Creature Comforts

On February 9, 2016February 9, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was just telling a girlfriend of mine last night that when I started blogging, it made me realize what a creature of habit I am. I tend to gravitate towards the same types of items and the same kinds of outfits. So being a blogger has been a great way to force myself out of my comfort zone and try new things. And today’s look is a great example of that. A couple of years ago, I never would have tried an outfit like this. And while it still wouldn’t be my go-to (like yesterday’s outfit!), I love pushing myself to try new trends and new looks. Afterall, that’s what makes fashion fun and exciting, right?

Hope y’all are having a great week!

Personal Favorites

On February 8, 2016February 8, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Whether you know me through the blog, or know me in person, then you probably know that I love vests. I am also a big fan of stripes. So it should come as no surprise that today’s outfit is a typical go-to uniform for me. You know those outfits that just feel comfortable? This is one of those for me. An easy, breezy combo that still feels put together, all while being super comfortable. Perfect for a Monday.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I don’t know about you guys, but I was so stoked to see Payton and the Broncos win the Super Bowl!!! Great way to end the weekend.

Happy Monday!

The “It” Jacket

On February 5, 2016February 4, 2016 By all dolled upIn Uncategorized2 Comments

I don’t know about you guys, but every once in a while I stumble upon a piece that I want to own in every color possible. And this jacket is one of those pieces. I have owned it in the army green color for the past 2 years and I have worn it so much (and received more compliments on it than I can count!), that it has become a tried and true favorite in my wardrobe. So when I found it came it came in a washed black color, I knew it would be a good investment. Plus, it’s under $55. So if you are looking for the perfect jacket (with a little edge) that won’t break the bank, trust me. This is the one.

Happy, happy, happy, happy, Friday friends!

Current Beauty Faves

On February 3, 2016February 2, 2016 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products1 Comment

Happy hump day, lovelies! I wanted to change things up a bit today and do something that I haven’t done in a while-share my current beauty faves! Typically I’m pretty loyal to my tried-and-true products, but over the last couple of months, I’ve stumbled on a few new things that I’ve added to my routine. So I wanted to take a minute and share both the old and the new with all of you. Details, and why I love these products can be found below!

Clockwise from top:

Moroccan Oil: I am obsessed with this stuff. I color my hair and have extensions and it does wonders for both. Since I started using this regularly about a year and a half ago, I have seen a huge change in my hair. Plus, if you live in a dry climate like I do, it will help with static and dryness during the harsh winter months!
Karen Walker Sunglasses c/o Ditto: I am obsessed with sunglasses, so I have absolutely fallen in love with a company called Ditto. They let you rent any designer sunglasses of your choice for just $24/month. There is no contract and you can change them out as often as you want (with free shipping!). Plus, if you use code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout, you can try one month for free!
Urban Decay Naked Smokey Eye Palette: I’ve been super loyal to the original Naked palette for years, but I finally bit the bullet and picked this smokey one up. And I am SO glad that I did! It has great colors in it that I don’t already have, and it’s helped me to be more bold when experimenting with date night looks. But it’s not just for dressing up either! There are amazing neutrals for daytime as well. It really is just a great all around palette and definitely worth every penny!
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Foundation: this is a new product for me. I have been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear Light pretty religiously for over a year. I love the matte finish, that it stays in place all day, and I never get oily. BUT, this winter has been so dry, it started to make my skin look dry and cakey. On the recommendation of another blogger (Mckenna Bleu-check out her blog here), I tried this one. And you know what? I LOVE it! It stays in place all day, I never get oily, and it doesn’t leave my skin looking dry like the Estee Lauder. And even better? It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything on my face. This is probably my favorite out of all of the new products I’ve tried! It’s also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates! I use this powder to set it.
Benefit High Beam Highlighter: I was having dinner with a good friend a few months ago and I couldn’t stop staring at her skin. It looked so radiant! And when I asked her what her secret was, Benefit High Beam was it. So obviously, I immediately purchased some for myself. And the verdict? I am obsessed with it! It’s super easy to apply, gives the most beautifuly radiant finish, and looks great blended using this.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara: I am a tried and true fan of Bare Minerals Lash Domination. But I’ve found that mixing Lash Domination with this mascara gives me both incredible length and volume. Plus, if I finish it off with a little Younique 3D Mascara for special occasions, it looks like I’m wearing false eyelashes! So good!
Rodan + Fields Sunless Tanner: this stuff is the bomb.com. Not only is it super easy to apply (you can even put it on your face!), but it gives you a gorgeous, gradual tan that you can build as much as you want to. When I went to the Bahamas with friends a couple of weeks ago, the weather was too cold to get any sun. But I used this stuff for a little color and everyone talked about what a nice, natural tan I had when I came back! ha! Plus, it doesn’t get streaky or blotchy around the wrists, ankles, or knees when you apply it or when it wears off. This is hands down the best sunless tanner I’ve ever tried.
Butter London Lippy Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon: I am a gloss girl and most lipsticks can drive me nuts. But not these! The color is super vibrant, they wear really well, and are comfortable on the lips. Plus, the lid has a built in sharpener making it the perfect all in one! Ladybird (a fiery red/orange), Primrose Hill Picnic (the perfect bright pink), and Trout Pout (a great bright coral) are my go-to colors.

Let me know if you guys have any questions! Would love to hear if you use any of these products, or what your favorites are! I am always on the lookout to try new things!

Abby

Mellow Yellow

On February 2, 2016February 1, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Contrary to popular belief, pink is my 2nd favorite color. In fact, it’s yellow that has always had my heart. So when I saw this coat, I knew it was perfect for me. Plus, there is nothing better than a candy colored coat to brighten up a dreary winter day. And for all of you out there who don’t like or can’t wear yellow, you’re in luck, because this also comes in pink, teal, black, and winter white. PLUS it’s on sale!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Winter Florals

On February 1, 2016February 1, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Even though it’s the dead of winter, I can’t help but find myself already wishing for spring. So I’ve been slowly starting to incorporate some florals and brights back into my wardrobe. And this Free People top is a new favorite! I have it tied here to make it a little shorter in the front, but it’s a great tunic length and would look perfect (untied) with tights or leggings.

But I’m curious to know, do you guys feel about wearing florals in the winter?

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Can you believe that it’s Monday already again???????

Skirting the Issue

On January 27, 2016January 26, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you have been following my blog for a while, then you might remember that this past summer, I made a promise to push myself out of my comfort zone and wear more dresses. While it was difficult at first, I was so glad I did it and really felt like it pushed me to think outside of the box.

So, I have been trying the same thing this winter. But because of the colder weather, I have found it to be a little more challenging. That is why I have loved this skirt so much. Not only is it a beautiful, thick, flannel material, but it has a nice lining, and is the perfect length for the winter months. So it’s been an ideal piece for me to style when I’m making an effort to wear something other than just jeans or leggings (although it looks great with leggings too! ha!)!

Hope you are all having a great week! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Faux Fur

On January 25, 2016January 20, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love pretty much anything with faux fur during the colder months. And this winter, I am especially loving any faux fur in neutral colors. Particularly winter white. So this jacket had my name written all over it when I saw it on sale at Macy’s a couple of weeks ago. In my opinion, it’s tough to beat a cozy, cute fitting jacket this time of year.

Jacket: Guess (here and here), also love this and this

Top: Lookbook Store c/o

Skinnies: AG Farrah (this is my FAVORITE style denim! and they’re on SALE!)

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Sunnies: Prada c/o Ditto (try them for FREE for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout!)

Bag: Tory Burch (sold out), similar

Pumps: BCBG

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Happy Monday, sweet friends!

Pretty In Pink

On January 21, 2016January 20, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

This coat was a lot different in person than I had anticipated it would be when I ordered it online. I initially thought it was a trench, but was pleasantly surprised with the fact that it wasn’t. It’s actually a cozy felt material and feels more like a layering/completer piece as opposed to a jacket. In fact, it reminds me a lot of this vest that is one of my favorite things to layer with in my closet.

Also, how fab are these pumps? They look so much like the designer version, but are less than $60! AND they’re super comfy and come in a bunch of colors!

Pink Jacket: SheIn c/o (under $30!)

Dress: cabi

Necklace: Banana Republic (on sale!)

Bag: Phillip Lim 3.1 (size medium)

Ring: Kendra Scott, love this one

Sunnies: Ray-ban

Heels: BCBG, similar, also love these

I am SO excited because I am off to warmer weather today for a friend’s Bachelorette party. Be sure to follow along on Snapchat and Instagram: alldolledupbblog (for both) to see where I’m going and to follow along on the adventure!
