Sorry I’m Not Sorry

I find it to be kind of amusing when people use the term “Sorry I’m not sorry”. And I have to say, that is exactly how I feel every time I slip on these neon heels. I mean, let’s be honest, I am pretty much obsessed with them. They are so super comfy, go with just about everything, and bring such a fun element to any outfit. And even though they are from last summer, I still can’t seem to get enough. So I am just going to have to put it out there-I’m sorry I’m not sorry that you are (once again this season) going to be seeing a lot of these pumps on the blog…

I love a good graphic tee. And since I missed out on the Kiss tee that JCrew launched this fall, I pounced on the Hello tee as soon as I saw it in store. And boy am I glad that I did. It’s already made a plethora of appearances in my daily wardrobe, including on NYE when I wore it with a sequin jacket, ripped jeans, and sparkly pumps. I mean what better way to say hello to the new year than on your t-shirt? And because a t-shirt and ripped jeans back to dressed up accessories is still going to be a go-to look for me in 2014, I can’t wait to come up with more ways to style this tee. But today’s look is probably my favorite to date-ultra laid back and causal with a splash of statement jewelry and a flash of silver accessories…

I don’t know about you all, but yesterday was painful. I was so not ready for vacation to be over and to be back at work. But the good news is, we are heading to Denver this weekend. So I am definitely looking forward to a road trip with my sweet family and a little time spent in the Mile High City!

Hope your week is off to a far less painful start than mine! 😉

Radiant Orchid

On January 6, 2014January 6, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have to admit, I usually get pretty excited every year when Pantone announces their “official” color of the year. But last year I was so thrilled when they announced that the “it” color of 2013 was Emerald Green, that I didn’t hold out much hope for 2014-that is until they announced that their official color of the year was Radiant Orchid (insert swoon here). Now if there is one color that could top Emerald Green in my book, this is most definitely it. So what better way to kick off my 2014 blog posts than with an ode to Radiant Orchid, Pantone’s official color of 2014…

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I have to admit, I’m a little sad to be back to the grind today. My time away from work just seemed to go by so quickly. But the good news is, I have a lot to look forward to in the next couple of months!

Happy Monday! And thanks for stopping by!

P.S. How amazingly gorgeous is Utah? So blessed to live in this beautiful state!

I Heart Pink

I’ve noticed that I’ve been sharing quite a few outfits on the blog as of late that have a lot of red in them. ‘Tis the season, I suppose. But today I wanted to share with you a look that is still entirely appropriate for the season, even though the primary focus isn’t red. In my opinion, shades of frosty pinks and blues work just as well for the holiday season as any red ensemble…

Happy, happy Friday to you all! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog. Enjoy your weekend!

Half Tucked

On May 28, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

I love the half tuck. It’s an easy way shake things up a bit and the perfect balance between looking casual and polished. And while I usually prefer to wear this look with a belt, this time I went without. And in this instance, I think it lends itself particularly well back to distressed denim…

Instagram Filter: Valencia

I have to admit that my mom and I had a good laugh about the half tuck while my family was in town for the holiday weekend. You see, the half tuck is a casual look that my dad has been rocking for as long as I can remember. And while we have always teased him about it (also for as long I can remember), it’s a great example of how cyclical fashion can be. Hold onto something long enough and it’s bound to come back around…

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Knots Landing

I am so happy that maxi dresses are back on the docket for spring this year. And perhaps what makes me even happier, is the new trend of tying the bottom of your maxi in a knot. It is the perfect (and oh-so-simple) way to change-up an old favorite, making it feel fresh and new for the season!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours was filled with lots of projects and yard work, but it felt great to be extra productive and get things done around the house. And of course (despite the copious amount of manual labor), it went by way too fast, as weekends tend to do. Good thing there is a nice, long holiday weekend ahead of us!

Happy Monday!

The It Factor

On May 7, 2013May 6, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

There is always an “it” piece for me every season. Okay, well maybe a few different, “it” pieces. But whether it’s a pair of shoes, a new handbag, or a some sort of fabulous accessory, there are always bound to be a couple of key things that will top my wish list and be on constant rotation in my closet. And I have to say that this season, it’s safe to say that my pretty rosette necklace is going to be one of those pieces…

Instagram Filter: Nashville

I initially fell in love with this necklace when I spotted it in JCrew at the beginning of the season. But as enamored as I was, I just couldn’t bring myself to pay the hefty retail price tag for it. And boy am I glad that I waited. Not only did I get an amazing deal on the T+J version (which is excellent quality, by the way), but I was also able to pick it up in another color. I am going to have so much fun styling this necklace over the next couple of months-I can’t wait!

Often times when I put together an outfit, it’s because I am inspired by a pair of shoes, a handbag, an image I’ve seen, or in this case, a necklace. I am loving statement necklaces this spring, and this one is one of my favorites. I love the pretty flowers, chain length, and the unexpected and unique combination of mint and neon yellow. So much so in fact, that an entire outfit came to fruition because of it…

I just wanted to take a minute and send my love to Boston. I feel so heartbroken by the events that transpired yesterday and can’t even begin to imagine the hurt and the devastation that the victims and their families are feeling right now. And while I wish I had more to offer, I hope they know they have my support and prayers.

God bless you all today and in the days to come.
