My BF

On March 20, 2014March 19, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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!

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!

Kiss Me, I’m Irish

Happy St. Patty’s Day everyone! In honor of the holiday, and my Irish heritage, I thought I would share a look incorporating the color green today. And of course, no look would be complete without a pop of pink and a little sparkle…

The Blues

On March 14, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I know that for most, blue is a favorite or go-to color. But for me, it’s never been a super common hue in my wardrobe (outside of my denim). That is until this season. For some reason, as of late, I have been craving all things and all shades of blue. From shoes, to bags, to clothes, I think it’s pretty safe to say that this spring, I’ve definitely got the blues…

Happy, happy Friday to all of you! I hope that you all have something fun planned this weekend.

Down On the Farm

On March 12, 2014March 11, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Our weather has been a little crazy the past few days (nice one minute, then raining, or snowing the next!), so between that, and our busy schedules, it’s been a little hard to coordinate for blog photos this week. So yesterday after work, J and I decided to meet at a beautiful historic farm pretty close to our house. And even though it was freezing cold while we were shooting, I loved the location and can’t wait to shoot more photos there-even if we did get chased down by some whopping big snow geese!

And do you know what else I am loving? The simplicity of today’s outfit. Black and white is all the rage this season, and I love it paired back to simple chambray, nude pumps, and a bold lip. Another one of those looks that is so easy to put together, but makes you looked you really put some effort in!

Minted

If you didn’t add anything in the shade of mint to your Spring/Summer wardrobe last year, then it should be at the top of your list this season. I know I for one, am happy to see that it’s still going strong this Spring. It is such a beautiful, fresh hue, and looks fantastic back to so many different accent colors, skin tones, and pretty much every single hair color out there. Mint really is the perfect complement to the warmer weather we all are either anxiously anticipating, or are already lucky enough to be enjoying…

I also just have to comment on how much I am LOVING my mirrored Ray-bans. They are such a fun purchase and I love how you can dress them up or dress them down. I would highly recommend them if you are looking to add a new pair of shades to your spring ensembles!

Panama

On March 10, 2014March 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love a good hat. And while I have been really into fedora’s the last couple of years, I think that this year, the Panama hat might just be my new favorite. But since I am a firm believer that a gal can never have too many hats in her wardrobe, there will be plenty of room for both in mine this season. Not only are hats an ideal statement piece, but they are the perfect secret weapon for combating those less than stellar hair days…

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. The weather here has been so amazing (it was 67 on Sunday!!) that I officially have spring fever. And even though I hope to sneak in a few more days on the slopes, I say bring on the warm weather!

Happy Monday!

Mixology

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!!!

Neon Mono

I love a good monochromatic combination. And while my instinct is usually to use neutrals for monochromatic looks, this necklace/sweater combo has convinced me that it works really well with with color (especially neon!) too!!

Hope you are all having a great week so far! I am in Wyoming on a work trip braving the severe cold. Kind of a shock to the system after 10 days in Nicaragua and spring-like temps in the SLC! Brrrrrrrr….

Sea Stripes

On February 19, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, VacationLeave a comment

I love stripes-any time of the year and for any occasion. And I especially love this JCrew striped mini. I love the vibrant colors mixed with a splash of gold. It feels festive and fun, while still being super casual (if you want it to be). I am even loving mixing metals and wearing both silver and gold with this particular piece. And seriously, how gorgeous is the balcony off our master suite at the Sea House? The home where we are spending our time in SJDS is beyond gorgeous in every way. I’m in love…

Pump It Up

On February 10, 2014February 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am definitely a high heel kind of girl. Not a huge fan of flats, and while I do love boots, if I had my choice, let’s be honest, I’d wear a fab pair of pumps everyday. And so it should come as no surprise that this season I am especially loving making a statement with my footwear. Don’t you just love that shoes aren’t just shoes anymore, but rather outfit completing accessories?

Instagram Filter: Amaro

I had such a fun weekend in Chicago with friends (of course it went by way too fast). But I couldn’t be happier to be home with my sweet family. Well that, and the fact that we are only 2 days away from heading back to Nicaragua for a little vacay. And let me tell you, I am so excited I can hardly stand it. You can see my pics from last year’s vacation to the darling town of San Juan Del Sur here.

Happy Monday!!!
