Looking to beat the heat this summer? Then try cooling down with frosty shades of metallic grays and silvers. I have to say, with the extra hot temps we’ve been having the SLC lately, these are exactly the types of items I am reaching for.

Happy Wednesday!

FPF: Polka Dots

On June 21, 2013June 21, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Pretty sure I’ve blogged enough about polka dots to give them a deserving spot on my FPF list. Whether it’s a top, a pair of shoes, a bag, a skirt, a dress, or a pair of pants, polka dots are one of those trends that can truly work for everyone. I mean really, how many other patterns are out there with the ability to portray both a youthful and sophisticated feel?

Happy, happy Friday everyone! I am back visiting my old stomping grounds of Bozeman, MT for the weekend and am so looking forward to getting some miles on my bike, checking out some of my old favorite places, and of course, getting to see friends we haven’t seen in far too long.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Get Your Tan On

On May 24, 2013May 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products2 Comments

With Memorial Day weekend upon us, the official start of summer just around the corner, and warm weather here to stay (fingers crossed!), I am ready to bust out the shorts, dresses, and tank tops. But what I am NOT ready to put on parade, is my pasty winter skin. And while you couldn’t pay me to step foot in a tanning bed, I do love the look of a nice bronze glow. Over the years I have tried a lot of different products in order to achieve a natural looking faux tan, but have either hated the results, or the smell. But a couple of years ago I discovered L’Oreal Sublime Glow lotion and I have never looked back. It’s a fantastic product that I use year round, and can’t imagine using anything else. And because I love the lotion so much, I have tried several of the other tanning and bronzing products in this line, but haven’t been super impressed. That is until I recently tried the tanning towels. And let me tell you, they are AH-mazing!! They are super easy to apply, are relatively odorless, and I find when I use them in tandem with my lotion, I am able to achieve that beautiful, natural looking faux tan I have been trying forever to create. Hallelujah!

So if you are looking to try a new tanning product, give these two a whirl. I am pretty sure you won’t be disappointed.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

A Birthday In The Bay

On May 17, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite ProductsLeave a comment

If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably know that last week I celebrated another birthday. And because I also had work meetings scheduled in San Francisco, by default I was able to ring in the start of another year in my very favorite city. J flew in to spend a long weekend with me and we had such a fantastic time filled with so many adventures (a surprise sailing trip for my birthday, lots of incredible food, a 70 mile tandem bike ride through the city to the top of Mt. Tam, tons of exploring, and even a little shopping) that I thought I would use today’s post to share my photos from our trip with all of you-through the lens of my iPhone and Instagram, of course!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I had the privilege of hosting a Stella & Dot trunk show at my home last night. It was such a fun evening filled with amazing friends, a little vino, cupcakes, and lots of pretty, sparkly things. I was so busy playing hostess, that I didn’t get a chance to take any photos, but I wanted to share a few of my favorite things from their summer line with all of you. So if there is something on your Stella & Dot wish list, or if you are not familiar with the brand, please use this link to shop my trunk show or have a look around-so many fabulous things! I know I can’t wait to place my order!!!

FPF: Best Make Up Primers

On March 29, 2013March 29, 2013 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Uncategorized4 Comments

Smashbox Primer | Victoria’s Secret Primer | Mac Prep and Primer | Bare Minerals Neutralizing Primer

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!

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!
