Neon Dream

It sure was a busy weekend for the Doll family here in the SLC. Two birthday celebrations, two barbeques, and one girl’s night out in Park City made for lots of good memories and laughs with friends. And on top of all of the fun , the weather finally decided to cooperate. So to kick off a weekend full of sunshine and celebrations, I thought it was only fitting to break out one of my very favorite color combinations of the season-neon yellow and grey…

I have been on the hunt for a pair of metallic pumps for the last couple of months. But since my guess is this will be a fleeting trend (and I’m trying to save up for sandals!), I wanted to find an affordable option. So I was beyond thrilled when I stumbled upon this pair from Target on sale for only $14.95. And not only were they a fantastic bargain, but they are really comfortable too. Talk about an amzing deal!!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Two In One

Today I want to share one of my favorite tricks with you. And that my friends, is wearing a dress as a skirt. It’s such a simple and fun way to double your wardrobe by creating multiple looks with one item-plus it’s also a great money saver. I chose to wear a knotted t-shirt over my dress in this post, but button downs are also an easy option for layering (see here)…

I am LOVING the cap toe trend this season. And this particular nude and silver pair is definitely one of my favorites. Not only are they are a great staple that goes with just about everything, but the pop of metallic takes them up a notch making them not just a great neutral, but fun too! And fun is definitely important when it comes to shoes!!!

Happy hump day!

Citrus Punch

I would consider an outfit like the below to be my go-to look-a pretty button down, skinny jeans, a comfy pair of pumps, and some super fun accessories. In fact, this is the type of outfit that I constantly find myself gravitating towards-both in dressy (like this one) and casual versions. I guess I could call it my All Dolled Up uniform…

Instagram Filter: Nashville

If you are looking for a perfect fitting button down that comes in a variety of colors, in a gorgeous floaty material, then the Express Portofino shirt is for you. I am beyond obsessed with not only the fit and fabric of this lovely shirt, but also with the vast array of drool worthy colors that it’s offered-definitely something for everyone.

Hope your week is off to a good start. Thanks for reading!

Sunshine On My Shoulder

On April 22, 2013April 21, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

It finally happened this weekend-the sun came out. We have had such a cold spring here in the SLC, it really feels like it has been forever since that’ s happened. Between all of the rain, and snow, and cold we have been having, I couldn’t have been happier that big, beautiful, ball of fire in the sky finally decided to shine down us. And even though it was a little chilly, it still seemed appropriate to wear a dress for the occasion…

Instagram Filter: Valencia

There are two items that I am wearing in this outfit that are absolute staples in my wardrobe. And on top of that, they are two things that I think every gal should own. The first is a great jean jacket. Perfection to throw on in the spring time over dresses or sleeveless tops when the weather is still a touch chilly, and also ideal for cool summer nights. And then of course, my tried and true favorite cognac pumps. Even though they are heels, the neutral color makes them feel a touch more casual, the color goes with everything, and the heel height on this particular pair lets me walk around all day in long in them. So if you are looking to purchase a couple of staples this spring, these are both items that should definitely be considered!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Leather and Lace

On April 17, 2013April 16, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

There is just something about the combination of leather and lace. It’s tough, yet sweet, rock and roll, yet sophisticated. Really, I could go on. And while it’s a pairing that works for a multitude of occasions, I have to say it feels pretty darn perfect for a cool, rainy day…

Inspiration Station

On April 16, 2013April 15, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized4 Comments

Often times when I put together an outfit, it’s because I am inspired by a pair of shoes, a handbag, an image I’ve seen, or in this case, a necklace. I am loving statement necklaces this spring, and this one is one of my favorites. I love the pretty flowers, chain length, and the unexpected and unique combination of mint and neon yellow. So much so in fact, that an entire outfit came to fruition because of it…

I just wanted to take a minute and send my love to Boston. I feel so heartbroken by the events that transpired yesterday and can’t even begin to imagine the hurt and the devastation that the victims and their families are feeling right now. And while I wish I had more to offer, I hope they know they have my support and prayers.

God bless you all today and in the days to come.

Downtown Abby

On April 15, 2013April 14, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Last week marked our big 2014 planning meetings. And while it was fun to discuss our fashion and growth strategies for the upcoming year, I always especially love the excuse to office out of our beautiful, brand new Macy’s in downtown SLC. And so of course, when Friday rolled around, my hubby and I took full advantage and met for drinks at one of our favorite local downtown spots. It was the perfect way to enjoy some gorgeous spring weather and kick off a nice, relaxing weekend after a week full of craziness.

We all know I am obsessed with pink shoes. And this bubblegum pink pair is my current favorite because they are amazingly comfortable. But can we talk about my little bow top for minute? It’s pretty safe to say that I am beyond obsessed with it. The teeny, tiny bows are so darn cute and on top of that, they are velveteen-totally reminds me of when I was a kid. Plus, it was under $15. Can’t beat that!!!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend.

P.S. I am hosting my first Stella & Dot trunk show this week and I am so excited!!! If you are a Utah gal and would like to come, please leave a comment or shoot me an email (abby_doll@hotmail.com) and I will send you the invite. And for those of you not in the SLC, if you are looking to order something sparkly from Stella & Dot, please use the link below! They just released their new summer line along with a gorgeous new handbag lineup. Seriously swoon worthy.

Arm Candy

On April 11, 2013April 10, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

I love me some arm candy, or an arm party, or a little wrist bling-whatever you want to call it. It’s such a fun (and affordable!) way to change up an outfit. And while of course anything goes, I am definitely finding myself gravitating towards the mix of girly and edgy. Specifically, bows and spikes paired together in perfect harmony. I mean really, where else can you get away with a combination like that?
