(Blouse - Billabong, Zara blazer & heels, jeans old - similar here & here, 3.1 Phillip Lim Minute clutch,  Asos spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one, A pendant albeitjewelry.com)



Hey Everyone,

I would like to thank you for your continued support and for your wonderful emails. You words of encouragement mean the world to me and I just want to say again that if you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me an email:) I also want to take this opportunity to answer some of the more frequent questions.

1. I'm really not that tall:) I'm about 5.8. High heels are real miracle workers, huh:)

2. Yes, my friends borrow my clothes, shoes and bags all the time. I believe in sharing:)

3. I don't wear a lot of makeup. I hate foundation and never wear it, but I do like a bit of bronzer. I am a complete mascara and eye liner addict. YSL Noir Haute Densite mascara and Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel liner are my favorite ones. 

4. Favorite cafe in LA is Urth Caffe Santa Monica. I recommend trying Green Tea Boba and cherry pie. And they make an amazing cup of coffee:)

5. Breakfast at Tiffany's is my favorite movie of all time. Audrey Hepburn is timeless. 

6. I am a shoeaholic, I love shoes, I just can't help it! In fact I just bough a new pair today:)

7. I do exercise, I run and do Yoga. Started running a few years ago, and it was really hard at first, but now I'can't live without it. 

8. If I wasn't a fashion blogger, I think I would love to be a fashion designer. I have a ton of sketch books at home full of ides for clothes, shoes and jewelry:)





Love,
Annabelle

NEIMAN MARCUS EDDIE BORGO EVENT HOSTED BY MEREDITH MELLING BURKE












 (Gryphon studded trench, 3.1 Phillip Lim slim stretch canvas pants, Alexander Wang Noemi booties, 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli satchel, Eddie Borgo overlapping triangle bracelet & large cone bracelet)

First, I would like to congratulate Victoria from This English Rose with winning Jennifer Zeuner Necklace giveaway. Hope you enjoy it!

In other news, Emil and I had the  pleasure of attending Neiman Marcus Eddie Borgo event hosted by Meredith Melling Burke. Since I am a big admirer of Eddie Borgo jewelry, it was absolutely amazing to meet Eddie in person. Charming and charismatic, Eddie draws inspiration for his designs from American costume jewelry, history of Rock and Roll and New York City. 

His SS12 line, is an embodiment of cool elegance with an edge, heavy on geometric shapes in rose, white, yellow and black metals accentuated by colored gemstones. 

My favorite piece from his SS12 collection is a cone bracelet with lavender gemstones, really didn't think it was possible to combine edge and femininity so effortlessly. How about you guys, which one is your favorite?

Special thank you to Lisa Rodman from Neiman Marcus for inviting me, it was an unforgettable experience.
Wishing you all a wonderful week,
Love,
Annabelle

GAGA FOR GREEN









(Zara sweater & heels, Jeans - old, similar here & here,  Asos spike link bracelet, also loving this one, Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag, other cute shades here & here, JCrew bracelets)


Hey Everyone,

I want to take this opportunity to ask for your help because I am facing a true hair emergency. I've been using the same shampoo for the past 6 years. Before I found Fresh Milk & Rose shampoo my hair always looked like a tangled mess, but once I started using it my hair became pretty silky and manageable. Well, about 3 weeks ago I found out it's being, gasp, discontinued!!!!  I am down to my very last bottle and I can't find it anywhere!!!! So, if anyone knows a pretty good moisturizing shampoo I am completely open to your suggestions. 


Oh, and I continue on my quest to wear every shade of green imaginable. I am pretty gaga for green lately:) 


Have a lovely weekend, 
Love,
Annabelle

VIVALUXURY FOR CAMP BEVERLY HILLS

Recently Emil and I had the pleasure of collaborating with one of the most iconic American sportswear brands. Camp Beverly Hills was the first to successfully brand California lifestyle and create an absolute frenzy around T-shirt dressing. The brand became an overnight sensation and attracted some of the biggest celebrity names like Drew Berrymore and Barbara Streisand. 

In celebration of the brand's re-launch in 2012, Emil and I shot a Camp Beverly Hills lookbook inspired by some of California landmarks: Santa Monica, Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood and the Hollywood Sign. We got to style 4 outfits around 4 concepts: Casual Beachy, Effortless Cool, Athletic and Glam Rocker. I might be a little biased but I find it very difficult to pick a favorite:) Which one do you guys like the most?

Also, I am including a behind the scenes video from our shoot, so you can finally see what a goof-ball I really am! Hope you like it!

P.S. Camp Beverly Hills is giving away the Sunset Tank Top, Roxburry Charcoal Shorts and Wilshire Zip Hoody I was wearing for the athletic inspired look, like their Facebook page by CLICKING HERE to ENTER.
