Knowledge is important, but only if we’re being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are. -Brene Brown Today I celebrate the four year anniversary of Style Miss Molly. Through this beautiful journey, my story has changed and in effort to share the real me, I want to give everyone an update on where Style Miss Molly is today. You may already know the story of why I started my…

Over the years I have grown more and more into a person who allows my heart to guide my mind and connect to a deeper sense of purpose. I’ve become more aware of the meaning behind actions – both mine and those near me. And what I’m finding more and more is that gift giving has re-centered away from mindless gifting and more toward the thoughtful, and meaningful things. Making memories and spreading joy are…

What’s the best gift you have ever received? I imagine it was something so thoughtful you know it came from the heart. Some of the best gifts I have ever received (and given) were handmade. I remember giving my mom a special locket necklace with three birthstones (to represent her three children) and it was truly unique―she still cherishes it today and thanks me for how special it was. It was so fun to put on…

It was only a couple of days before leaving for a trip to Portland to celebrate Orangetheory’s 1000th studio opening and tears of joy filled my eyes. I don’t normally cry from happiness, but reflecting on the past two months brought me to a place of humility and gratitude. Thankful that I was feeling the best I had felt in months, amazed by how much I had recently overcome, and honestly a bit in shock that…

Today I’m breaking all the rumors, answering questions, addressing concerns, and overall just thanking you all for the love that you’ve given me during this quiet time I’ve taken on social media. Your comments and messages of support have meant the world to me as I’ve focused on self-care and have given me encouragement on my toughest days. As a way of saying thank you, here’s a little life and business update answering four of…

There is something beautifully compelling about being in nature. Most of you know me as Style Miss Molly — a fashionista who loves all things girly and loves to dress up. However, today I’m sharing with you a part of me I never have before, and a part of me I’ve only recently come to realize just how passionate about it I am. The truth is, I have never felt more myself than when I…

Many of you know me, Miss Molly, as the ever-positive and always optimistic person who embodies joy, encouragement, and hope. That is, after all, why I started #MollysWords. But “Molly’s Words” actually started from sharing my own vulnerable experiences about my life. The real, the raw, the not so pretty trials many of us face, in hopes to let those suffering know that they are not alone and to share that there is always hope.…

Many of you have asked about my beauty routine and how I have such great skin. First of all, let tell you, it hasn’t always been that way. After I started transitioning products to natural skin care I started noticing a big difference. Today, I’m very excited to partner with a brand who shares the same beauty philosophy as me — Healing Natural Oils. Natural care is the way to go, my friends! Not only…

What does a fashion blogger do to ring in her 27th birthday in style? Stay at the only waterfront hotel on Lake Washington of course! After many days of rain, the sun began to peak out and it was a glorious weekend birthday adventure staying at the 4-star Woodmark Hotel! The Woodmark Hotel is a chic boutique hotel and a prime spot for great views on the waterfront. Lucky for me, it was just a…

Today is a huge day for me! Two years ago today the name Style Miss Molly was created on Instagram, combining my love for style and inspiring others. I can’t quite officially call it my “blogiversary” yet because that wasn’t started until a month later (we’ll be celebrating that soon with some very special things planned for you). April 18th, 2015 is truly where it all began. On the couch in my living room, as I opened…

Two weeks ago, three other Seattle bloggers and I had the wonderful opportunity to escape our little city and head north to Vancouver, Canada. Although it’s only a short three-hour trip for us Seattleites, I had only visited Vancouver once in the past. However, I wasn’t there long enough to discover the hidden gem of Robson Street in the heart of downtown Vancouver. After spending a girls weekend on Robson Street with Molly from Molly’s Musings, Megan…

Once again, I find myself passionate to share more than just fashion. Over my blogging journey, I have been incredibly blessed to work with many incredible brands that curate their collections from the heart and stand up for a greater purpose beyond beautiful clothes. When I find a brand that shares the same vision of creating a community of women who feel empowered to embrace their uniqueness and be who they are meant to be, I am…

Work, life, repeat. Lately, it seems balance has been that one word I’ve been trying to take to heart. Last month it was mindfulness as I took a break from social media and focused on being present in each moment. This month my word is balance; more specifically, work-life balance. We all know we need it, we all thrive from it, but often everyday life happens and balance can get lost in the midst. The truth…

Confidence; in its most basic of elements is a combined feeling of trust, belief and certainty. And for 99.9% of humanity, confidence isn’t something that comes naturally. Fortunately, it is something we all have the capacity to gain with the right tools. In whatever area of life you seek that confidence — love, sports, school, work, passions or finances — the tools are fundamentally the same. Today I’m partnering with Capital One to share my fool-proof…

Meet my friend, social media — the one relationship that manages to push me forward and hold me back at the same time and the one that I have a true love-hate relationship with. You may have noticed my absence of blogging for over a month now. Where have I been? How have I been feeling? Well, I did something I never thought I’d realistically be able to do. I took a break from my good friend social…

2016 was certainly one for the books! As I reflect on what the year was for me, one word in particular comes to mind — fearless. I learned many valuable lessons this year and almost all of them revolved around being fearless. I had to learn to be fearless in my work, my mindset, my relationships, my decisions and my life overall. I’ve conquered many battles, made it through situations I never thought I had…

I’ve seen it repeatedly in my own life in one of two ways. Either I’m going through tough trials and a friend later finds out the pain I was in, or I’m the one witnessing it in another and think to myself later, “I wish I knew then what I know now.” I remember this vividly happening during a blogging event right after my husband filed for divorce. Clearly, I was devastated and going through…

With Christmas just around the corner, I am reminded how quickly this year has flown by. It’s been a beautiful year, with many unexpected twists and turns. Overall, I remain blessed at the thought that my goal of making 2016 better than ever has stayed true. This has been a year that I have discovered more about myself than I ever thought possible and taken each challenge head on. 2016 has taught me to keep…
