Bandwagon

I’m officially on the bandwagon-the chevron bandwagon, that is. And while I have always loved the print for party decorations, home decor, rugs, throw pillows, napkins, and pretty much anything else I see on Pinterest, I have never been totally wild about the bold print on clothing. Until I saw this cute mini-chevron print blouse at American Eagle, that is. I love the small take on a bold favorite and that it’s the perfect complement to the black and white trend this spring…

And of course, my favorite accent color back to black and white is pink. There is just something about that combo that I love. And what better way to add color to an outfit than with a pair of shoes?

Happy Thursday!

Neon Dream

It sure was a busy weekend for the Doll family here in the SLC. Two birthday celebrations, two barbeques, and one girl’s night out in Park City made for lots of good memories and laughs with friends. And on top of all of the fun , the weather finally decided to cooperate. So to kick off a weekend full of sunshine and celebrations, I thought it was only fitting to break out one of my very favorite color combinations of the season-neon yellow and grey…

I have been on the hunt for a pair of metallic pumps for the last couple of months. But since my guess is this will be a fleeting trend (and I’m trying to save up for sandals!), I wanted to find an affordable option. So I was beyond thrilled when I stumbled upon this pair from Target on sale for only $14.95. And not only were they a fantastic bargain, but they are really comfortable too. Talk about an amzing deal!!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Downtown Abby

Last week marked our big 2014 planning meetings. And while it was fun to discuss our fashion and growth strategies for the upcoming year, I always especially love the excuse to office out of our beautiful, brand new Macy’s in downtown SLC. And so of course, when Friday rolled around, my hubby and I took full advantage and met for drinks at one of our favorite local downtown spots. It was the perfect way to enjoy some gorgeous spring weather and kick off a nice, relaxing weekend after a week full of craziness.

We all know I am obsessed with pink shoes. And this bubblegum pink pair is my current favorite because they are amazingly comfortable. But can we talk about my little bow top for minute? It’s pretty safe to say that I am beyond obsessed with it. The teeny, tiny bows are so darn cute and on top of that, they are velveteen-totally reminds me of when I was a kid. Plus, it was under $15. Can’t beat that!!!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend.

P.S. I am hosting my first Stella & Dot trunk show this week and I am so excited!!! If you are a Utah gal and would like to come, please leave a comment or shoot me an email (abby_doll@hotmail.com) and I will send you the invite. And for those of you not in the SLC, if you are looking to order something sparkly from Stella & Dot, please use the link below! They just released their new summer line along with a gorgeous new handbag lineup. Seriously swoon worthy.

Twirly Girl

I LOVE that circle skirts are back on trend. There is something so fun and completely girly about them. In fact, when I slip one on, it’s all I can do not to twirl around like I’m five years old again…

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. The above is actually what I wore to church and for dinner on Easter Sunday. I always love a good excuse to get dressed up, but I especially love Easter and the reason why we celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. It is always one of my very favorite days of the year. And of course I love Reese’s Peanut Butter eggs. I mean really, why is it that they are so much better than regular Reese’s anyway?

Happy Monday!

Butterfly In the Sky

On March 25, 2013March 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I post a lot of dressy looks on this blog, but today I wanted to share a more casual look with you all. And truth be told, it’s probably a pretty accurate depiction of what I would most likely be wearing if you were to bump into me out running errands on a random weekend…

Instagram Filter: Nashville

I am so enamored with the cute butterfly print on this shirt. It is fun, kitschy, and absolutely perfect for spring. Even if it hasn’t been so spring-like the last few days here in Utah.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Floral Frenzy

On March 21, 2013March 20, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized1 Comment

It turns out that florals aren’t just for old couches and drapes anymore. But rather, they are a spring fashion must. And while the boldness of an all-over floral pant or top might seem a little overwhelming, it is definitely a trend worth trying. My favorite way to tackle this trend? Colorblocked.

Another trend worth trying this spring? Cap toe shoes. A super fun and easy way to spice up an otherwise ordinary outfit.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

My Vest Accessory

If you follow this blog, then you know how obsessed I have been with my denim vest over the span of the last year. And to be totally honest, I don’t see my love affair with denim vests dying out anytime soon. But when I was in H&M recently and spotted this long, lean, surplus vest complete with a little sparkle, I knew my favorite denim version might finally have met its match.

If you haven’t caved and tried the vest trend yet, I highly recommend giving one a whirl. Not only are they fresh and fun, but they a perfect accessory to change up your look without breaking the bank!

Happy Tuesday!

I have to say it was a welcome change that this St. Patty’s Day, I didn’t have to search through my closet in hopes of finding something green to wear. But instead, had to narrow it down from several different options. And in doing so, not only was I reminded why I am so in love with the color of the year, but also that green and cobalt is one of my favorite color combinations. Ever.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a fabulous St. Patty’s day celebration.

Wine Country

In my mind there isn’t much that can top a warm sunny day spent wine tasting with friends in gorgeous Sonoma. And because J decided to join me on a recent business trip to SF, we were afforded the opportunity to do just that. A perfect day filled to the brim with good food, sunshine, beautiful wineries, a stretch limo, lunch at my favorite restaurant, and of course, lots of laughter and memories shared with good friends we don’t get to see often enough…

So I have to make a confession. I didn’t pack anything on my trip to wear to wine country. I made the assumptoin that I would have time to do a little shopping in the city, but ended up being so busy with work, that unfortunately that was not the case. But even though I had to do a little scrambling Saturday morning to put something together, it was a good reminder that a chambray shirt is a perfect (and easy!) choice for just about any occasion.

Spring Has Sprung

On March 11, 2013March 10, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

This weekend felt like spring here in the SLC. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and all of the snow in my yard finally melted. And so of course, inspired by sunshine (and gloriously longer days), I decided it was high time to pull my florals out of their winter storage and put them back into rotation for the spring season…

I love this time of year. It’s always ripe with anticipation and the promise of warmer weather just around the corner. And while I’m sure we’ll still have another snow storm or two here along the Wasatch front, I fully plan to take advantage of this perfect spring weather while it lasts.

Happy Monday!
