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!!!

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Jacket: Blank NYC (best jacket EVER. 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!)

On November 26, 2014November 25, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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!

Stripes, camo, and leopard…together? You bet! Nothing better than mixing a few favorite prints. And to sweeten the pot? Why not add a vest, your favorite denim, and some basic gold jewelry. And voila! You are ready to take on the weekend in comfortable, casual style!

Texture

It’s no secret that I love print mixing. But what you might not know is that I am also a fan of mixing different textures and fabrics. And when I stumbled on this fun version of a classic surplus coat while recently shopping for a dress for my cousin’s wedding, I just couldn’t help myself. It’s the perfect Fall piece with just enough of a twist to make an old staple feel new again…

MashUp

On June 5, 2014June 4, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Sometimes one of my favorite things about fashion is paring things together that don’t necessarily go together. And the mashup of this skirt and top is a prime example. But I have to say, I am loving the unexpected contrast of neon back to classic black and white. And can we talk about this necklace from Ily Couture for minute? Talk about swoon-worthy! It just might be my favorite accessory of the summer!

Instagram Filter: Nashville

It’s been a completely crazy week at work for me, so I am feeling proud of myself for managing to get a post up today! 🙂 Hope your week has been a little more mellow than mine!

Thank goodness the weekend is in sight!

Short Story

I used to think the combo of shorts and heels together was kind of silly. But I have to admit, I am a total convert and wearing heels and shorts together is a summer staple for me. When the weather heats up, I am all about fashion short cuts, and adding heels to any outfit (specifically shorts), is a perfect and easy way to glam up a super casual look…

Instagram Filter: Valencia

Tee: American Eagle (sold out), similar, short sleeve version

Shorts: JCrew (last summer) similar, obsessed with this seersucker version, and LOVE these (on sale!)

Necklace: JCrew

Sunnies: Ray-ban (62mm)

Bag: Steve Madden (old), obsessed with this one AND this one!

Heels: INC (SUPER comfy and come in lots of fun colors AND they’re on sale!)

Back To Basics

On April 29, 2014April 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Sometimes when I am shooting outfits for the blog, I feel like I need to layer on extravagant jewelry and accessories, and create outfits with lots of details and interest. I mean obviously, those types of things photograph better, and I, of course love the challenge of coming up with unique combinations of patterns and accessories to share with you guys (not to mention that it keeps you all interested)! But on a daily basis, my style is really pretty simple. And so today, I thought I’d take you back to the basics and share with you an outfit you would most likely catch me in during the work week: a go-to pair of black skinnies, a comfy button down, minimal jewelry, and a great pair of pumps. Ok, ok, so maybe the pumps aren’t so basic. But what can I say? Shoes are my weakness!

Instagram Filter: Lo-Fi

Button Down: Gap (on major sale!) also love this one, and this one

Skinnies: American Eagle

Necklaces: Monogram (gift) LOVE this one, Tiffany and Co.

Bracelet: Stella & Dot

Watch: Michael Kors

Sunnies: Ray-Ban 62mm

Bag: Coach Bleecker Riley Carryall

Heels: Report Signature via DSW (under$50 and SUPER comfy!)

Lips: Sweet Experience by Mac (limited edition!)

And to see more of my casual, everyday fashion, be sure to follow along on Instagram. If you caught Friday’s post, then you know I post a lot of outfits on Instagram that don’t necessarily always make it to the blog.

THANK YOU so much for stopping by!

P.S. Can you believe the snow on the mountains behind me? We had been having such gorgeous weather and then over the weekend, it turned on a dime. Gotta love spring in the Rockies!

I Heart Pink

I’ve noticed that I’ve been sharing quite a few outfits on the blog as of late that have a lot of red in them. ‘Tis the season, I suppose. But today I wanted to share with you a look that is still entirely appropriate for the season, even though the primary focus isn’t red. In my opinion, shades of frosty pinks and blues work just as well for the holiday season as any red ensemble…

Happy, happy Friday to you all! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog. Enjoy your weekend!

Summer Brights

On June 17, 2013June 16, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love neon. Especially a nice, bright neon yellow. And while it isn’t the easiest shade to wear, yellow in general is my absolute favorite color, so I’m partial. Which is why, of course, I couldn’t resist this pretty top. And while I can’t recommend this hue for everyone, what I can recommend is a pretty, dressed-up tank back to ripped jeans and heels for a summer night out on the town…

Instagram Filter: Valencia

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Ours was unbelievably busy, but filled with some of my favorite things including friends, biking, marbles, vino, time with the littles, root beer floats, and long evenings spent enjoying our deck. Oh how I love this time of year!
