Budget Babe: Old Navy Round up.

The hot pink version in stores is to die for. Love this pleated chiffon skirt - super hard to see the details. Old Navy Surplus Shirt Click here to shop!  Old Navy did this thing where they decided to be relevant and that makes me okay with shopping there. The leopard and the chiffon pleats satiate my growing appetite for all things trendy and feminine without breaking the bank. Love that.

I don't like divulging details of my bad days to my beau.  I hate bringing the office home, though these days there is no such thing as work life balance, ha, remember when they taught you all about that in college? I pout for 5 minutes, tell him what sucked, and then wait for my satisfactory hug and peck on the lips. It's a real remedy that works every time. Adam is always challenging me. And telling me I need to kick my confidence into high gear. If anyone has shown me what I'm capable of, it's him.   I may never eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in this lifetime, but if you force to to try a gluten free shrimp chip, I just might. Thanks for telling me on the days I come hope defeated that tomorrow will be better and once I get a hang of things everything will be ok. For making me realize that it's perfectly fine to sit at home, that going...going...and then going some more, isn't always necessary or the most fun. You love me when I'm w

On trend: ALDO heels.

It's so hard for me to find comfortable heels. To this date Max Studio, Joan and David, and Stuart Weitzman have done my little toes no harm. I own a pair of Aldo heels that look like YSL Tributes and they are about a size too big (fail). However, these pumps look like something I could get on board with. The rich  suede colors remind me of Blake Lively's colorful Louboutins, but at a fraction of the price. I'm obsessed with the retro inspired thick heel. My favorite color - the cobalt blue! I could also see myself wearing the mustard heels with a black silk blouse and skinny jeans. This is going to be an expensive Fall for me! Shop the look here. Blake Lively.

Feature: ShopBop Sale!

I love a great sale. Mosey on over to Shop Bop and you won't be dissapointed. I've craving the above pieces.  Camilla Skovgaard Buckle Strap High Heel Sandals Simone Leather Shorts Pencey Black Dress The best part...they are all under $200! 

saturday love.

you really. really are. 

About that.

Clearly not the most politically correct Halloween costume. Actually, kind of    majorly insulting, especially taking such a dangerous (and deathly) disease and making light of it. Read the original Huffington Post article  here.

on my mind monday.

TOMS  goes perfectly punk. A little spendier than the usual $45-$50, but the velvet and skull are too amazing to ignore.  One of my co-workers has mini donkeys. SO. AMAZING. My style icon. Rachel Zoe. This is how you do a red light right - thank you -  Tom Ford. My best friends from college and for life. m. w. l. (me) c. k. c. a.  the seven of you mean more to me than you will ever know. you're with me all the time.  Joan & David  makes the most comfortable shoes. They are affordable (at $100) and did I mention SO comfortable. These are on my ongoing list of Fall must orders. J. Crew  makes the best arm wear. Perfect in a preppy meets good-girl-gone-bad sort of way.

a weekend worth recapping.

{epic discovery via  tall girl tales tumblr  } Tom Binns for $36  here !!! Friday's outfit for wine and tapas and Sontes with some new friends. I couldn't find the exact blouse ( Similar)  I wore online, but it's fairly similar to this one. The J Brand Lovestory jeans and Sam Edelman Falken Boots ( a great option)  are identical. Of course I had on arm full of bracelets, a 'diamond' by the yard necklace and my trusty Tory Burch. It was a night of lively conversation and the best blue cheese I've ever tasted! Saturday we went to all you can eat sushi, napped, watched college football, went to see Contagion (so good!) and stopped on the way home for Flapdoodles ice cream. Today is GO PACK GO! Sunday. And the Emmy's! Moral of the story: great weekend.

what i'm wearing: leather skirt

I'm not sure if many of you are in the know (I tend to spew my good news and accomplishments), but I recently started a new job. I'm thrilled and am so proud to be an employee of said company; however, I'm using my first few weeks to be a sponge and soak in anything and everything about my new responsibilities, coworkers and new venture into the unknown. Monday left me extremely nervous and anxious, I know I'm not that only one that change does that to. I' promise to keep you up to date with my favorite fashion finds and photos, but I'm also going to use this time to maybe blog a little less during the week and reflect on some changes I'd like to make here at le little mollydixon.com! I'm starting to feel like just one of the pack and I need to find that unique edge that I once knew I had. I know I haven't lost my passion for this little side project in my life: fashion, style, life, beauty...I love all of these things, but what am I leaving out that

J.Crew x Prabal Gurung

Prabal Gurung at J.Crew Fit to be Tied pant Prabal Gurung at J.Crew Exploding Bow blouse Prabal Gurung at J.Crew Exploding Bow dress Loving this collaboration. It's truly all in the details. I would love to try and style those pants. How would you wear them? My usual go to is a denim shirt . I can actually seeing them work perfect for work with just that, bright red nails and my simple black Delman Flats.  P.S. Did you know that if you click on the words in the light pink it will take you to my favorite pieces and where you can buy them?

I love these. And for $54 it's a solid investment. Yochi - Leopard Print Drop Earrings

STYLE Week Spotlight: Lillian's of Rochester

I'm all about texture this fall. And participating in STYLE Week (downtown Rochester, Minnesota for you geographically challenged) has got me a ticket to the best pieces in the city! I walked in and instantly knew the looped yarn vest had to be mine - at around $50 it's a great affordable and trendy piece to keep my warm this Fall. See that chiffon dress hiding back there. I would wear it as a skirt, a tunic over skinny jeans (belted with a leopard calf hair belt of course) and that fabooosh leather jacket. Lillian's in Downtown Rochester  is having a major 70's revival. And I'm SO on board! Nikki, the lovely owner, was super busy (the store was packed) when I stopped in, so I didn't get to chat with her about her favorite fall trend, but I'm guessing we are on the same page with all her in store merchandise! Join us Downtown on Thursday, September 15th to see Lillian's in the STYLE Week Fashion show at the Peace Plaza!!!  Like Lillian's of

Cape Love.

This  YSL  silk crepe cape is everything I've dreamed of. I'm not quite sure how I would wear it yet, but I know that it would look brilliant, however; it could be tricky to pull off it not done delicately. For an easier and more approachable (and much more affordable) look try a  cape coat . Edun Wool Cape Coat Max Studio Cape Coat

What do you think?

What do you think? Go Fug Yourself  brought this to my attention. Do I HATE it or LOVE it? Well I love the color blocking (it's SJP - so shut up), but I HATE the shoes. I'm not sure why. Too white? I've always HATED white shoes...I would have loved to see a color (emerald green, navy blue, a darn luxurious tan), the white...is just TOO white.  Tell me how you feel!? Do you love it? I would have simply paired different shoes:    Giuseppe Zanotti             Giuseppe Zanotti          Giuseppe Zanotti

Being Kate Middleton.

-  Hunter Boots   -  Acne Sweater  -  Gray Pencil Squirt  -  Leopard Flats ($59!!)  -  Chiffon Gown  -  Crepe Blazer  -  Short Pleated Dress  -  ISSA Silk Dress (Kate Middleton's Favorite!)  -  Burberry Trench  -  Blue Topaz Earrings - Classic and conservative. You can't really go wrong if Kate Middleton is your style inspiration. I can see her in any of the pieces above, though the leopard flats might be a bit adventurous for our princess!

STYLE Week Spotlight: EYE-Q

Stud. STUDLY.  First, let me apologize for the grainy picture above. It's via my iPhone from Glamour Magazine. That being said, I know you are all rolling those beautiful eyes of yours, really Molly? A boy? Another one? Can you stop drooling for five seconds? Second, I know this boy and he's the perfect segue into the satorical  scrumptiousness you will see below. His name is Sam, and well he's my BFF Cait's, Boyfriend's, Little Brother (get it?).  He looks so handsome in glasses, and while I've always thought a pair would make me look hideous I was quite surprised to learn I have the perfect face for them.  Tammy, from EYE-Q Intelligent Eyewear , told me my eyes are the equivalent of a perfect rack - they fill out everything. Tammy and her beautiful store, EYE-Q  are everything fabulous and fashionable! Bright, inviting and stylish I might just need a new pair of frames each week.  Tammy showed me some of this seasons hottest frames.
