Booties

On October 2, 2015October 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but I cannot get enough of long-sleeve dresses and booties this season. It is such an easy and comfy combo, but always leaves me feeling polished and put together. Plus, it’s still been fairly warm here in the SLC, so it’s been a good way to break in some of my favorite Fall pieces while still dressing appropriately for the weather!

Dress: Nordstrom (LOVE! and it’s only $54) | Sunnies: Karen Walker (you can try them for FREE for one month-details below!) | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Carlos Santana(sold out), extremely similar

I am sure by now you guys have heard me talk about Ditto. But if you haven’t, it’s a really cool new concept where you can rent designer sunglasses for just $24/month. It is a FANTASTIC way to test out designer sunglasses to see if they are really worth the price tag, or a great way to rotate through a bunch of sunnies you have been wanting to try. If you are interested in taking the program for a test run, you can try your first month FREE on me! Just enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!

Happy Friday, sweet friends!

Confession: I ordered this “top” thinking that it was a dress. But when it arrived, it was much too short, and the slit was way too high (yikes!) for me to wear it as a dress, let alone in public. Ha! But I loved the print and fabric so much (it is a nice, sturdy scuba material), that I stewed over how to wear it for a while, not wanting to return it. And I finally decided that it could indeed be worn be worn as a top. In the end, while I still wish it was a dress, I am loving how it looks with leggings, and can’t wait to wear it again when the temperature drops with a cute blazer or leather jacket.

Have you guys ever had a similar experience ordering online before?

Tunic: Shein c/o (I would suggest ordering once size up) | Leggings: JCrew (I SWEAR by these, AND they’re on sale for under $55!!) | Cuff: Forever21 (old) love this | Ring: House of Harlow | Sunnies: Karen Walker (rent them for FREE for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout, and then just $24/month after that for as many months as you choose!) | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Heels: Vince Camuto (old), craving these

Hope you are all having a great week. I am traveling again for meetings this week. And I have to tell you, the past few weeks have been so packed full of travel for me that I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that tomorrow marks the first day of October! Where on earth did September go? Cray cray!! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

Strappy

On September 28, 2015September 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Do you guys watch Project Runway? It is one of my FAVORITE shows. And in this past episode, Edmond (one of my faves!) made a gorgeous pant suit complete with a cloud inspired vest. It was one of my favorite looks of the week. And the gorgeous, strappy top that he made, reminded me of one I have in my closet that I’ve never posted to the blog. And so today, I thought it would be fitting to share a classic black and white look complete with a bright a lip. A perfect Fall date night look inspired by one of my favorite shows!

Top: Express (on sale! buy one get one 50% off!) | Skinnies: Gap | Bag: Clare V. (sold out), leather version, clutch version | Sunnies: Karen Walker via Ditto (try them for one month FREE with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Pumps: Jessica Simpson (sold out), craving these

Happy Monday, y’all! Hope your weekend was fantastic!

Boots With The Fringe

On September 22, 2015September 22, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I mentioned last week that I can’t stop wearing dresses and booties together. And it’s true! I just can’t stop. Especially when it comes to long sleeve dresses and just about anything with fringe on it. But I know the whole fringe thing is probably a love/hate for most people this season. So I’ve got to ask, what are y’all thinking about fringe for fall? Yay or nay? Love it or leave it?

Dress: ASTR via Nordstrom | Hat: Nordstrom | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunnies: Karen Walker (use code ALLDOLLEDUP to try them for free for one month!) | Booties: Carlos Santana (under $80 and super comfy!)

And DON’T FORGET! I noted it above, but you can try my favorite Karen Walker sunglasses (or any other pair of designer sunglasses for that matter!) FREE for one month. Then you can keep them for $19 a month after that for as many (or as few) months as you like. You can even change them out for another pair! How cool is that? Just go to ditto.com and enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout! Enjoy!

Casual Friday

On September 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good striped tee. Particularly when they are super soft and a little longer in the back than in the front. And my white jeans? Still going strong this fall season. In fact, I love this look for Fall so much, that this type of uniform will definitely be on repeat. I will just have to change out my heels for booties when the temps start to drop!

On a serious note, I also wanted to just take a minute and acknowledge today, September 11th. I still remember so vividly where I was and exactly what I was doing on this day 14 years ago. I remember watching towers fall while my roommates and I cried and clung to each other in our tiny little dorm room. I remember frantically trying to call friends who lived in in NYC to make sure they were ok. I remember how drastically things changed in those moments and how in the blink of an eye, things would never be the same. But most importantly, I remember those who lost their lives, the heroes, the first responders, the children who have grown up without with fathers and mothers. Every soul lost that day was so precious and taken from us much too soon. So even though life marches on, today will be a day full of reflection for me, as I know it will be for many others across this great country and around the world.

Hold tight to your loved ones, and never, ever forget.

Love you guys.

You guys! Can you believe it’s September already? Holy cow! Where the heck did summer go? And while there is part of me that always hates to leave the summer months behind, I certainly do love Fall. Especially Fall fashion! And if you know me in real life, or have followed my blog for very long, then you know my love for military vests during the Fall season. And this year they are back again and bigger than ever! So if you didn’t snag one last year, you can shop my picks below (all under $100!)! A vest is DEFINITELY something versatile that every gal should have in her closet this season!

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should follow me @alldolledupblog), then you might have seen my post about these gorgeous Prada sunnies. I LOVE designer sunglasses, but hate the expensive price tag. So when I discovered Ditto, I knew it was perfect for me. You can rent a pair of DESIGNER sunglasses (think Prada, Karen Walker, Ray-Ban, Illesteva, etc.) for just $19/month (they even have prescription!)! You also get free shipping and can change out your sunnies as often as you want. How amazing is that??? And even better??? Try it for one month FREE by using code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out! ENJOY!

All About Those Shoes

On August 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have been wanting these shoes for a long time, but was a little unsure about the price tag. So after adding them to my Nordie’s shopping bag about 50 times over the last couple of months, I finally decided to go for it. And you know what? I am SO glad that I did. Not only are they super comfortable but they go with WAY more than I thought they would.

In fact, I wore them while I was in Seattle this week for meetings and literally had co-workers and people on the street stopping me to ask where they were from! Plus, since they are a perfect mix between a bootie and shoe, they are a great transitional piece for Fall!

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have fun plans to enjoy the last few days of summer. I’ve been traveling like crazy, so am just excited to have the chance to sleep in my own bed for a few nights!

Summer Dresses

On August 19, 2015August 18, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am and always have been a jeans and t-shirt kind of a girl. But last summer, I made an effort to start wearing more dresses. Especially during the summer months. And you know what? It is definitely something that has stuck. I find myself wearing more and more dresses these days without even making a conscious effort to do so. And this easy, breezy swing dress from Express is at the top of my list. I first found the long sleeve version this spring (which you can see how I styled it here), and then found it in sleeveless stripes, and now in this gorgeous cobalt blue. It is definitely a go-to in my wardrobe and as I head out on vacation today, you can guarantee it’s packed neatly in my suitcase!

Dress: Express (on major sale!), also LOVE this | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Cuff: Stella & Dot (can’t stop wearing this!) | Ring: Macy’s | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff, on major sale in this color | Heels: DV by Dolce Vita (on sale for UNDER $30!!), just bought these (ah-mazing and worth every penny!)

Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Happy hump day!

T-Shirt Dress

On August 17, 2015August 16, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am a huge fan of t-shirt dresses. And I have been especially loving this one lately. First of all, it’s striped (duh!), second, the high low hem-line makes it really unique, and last but not least, it’s under $10! Say what?? Don’t you just love a good deal on a great closet staple? I know I certainly do. PLUS, this is another great example of a piece that is perfect for now and later!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you follow me on Insta (if you don’t, you can follow me here: alldolledupblog), then you know we were in Steamboat Springs, CO for a bike race. We had SUCH a great time! Hard to have to get back to reality today.

Happy Monday, friends!

Burgundy

On August 11, 2015August 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

When it comes to shopping, I am not very good at purchasing items in advance for an upcoming season. Instead, I am more of a buy now, wear now kind of girl. So this time of year gets to be a little tricky for me. While August is one of my favorite times to shop because of all of the amazing deals, summer is also running short on time, so I want to be careful and not purchase things that I am going to have to put away in a few weeks. So instead, I look for transitional items to add to my wardrobe that I can wear now and wear later. And this dress is a great example. I had been eyeing it in a bright pink color for quite sometime, but when it recently went on sale, I ultimately decided to buy it in burgundy because not only can I wear it now, but it will look great layered with leopard, and booties, and jackets and sweaters!
