Pink and Blue

I love the combination of pink and blue together. In fact, it’s one of my all time favorite color combinations. And another current favorite? These ah-mazing pink lace up heels…

I am off to Wyoming on a business trip today, which is the just the beginning of my crazy travel schedule this summer! I guess I better brace myself!

Thanks for stopping by!

Shifty

I LOVE a good shift dress. Not only are they the ultimate in comfort, but they are a perfect piece to wear to work during the summer months. Easy, breezy, and professional. They are also a great transitional piece to take from day to night, or casual to dressy. If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you can follow me here) then you know I wore this dress paired with a denim vest to a friend’s baby shower over the weekend, which gave it a slightly more casual vibe than today’s post. Once again, another versatile piece that is great to add to any gal’s wardrobe!

Dressy

On June 2, 2014June 1, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have made a pledge this year to wear more dresses. I’m not quite sure why, but I naturally tend to gravitate towards jeans, heels, and cute tops. But it gets so hot in the SLC during the summer months, that dresses are really a must. PLUS they are so cute and comfy and fun and I am really loving all of the vibrant prints and colors that I am seeing available in stores this season. Case and point? The dress in today’s post. Not only does the tribal print of this dress lend itself well back to denim, but because it showcases so many different colors, it will be an easy piece to style multiple ways this summer. And in my book, versatile pieces like this are the key to expanding your wardrobe without spending a lot of money!

Jacket: JCrew (on sale for under $50! also, it runs big, so order a size down) | Dress: Francesca’s (sold out online, check in store!), loving this one (very similar), this one, this one, this one, and this one | Necklaces: Jeweliq, Etsy | Cuff: Lucky Brand | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Heels: Nine West (SUPER comfy and on sale!)

I hope you all had a great weekend. Happy Monday!

P.S. If you live in the SLC and love coffee, be sure to stop by the new Publik Coffee. We stopped in to check it out over Memorial Day weekend and fell in love! It’s one of the cooler places I’ve been in the SLC. In fact, it’s actually where we shot these photos. And not only is their coffee and ambiance amazing, but they have an entire menu dedicated solely to different kinds of toast. Brilliant!

Proud To Be An American

On May 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I had good intentions of getting this post up in time for Memorial Day, but ended up being too busy having fun with my family (who was in town for the weekend) to sit down and do any blogging. So my apologies for the absence of outfit posts the past few days! But since I’m really digging the patriotic feel of what I wore for our Memorial Day BBQ, I still wanted to share it with all of you!

I love the combination of red, white, and blue-or in this case, neon coral, white, and blue. And of course what could be more American than adding a little pop of denim to an ensemble? So even though Memorial Day weekend has (sadly) come and gone, I love this outfit for a multitude of different summer occasions-including the 4th of July, or really any summer BBQ for that matter….

Spring Must-Haves (for your feet!)

On May 14, 2014May 13, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite ProductsLeave a comment

Before I became an Executive with Macy’s, I was a Senior Footwear Buyer at both Sundance Catalog and Overstock.com. So it should come as no surprise that I really (I mean really) LOVE shoes! And so today, because footwear is off the chain this spring, I wanted to share my favorite (and affordable!) picks of the season with all of you…

Happy hump day, dolls! And happy shoe shopping!

Black and Blue

On May 13, 2014May 12, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

As I’ve said quite a few times this Spring, I am loving the color blue-especially anything in cobalt. It is such a rich, gorgeous color and looks great back to a multitude of other colors. But despite it’s versatility, sometimes pairing it back to plain old black is the perfect combination…

Instagram Filter: Amaro

Jacket: Blank NYC via Nordstrom (sold out), similar, LOVE this version for Spring

Dress: H&M (old), similar, LOVE this (and it’s under $40!)

Necklace: Kenneth Jay Lane (obsessed!), also here

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I had a fantastic birthday celebration in Vegas, but I must admit, I’m a little sad it’s all over. Sometimes the things we look forward to the most always seem to pass us by the most quickly, don’t they? And a very special thank you to all of you for the sweet birthday wishes over the weekend. I appreciate you all SO much and you helped to make my day extra special!

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!

L’eggs Sweepstakes!

On April 28, 2014April 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Do you guys remember L’eggs when they were sold in the iconic egg packaging? I know I sure do. And because I always thought of them as an ’80’s staple, I was surprised (and excited!) when they contacted me and asked me to be a part of their 40th birthday celebration and re-launch of their limited edition egg packaging. Now to be totally honest, I have always been on the fence when it comes to pantyhose and tights, and always have been. But with the popularity of tights and pantyhose over the last year, I figured why not give them a try. And I have to say-I am SO happy that I did. Not only are L’eggs totally affordable (and easy to find-check your local drug store!), but they are super comfy with just the right amount of control around the tummy and thighs. And with all of these in-between temperatures as we transition into warmer weather, they are the perfect accessory if you are anxious to start wearing all of your spring/summer dresses and skirts (like I am!).

In today’s post, I am wearing the sun-tan shade which gave my winter white legs just the right hint of color and smoothed out all of the unevenness caused by those long winter months of nothing but pants. In fact, when we shot these photos, my hubby didn’t even realize that I was wearing pantyhose. BUT he did tell me that my legs looked great! So be sure to check out L’eggs at your local drug store and go here for your chance to win $1,000 cash and a fabulous trip to Las Vegas! GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Candy Crush

On April 18, 2014April 17, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

Well no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t quite make it a week without these pumps making an appearance on the blog. I just love the fun pop of color they bring to any outfit. So if you don’t have a fun, candy colored pump in your wardrobe, then its high time to add a pair! I promise, you will get more wear out of them than you could even anticipate!
