ROSE AND GREY














Separated flats via Randa | Lovers + Friends Fun times jacket in natural { also here } | Club Monaco denim shirt | Cutoff studded denim shorts purchased on Melrose Avenue - { similar option here & love these cute silver star ones here  } | Proenza Schouler PS11 bag | ASOS Spike rings | Samantha Wills Beauty & the Beast bangle | Juicy Couture arrow bracelet & ring | Butter London nail polish in "Artful" 

Funny, but when denim-on-denim trend first came around, I can honestly say I wasn't particularly excited. Yet, slowly but surely, it found it's way into my closet. Now, of course, I practically live in my cut-offs and denim shirts. Seriously! :) You can observe the evince of my denim-on-denim obsession here & here

I think denim is basically my equivalent of a safety blanket: it's familiar, comfortable and comforting. The more I wear, the more I want to:) So, I abandoned any attempts to fight the urge to dress in denim head-to-toe, and simply challenge myself to try and find new ways of wearing it. 

Today's look is all about mixing denim pieces in different colors, like combining a bleached denim shirt and a pair of white denim cut-offs. And since color pretty much rules all of my outfits, I added a beautiful rose-hued utility jacket and a pair of silver-grey separated flats thanks to Randa, an awesome brand from Japan, who just launched their international on-line store, for just a bit of color. 

Thank you for reading 
& Keep On Smiling,
LOVE,

VICTORIA'S SECRET #WHATISSEXY EVENT














Rag & Bone Jefferson blazer & Ivette drawstring shorts | T by Alexander Wang matte jersey raceback tank | Gucci Victoire buckle sandals { also love this bright yellow version here } | Proenza Schouler PS11 bag | Butter London nail polish in "Jaffa"

Just wanted to share a few pics from the Victoria's Secret #whatissexy event, Emil and I attended recently. The event took place at the Shutters hotel in Santa Monica, on one of those gorgeous sunny days. We got to sip on cocktails, enjoy manis & pedis by Butter London and of course mingle with Victoria's Secret Angels - Adriana Lima, Lily Aldridge and Behati Prinsloo. A big Victoria's Secret fan, it was such a pleasure to meet the girls in person and chat about the 2013 What Is Sexy list. You can check it out by CLICKING HERE. My personal favorites are the Beach hair wave spray & VS Makeup color drama lipstick in "Whisper". How about you guys, what are your favorite What Is Sexy products?

Keep On Smiling,
Love, Annabelle
