gold watch

I wanted to get a gold watch for a while and I finally found one! It's no Michael Kors, but hey it works for me (as in...it's a lot cheaper. ha).  I found this one at Forever 21 for 23 bones. I love it because it could stand alone and it could also be combined with layers of random bracelets. And the best compliment I've received was after walking out of an Institute of Religion class. This guy ran out after me and said "I just have to say...that's the most blingin' watch I've ever seen." Haha...awesome.


ps. I apologize for lack of fashion/outfit posts. I have been traveling a lot the past couple of weeks and it's been pretty busy. I just got back to my hometown Winnipeg. But I will get some up right away and I will fill you in on my travelling adventures!

Happy Thanksgiving!

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."   

  ~ Melody Beattie

It's Thanksgiving Day in Canada! I love this holiday not only for the delicious thanksgiving meal and for coming together with family, but because it is a friendly reminder that we should give thanks and cultivate an attitude of gratitude every day. I thank God every day for my loving family and for the gospel in my life. I am grateful for prayer and to know that I have a Heavenly Father that listens and answers my prayers and loves me unconditionally. I am grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ, for His love and for giving me the strength to overcome anything. I am grateful for good friends that I can always talk to, trust, laugh with, be crazy with, and who respect me for who I am. I am grateful for the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon, for guiding me daily and providing answers to my questions. And I'm grateful for the simple things in life from pillows to hugs to sunshine. Let me tell you... this list can go on forever...

I try to be positive and optimistic in all things. Why focus on the bitter when there is always the sweet? This is a beautiful talk given by President Monson on cultivating an attitude of gratitude. Visit here.

less is more

I believe in being modest.

I saw this on facebook and wanted to share it. I try to dress modestly because it shows respect for myself and for my body as a temple. It's classy, it feels more comfortable, and I think you can definitely still be attractive and stylish. It shows your confidence and creativity with your style. One of the main reasons why I started this blog is to show that you can be modest AND stylish at the same time {Yes, it's possible!}. There is so much variety in the clothes and trends these days. For example, maxi skirts, layering, cardigans, blazers...just to name a few. 

"Modest is Hottest"...so true. And yes, a lot of guys find modesty more attractive too. It's so great to see celebrities who are role models and examples of this. I love what Emma has to say - I'm an even bigger fan of hers now. And this girl’s got style...

"I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder." - Emma Watson

Go Emma....Represent! {haha...I know I'm a nerd}
