Statement Piece

On March 8, 2016March 7, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

You guys. I have wanted this coat for SO long. I have admired it, put it in my shopping cart about a million times, and finally took the plunge. And while the weather has been nice here in the SLC for the past couple of weeks, there is still plenty of chilly weather ahead of us (it snowed on Sunday!). And not only is this coat the perfect layering piece for all of that in-between weather, but it’s also a perfect statement piece for any wardrobe. So if you’re like me and have been eyeing this stunner for a while, I would totally recommend it (how perfect is it for Easter Sunday?). Plus it’s on sale right now too!

Jacket: Chicwish c/o (on sale!) | Dress: Nordstrom (this is the BEST dress! It comes in several other colors and is a great basic, plus it’s under $50!) | Necklace: Banana Republic (sold out), obsessed with this | Sunnies: Karen Walker c/o Ditto (rent them for one month FREE with code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout) | Clutch: Clare V. | Pumps: Guess

Thanks so much for stopping by, my sweet friends!

P.S. Sorry for the crazy hair again in today’s post! It has been SO windy here! Ugh!

It’s just a style that I have always loved, and will probably always love, until I’m too old to wear them anymore! Ha! The pair I’m wearing in today’s post is not only perfectly distressed and super comfy, but they are an all-time favorite of mine. And the best part? They are currently fully stocked in all sizes and UNDER $90!!!!!!!!

Current Beauty Faves

On February 3, 2016February 2, 2016 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products1 Comment

Happy hump day, lovelies! I wanted to change things up a bit today and do something that I haven’t done in a while-share my current beauty faves! Typically I’m pretty loyal to my tried-and-true products, but over the last couple of months, I’ve stumbled on a few new things that I’ve added to my routine. So I wanted to take a minute and share both the old and the new with all of you. Details, and why I love these products can be found below!

Clockwise from top:

Moroccan Oil: I am obsessed with this stuff. I color my hair and have extensions and it does wonders for both. Since I started using this regularly about a year and a half ago, I have seen a huge change in my hair. Plus, if you live in a dry climate like I do, it will help with static and dryness during the harsh winter months!
Karen Walker Sunglasses c/o Ditto: I am obsessed with sunglasses, so I have absolutely fallen in love with a company called Ditto. They let you rent any designer sunglasses of your choice for just $24/month. There is no contract and you can change them out as often as you want (with free shipping!). Plus, if you use code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout, you can try one month for free!
Urban Decay Naked Smokey Eye Palette: I’ve been super loyal to the original Naked palette for years, but I finally bit the bullet and picked this smokey one up. And I am SO glad that I did! It has great colors in it that I don’t already have, and it’s helped me to be more bold when experimenting with date night looks. But it’s not just for dressing up either! There are amazing neutrals for daytime as well. It really is just a great all around palette and definitely worth every penny!
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Foundation: this is a new product for me. I have been wearing Estee Lauder Double Wear Light pretty religiously for over a year. I love the matte finish, that it stays in place all day, and I never get oily. BUT, this winter has been so dry, it started to make my skin look dry and cakey. On the recommendation of another blogger (Mckenna Bleu-check out her blog here), I tried this one. And you know what? I LOVE it! It stays in place all day, I never get oily, and it doesn’t leave my skin looking dry like the Estee Lauder. And even better? It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything on my face. This is probably my favorite out of all of the new products I’ve tried! It’s also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates! I use this powder to set it.
Benefit High Beam Highlighter: I was having dinner with a good friend a few months ago and I couldn’t stop staring at her skin. It looked so radiant! And when I asked her what her secret was, Benefit High Beam was it. So obviously, I immediately purchased some for myself. And the verdict? I am obsessed with it! It’s super easy to apply, gives the most beautifuly radiant finish, and looks great blended using this.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara: I am a tried and true fan of Bare Minerals Lash Domination. But I’ve found that mixing Lash Domination with this mascara gives me both incredible length and volume. Plus, if I finish it off with a little Younique 3D Mascara for special occasions, it looks like I’m wearing false eyelashes! So good!
Rodan + Fields Sunless Tanner: this stuff is the bomb.com. Not only is it super easy to apply (you can even put it on your face!), but it gives you a gorgeous, gradual tan that you can build as much as you want to. When I went to the Bahamas with friends a couple of weeks ago, the weather was too cold to get any sun. But I used this stuff for a little color and everyone talked about what a nice, natural tan I had when I came back! ha! Plus, it doesn’t get streaky or blotchy around the wrists, ankles, or knees when you apply it or when it wears off. This is hands down the best sunless tanner I’ve ever tried.
Butter London Lippy Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon: I am a gloss girl and most lipsticks can drive me nuts. But not these! The color is super vibrant, they wear really well, and are comfortable on the lips. Plus, the lid has a built in sharpener making it the perfect all in one! Ladybird (a fiery red/orange), Primrose Hill Picnic (the perfect bright pink), and Trout Pout (a great bright coral) are my go-to colors.

Let me know if you guys have any questions! Would love to hear if you use any of these products, or what your favorites are! I am always on the lookout to try new things!

Abby

Scarves have always been a favorite accessory of mine in the winter. But this gorgeous pink number just might be my favorite scarf. Ever. Not only do I love the color, but the material is so incredibly soft and cozy. It really is the perfect statement accessory for colder weather, AND it makes me feel like I’m wrapped up in a cloud.

Thermal: Free People (these are seriously my faves!)

Jacket: Blank NYC

Skinnies: Citizens (old), wishing for these

Sunnies: Prada c/o Ditto (try them for one month FREE with code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout)

Plaid Shirt Dress

On December 29, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you don’t have a go-to plaid shirt dress in your wardrobe, then I would highly recommend purchasing one in the new year. They are such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down and will give you tons of options for different outfits to create in your wardrobe. A denim vest is also an excellent choice if you are looking to add a few new silhouettes to your closet in 2016! Be sure to shop my favorite plaid dresses and vests below!

Dress: Nordstrom (on sale!), love this, this and this | Vest: JCrew | Hat: Macy’s | Sunnies: Prada c/o Ditto (try them for free for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout) | Boots: Old, just bought these and love these

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to swing by tomorrow for a fun NYE inspired post!

Red and Green

On December 23, 2015December 23, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Okay, okay. So as cliché as it might be this time of year, I do love a good old red and green combo. Particularly when it is slightly more subtle than a traditional Christmas red and green. So with that said, for today’s outfit, I substituted Kelly green with olive, which slightly tones down the combo. And while it still feels festive, it isn’t over the top. Can we also talk about this jacket for a minute? Not only is it super soft and comfy, but it’s also under $30! Amazing!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

Sleeveless

On November 24, 2015November 24, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Wanted to share another idea for a Thanksgiving dinner outfit with you all today. I love the sleeveless outerwear trend this season, and pairing this cute plaid version back to a cozy ponte dress and a favorite pair of booties is one of my go-to looks. So not only would something like this be super cute for celebrating the holidays, but it’s comfy enough to leave plenty of room for that extra piece of pie. 🙂

Plaid Vest: Nordstrom (on sale!) | Dress: Banana Republic (40% off!), sleeveless version (also on sale!) | Sunnies: Karen Walker (use code: ALLDOLLEDUP to try them for one month free!) | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Booties: Sam Edelman

Fur and Boots

On November 2, 2015November 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good faux fur vest. So I am DEFINITELY glad that they are back in style this season. And while I typically tend to pair them with denim and tunics, they work equally as well when styled with dresses.

And can we talk about the booties in today’s post for minute? I shied away from them for quite a while because I just wasn’t sure about the price point or style. But I finally pulled the trigger and let me tell you…they are my absolute favorite pair of booties in my closet! Not only are they are super comfy, but they are really flattering with both denim AND dresses. So if you are looking for a great pair of booties to add to your closet this season (they also come in a great neutral brown color), then I would highly recommend these. And I’m not the only one who loves them either. They’ve been so popular, Nordstrom has been sold out for the few past weeks, but you are in luck because they JUST restocked them! In fact, I love mine so much, I’m thinking about snagging them in the other color!

Hope you all had an AMAZING Halloween weekend!!

Abby

Rusted

On October 26, 2015October 26, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Ok, so this dress MIGHT look a little familiar. I have it in white, and also in a gorgeous purple color. And since the Free People price tag is a little steep to own this piece in too many colors, I was thrilled to stumble on this dupe from SheIn for a fraction of the price. In my opinion, the quality is almost as nice, the fit is pretty much identical, and at under $30, this is a purchase that is pretty much guilt free. Plus, how gorgeous is this rust color? So perfect for Fall!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We were so busy, I feel like I need another weekend to recover from my weekend! lol. Guess I’ll just have to make do with a little extra coffee this morning!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Date Night Casual

On October 23, 2015October 22, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good date night casual look. And there is no easier way to accomplish this kind of look than with a pair of destroyed skinnies, fun pumps, and a bold lip. And even though my top is just a plain black shirt, the cut out shoulders give it a slightly edgy feel, while allowing me to still feel super comfy. So in honor of the weekend, I want to know, what is your go-to date night look?

Lips: Trout Pout by Butter London

I have been a little under the weather this week and have honestly had a pretty stressful week in general. So I have to say, I am even happier than usual to welcome the weekend this week. Thanks for stopping by, sweet friends!

xoxo,

Abby
