Green for the Holidays (and a REALLY amazing giveaway!!)

On December 15, 2014December 15, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Happy Monday, lovelies! Today I wanted to share with you another outfit idea for the holiday season. I love red and always tend to gravitate towards it this time of year, but I am here to tell you that green is a fantastic alternative if you are looking to change up your holiday ensembles a bit. I never thought I would wear this skirt outside of the summer months, but paired back to black and leopard, it feels totally appropriate and perfectly festive for the holiday season! In fact, I’m thinking of wearing this exact outfit to an even I have this week!! But I want to know, would you all dare to wear neon green (tulle!) during the winter months???

And be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for a giveaway you don’t want to miss!!!

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Jacket: Blank NYC (best jacket EVER. Also comes in pink, nude, and gray AND it’s under $100!) | Tank: JCrew | Skirt: The Girl That Loves (best tulle skirts-incredibly comfy!), also loving this color and this color, also love this version (under $40!) | Necklace: JCrew | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Ray-Ban | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Leopard Pumps: Nordstrom (sold out), similar, similar

And now for the giveaway…

If you have followed my blog for a while, then you might remember that I used to wear eyelash extensions. But after having worn them for several months, I developed a severe allergic reaction to the glue. And the end result (besides being totally traumatized by the whole ordeal)? Pretty much all of my eyelashes fell out. And it. was. awful. Fortunately for me, it was right around this time that I discovered Younique 3D Fiberlash Mascara. And let me tell you-this stuff is awesome! I am so hooked on it. Far less expensive and time consuming than eyelash extensions, you can control the intensity, and you can wear it with or without your current mascara. People ask me all of the time if I wear eyelash extensions-I am telling you, this stuff is a miracle in two convenient little tubes!

And today (because it’s your lucky day!), I am teaming up with my friend Kim Rosen to give away a set of Younique 3D Fiberlash mascara to one lucky reader (click on the rafflecopter link below)!!! Winner will be announced Tuesday, December 23rd.

Buffalo Plaid (and your guide to Black Friday sales happening NOW!)

On November 26, 2014November 25, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

It’s no secret that I love a great plaid shirt. In fact, I have to limit how many plaid shirts I wear in a week!! They are such an easy go-to in my closet this time of year, it’s hard not to gravitate towards them! So on the eve of Thanksgiving, I thought it was fitting that my 3rd and final outfit idea for you turkey day festivities was a plaid shirt. After all, a bright red buffalo check shirt is the perfect festive look to wear during the holidays-especially when paired back to a pair of favorite leggings, a cozy fur vest, and some killer pumps or boots!

Put A Vest On It

On August 25, 2014August 24, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am never, ever ready for summer to end, but I am always ready for fall fashion! And even though the temps are still relatively warm, fall is definitely starting to creep into the air here in Utah and I can feel myself starting to gravitate towards darker colors, neutrals, denim, leopard, light jackets, and vests (of course)! All of which are super easy key items to start to transition those summer outfits into fall! So if you are ready to get your fall wardrobe going but aren’t quite sure how, try pairing a vest back to your favorite tank and denim…

They have the perfect selection of jewelry, accessories, apparel, and home decor. And not only are their prices fantastic, but they add new items to the site everyday.

I love a great chambray dress. It is the epitome of casual chic, and a perfect (and super easy) piece for summer that also transitions well into Fall! I especially love to style mine back to neutral accessories and gold jewelry and love the extra glam factor that a floppy hat and white bag can add. It feels to me like the prefect ensemble for a Sunday brunch or fun lunch date. Plus, you can score this dress from Old Navy for less than $30. Talk about a no-brainer!

Now onto some exciting news!! If you follow this blog, then you know that I wear my Marrakech ring from KiraKira ALL. THE. TIME!

L’eggs Sweepstakes!

On April 28, 2014April 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Do you guys remember L’eggs when they were sold in the iconic egg packaging? I know I sure do. And because I always thought of them as an ’80’s staple, I was surprised (and excited!) when they contacted me and asked me to be a part of their 40th birthday celebration and re-launch of their limited edition egg packaging. Now to be totally honest, I have always been on the fence when it comes to pantyhose and tights, and always have been. But with the popularity of tights and pantyhose over the last year, I figured why not give them a try. And I have to say-I am SO happy that I did. Not only are L’eggs totally affordable (and easy to find-check your local drug store!), but they are super comfy with just the right amount of control around the tummy and thighs. And with all of these in-between temperatures as we transition into warmer weather, they are the perfect accessory if you are anxious to start wearing all of your spring/summer dresses and skirts (like I am!).

In today’s post, I am wearing the sun-tan shade which gave my winter white legs just the right hint of color and smoothed out all of the unevenness caused by those long winter months of nothing but pants. In fact, when we shot these photos, my hubby didn’t even realize that I was wearing pantyhose. BUT he did tell me that my legs looked great! So be sure to check out L’eggs at your local drug store and go here for your chance to win $1,000 cash and a fabulous trip to Las Vegas! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

First of all…CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Touchstone Crystal giveaway: Sarah Langlois , and Abby Peterson!! Please email me at: abby_doll@hotmail.com so we can work out the details. SO excited for you girls!

And second, I have to say I am grateful to even be getting a blog up today. I had big regional meetings last week at work-which meant a lot of late nights and early mornings-definitely no time for blog photos. And then over the weekend (when I had planned to catch up), I ended up with a terribly sick hubby AND the SLC had a whirlwind of crazy, stormy weather, including SNOW! Let’s just say, the odds were not in my favor. But fortunately, we were able to sneak in one quick outfit right as the sun went down last night. And I have to say, I am loving my pretty red lace dress paired back to a deconstructed denim jacket (with a hoodie no less). You know me, I always love an unexpected mix of casual and dressy…
