Sequin Peplum

On April 7, 2014April 29, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

I knew the second I saw this top in person that I had to have it. I had seen it on the Banana Republic website, but didn’t realize just how gorgeous it was until I saw it in the store. This top is absolutely the prettiest mix of a sequined floral print, with just a touch of neon piping. And I have to say, it is one of those extra special pieces that only seem to come around every once in a while. And even though sometimes they take a little seeking out, every girl should have a couple of these extra special pieces in her wardrobe!

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…

Same Same

Leopard on leopard. What do y’all think? Yay or nay? I think yay. I am obviously a huge fan of print mixing, but typically gravitate towards pairing different patterns together (florals and stripes, stripes and leopard, polka dots and stripes, etc.). And while I believe it’s perfectly acceptable to mix two of the same print together, it definitely works best if you follow a couple of rules. The first is that the patterns are in the same or a complimentary color palette. And the second is that the size of the two different prints are contrasting. Pretty easy, don’t you think?

So, I almost didn’t have any blog photos to share with you guys this week. For once, I was actually ahead of the game and shot some pics over the weekend, but when I went to import them into Lightroom, I received a dreaded error that my SD card was corrupted. I tried everything to retrieve the photos, but no luck. So thank goodness for my tech savvy hubby who was able to save the day for me! And so, in today’s outfit, it should be noted that the message on my new favorite graphic tee is not just dedicated to my love for the combination of neon yellow, and blue, but also, specifically to him. Je t’aime (I love you)…

Happy Spring!

In honor of the first day of Spring yesterday, it seemed fitting to break out my favorite floral wedges and a little hot pink. And while the weather here was so perfect and exactly as the first day of spring should be, I can’t help but find myself wishing for summer. Is that crazy? Or is there anyone else out there that feels the same way?

My BF

I love boyfriend jeans. They are so comfy, and casual, but also look fantastic dressed up back to heels and a cute top. In fact, I think it’s one of the spring trends that everyone should invest in. But be forewarned, it might take some trying on to find the perfect pair that work for your body type. In fact, it took me quite a while to find a pair that were both flattering and comfy-but they were definitely well worth the effort!

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Besides boyfriend jeans, I also can’t seem to get enough these nude pumps. They are a fantastic staple piece for any closet and go with just about anything. So get ready, because you will probably be seeing them on the blog a lot.

Hope you are all having a good week!

The Blues

On March 14, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I know that for most, blue is a favorite or go-to color. But for me, it’s never been a super common hue in my wardrobe (outside of my denim). That is until this season. For some reason, as of late, I have been craving all things and all shades of blue. From shoes, to bags, to clothes, I think it’s pretty safe to say that this spring, I’ve definitely got the blues…

Happy, happy Friday to all of you! I hope that you all have something fun planned this weekend.

Down On the Farm

On March 12, 2014March 11, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Our weather has been a little crazy the past few days (nice one minute, then raining, or snowing the next!), so between that, and our busy schedules, it’s been a little hard to coordinate for blog photos this week. So yesterday after work, J and I decided to meet at a beautiful historic farm pretty close to our house. And even though it was freezing cold while we were shooting, I loved the location and can’t wait to shoot more photos there-even if we did get chased down by some whopping big snow geese!

And do you know what else I am loving? The simplicity of today’s outfit. Black and white is all the rage this season, and I love it paired back to simple chambray, nude pumps, and a bold lip. Another one of those looks that is so easy to put together, but makes you looked you really put some effort in!

Minted

If you didn’t add anything in the shade of mint to your Spring/Summer wardrobe last year, then it should be at the top of your list this season. I know I for one, am happy to see that it’s still going strong this Spring. It is such a beautiful, fresh hue, and looks fantastic back to so many different accent colors, skin tones, and pretty much every single hair color out there. Mint really is the perfect complement to the warmer weather we all are either anxiously anticipating, or are already lucky enough to be enjoying…

Plaid Top: JCrew (old-this season’s colors here), similar, similar | Mint Peplum: Express (old), similar, similar | Black skinnies: Gap | Necklace: JCrew (sold out) similar | Watch: Michael Kors | Bag: Michael Kors Studded Selma, LOVE this color-blocked version | Sunnies: Ray-ban | Pumps: Michael Kors (old), LOVING these and these (20% off with code SAVE!)

I also just have to comment on how much I am LOVING my mirrored Ray-bans. They are such a fun purchase and I love how you can dress them up or dress them down. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to add a new pair of shades to your spring ensembles!

Thanks for stopping by!

Panama

On March 10, 2014March 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love a good hat. And while I have been really into fedora’s the last couple of years, I think that this year, the Panama hat might just be my new favorite. But since I am a firm believer that a gal can never have too many hats in her wardrobe, there will be plenty of room for both in mine this season. Not only are hats an ideal statement piece, but they are the perfect secret weapon for combating those less than stellar hair days…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. The weather here has been so amazing (it was 67 on Sunday!!) that I officially have spring fever. And even though I hope to sneak in a few more days on the slopes, I say bring on the warm weather!

Happy Monday!
