The perfect booties for fall. 

If you’re in the market for a new pair of booties for fall these Steve Madden booties are the ones! I picked up the maroon pair a few weeks back and after wearing them every day for practically a week straight I decided to pick up a pair in black and beige.

This is a look I wore over the weekend while running errands and walking around downtown Seattle. The jeans I’m wearing have been on repeat a lot lately, they’re from Express. I love the ripped detail and the frayed hem. The cozy coat is Opening Ceremony via my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription, I’ve received so many compliments on it. It’s a great coat for transitioning into fall, I love the shearling detail and the color is stunning!

I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle this weekend, look for another blog post about my stay later this week!

Outfit details below along with a few more maroon things I have my eye on!

Fall in Seattle is here. 

There’s definitely a crispness in the air here now and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been getting cozy by the fire with my dog and stocking up on booties and sweaters (I bought these booties that are under $100 in three different colors). Today I’m sharing what’s on my fall wish list.

I love to travel and explore new cities, my latest trip to Minneapolis was filled with exploration, shopping and lots of delicious food!

Phew it’s been a week! I got home from visiting the midwest last week and my suitcase still isn’t fully unpacked (insert monkey covering eyes emoji). I’m finally getting around to sharing some of the photos I snapped and favorite places I visited while spending a few days in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Where I ate and what I saw while in Minneapolis.

Eat.

• Eat Street Social – Had dinner here after exploring the Minnepolis Institute of Art, they have a really cool old fashioned flight!
• The Lowbrow – Delicious and unique brunch spot.
• The Bachelor Farmer – awesome dinner spot, intimiate setting, delicious food and excelent service.
• Marvel Bar – Speak easy bar with stunning decor, it’s under The Bachelor Farmer, great for before or after dinner drinks.

See.

• Minneapolis Institute of Art – Set aside at least a couple hours to get lost in this beautiful place and be ready to swoon over art.
• Mill Ruins Park – Super unique park in downtown Minneapolis, definitely worth walking around and exploring.
• Martin Patrick 3 – Awesome and unique men’s store. There’s also a room filled with antique jewelry. You’ll be offered a complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival!
• Linden Hills neighborhood – Cute neighborhood with coffee and antique shops.
• Uptown neighborhood – Cool bars and restaurants.

Exploring the Linden Hills neighborhood, there was a stunning antique shop called Victory Antiques, see picture below. I wanted everything inside the store! There was also a super cute little cafe across the street called Turtle Bread.

Brunch at The Lowbrow, I had the jalapeno hash and a Bloody Mary with sake!

Happy Saturday! I’m spending today being lazy, running errands and packing! I’m hopping on a plane tomorrow, keep an eye on my Snapchat to find out where I’m headed (@MollieinSeattle).

Today’s look features stripes and a lot of color. I got this Kate Spade New York dress via my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription, I loved the pops of pink (that’s my favorite color) and how versatile the dress was. I was able to wear the dress with wedges and make it more casual with sneakers.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately

You might already follow me on social media like Instagram or Twitter, but for those who don’t I thought I would share a few pictures that I’ve posted lately. It’s Friday night, happy Friday! And I’m sitting on my couch watching the Olympics Opening Ceremonies. During commercials I’m scouring Nordstrom’s website for any last minute Anniversary Sale deals before the sale officially ends on the 8th. I wrote a couple blog posts detailing my Anniversary Sale favorites that you can see here and here.

A couple weeks ago I spent a Saturday night at my aunt and uncle’s house. They recently welcomed a new puppy into their family and I was absolutely smitten with her! Wearing a Gap sweater, Treasure & Bond shorts, Gorjana necklace and Karen Walker sunglasses.

I finally got my first bodysuit and I LOVE it! I purchased it from Nordstrom, it’s part of the Anniversary Sale. My jeans are old from Topshop which I also love, I wear them all the time.

I planned this look around this necklace. After seeing so many cute pictures of outfits on Pinterest featuring leather and velvet chokers I had to order one for myself. Top is Vince, necklace is just a random brand I found on Amazon (it’s $7.35), jeans are Paige, leather jacket is BLANKNYC (on sale for $64 for the Anniversary Sale!).

Got this DVF dress via my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription! Paired it with my nude Valentino Rockstuds and my pearl earrings. I loved the polished and ladylike style of this dress.

I paired an off the shoulder top with this velvet choker I found on Amazon. Shorts are Treasure & Bond. Shirt is old but there are similar options here and here.

I finally did it! After seeing countless photos of tulle skirt outfits on Pinterest, I stepped out in a tulle skirt of my own. I tucked in my denim shirt and wore my Valentino Rockstud flats. The tulle skirt is Shabby Apple.

Another beautiful DVF dress from my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription. I was immediately drawn to the bold blue color and feminine lace details.

A few weeks ago I checked in for a staycation at the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, I snapped this picture while sipping a delicious margarita on their pool deck!

Walking around Pike Place Market swooning over all the pretty flowers.

I recently had brunch at Loulay in downtown Seattle. I was so incredibly impressed with the quality of the food, the stunning decor inside and the excellent service. I’ll definitely be returning again soon!

Happy Friday! You can shop all the pieces I outlined above right below here.

This Joie dress was perfect for a Sunday Funday brunch in downtown Seattle! 

Sundays that are spent with friends, enjoying good food, drinking rose in the sunshine are Sundays well spent if you ask me. I received this Joie dress via my Rent the Runway Unlimited subscription and just fell head over heels for it. The soft off the shoulder detail along with the colorful floral print made me feel pretty and feminine.

If you aren’t an Unlimited subscriber with Rent the Runway the dress costs $70 to rent for four days. Sign up here for RTR and receive $30 toward your first rental! The dress is also on sale at Joie and Nordstrom if you want to purchase the dress for keeps. I definitely thought it was a fun versatile dress, I wore it to brunch on Sunday and then later paired the dress with a denim jacket to wear to work.

I picked up this Michael Stars hat while I was in Walla Walla over the Fourth of July.

My sister got me hooked on Gorjana jewelry, every once in a while I pick up a new piece to add to my collection. These two gold necklaces are Gorjana, I wear them all the time!

Rings are BaubleBar here and here. Nail polish is Julep ‘Nicolette’!

Sharing a look from Brooks 2016 Fall Collection

A typical weekend for me is spent taking it easy, sleeping in, running errands and squeezing in a work out. What I wear on my typical weekend is a comfy pair of leggings, a cozy top and sneakers. Today I’m excited to share this new look from Brooks Fall 2016 Collection.

Brooks Threshold Long Sleeve top // Brooks UpRise Crossback Bra // Brooks Go-To Tight // Brooks Run Mist Tee // Brooks Ravenna 7 shoe // Ray Ban sunglasses

It was Sunday morning and I put on my gear to go exploring at a park in downtown Seattle. These Go-To tights are lightweight with a couple pockets, perfect for storing an extra hair tie and my chapstick, and the Threshold top is super soft and keeps me nice and warm!

I love the sneakers because they feature one of my favorite colors, pink! They provide great support and comfort whether I’m walking my dog, or going on a run.

When it gets a little warmer this Run Mist t shirt keeps me cool and I love the gold detail.

I’ve been smitten with Brooks gear for a long time now! They always create the perfect combination of function and style!

Below are a few other Brooks favorites.

Everyone can now shop the Nordstrom Anniversary sale in store and online!

Last week I outlined some of my sale favorites, today I’m sharing more! It’s a great time to stock up on basics like bras and PJ’s as well as pieces for fall. Prices go back up August 8th so don’t wait too long!

Here are some more of my Anniversary Sale picks.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access is here!

Can you believe it’s already that time of year again? Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is here, beginning with exclusive early access for Nordstrom card holders through July 21. I spent last night going through the sale and picking out my favorite things, they’re all below. This is a great time to stock up on pieces for fall, as many of the items on sale are beautiful fall trends! Whether you’re looking for a new handbag, shoes, dresses, coats or something in beauty, there are items on sale in all of those categories!

Here’s what I wore on the Fourth of July.

For the long Fourth of July weekend I flew to Walla Walla, WA to spend time wine tasting in the sun and visiting with friends. More to come on my trip in another blog post soon! For now I wanted to share the pretty white dress I wore on the Fourth of July for an afternoon BBQ, it’s from Devlin! I paired the dress with a bold red lip, my absolute favorite Karen Walker sunglasses, and some delicate gold jewelry.

My favorite thing about this dress is the pretty floral appliqués that embellish the soft breezy fabric. The silhouette is feminine and simple making it a perfect choice to wear to celebrate the holiday. It will definitely be on repeat throughout summer.

You might also notice that my hair is a little shorter! I went into my stylist, Jason at Essensuals London in Seattle last week and said please make my hair shorter, something about warm summer weather really has me craving shorter hair.

My rings are BaubleBar from Nordstrom here and here // Apple Watch Sport in rose gold // Quartz cuff from Forever 21 but it’s super old, here’s something similar

I figured I’d throw in a good candid shot here, it was windy when we took these pictures so I had to fight the wind from getting in my face!

My sandals were a last minute desperate purchase, they’re Tory Burch sandals. Ones I’d been eyeing for a while but just didn’t make the jump on getting them, until last week. The day before I left for my trip I wore a pair of Christian Louboutin heels to work, I ended up walking around work a lot more than I originally planned and came home with some pretty nasty blisters. So these sandals saved my weekend! They went with everything and were very comfortable to walk around in.
