SAN DIEGO DIARY | RED DAY

(Coat - JCrew, Pants - BCBG, Top - Zara, Affair Small Quilt & Stud Bag - Rebecca Minkoff, Jewelry - JCrew, ShopBelina.com)

Have you ever noticed how certain colors have this unique ability to transform your mood. Whenever I wear bright red, I feel especially cheery and giddy, like I am part of wonderful celebration. 

Well, last Sunday I had an occasion to celebrate indeed. Emil and I went to San Diego to visit my Sister in Law, who is currently attending a Law School there. Even though San Diego is only a short trip away from LA, I feel like we don't make it as often as we'd like. We both miss her dearly and get very excited whenever we get to see her. 

We spend a wonderful day together, walking, shopping, stuffing our faces and simply catching up. If you are ever in San Diego you should definitely visit Extraordinary Deserts, one of the best cafes in town, at least in my opinion. As you may have guessed from the name of the place, best deserts ever:)

Hope you week is going well,

Love,

Annabelle

PERFECT DAY | CREATE YOUR OWN WIND

Emil and I took these last week, it was one of those perfect days, the sun was shining, the wind was blowing lightly and it seemed like the whole world was smiling around us:) 

I bought this bag that morning, saw it in the store and simply couldn't resist. Studs make me weak....

And of course a new bag always makes my day. 

I am very happy to let you know that a new GIVEAWAY I've been hinting at, is well on it's way and is scheduled for late November. I don't want to say too much but I promise you will love this one! I will let you know more in the following posts:)

Also, I wanted to thank you all so much for your continued support and sweet comments. Words cannot express how much your feedback means to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love,

Annabelle

Rebecca Minkoff Party Hosted by Agyness Deyn

Agyness is such a style icon, I am completely in love with her gorgeous outfit. I guess we both like animal print:)

The beautiful and stylish LA crowd...

Lauren Conrad is absolutely gorgeous and sweet! 

I am such a huge fan of Dexter, meeting Jennifer Carpenter was such a huge honor. 

Jayma Mays from Glee had this fantastic belted purple blazer on, I wanted to steel it right off of her:)

Check out Rebecca Minkoff's HOT pregnancy style! Those heels are so fantastic! I had my eye on them for a while!

I want them all!!!

STUDS!!!!  

Did you guys really think I could leave without trying a pair of boots on!  They will be mine!

Ah, the changing rooms transformed into retro phone booth. So, after a few, ok 2, glasses of champagne Emil and I had some fun!

These are my mostly-sitting-around shoes! 

The End:)

I had a pleasure of being invited to the Rebecca Minkoff Party at Confederacy hosted by Agyness Deyn.  It was such a spectacular night.I am a huge fan of her bags and shoes and  I was completely blown away by her gorgeous ready to wear line. A brilliant mix of easy separates in luxurious fabrics. Amazing prints and cuts! I have a feeling you will be seeing quite a bit from her line on my blog in the future.

      I just wanted to thank everyone for participating in ROMWE Retro Bag Giveaway! 

The GIVEAWAY ends August 15, 2011, so there is still plenty of time to join. 

I wish everyone the best of luck!

Hope you all have a great weekend,

Love,

Ananbelle

BOHO SURRENDER

Ah, we've been blessed with such amazing weather for this 4th of July weekend. Emil and I went on a little hike in Malibu. I know my choice of footwear is completely inappropriate, as usual:) Last time I was hiking here I had 7 inch heels on, so I guess this is progress!
I wanted to show you my current favorite bag. I've been obsessing over it for a while and finally it arrived!!! Isn't it an absolutely perfect summer bag?! Rebecca Minkoff makes the most wonderful, stylish and gorgeous bags!

I wanted to remind you DAMA HANDBAGS GIVEAWAY is ending on Friday July 8, so there is still time to participate! Everyone is welcome and I will ship anywhere in the world!

Love you all,
Annabele
