Pop of Plaid

Well hello there, and happy Tuesday sweet readers! Today, I am sharing with you a 2nd outfit idea to wear to your Thanksgiving dinner. Yesterday, I posted a super casual outfit (a tunic and leggings), and today, I wanted to share with you a dressier option-with a pop of plaid (of course!). And one thing all of my outfits ideas have in common this week? COMFORT!!! While I am all for being stylish on any given day, to me, comfort is key on Thanksgiving! And a relaxed fit dress (with pockets!), paired back to my favorite plaid shirt and leather jacket certainly seems to fit the bill!

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…

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Flannel: Express (the shoulders have sequins!! I LOVE this shirt!), non-sequin version here | Vest: H&M (old), similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), similar, LOVE this one | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Clutch: Michael Kors | Booties: INC (most comfortable and cutest booties EVER!)

Hope your week is off to a great start and more importantly, that you are staying warm during this arctic front!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….

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!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It was freezing here in the SLC, so we ate lots of comfort food and warmed up in the hot tub! But the cooler weather definitely got me in the holiday spirit and has left me feeling excited! I love all of the anticipation of this time of year!

Happy Monday!

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

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Tuesday!

Texture

It’s no secret that I love print mixing. But what you might not know is that I am also a fan of mixing different textures and fabrics. And when I stumbled on this fun version of a classic surplus coat while recently shopping for a dress for my cousin’s wedding, I just couldn’t help myself. It’s the perfect Fall piece with just enough of a twist to make an old staple feel new again…

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Jacket: Bohme (local SLC boutique), similar, similar | Tank: Express (old), similar | Skinnies: 7 for All Mankind Slim Illusion (BEST EVER-and they’re on major sale!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot (older style), similar, LOVE this one | Clutch: Clare Vivier, flat version (a little less expensive) | Sunnies: Ray-ban | Pumps: Enzo Angiolini via Nordstrom Rack, similar, similar

Lips: Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in F-Bomb

Well hello there, Friday! And hello there, sweet readers! I am so glad to be back with another outfit post for you guys today! My apologies for the radio silence, but I was traveling all week for work, and it poured rain all last weekend, so I fell a little behind with my outfit photos. But the good news is I’m back, AND it’s the end of another work week! So what better way to kick off the first weekend of the glorious month of October than by showcasing my favorite buffalo plaid shirt and destroyed black skinnies!

Hope you all had a wonderful week! Happy weekend, and happy October!

Salt Lake Magazine Feature

On September 19, 2014September 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was beyond thrilled when the sweet Fashion Editor from Salt Lake Magazine contacted me and asked if I would sit down with her for an interview about my blog and career in the fashion industry for their September/October issue. And as you can imagine, of course I said yes! What an honor to be able to talk about All Dolled Up and work with some of the amazing (and talented!) people behind the glossy publication!

And so today, I wanted to share with you the looks I styled for the photo shoot. I had so much fun coming up with Fall inspired outfits for this project (even though it was a sweltering 100 degrees the day we shot!), and it was the perfect excuse to finally buy the tulle skirt from Space 46 Boutique that I had been eyeing for months. And let me tell you, every girl should own a tulle skirt!

Outfit #2: Sweater: Express (old), similar, LOVE this | Tulle Skirt: Space 46 Boutique (so in love with EVERY tulle skirt on this site!) | Necklaces: Stella & Dot, Dillards (old), identical | Clutch: Michael Kors(old), similar | Heels: Ivanka Trump (last season), LOVING these

You can check out the feature and read the article about All Dolled Up here. And if you are in the SLC area, be sure to pick up a copy! The issue is on newsstands now through the end of October!

Happy Friday everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

Golden Hour

This past weekend, J and I had a little staycation up in Park City. And even though it was officially the last weekend of summer, the Fall season has already crept into the mountains. The leaves are starting to change colors and it was definitely jacket weather. But since I’m not ready to give up dresses quite yet, I am extending their seasonality by pairing them back to denim and leather jackets. And I’ve got to say, summer to fall transitional fashions are some favorite looks to put together!

Hope you guys are having a great week so far. Thank you SO much for stopping by!

I love a great chambray dress. It is the epitome of casual chic, and a perfect (and super easy) piece for summer that also transitions well into Fall! I especially love to style mine back to neutral accessories and gold jewelry and love the extra glam factor that a floppy hat and white bag can add. It feels to me like the prefect ensemble for a Sunday brunch or fun lunch date. Plus, you can score this dress from Old Navy for less than $30. Talk about a no-brainer!
