Weekend: Wedding Edition

Dress {j.crew} Necklaces {j.crew} Wedges {Banana Republic}  A's tie is Ted Baker, his shirt is from Trunk Club, and his shoes at Allen Edmonds. Steph looked SO beautiful!  Gossip Girl 2.0? {finally!} Gave the girls their "help me tie the knot" gifts! Still have 3 more to track down! I got to spend this weekend with some of my favorite people in the world. My family and my two best friends - LJ and Kaela. We were all back in Milwaukee celebrating the wedding of one of our oldest friends Steph! It was a beautiful night: peonies, champagne, dancing, and a room full of so much love. When we're all together we get a little camera happy {see the senior pictures pose}, but no one else can compare to the fun I have with my lady loves. I am SO emotional at weddings. I keep thinking about the day Adam and I walk down the aisle next year. My dad giving a speech, two families becoming one {I'm so excited}, the rehearsal dinner, the

Interview: Michelle Money

I will be the first to admit that reality television isn't a guilty pleasure of mine, it's a real pleasure that I'm 100% confident in owning. Since Michelle Money made her debut on the Bachelor I knew that this was one chick I had to keep following. So I did, via Twitter, Facebook, and her YouTube Channel {links are the the bottom of the page}. Miss Money is not only stunning, but she is totally down to earth {rare, I know}! She was kind enough to do an interview with me, and I can say with certainty that I adore her even more!  1. We watched you on the Bachelor and Bachelor Pad, and it seems like the 'Bachelor Family" is pretty close. Do you raid one another's closets? Who do you think has the most covetable wardrobe out of all the ladies who have been on the show? If I could share closets with one of the other contestants I would for sure choose Jillian Harris! I LOVE her style and her personality that goes with it! She is sassy, s

Karen Kane: Inspiration

Drooling. That's what this  Karen Kane  Moto Jacket left me doing. I've taken some outfit photos {truth: soon to be revealed - this kind of thing takes a bit of teeth pulling on my end - it terrifies me to be judged}. When I received a box full of goodies from Karen Kane I couldn't have felt more special. I told my mom who proceeded to say, "Ohhhh! Your grandma loves  Karen Kane !!!  " I love my grandma, but our sense of style has a sixty year age gap. The point of this : Karen Kane caters to all ages, and in my opinion has really modernized their brand. Printed pants, high necked maxi dresses , and chic tops in modern cuts were all on my radar. I can't wait to share these pieces with you over the next couple of weeks {saying it here holds me accountable - no more being shy}! Outside of my blog post, this moto jacket has been getting a ton of wear, it's a perfect jacket to throw on when I'm heading out the door. It goes with everything and stripe

chasing paper: born in the hustling sparkle of NYC, roots in the Heartland.

chasing paper The universe sends you the funniest messages sometimes, sometimes those messages are from your little sister and they open up a world of history. A few months ago, Emme, my sister send me an article on a Milwaukee native that created a unique company - Chasing Paper - stylish removable wallpaper for the urban home.  I was instantly curious and had to get to the bottom of it all...who, what, where, how!? I sent them an e-mail {and the lat name of the creator sounded crazy familiar - Milwaukee isn't really THAT big}. A few hours later my inbox pinged with a e-mail that would bring everything full circle, and make Chasing Paper even more brilliant {it's pretty brilliant to begin with}. To make it simple: my fiance's dear grandma was the nanny for the the girl behind Chasing Paper . I can't wait to get my hands on a few pieces of this product! Adam and I have a few tables that need a fresh coat of white paint and a perfectly patterned top. And let&#

And we're back! Thank you so much for your patience and loyalty while Molly Dixon - The Blog got a bit of a makeover. Ashlyn of Let it Be Beautiful did an amazing job of bringing my vision for a new design to life. If you are thinking of investing in your blog, I highly recommend working with this brilliant beauty. Now back to the root of it all - giving you information that I adore!  I've been seen this tip a lot of places, but every time I say it out loud people exclaim "Are you serious?", so I figured there had to be a few of you out there that were behind the times {sorry} as well.  While I love my fine jewelry, most of the time it doesn't get worn on a daily basis, with the exception of my engagement ring. I prefer my Tory Burch earrings vs. my diamond studs and my Forever 21 bangles vs. something that won't turn my wrist green. Here lies my point: costume jewelry will turn your fingers, neck, wrists, and ears green. It will also ta
