Candy Crush

Well no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t quite make it a week without these pumps making an appearance on the blog. I just love the fun pop of color they bring to any outfit. So if you don’t have a fun, candy colored pump in your wardrobe, then its high time to add a pair! I promise, you will get more wear out of them than you could even anticipate!

Easter Best

When I was a little girl, my mom always dressed me to the nines for Easter Sunday-pretty dress, white gloves, and of course an Easter bonnet. And while I don’t bust out gloves or a new bonnet for Easter Sunday anymore, it is still ingrained in me to get dressed up for the occasion. And what better outfit for Easter Sunday than a candy colored sweater and pretty floral skirt?

Sequin Peplum

On April 7, 2014April 29, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas6 Comments

I knew the second I saw this top in person that I had to have it. I had seen it on the Banana Republic website, but didn’t realize just how gorgeous it was until I saw it in the store. This top is absolutely the prettiest mix of a sequined floral print, with just a touch of neon piping. And I have to say, it is one of those extra special pieces that only seem to come around every once in a while. And even though sometimes they take a little seeking out, every girl should have a couple of these extra special pieces in her wardrobe!

First of all…CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Touchstone Crystal giveaway: Sarah Langlois , and Abby Peterson!! Please email me at: abby_doll@hotmail.com so we can work out the details. SO excited for you girls!

And second, I have to say I am grateful to even be getting a blog up today. I had big regional meetings last week at work-which meant a lot of late nights and early mornings-definitely no time for blog photos. And then over the weekend (when I had planned to catch up), I ended up with a terribly sick hubby AND the SLC had a whirlwind of crazy, stormy weather, including SNOW! Let’s just say, the odds were not in my favor. But fortunately, we were able to sneak in one quick outfit right as the sun went down last night. And I have to say, I am loving my pretty red lace dress paired back to a deconstructed denim jacket (with a hoodie no less). You know me, I always love an unexpected mix of casual and dressy…

My BF

I love boyfriend jeans. They are so comfy, and casual, but also look fantastic dressed up back to heels and a cute top. In fact, I think it’s one of the spring trends that everyone should invest in. But be forewarned, it might take some trying on to find the perfect pair that work for your body type. In fact, it took me quite a while to find a pair that were both flattering and comfy-but they were definitely well worth the effort!

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Besides boyfriend jeans, I also can’t seem to get enough these nude pumps. They are a fantastic staple piece for any closet and go with just about anything. So get ready, because you will probably be seeing them on the blog a lot.

Hope you are all having a good week!

Touchstone Crystal+Giveaway

On March 18, 2014March 18, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Today I want to introduce you guys to a fabulous jewelry company called Touchstone Crystal. Now I know the name sounds a little out there (at least that’s what I thought when I first heard about it), but this product is seriously incredible! In fact, I first discovered it when I thought a girlfriend of mine was wearing diamond solitaire earrings, and when I asked her about them, she let me in on her little secret. Touchstone Crystal was created by the Swarovski group, and all of the jewelry in turn is made with genuine Swarovski crystals and zirconia (Swarovski Zirconia is the finest simulated diamond in the world). And do you know what that means? Not only is the jewelry absolutely gorgeous, and top notch quality, but it is also affordable! I picked up the beautiful statement ring I am wearing in the below photos and I can’t even being to convey how much I love it. And not only that, but with most pieces under $100, I can’t wait to add a few more things to my jewelry collection.

It’s no secret that I love camo. And leopard. And stripes. And distressed denim. Oh, and of course yellow. So why not mix them all together? Obviously!! Mixing all of your favorite things into one outfit isn’t just for little kids anymore-it’s called fashion!!!

Mustard

On March 3, 2014March 2, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

In my book, navy and mustard is a pretty tried and true color combination-no matter the season, no matter the trend. And I am loving the playful look of pairing a more formal top and jacket with ripped up, light wash jeans, and nude pumps. It’s unexpected, yet somehow still classic…

My family was reminded this weekend of just how precious life is. Everything can change in an instant, so be sure to tell the ones you love that you love them, and cherish every moment you have with your family and friends.

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

Happy Friday, dolls! I wanted to take today to share one last look from our vacation to Nicaragua with all of you. And while this was an outfit that I randomly threw together during our trip, it definitely consists of several of my favorite things: mirrored Ray-bans, a big floppy sun hat, and a fun graphic tee. Perfect for a sunny day in my favorite beach town…

Happy weekend!!

Track Pants

It took me a little while to hop on the whole track pant band wagon, but am I sure glad that I finally did! Not only are they as comfy as sweatpants, but they look fantastic back to heels. And who doesn’t love to look to put together while being comfortable at the same time??

Happy, happy Friday to you! I am flying to Chicago for a baby shower this weekend.
