Fashion Ideas – All Dolled Up

If you haven’t jumped on the graphic tee bandwagon yet, then you are seriously missing out! I mean seriously, how awesome is it that it is perfectly fashionably acceptable to rock a super-comfy tee with your favorite skirt or heels? This is one trend I’m hoping will stick around for a while! Don’t you just love it when fashion and comfort collide?

And congrats to CINDY AITON! You are the lucky winner of the KiraKira Marrakech Ring! Please send me an email at: abby_doll@hotmail.com so we can work out the details. SO excited for you!

On a side note, how cute is this bandage striped skirt from Very Jane? Seriously, if you haven’t checked out their site yet, you need too. So many cute items on their site for a steal of a price!

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

I am pretty sure that yesterday was the first Monday that I haven’t shared a blog post since I launched All Dolled Up. And if you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should: alldolledupblog), then you know I have been in Boulder cheering on my hubby at Cyclorcross Nationals. And while we had a really fun weekend, horrible roads plus a sick husband on the drive home meant having to unexpectedly stay the night in a hotel in the middle-of-nowhere Wyoming. So my apologies for missing yesterday!

But now that I am back, I wanted to share with you an amazing company called Raven + Lily. I love to shop fair trade and have shared quite a few fair trade finds and companies on the blog in the past, and so I thought it was important to share the ah-mazingness of Raven + Lily with all of you. Raven + Lily is a company founded by two women who wanted to use fashion and ethical design as a “a platform to utilize those passions to alleviate poverty among women”. The necklace I am wearing in today’s post is a favorite of mine from their Ethiopian Collection and was created by HIV positive women from handmade beads made of melted bullet casings from previous war conflicts. Talk about a powerful statement necklace. You can read more about Raven + Lily here, and you can shop their incredibly gorgeous collection here, including designs from Ethiopia, Cambodia, and India. When we are so blessed to live in this great country, and live the lives that we do, I think it’s incredibly important to give back when we can and support companies that empower women around the globe…
