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.…

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…

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…

As we approach a season of giving, I can’t help but notice the power behind this positive way of living. It provokes the question, “What if we treated each other with the same generosity and kindness all year long?” I’ll admit that many who give monetarily may not be able to afford this way of giving all the time. But consider this more of a continuous attitude and possibly a new way of living. It…

As I reflect on this past year, my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. To be honest, this has been the hardest year of my life with so many changes happening at once. Anxiety, depression, health issues, divorce, new job, new income, and a new housing situation have all come together in one whirlwind and brought my year with many struggles that I don’t think anyone should endure at once. That alone is overwhelming, but instead of…

We all have those days when you wake up in the morning and have no idea what to wear. I know, I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit. My secret to these days is a closet staple and lifesaver – a white tee. A white tee will always be my default on these days, because it creates a simple base for my outfit that I can easily expand on. With limitless possibilities of…

As Seattle’s beautiful summer departs, I welcome autumn’s chilly embrace as the wind and rain lead me towards cozy fall fashion. When I watched the leaves swirl around last week I got so excited that I can officially say autumn is here. That means sweater weather is finally upon us! Even if fall weather hasn’t quite approached you where you are, you can still get away with wearing sweaters. By mixing sweaters with shorts or skirts…

As the leaves begin to change colors and the weather begins to bring that cool evening breeze, I am already thinking about fall fashion. I love pulling in those transitional pieces that shout summer and fall in one outfit. But what about those items that are not considered seasonal? Out of any of the items in my wardrobe, I like to make the most out of what I wear by investing in pieces that are…

I recently read an article that recirculated on the internet about how much fashion bloggers make. Particularly, some of the more famous bloggers and how rich and famous they are. “Wow! I can certainly do that,” or “That might be me someday,” were a couple of the thoughts that popped into my head. But let me make one thing clear: that’s not WHY I blog. I did not begin my blog with any long-term goals…

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…

Of all the lessons to learn from Coco Chanel this one is by far my favorite: “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” What does classy mean to you? To me, classy means sophisticated and chic. It means living a life full of grace and authenticity. If you could only use a couple words to describe me I certainly hope that classy would be at the top of the list. Creating an outfit full…

It’s the end of August and nothing but wanting summer to stay yet fall to come has been on my mind. I’m torn between a battle of two seasons I love so much and the only thing getting me through is the ability to layer, layer, layer. My friends, you know I am all about timeless and feminine style, but there are certain times a girl just has to be comfortable. A weekend full of running…

With summer in full swing you think I’d be wearing bright colors but I’ve been finding myself wearing a lot more neutrals lately. Mainly, black and white. Don’t get me wrong, I love to wear bright colors to add some sass to an outfit but between Little White Dresses and Little Black Dresses, I continue my love affair with black and white. My latest finds from HER Boutique are no exception to this obsession. This is one color combination…

I know it’s still summer and if you’re anything like me you are fully embracing all that it entails. I’ve been thriving off of summer fashion favorites such as sundresses, tank tops, shorts, swimsuits, and bikini coverups. And yet somehow the Nordstrom Sale comes in strong with fall fashion taunting you with amazing prizes. But really? Just the thought of wearing sweaters or boots has me sweating. Now that there are only three days left…
