FPF: Best Make Up Primers

While it might seem like just another added expense, I assure you that a makeup primer is an essential step to your beauty routine. Not only do primers help to hide fine lines and wrinkles, creating a silky, smooth canvas to apply your make up to, but because they drastically improve the application and look of your make up, you will find that you need to apply less make up. Particularly if you use a neutralizing version (my favorite!) which helps to reduce the appearance of any redness, spots, or blemishes. An added bonus? They also help to make your makeup last longer throughout the day.

Happy weekend!

Tassel Ho!

On March 27, 2013March 26, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

I love a good tassel necklace. Maybe it’s because I’m from Montana and they remind me of a (fashionable) bolo tie, or maybe it’s just because they feel so new and different this season. Either way, a tassel necklace is an easy piece for anyone to wear and something simple (and inexpensive) everyone should add to their wardrobe this spring!

Editing these photos only served to make me acutely aware of how anxious I am for the arrival of spring and summer. Not only am I looking forward to warmer temps, sunshine, longer days, and fewer layers, but a little color on my pale skin definitely won’t hurt either!

Happy Wednesday!

Baubles and Dots

There are so many fun trends in fashion right now, that it’s hard to say just which one is my favorite. But one particular trend I am loving experimenting with is layering multiple necklaces. From chains, to sparkles, to pops of neon-pretty much anything goes. And like many of my favorite things in life, the more the merrier!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I have some exciting things coming in the next couple of weeks that I can’t wait to share with you all-including a pretty awesome giveaway. So be sure and check back often!

Butterfly In the Sky

On March 25, 2013March 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I post a lot of dressy looks on this blog, but today I wanted to share a more casual look with you all. And truth be told, it’s probably a pretty accurate depiction of what I would most likely be wearing if you were to bump into me out running errands on a random weekend…

Instagram Filter: Nashville

I am so enamored with the cute butterfly print on this shirt. It is fun, kitschy, and absolutely perfect for spring. Even if it hasn’t been so spring-like the last few days here in Utah.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Floral Frenzy

On March 21, 2013March 20, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

It turns out that florals aren’t just for old couches and drapes anymore. But rather, they are a spring fashion must. And while the boldness of an all-over floral pant or top might seem a little overwhelming, it is definitely a trend worth trying. My favorite way to tackle this trend? Colorblocked.

Another trend worth trying this spring? Cap toe shoes. A super fun and easy way to spice up an otherwise ordinary outfit.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

My Vest Accessory

On March 19, 2013March 18, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized3 Comments

If you follow this blog, then you know how obsessed I have been with my denim vest over the span of the last year. And to be totally honest, I don’t see my love affair with denim vests dying out anytime soon. But when I was in H&M recently and spotted this long, lean, surplus vest complete with a little sparkle, I knew my favorite denim version might finally have met its match.

If you haven’t caved and tried the vest trend yet, I highly recommend giving one a whirl. Not only are they fresh and fun, but they a perfect accessory to change up your look without breaking the bank!

Happy Tuesday!

I have to say it was a welcome change that this St. Patty’s Day, I didn’t have to search through my closet in hopes of finding something green to wear. But instead, had to narrow it down from several different options. And in doing so, not only was I reminded why I am so in love with the color of the year, but also that green and cobalt is one of my favorite color combinations. Ever.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a fabulous St. Patty’s day celebration.

Happy Monday!

FPF: All Things Yellow

On March 15, 2013March 15, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products1 Comment

Instead of a favorite product, I wanted to share my favorite color with all of you today. And yup, you guessed it. Yellow is my absolute favorite color in the whole world. So you can only imagine how thrilled I am that it is one of the colors of the season. And since this is definitely not something that happens very often, I intend to take full advantage. So in honor of my adoration for the color of sunshine, I thought I would share with you my current wish list of all things yellow!

Happy Friday!

80’s Accent

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. I love neon. And despite being raised in the 80’s, I am still working on getting my neon fix. But instead of layering multiple neons together, I am loving it as an accent, especially when paired back to unexpected neutrals!

Instagram Filter: Mayfair

Another trend that I am loving right now is the embellished sweatshirt. Really, how fun that we have the option to be totally and completely comfortable while still adding a touch of sparkle!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week. Thanks for reading!

Wine Country

On March 12, 2013March 11, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

In my mind there isn’t much that can top a warm sunny day spent wine tasting with friends in gorgeous Sonoma. And because J decided to join me on a recent business trip to SF, we were afforded the opportunity to do just that. A perfect day filled to the brim with good food, sunshine, beautiful wineries, a stretch limo, lunch at my favorite restaurant, and of course, lots of laughter and memories shared with good friends we don’t get to see often enough…

So I have to make a confession. I didn’t pack anything on my trip to wear to wine country. I made the assumptoin that I would have time to do a little shopping in the city, but ended up being so busy with work, that unfortunately that was not the case. But even though I had to do a little scrambling Saturday morning to put something together, it was a good reminder that a chambray shirt is a perfect (and easy!) choice for just about any occasion.
