IN ANTICIPATION OF CELEBRATION...

(Dress - Robert Rodriguez, Clutch - Love Moschino, Heels - Dolce & Gabbana, Ring & Bracelet - Samantha Wills)

I am very excited to team up with CHICISIMO to co-host a very special Christams 2011 Game.  With the Holiday season in full swing, seems like we are in for some serious dressing up. So, starting today until January 5th 2012 we invite you to share your favorite Holiday looks on Chicisimo Christmas Events webpage. I will have the pleasure of choosing 3 of my favorite looks, which will be published on this blog once the event is over. 

My choice is this little black dress with a twist, which is becoming a clear favorite. I find that I am really attracted to a mix of hard and soft fabrics, so when I saw a leather dress with a chiffon skirt I simply couldn't resist. Even for special events, I don't like to fuss with my hair too much, I either wear it down or in a messy side braid. I completed my outfit with a cute mini clutch and a pair of black and gold wedges. 

I look forward to seeing your Holiday looks

Best Wishes,

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

Green Day

On Thursday my girls and I decided to go out for dinner and drinks. We don’t always dress up for dinners but the weather was so lovely we just couldn’t miss this opportunity. Emil and I snapped these right before I was getting ready to leave. I have to say, I like taking pictures at sunset, the light is so soft and forgiving… Plus, the colors come out so much brighter and I really wanted the green in the dress to show. This is one of my favorite dresses, I got it a few months ago and I am wearing it nonstop! Robert Rodriguez makes wonderful, comfortable, elegant and very easy to wear clothes. If I could, I would buy every single item from his collection. You’ve already seen these shoes, but like I said before I wear things I love to death. So, please forgive meJ

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend,

Love,

Annabelle

Ray of Light

One of my favorite trends this season is the color orange. So, when I saw this bag I just couldn’t resist! I am a huge fan of Chloe bags period, plus I was looking for a fun orange bag. I justify this one to myself because it works with right about everything! Makes all my monochromatic outfits so much more for fun! Emil and I went to Marina del Rey to shoot these pictures and the weather was simply amazing! A perfect balance between the warmth of the sun and coolness of the wind. A rare gem of day! Hence the stupid grin on my face, I am always cold so on a day like this I just cannot help but smileJ I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Love,

Annabelle

Sun on my skin, song in my heart...

Ahhh, finally we are enjoying some good weather in LA. The sun is out, the temperatures are rising and I am beginning to feel like summer is around the corner! Sorry for the lack of posts this week, work has been kind of crazy. Normally when I come home I have plenty of time to do some blogging, but for the past week I’ve been putting in a lot of overtime, so I when I finally get home I just crash! Wednesday I came home around 8, decided to take a nap and woke up next morning! Some nap, huh? J But, things are finally getting back to normal, so I promise to post more!!!

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend,

Love,

Annabelle
