“On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves.”
At the beginning of this year a sweet friend introduced me, through email, to a beautiful woman named Alyssa and suggested that we should be friends. I was delighted to get to know Alyssa a little bit by means of her delightful blog and emails. During the process of finding women to do this project Alyssa came to mind and I held my breath hoping that she would say yes. When she did I was thrilled. Alyssa is a wonderful person and has a killer sense of style and fashion to top off her charming personality. Not to mention that she is stunning. Obviously you can tell that by these perfect photos that look right out of a magazine. For her look she was inspired by the dove grey color of turtle doves. I love that she incorporated the bird cages and feathers too (check out that pretty clutch)! While she and the lovely, talented photographer Mckenzie, from Red Poppy Pictures, were bringing this shoot to life a deer walked by! How neat is that?! Had to include it with these photos as it makes this day seem right out of a fairy tale.
Alyssa, thank you so much for collaborating with me on this project and for creating a gorgeous photo shoot. It has been a true pleasure working with you on this!
Mckenzie, thank you so much for lending your gift of photography to this project. You did a wonderful job capturing the moment and telling us a story.

Why you wanted to be a part of the project: Everything is usually very materialistic in the fashion world. This project is a great way to show that there are ways you can give back with fashion. These kids are adorable and need help. So even though this is a mighty big challenge, the higher purpose is just one way I can help spread God’s love and faithfulness during Christmas. I hope others will join me on this journey!
Will you please consider donating $5 dollars today to help a child in need this Christmas season? Maybe just give up a coffee for the day? Thanks!

This is so pretty!!! I love what she wrote too! I agree about the materialism in our world. Hooray!
She’s a beauty! And I love what she wrote too. 🙂
Thank you so much, Elaini! I had a blast doing this! Still praying for more donations for the orphans.
I also forgot to mention that the feather clutch is from asos.com 🙂
Thank YOU for going above and beyond with this. 🙂 I’m praying with you that more people will donate!
I adore that dress. And I think it’s too cute that that deer just happened to stop by. The look on his face is very funny.
She’s a brilliant stylist as that is actually a dress and a skirt! Isn’t that something else that the deer stopped right there?!
Absolutely gorgeous! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Indeed it is! I love it too!
