Holiday Gift Guide!

Hey Friends, The countdown is on for Christmas, the season of giving! I've always loved looking at gift guides every year and so this year, I decided to do something fun and do my own. Black Friday is coming up this week, so here is a mini version of my Holiday Gift guide.  

Throughout the holidays there will be a "Gift Guide" page on my website, so be sure to come back and check it out! 



  1. SHE IS CLOTHING T-SHIRTS -  The gold foil 'Elle est forte' T is my favourite piece from this store. You can dress it up or wear it casual. It's classy and trendy. Another favourite of mine are the 'She Is' leggings they are super comfy. 'She is Clothing' is such a great little online store with an amazing message for women everywhere. (use Code Melody10 for anything in store for 10% discount)

  2. FASHIONABLE -ABERA CROSSBODY TOTE-  I'm loving this leather bag. It's made in Ethiopia and it's beautiful. I got mine with my initials on it and it's just the perfect touch. FashionABLE is an online store that has Beautiful products by women who have overcome and of course I'm all about that. Check them out!

  3. NOONDAY COLLECTION FIRELIGHT NECKLACE - How gorgeous is this? I first discovered Noonday when I went to IF GATHERING in Austin, Texas in February,2015. Love what 'Noonday Collection' stands for and what they do. This necklace was made in Uganda. Here is a small little blurb about them from their website: "We partner with talented artisan entrepreneurs to make a difference in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. By developing artisan businesses through fair trade, we empower them to grow sustainably and to create dignified jobs for people who need them. Together we’re building a flourishing world where children are cherished, women are empowered, people have jobs and we are connected".

  4. THE BROKEN WAY BY ANN VOSKAMP -   "God sees the broken as the best and He sees the best in the broken and He calls the wounded to be the world changers." A quote from this absolutely amazing book! I'm halfway through and loving every part of it. Get it for you and for everybody! 

  5. TOO FACED KISSMAS GIFT SET - Nothing like a little glam for the Holidays! Every year during the holidays SEPHORA always has a lot of these fun gift sets. If you are a big lippie fan than you know all about Too Faced Melted liquified long wear lipstick. They are great! I think they make the perfect stocking stuffer, *I've recently discovered that this is now sold out at Sephora :( as i have been preparing this blog post but you can still get it HERE*

  6. 'BE YOU' TRAVEL MUG -  By Sadie Robertson (Duck Dynasty) "Encourage a girlfriend, a daughter, a sister and others with the inspiring message, 'Be You' and, take the opportunity to encourage your own heart, too!" 

  7. ANTHROPOLOGIE GOLDEN MONOGRAM MUG - Everything in Anthropologiejust gives me life! I love this store! I'm sure by now it is clear that I love gold anything haha! SO it's no surprise that I love these. I bought these for my son's teachers last year and this year they are still just the perfect affordable gift. They are Limited edition for the holidays, don't miss out!

SO there you have it, a few of the things featured on my very first, 'Holiday Gift Guide' I'll keep you posted for when the full version is up! 

Till then, know that you are loved :) 

Thanks for stopping by,

Fall Favorites

Fall is hands down my favourite season. My son was born in October, I love to be warm and cozy in a sweater, and I am obsessed with boots! Who doesn't love boot season?! Anyway, we just moved to BC from Alberta and I can't believe I have been missing these beautiful fall colours every year. It's absolutely beautiful here. 

I got these booties from Justfab a little while ago and I can't get over how cute the are. Loving the Burgundy this fall!

So here are a few of my favourites this fall.

Side note : I bought the Michael Kors purse about 2 years ago. I am quite sure it's not in the store anymore. However, it is Michael Kors so you know there are lots of other amazing products!

 

So Guess What?

Guys!

I've teamed up with She is Clothing and I'm so excited about it. I LOVE this cute store and the whole beautiful statement that comes from Proverbs 31:25 - SHE IS STRONG!

Elle est Forte (She is Strong) has kinda been the theme of my life the past few years and so I obviously LOVE these gorgeous, fashionable reminders.

Wear Love

It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
— Colossians 3:14

I love this verse! It sounds nice, looks nice, makes you feel good inside. What if we lived in a world where the first thing we put on was love? What would the world be like if we all chose to never be without it?

We have been told...No! we have been COMMANDED to love. This is huge! I post a lot about love and it's because I want to get this right. I want for love to be the first thing I reach for everyday before anything else in my closet. I want to spread the message to everyone about how much they are loved. 

Let's wear love above anything. Not just shirts that say it...I mean those are cool and all, but let's really wear it! Let it be the centre of who we are and what we do everyday, always. Loving God and Loving people!

Know that you ARE loved!
