(Jacket - Kinder Aggugini, previously seen here, Dress - Marc by Marc Jacobs, previously seen here, Cheetah Covet Bag - Rebecca Minkoff, Miista Adira Boots - solestruck.com, Jewelry - J Crew, YSL Arti Ring)

I would like to start by announcing the winner of  Etiika Jewelry GIVEAWAY. Congratulations to Mihaela from http://mfashionfreak.blogspot.com, I hope you enjoy the jewelry just as much as I do!

If you read my blog on regular basis, you may have noticed a lot of red in some of my latest post. I suppose I am going through one of my phases... The color red happens to be my latest obsession. This Marc by Marc Jacobs dress isn't new but long-time a favorite. Usually timid and calm, I get an urge to dance and twirl whenever I put it on. 

Speaking of red, with Winter Holidays right around the corner, I am excited to say Emil and I are finally getting our Christmas tree this weekend. This year we are a little behind, usually by this time the whole house is decorated but we've been so busy we had to neglect some of our Holiday responsibilities:) How about you guys, are you done decorating or still procrastinating like I am?

I hope you are all having a fantastic week,

Love,

Annabelle

STRAWBERRY SORBET

Yet another gorgeous find from Lulus.com. I fell in love with this dress from the moment I saw it. You know how much I love bright colors and pleating... Great for summer, I think this dress will be perfect for fall too, paired with a wool coat, perhaps in camel. What do you guys think?

Hope you are having a lovely weekend,

Kisses,

CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH

If you follow my blog regularly, you know what a big fan I am of Lulus.com. I like the fact that they constantly get new things in, the selection is always amazing and prices are great. So, last week I noticed  these shorts and just couldn't resist the urge. I mean, I never had a pair of gold shorts before but what a fabulous little item to have in your closet. Once I put them on, they literally transformed my lazy little Sunday afternoon into a fun night out. Emil called me "Fancy Pants" the entire day, oh well Miss Fancy Pants had a fabulous time and got a compliment from the bartender. And I know, I know, she may have been bias, but I choose to believe she really did like my shorts:)

Hope you all have a fantastic week,

Love,

Annabelle

BECAUSE THE SUMMER IS NOT OVER!

(Dress - Lulus.com, Bag - Asos, Shoes - Giuseppe Zanotti, YSL Arti Ring, Kitson Necklace) 

No, no, no, no!!! I simply refuse to believe that Summer is over! Honestly I really tried this year, I mean I looked at leopard print, I played with burgundies and browns, I tried on a few very cute winter jackets, jeez, I even bought a pair of fabulous dark purple pumps. Basically all of my usual tricks for making this transition a little less difficult, surely shoes alone should have done it:) Yet nothing! I suppose I am simply not ready to let go just yet. So, I bought this dress and fully intend to wear it well into December, ok maybe November:) 

If I can wear open-toe shoes it's still Summer, right?

Love,

Annabelle

TOYING WITH TRANSPARENCY

(Love Asymmetrical Dress - inlovewithfashion.com, Alexander Wang Noemi Booties, Asos Bag, Forever 21 Necklace, YSL Arti Ring)

I got this dress the other day and I have to say I am absolutely in love. The asymmetrical hem, the sheerness of the fabric and of course the color all come together to create, what in my opinion is, a perfect dress. I decided to pair it with boots to sort of edge it out a little and to also give the outfit a little more weight. But of course the possibilities are endless, the other day I had it over a one-piece bathing suit and a pair of metallic flats for casual cocktails at the beach. Now I'm thinking a nice leather jacket and a pair of high-heeled booties, for those cooler Fall days. What do you think? 

I wanted to thank everyone for their sweet emails and comments in light of my recent surgery. I can honestly now say I am 100 percent back to my normal self. Much in opinion due to your constant support, which means more, to me, than words can describe.

Love,

Annabelle
