Nars Heat Wave | Stila Fiery | Urban Decay 69 | Mac Ruby Woo

I get a lot of questions about the different red lipsticks that I wear on my blog. And so today, I wanted to share my four favorites with you. Now truth be told, I am a total lip gloss junkie and don’t usually tend to gravitate towards lipstick-mostly because I have always found them to be messy and uncomfortable. BUT since discovering these 4 products, I find myself wearing lipstick more and more often. And more importantly, actually liking it!

NARS Heat Wave: really fun orange/red; my go to in the summer; lightweight, but not super long lasting

STILA Fiery: burgundy red color; long lasting vinyl gloss that wears like a lipstick; pretty comfortable, and amazingly long lasting (even through drinking and eating); sponge applicator makes it easy to apply

URBAN DECAY Revolution in 69: true bright red, my personal favorite lipstick (in all colors!); super comfy, long lasting, easy to apply

MAC Ruby Woo: super fun color; cool red tone with a matte finish; a little drying-definitely pair with a gloss

Happy, happy Friday to all of you! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Mustard + Leopard

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

I LOVE the combination of leopard and mustard yellow. It is hands down one of my very favorites ever. And while I would normally pair this combo back to black, I am loving the added element that a dark wash denim brings to this look…

Yesterday I was absolutely thrilled to be featured as a favorite look for the weekly Trend Spin Link Up with The Fashion Canvas and Walking in Memphis In High Heels (two of my very favorite blogs!). Be sure to stop by here and here to see my featured look and check out their cute blogs!

Happy hump day!

In-vest-ed

On January 20, 2014January 19, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

There was a period in time that I wore this denim vest so much that I had to make a conscious effort not to wear it so often. And I did such a good job of avoiding it that it ended up buried in the back of my closet and forgotten about for a period of time. And so today, I couldn’t be happier to welcome it back to the rotation! To me, there is just something about a vest (whether it be denim, down, leather, fur, etc.), that just adds that extra pop to any outfit. It’s just tough to beat those pieces in your wardrobe that make you look like you put in a little extra effort when you really actually didn’t…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. I was lucky enough that one of my very best friends came to the SLC to visit me. And let me tell you, we had the most amazing time. From shopping, to manicures, to eyelash extensions, to fun dinners out on the town, and even a little Sundance Film Festival action, it will be a weekend that I will always fondly remember. Sometimes there just isn’t anything better than girl time.

And if you don’t already, be sure to follow along Instagram to catch all of my fashion (and real life) adventures!

Happy Monday!

Tried and Tulle

On January 15, 2014January 14, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

To say I can’t get enough this Lookbook Store jacket would be an understatement. I adore it. I also adore this American Eagle dress-even though it’s a couple of years old. And with the tulle trend still in frenzy mode, I am certainly glad that I have held onto it. It’s definitely on frequent repeat in my closet and even on the blog! You can see another favorite way I’ve styled it here…

Jacket: Lookbook Store, denim version (obsessing over this!!) | Dress: American Eagle (old), similar, similar | Necklaces: JCrew, INC (old), this season’s version | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Pumps: BCBGeneration (sold out), similar, similar

Lips: Chanel Glossimer in BonBon

So I have to say, I absolutely LOVE these shoes, and I am super bummed about the dye transfer on them around my ankles (yikes!!). So I have to ask, does anyone out there have any good products or remedies to remove denim markings from suede? Please share if you do! Otherwise, these shoes are going to have to be worn with pants only from here on out!

Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments and support. I appreciate you guys so much!

Radiant Orchid

On January 6, 2014January 6, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have to admit, I usually get pretty excited every year when Pantone announces their “official” color of the year. But last year I was so thrilled when they announced that the “it” color of 2013 was Emerald Green, that I didn’t hold out much hope for 2014-that is until they announced that their official color of the year was Radiant Orchid (insert swoon here). Now if there is one color that could top Emerald Green in my book, this is most definitely it. So what better way to kick off my 2014 blog posts than with an ode to Radiant Orchid, Pantone’s official color of 2014…

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I have to admit, I’m a little sad to be back to the grind today. My time away from work just seemed to go by so quickly. But the good news is, I have a lot to look forward to in the next couple of months!

Happy Monday! And thanks for stopping by!

P.S. How amazingly gorgeous is Utah? So blessed to live in this beautiful state!

So Long, 2013…

I always get a little reflective and perhaps even pensive when each year ends and a new one begins. It is a time of excitement and the promise of a new beginning and fresh start, but the turning of that page always makes me a little sad too. The older I get, the faster and faster time seems to go. Cliche, I know, but true none-the-less.

Looking back at 2013, this blog has really been such a highlight of my year. And so, I wanted to take today’s post to THANK ALL OF YOU for being with me every step of the way. Your support, your engagement, your ideas, your encouragement, your love-it has all meant the world to me. And I sincerely hope you will continue along this journey with me into 2014 I could not do what I do every day without each and every single one of you. So truly, from the bottom of my hear, THANK YOU.

And what better way to close out 2013 than with a look back at some of my (and yours too!) favorite looks from this year…

Boots

On December 3, 2013December 3, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have a slight obsession with cognac boots-or more specifically these cognac boots. I wear them more than any other piece of footwear that I own and I am feeling pretty bummed that they are all but about worn out. And because I knew this would most likely be their last season, I have been on the hunt for a replacement pair all fall. And surprisingly I have had absolutely zero luck. Maybe I’ve set my standards too high, but how hard could it possibly be to find a pair in the right shade of cognac with a low heel (wedge or stacked), wide enough to fit my calves, that go with everything, and are neither too dressy, nor too casual? Apparently it’s nearly impossible. Looks like a trip to the cobbler is in my very near future-I need all the help I can get prolonging the life of these babies…

Fitness is incredibly important to me, and during this time of year, I am especially grateful to have a secret weapon to help beat that dreaded holiday weight gain. And that my friends is Kenny Akers’ 2Xtreme Bootcamp here in the SLC. Kenny whips me into tip-top shape, keeps me laughing through even the most challenging workouts, always brings the intensity and new challenges, pushes my limits and comfort level at every class, and is a constant source of inspiration to me and our entire bootcamp family.

Fall Florals

On November 18, 2013November 17, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

When I think florals, I definitely think Spring. But for whatever reason, I have been finding myself drawn to bright colors and flowery patterns this Fall season. Maybe it’s denial about the cooler months ahead, or maybe it’s my love for color. But either way, I am kind of digging breaking out some of my favorite Spring pieces in the month of November…

Casual Friday

I am all about dressing casual and feeling comfortable. So this Friday, I wanted to share a casual go-to look that is on frequent repeat in my closet right now, comprised of a few of my favorite things: a button down, leather jacket, favorite jeans, and a fun pair of pumps. Kind of tough to beat, don’t you think?
