Black and White

On January 6, 2015January 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Sometimes there is no better color combo than classic black and white. Especially when paired back to a pop of leopard and a bold lip to add a little dimension. Plus, do you guys love beanies as much as I do? I’m pretty sure I would wear one every day if I could. Not only are they super cute and cozy, but they are also completely practical for this time of year. And when fashion and practicality collide, you can almost always rest assured that I’m a fan!!!

Winter Pastels

On January 5, 2015January 4, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am loving the pastel trend this winter. To me, there is just something so soft and beautiful about wearing colors like lilac during the crisp, white, winter months. And not only are pastels an unexpected (and fun!) choice right now, but they are a nice transition from the bold holiday colors of red and green (not that you can’t still wear those colors now too!!)…

Can you believe the holiday season has come and gone and it’s January again already? To be honest, I’m kind of nursing the post holiday blues. And the fact that it’s Monday certainly doesn’t help matters, does it?

But regardless, cheers to the new year and all of the new adventures it holds! And don’t forget to CLICK HERE to enter for your chance to win a $50 gift card to Bohme Boutique! Winner will be announced on Friday!

I love getting dolled up. And the holiday season presents exactly that opportunity. But living in a state with a cold winter climate, sometimes I feel like I don’t have any coats or jackets that look or feel all that glamorous. So for quite a while, I have been on the hunt for a great (and affordable) faux fur animal print coat-and I am happy to report that I have finally found one (AND that it costs less than $65)!!! Not only is it super cozy (it reminds me of my favorite faux fur throw), but I love the vintage feel of it, and the idea of pairing it back to great heels and a dress for a NYE party, or wearing it with boots, skinny black pants, and a silk top (like I did for a friend’s casual wedding reception over the weekend)…

On another note, can you BELIEVE tomorrow is NYE and that yet another year has come and gone? As cliche as it might sound, I just can’t believe 2014 is already just about over. BUT I always look forward to all of the possibilities that a new year brings. Kind of exciting, don’t you think?

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you so much for stopping by!!!!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

You guys! I have been dying to share these photos with you since the day we got them back from LC Photography. J and I send out a Christmas card every year, and this year I wanted to do a Christmas inspired shoot up in our beloved mountains of Utah. We had never done anything holiday themed before so it was a pretty fun project to work on. Plus, it’s always a bonus to be photographed by the incredibly talented duo that makes up LC Photography AND get some photos with my handsome hubby (who is always such a good sport and incredibly supportive of all of my creative endeavors)!

And so, from our family to yours, Merry, Merry, Christmas….

Photography: LC Photography

My Outfit: Glitter Top: Express | Tulle Skirt: Space46Boutique | Christmas Crown: Miss Stevie Marie | Pumps: BCBG via DSW (under $50 and really comfy!)

J’s Outfit: Buttondown: JCrew | Tie: BarIII | Suit Pants: BarIII | Watch: Michael Kors | Shoes: Allen Edmonds

And because it’s Christmas, LC Photography and I wanted to extend a 20% off discount on their photography services if you book a shoot with them before the end of January! Just mention this blog post and they will hook you up! And trust me, if you are in Utah, you NEED to work with these girls-they are amazing!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!!!

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.

I am all about army green surplus jackets and they always seem to reign supreme in my closet this time of year. But truth be told, this camel color jacket has been my absolute favorite this season! It’s such a refreshing alternative to the ever popular olive-green jacket, and the gold hardware makes it feel extra special. It really is the perfect piece to throw on with jeans for all of those weekend errands and last-minute Christmas shopping!!

Jacket: Tommy Hilfiger via Macy’s (sold out online, but check in store!), LOVE this version for winter, similar, similar | Sweater: Banana Republic | Silk Tunic: Express (40% off! this top is perfect for layering on wearing on it’s low-a must have!!) | Ponte Pants: JCrew (on sale for 50% 0ff!!!) | Necklaces: Gigglosophy, House of Harlow | Sunnies: Karen Walker (less expensive version) | Bag: Michael Kors | Booties: Steven by Steve Madden via DSW

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!
