Bonjour!

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! 😉

Boots

On December 3, 2013December 3, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have a slight obsession with cognac boots-or more specifically these cognac boots. I wear them more than any other piece of footwear that I own and I am feeling pretty bummed that they are all but about worn out. And because I knew this would most likely be their last season, I have been on the hunt for a replacement pair all fall. And surprisingly I have had absolutely zero luck. Maybe I’ve set my standards too high, but how hard could it possibly be to find a pair in the right shade of cognac with a low heel (wedge or stacked), wide enough to fit my calves, that go with everything, and are neither too dressy, nor too casual? Apparently it’s nearly impossible. Looks like a trip to the cobbler is in my very near future-I need all the help I can get prolonging the life of these babies…

I am obsessed with plaid. It’s all I want to wear, all day everyday. From button downs, to skirts, to pants, to jackets, plaid is at the forefront of my very favorite fall fashion trends. And one way to wear it that I am especially loving? Back to leather and lace. Duh!

Happy Halloween!

In honor of Halloween, today’s outfit post is brought to you by the colors orange and black. And while it might seem like a taboo combo, or at the very least a little tough to wrangle, I promise you can wear black and orange together without looking like you are dressing up for Halloween-or in support of your favorite team. The best bet? Stay away from a true orange. Instead, opt for shades of mandarin (like my outfit below), corals, or neon. All look fantastic with black and can be worn together anytime of the year…

Wishing you all a safe and wonderful Halloween.

Camo Pants

On October 30, 2013October 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

As I’ve mentioned before in a few posts, I am all over the camo trend right now. And when I spotted these pants at the Gap, I knew I had to have them for the Fall season. But apparently so did plenty of other people, because they sold out in my size almost immediately (they also sold out when they had a similar version in Spring). So like the patient fashionista that I am, I waited. And guess what? I ended up finding them in my size on the clearance rack just a couple of weeks ago for a steal of a price. Talk about a stroke of good luck. Don’t you just love happy endings like that?

First of all, I just want to thank you all for the outpouring of love and support yesterday! I have been so excited to share this project with all of you and the response has far exceeded what I had hoped for. So THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart.

Today, I wanted to share the details of my 2nd outfit with you. Truth be told, I had done a shoot with another outfit but when it was time to submit the photos, I just didn’t feel right about it. And I can’t tell you how glad I am that I trusted my gut and opted for one more photo-op with my favorite vest. Because it was by far and away, everyone’s favorite look of the three…

Thank you all so much again for the love and support yesterday, and for following along with me on all of my fashion adventures. I can’t tell you what it means and I appreciate you all so much!

Perfect Harmony

On September 9, 2013September 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am loving the sneak peeks I am getting through social media from all of the happenings in NYC for Fashion Week. And I have to say that one trend I am happy to see will be continuing into the Spring 2014 season is black and white. In my opinion, no other color combo creates such perfect harmony while being so chic and effortless at the same time. Plus it creates the ideal canvas to add a pop of color, or a pretty metallic.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Ours was packed with fun events-so of course it went by way too fast. But fortunately, we’ve got a lot of fun things on the horizon to look forward to, including a mini Vegas vacay and a trip back to Nashville for my 10 year Vanderbilt reunion. And believe me, I’m already planning my outfits for both trips and can’t wait to share them with all of you!

Thanks for stopping by!

Foiled

I love silver. And metallics. And sparkles. In fact, when I was in high school, my girlfriends and I loved the Spice Girls so much that we each had our own Spice Girl name. And I was Sparkle Spice. Go figure. So needless to say, I am loving the sequin and sparkle t-shirt trend this season. Especially when paired back to destroyed jeans and other accessories of a like metallic, for a sparkly, yet monochromatic look…

So I’ve got a question. What do you all think of my silver Michael Kors bag? I got it for a steal at Macy’s, but am on the fence as to whether or not it’s a keeper. Would love to know if you guys think I should love it or leave it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Graphic

On August 26, 2013August 25, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am really into graphic tees right now. Like, really into them. I love the idea of throwing on a tee-shirt back to a ripped up pair of jeans and then adding fancy heels and accessories to dress up the look. I guess maybe it makes me a feel a little rock and roll. Plus, it’s a great way to be super comfy while looking put together at the same time.

So I have to say, as much as I love graphic tee’s, I do find it a little difficult to find a good one. It seems to me that more often than not, the sayings on them tend to be a little young, or too cliché for me to want to broadcast on my body. So if you are on the hunt for one (and you should be!) the best luck I’ve had in finding cute, age appropriate graphic tee’s is at JCrew, JCrew Factory, American Eagle, and TJMaxx.

Hope you all had an amazing weekend. Can you believe that it’s almost Labor Day? I know that I sure can’t.
