but haven’t had the chance since I moved to Utah. But this year, it was the perfect excuse to get extra dressed up, enjoy the gorgeous weather, drink cocktails in the afternoon, and celebrate my birthday (a few days early) with all of our favorite people! It was a great time had by all, and served as the perfect reminder to wear big, floppy hats more often!

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Dress: Lulu’s (pink is sold out, but it is available in blue, floral, and yellow)

Monogram Necklace: Keti Sorely Designs

Tassel Necklace: Jeweliq

Cuff: Lucky Brand, also loving this and this

Watch: Michael Kors

Hat: Forever21 (gift), similar, similar, similar

Bag: Michael Kors Selma (sold out), obsessed with this new gold version, and loving this studded bag (on major sale!)

Heels: Report Signature via DSW (under $50!)

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! And don’t forget, today is the last day to take advantage of Macy’s big Friends and Family sale (think 25% off of just about everything). Go here to see my top picks!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy shopping!
