Today's fabulous gift guide was created by the talented fashion stylist behind Coco Canal. Melina has a one-of-a-kind style that's loaded with panache, she has an eye for accessories and a finger on what's next. Melina is also one of the artists behind Alegria, a non-profit collective dedicated to creatively investing in orphanages in the Andean regions of South America.
