Cardi

On May 31, 2016May 31, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I tend to gravitate towards denim jackets when I’m looking for a layering piece to wear over a dress. But this spring, I have been starting to reach towards cardigans more often. And I have to say, I am loving the look and the ease of pairing a cardigan with a dress. A longer cardi is also a great option to wear over a dress that borders on the shorter side for a little added coverage.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with your families and friends!

xoxo,

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!

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

Summer Chambray

On July 9, 2015July 8, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

We have had a little break from the heat wave here in the SLC the past few days, which prompted me to break out my favorite lightweight summer chambray shirt. I am a fan of chambray no matter the season, but one of my favorite ways to wear it is back to a full skirt. And it was the perfect choice for the weather this week. Especially because it gave me an excuse to wear my favorite wedges. I seriously can’t get enough of these shoes! If you are looking for a new pair of wedges this summer, I highly recommend them (linked below). They also come in black and white!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week! I can’t tell you how HAPPY I am that it is Thursday!!! The weekend is near, my friends!!!

Neon

I love a good pop of neon. And this cute top from last summer is still one of my favorite things in my closet. It’s just one of those items that looks great with just about everything-denim, shorts, skirts-you name it! You can also see how I styled it last summer, here!

Hope you guys are all having a fantastic week! I have to say, I am so looking forward to next week and the 4th of July, that this week feels like it is just crawling by! But at least we’ve hit the half way mark! Happy hump day, girlfriends!

If you haven’t jumped on the graphic tee bandwagon yet, then you are seriously missing out! I mean seriously, how awesome is it that it is perfectly fashionably acceptable to rock a super-comfy tee with your favorite skirt or heels? This is one trend I’m hoping will stick around for a while! Don’t you just love it when fashion and comfort collide?

And congrats to CINDY AITON! You are the lucky winner of the KiraKira Marrakech Ring! Please send me an email at: abby_doll@hotmail.com so we can work out the details. SO excited for you!

On a side note, how cute is this bandage striped skirt from Very Jane? Seriously, if you haven’t checked out their site yet, you need too. So many cute items on their site for a steal of a price!

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

Flower Power

On August 12, 2014August 12, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t normally find myself gravitating towards floral prints. But when I saw this top at JCrew (it’s on clearance right now, by the way), I think I fell in love a little. It’s such an easy, breezy piece for summer and a perfect match back to shorts. But I’m also envisioning styling it back to denim and taking it into the early fall season layered with a leather or jean jacket. And while I’m certainly not ready for the warmer months to end, it’s definitely time to start strategizing how to take your summer wardrobe into fall!

Top: JCrew (on sale!) | Shorts: JCrew (on sale for under $30!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot (last season), similar, similar | Cuffs: Nordstrom, Forever21 (old), similar, LOVE this one | Ring: KiraKira | Sunnies: Karen Walker, similar (under$10!) | Bag: Michael Kors Selma (last season), LOVE this and this (both on sale!) | Heels: Jessica Simpson (soooo comfy and they’re on sale!)

Can you believe we are already starting to talk about how to transition our summer wardrobes into Fall? I sure wish I could slow down time a bit-or even better yet, extend summer for a couple of months!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Secret Garden

Well, despite my best intentions last week, I just could not get it together to get any content up on the blog. I thought I would have plenty of time to snap and share outfit photos, but we were so busy boating, rafting, fishing, hitting Glacier National Park, and enjoying family and friends, that there just wasn’t a lot of downtime. So my apologies for the lack of posts!

Fortunately, J and I did manage to snap off a few outfit shots on the last night of our trip at my mom and dad’s house-including these photos taken in my mom’s GORGEOUS garden. My parent’s yard is stunning and I wish I could take blog photos there all the time! In fact, it was in this very garden that I took some of my senior pictures! Crazy to think of how long ago that was!

Tank: JCrew (on sale for under $15!-LOVE these tanks) | Skirt: JCrew (on sale for UNDER $25 with code -this skirt is awesome!), Factory Version (also on sale!) | Necklace: Raven and Lily (be sure to check them out-fantastic fair trade empowering women!) | Cuff: Raven and Lily (runs large) | Ring: KiraKira | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Sunnies: Karen Walker, similar version (under $10!) | Heels: INC (DYING over the new leopard version!)

Hope you all had a wonderful week last week and a wonderful weekend. Can you believe it’s August already? I know I can’t. Too bad there isn’t a way to just slow down summer a bit. I hate that it goes so fast!

Happy Monday!

Casual

On July 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

J and I are officially on vacation this week. Hooray! And because we are road tripping from Utah to Montana, and will be spending our time on the water, in Glacier National Park, biking, and hanging with family and friends, my attire for the week is going to be pretty casual. In fact, most days you will probably find me in something pretty similar to today’s outfit: a comfy worn-in tee, destroyed denim shorts, casual wedges, minimal makeup and jewelry, and less than styled hair. And so today, I thought I’d show you a glimpse of the “everyday” me and hopefully provide some inspiration for what to wear in your real, everyday summer casual life!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We took these photos last night after a fun float trip down the Blackfoot River at my in-laws house in Missoula, Montana. Don’t they have a GORGEOUS view?

Happy Monday!

I love leopard. And while I tend to gravitate towards wearing it more often during the cooler months-it is perfectly acceptable during the summer time too. Especially when paired back to a bright lip and fun accessories. So if your leopard prints are hanging out in the back of your closet this summer, maybe it’s time to pull them out, dust them off, and give them some summer love!

Mellow Yellow

On July 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

As promised, I wanted to show you all my fave JCrew dress without the vest (see the post of it with the vest here), for a little more dressed up version of this look. Also, it should be noted that I am really loving neon yellow right now. In fact, it’s kind of to the point where I feel like I just might need an intervention. To me, neon yellow is just like sunshine, only kicked up a notch. But I want to know what you guys think! Are you loving this color as much as I am this summer? And which look do you prefer? With or without the vest?
