TGIF

On January 9, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how happy I am that it is Friday! Why does the first full week of the year always seem to go by so slowly? Just another one of life’s many mysteries, I guess! Anyway, today I wanted to share a super casual outfit with you all that is one of my go-to looks. As much as I love color, I am obsessed with gray and love it paired with white-especially when you throw in a pop of cognac. I don’t know if it’s the dreariness of January or the post holiday blues, but this is a combo I’ve been reaching for all week. And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to see if you won the $50 Bohme Boutique giveaway!

Sweater: Super Dry via TJMaxx, similar, LOVE this one (on sale for $11.99!) | T-Shirt: H&M (old), this is my favorite tee EVER | Denim: 7 for all mankind | Necklace: Raven + Lily (fair trade, AND it’s on sale!) | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Anne Klein via DSW (SO comfy and I’m obsessed with the cute little tassels!)

And the lucky winner of the $50 Bohme Boutique Giftcard is:

NICKI JOSEPH

Be on the lookout for an email from me or the ladies at Bohme to coordinate!

Happy weekend sweet friends!!!!

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)…

Instagram Filter: Amaro

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!!!!

P.S. CONGRATS to Mary Happymommy! You are the LUCKY WINNER of the Fiberlash 3D Mascara giveaway! Be on the lookout for an email from me or Kim with the details!!! You are going to LOVE this stuff!!!!

December Rain

On December 17, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

We have had an unusually warm and dry winter here in the SLC thus far. So when the rain and sleet started coming down this past weekend, I was actually a little thrilled because I am hoping for a white Christmas (duh!), but also a little bummed because rain and blog photos usually don’t mix. But we managed to take cover and get these shots done. And guess what? I’m rocking green again (in a little different shade than Monday’s post) for the holiday season! This outfit is an easy one to put together and perfect for a holiday party-especially when paired back a red lip!

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

And one thing all of my outfits ideas have in common this week? COMFORT!!! While I am all for being stylish on any given day, to me, comfort is key on Thanksgiving!

This week I want to show you guys three different looks to wear for your Thanksgiving festivities. Whether your dinner is a casual affair, or a dressier event, this weeks posts will hopefully provide some inspiration to help you dress for any Thanksgiving occasion! And today, I wanted to start with a super comfy, casual look (similar to what I will be wearing for our Thanksgiving feast!). I mean really, what could be better than pairing your favorite leggings with a comfy tunic and over-the-knee boots? A look as comfy as pajamas, but totally appropriate for any holiday meal.

I have been using R+F (Rodan + Fields-the same doctors who created Proactive!) for about 4 months, and my skin has never looked or felt so good. A few months ago, I would never have considered sharing a no-makeup selfie (let alone 2!) with all of you, but now that I am using R+F, I feel completely confident au naturale, and I wanted to show you guys not only how great my skin looked after just one month of use of this product, but how much better my skin looks even now!

Layers

We have had such a mild fall here in the SLC, that I almost forgot how brutal it can be to have to take blog photos during the winter months. But boy, was I sure reminded in a hurry when we shot these photos on Saturday. I guess it’s time to break out the winter coats, and pile on the layers. And speaking of layers? Surplus vests over plaid and flannels is still a combo at the top of my list this season…

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Flannel: Express (the shoulders have sequins!! I LOVE this shirt!), non-sequin version here | Vest: H&M (old), similar | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), similar, LOVE this one | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Clutch: Michael Kors | Booties: INC (most comfortable and cutest booties EVER!)
