Cupcake

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

I think it might be safe to say that I’ve never met a stripe I haven’t liked. And this cute little striped cupcake skirt from H&M has been an obvious favorite in my closet. Like leopard, stripes can be used as a neutral-particularly when they are black and white. So looking for pieces like this to add to your closet will give you a lot of different options for creating outfits with items you already own!

I am a huge fan of pink, but it’s the color yellow that will always be number one in my book. So when I saw that my favorite shirt comes in a brilliant shade of yellow for Spring, it was a total no-brainer for me. And while I dressed it down today with my favorite military vest, I am already scheming up more ways to wear this fabulous shirt! Don’t love yellow? Don’t worry. This blouse comes in a multitude of colors and is the perfect top to add to your closet for work OR play!

Hope y’all are having a great week!

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!!!

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.

Good luck and happy Monday!!!!!!

Buffalo Plaid (and your guide to Black Friday sales happening NOW!)

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!

I love a great heart print sweater or sweatshirt-kind of takes me back to being a kid in the ’80’s! But a great print is always a super easy way to dress up an otherwise basic outfit. And who doesn’t love a great pop of cobalt blue? Blue is one of the colors this season and I am absolutely loving it!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It was freezing here in the SLC, so we ate lots of comfort food and warmed up in the hot tub! But the cooler weather definitely got me in the holiday spirit and has left me feeling excited! I love all of the anticipation of this time of year!

Happy Monday!

Plaid About You

On September 29, 2014September 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

One of my favorite things about Fall fashion? PLAID! And now that the temps are finally starting to cool off a little in the SLC, I am happy to start rocking all of my favorite button downs again. This shirt was a staple in my closet last Fall, and it’s already well on its way to being a staple piece again this season. Not only does it bode well with denim, but it also looks great dressed up with a pop of leopard!

Plaid Shirt: JCrew (last year) very similar, LOVE this and this | Skirt: JCrew (on sale for under $30!), factory version (looks identical and also on sale) | Necklaces: Love Always Couture, Jeweliq (also love this and this) | Bracelets: Stella & Dot (here and here), JCrew | Watch: Michael Kors | Clutch: Michael Kors (sold out), similar, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: Nordstrom

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! Our was full of rain, but it finally feels like Fall here in the SLC! And that has me feeling just a little bit excited!

Happy Monday!

I am guessing if you follow this blog regularly, then it should come as no surprise that a t-shirt, ripped skinnies, and a great pair of pumps is my go-too outfit. It’s such an easy combo and works perfectly for so many different types of events and outings. And while I am fond of this outfit all year round, I especially love it in the Fall season when I can incorporate another one of my very favorite items-a classic moto jacket!

Cheers to the weekend, sweet friends!

Army Green

On September 22, 2014September 21, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve got a thing for army green-no matter the season. But every year when Fall arrives, it seems to be on with a vengeance in my wardrobe. Especially if I can wear it with a little leopard. And while I would normally gravitate towards styling this outfit with denim, I wanted to give one of my favorite summer skirts one final hurrah for the season. And even though the airy gauze and tulle material of this skirt with it’s delicate floral embroidery lends itself incredibly well to warmer weather, I am pleasantly surprised how a little army green and a pop of leopard make it feel perfectly acceptable for the fall season. And you should see it with a leather jacket!! Maybe I won’t be putting this one away just yet…

Instagram Filter: Mayfair

Jacket: Charlotte Russe (old), LOVE this, similar, similar | T-Shirt: Victoria’s Secret Pink (best tee’s ever) | Skirt: Merle Norman Draper Boutique c/o, similar, similar | Necklaces: Brass Monkey (local boutique), Love Always Couture | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker Number One | Clutch: Michael Kors(last season), this season’s version | Pumps: Nordstrom, LOVE these

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Happy Fall!!!

Salt Lake Magazine Feature

On September 19, 2014September 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I was beyond thrilled when the sweet Fashion Editor from Salt Lake Magazine contacted me and asked if I would sit down with her for an interview about my blog and career in the fashion industry for their September/October issue. And as you can imagine, of course I said yes! What an honor to be able to talk about All Dolled Up and work with some of the amazing (and talented!) people behind the glossy publication!

And so today, I wanted to share with you the looks I styled for the photo shoot. I had so much fun coming up with Fall inspired outfits for this project (even though it was a sweltering 100 degrees the day we shot!), and it was the perfect excuse to finally buy the tulle skirt from Space 46 Boutique that I had been eyeing for months. And let me tell you, every girl should own a tulle skirt!

Outfit #2: Sweater: Express (old), similar, LOVE this | Tulle Skirt: Space 46 Boutique (so in love with EVERY tulle skirt on this site!) | Necklaces: Stella & Dot, Dillards (old), identical | Clutch: Michael Kors(old), similar | Heels: Ivanka Trump (last season), LOVING these

You can check out the feature and read the article about All Dolled Up here. And if you are in the SLC area, be sure to pick up a copy! The issue is on newsstands now through the end of October!

Happy Friday everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

Shades Of Gray

On September 4, 2014September 3, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have been on the hunt for a cute pair of gray jeans for a while now. So I was pretty excited when I found these cuffed Joe’s skinnies on sale for a major steal at Macy’s during the holiday weekend! Gray is a great alternative to your typical blue jeans, it’s an easy neutral, and a perfect addition to your denim wardrobe this Fall season!
