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…

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…

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…

With Thanksgiving this week, I can officially say I am in the holiday shopping mood! I’m gearing up towards my Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and making that wish list that includes many of my favorite beauty picks. Whether shopping for you mom, sister, best friend, or perhaps yourself (it’s OK, I take advantage of the good deals for myself too) DermStore has incredible beauty finds for skincare, hair, and makeup. What’s more is that…

Fall is just around the corner and I’m deep into fall colors already. If you follow me on Instagram you’ve already seen me wear a gorgeous red wine color many times and I seriously can’t get enough of it! I even wear it on my lips every chance I get. I am obsessing over the Fall 2016 colors from Pantone’s color report, but this color somehow didn’t make the cut. Fortunately, as a Seattle blogger, my…

Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by COMPEED®. All opinions are mine alone and as promised, I always give you an honest review! I was recently asked by a good friend of mine, “How do you wear heels all the time? Don’t your feet hurt?!” To answer her question fairly, they absolutely do. I have to face the inevitable and realize my feet are bound to encounter blisters at some point from all the cute…

As I updated my Facebook status from kindergarten teacher to owner at Style Miss Molly my heart grew unbelievably sad reminiscing the past that brought me so much joy, yet I was filled with remarkable excitement and hope for a future I can create on my own. Yes, I’m announcing today that I left my dream job to fulfill another and I couldn’t be more thrilled and nervous about it at the same time. Not only am…

This post has been sponsored by Smile Brilliant! All opinions are mine alone and as always I give you an honest review! You probably noticed how I love to inspire and encourage you to “keep smiling” at the end of every post I write, but do you know why I say it? I firmly believe that your smile is truly the best accessory you can wear. Without it, I can hardly say I’m fully dressed!…

Today officially marks one year of blogging! It’s been a beautiful journey and I have grown in so many ways – not only in numbers, but also in experience. Although I celebrated my one year Instagram-iversary last month, I didn’t launch my blog until a month later. That’s why I celebrate the launch of my blog today! To celebrate my one year blog-iversary, I’ve compiled a list of the 5 most common questions I receive…
