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.

Also, I wanted to take a quick second to wish my hubby a very happy birthday. There is never a dull moment in our lives thanks to his adventurous spirit, and I feel incredibly fortunate to get to share my days with my very best friend. So here is to you, J, and your best year yet! I love you!

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…

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Spring Fever

Happy Friday, dolls! Thought I would leave you today with a few things that I am hoping to add to my Spring wardrobe. And the best part? Everything is under $100 (except the tote). I don’t know about you all, but I think my spring fever has officially set in!

Vest Friend

This vest has been my best friend lately and on constant rotation in my closet. Not only is it the ideal outfit completer, but vests are the perfect transitional piece for this time of year. And how about these Michael Kors shoes? I am OBSESSED! Not only are they super cute, but they just might be the comfiest pair of shoes in my closet right now…

Hope you are all having a fantastic week. I am so excited that it’s Thursday already! We have a super fun weekend coming up, so it’s nice that the week is flying by.

Thanks for stopping by!

Polka Dots

On January 29, 2014January 28, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

There was a period in time when I went a little overkill on the whole polka dot thing, so I made a conscious effort to cut back. And in doing so, it’s been quite a while since I posted a polka dot look on the blog. So after a nice little hiatus, I finally feel like now is the appropriate time to bring polka dots back to All Dolled Up! Not to mention that it has been unseasonably warm here in Utah this week, and this sweater is the perfect transitional piece that feels fitting for a winter that is beginning to feel an awful lot like spring…

I am on the road again for work this week. And between vacation and work trips, will be on the road every week for the next 5 weeks! I guess I better get really comfortable living out a suitcase until March! Sheesh!!!

Happy hump day!

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…

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!

Ok, ok so even though it’s been really cold and rainy here, don’t mind the background of these photos, because we don’t actually have any snow on the ground here in the SLC (well at least in the valley!). But rather, I was going through my outfit archives and realized that I never shared this little gem of an outfit with you all! And something about the combo of neon purple and rich, cobalt blue made me want to blog about it. I absolutely love mixing two bold colors together-especially these two colors. They are the perfect pairing to brighten those sometimes dreary spring days…

I woke up with a heavy heart this morning thinking about the lives lost and all of those affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. Life is so fleeting and so incredibly precious. And tragedies like these are a good reminder to treasure your loved ones and appreciate each and every day to the fullest, because really, we never know what tomorrow might bring. Sending my love, thoughts, and prayers to the Midwest.
