Pasadena Roses...

On Saturday, Emil and I took a trip to a beautiful town of Pasadena and came across a gorgeous Rose garden. It was completely empty and we took our time walking around and later on had a cup of tea in a gazebo. As we sat in the garden we talked about how little, simple things make us happy and bring peace to our hearts.  A lovely, sunny day, enjoying a conversation with a friend, drinking mint tea surrounded by roses in every imaginable color. Our lives get so hectic; places to go, things to do. Sometimes it’s nice to sit back and see how beautiful life really isJ

So, I hope you take the time to smell the roses,

Love,

Annabelel

Second of all, I would like to congratulate Re-becah from Vicio de Menina as a winner of Belina bracelet! I hope this little piece of California brings you joy.

Now, on to today’s outfit, black and white are my go to colors, I feel the most comfortable when I wear this combination.  I got this sweater on sale for $15.00 and I love it! I have a feeling you’ll be seeing it a lotJ! Hey you can’t say no to a great deal!

I hope most of you are done with exams by now and if you’re not, just hang onJ

Color Blocking

As soon as I saw this Zara skirt I was completely in love! Great shape and color, so easy to wear and works with everything. I’ve been shopping so much at Zara lately, I just love this year’s collection, the colors and styles are absolutely gorgeous!

I am excited to show you my new pair of shoes! I got these from Giltgroupe.com about a week ago and I am completely in love. Normally Casadei are pretty pricy but Guilt has new Casadei styles every few weeks and at a fraction of a price. And you know me, I can’t resist a good deal on shoesJ BTW, Guiltgroupe doesn’t sponsor me, I just wanted to share a really cool shopping site with you, check them out if you are looking for good deals on designer items.

I noticed that a lot of you are going throw finals right now, so I wish everyone the best of luck! Just remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel, all will be swell soon, summer is almost here!

Love,

Annabelle

Animal Instincts

So, I am back from Palm Springs! It was such an amazing, relaxing trip, I honestly can’t wait to go back. Three whole days full of lounging by the pool, working on my tan and cocktails with little umbrellas. But I am glad to be back to LA and to blogging, of courseJ

I am wearing my new favorite bracelet Belina, I recently discovered this brand and I simply can’t get enough of their gorgeous pieces. I love fashion forward, statement jewelry and I was glad to find it at Belina in abundance of colors, textures and price points. BTW, if you like this bracelet and Belina stay tuned because it’s going to be a featured on my very first giveaway, coming up in the next few days.

P.S. I wanted to personally thank everyone who responded to my SOS about disappearing posts. Thank you all so much, you really put my mind at ease. It is absolutely incredible how kind, lovely and supportive blogger community is. So, once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Keep on smiling,

Annabelle

On the Way to Paradise Cove

This Saturday the weather was beautiful so Emil and I decided to go Paradise Cove in Malibu. Paradise Cove is a wonderful place right on the beach, famous for great sea food, breathtaking sunsets and ice cold beer! Our fiends introduced us to this little heaven and we can’t seem to get enoughJ

I got this leather skirt from H&M for only $24.00 and I simply adore it! I love wearing it with different blouses or cropped sweaters, sandals or booties! This Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt is my absolute favorite, I feel like the funky print in the front gives it a bit of an edge! And of course my new treasure, the Phillip Lim bag, I’ve been lusting over for months now, is finally mine! Bows and studs, soft and hard, you know me I love the dualityJ

Happy Easter Everyone!

I hope you are enjoying your week,

Love,

Annabelle
