Classic nylon slim Alicia Keys running shoes via Reebok | GapFit drawstring shorts& high impact sports bra | Camp Beverly Hills Wilshire zip hoody | American Apparel leg warmers - sold out { cute ones here } | Essie nail polish in "In the Cab-Ana"

Hey Everyone,

I am absolutely thrilled to team up with Reebok to share #LIVEWITHFIRE project with you. The campaign celebrates the idea of living each day with fire, passion and intensity and empowering others to do the same. CLICK HERE to listen to Alicia Keys talk about living with fire or share your own story to inspire others.

As for me, I started running about 7 years ago. When I ran for the first time, I couldn't go for more than a minute. I felt so dizzy and out of breath after... But I stuck to it, and over the next few months I continued to run everyday, slowly increasing time as I got more comfortable. Six months later, I was running for about an hour at least 5 days a week. Now, I can't imagine my life about it! It's been with me through good times and bag and at the end of the day nothing puts things in perspective for me quite like a good run does! How about you guys, how do you stay active?

Santorini dress via Tailor & Stylist | Gucci Victoire ankle-strap sandals | Clare Vivier  foldover clutch via StefaniBags | Vanessa Mooney Beloved Siri statement necklace | Truth and Pride leather jacket - sold out { similar here } | Nordstrom enamel bangles - sold out { similar options here & here } | Oscar de la Renta Cabochon earrings 

Another one of those outfits comprised entirely out of current or long-time favorites. The jacket is almost a year old, I got it last Summer and it's still one of my favorites. I love everything about it, the fit, the quality, and of course the color. Bright orange perforated leather, ummm..... yes, please! The heels are a fairly new acquisition, always on a lookout for a pair of great black sandals, I fell in love with these ones from the moment I saw them. Simple, yet special enough to look great with anything from distressed denim to cocktail dresses. My latest find and a new current favorite is this pleated Tailor & Stylist dress. I love pieces that combine comfort and style, and this one, is not only gorgeous but also feels great on, which is not an easy task to achieve. But knowing that, Tailor and Stylist was founded by a tailor husband and a fashion stylist wife, definitely explains why fit and style blend together so well! 

If you love this dress as much as I do, you're in luck, because Tailor & Stylist is offering VivaLuxury readers a 10% discount, all you need to do is simply enter Vivaluxury10 at checkout. Tailor and Stylist is also offering Free Shipping on all orders and exchanges.

Gold star cuff, crystal gold pave bar, lavender twin cuff,  silver metal spike, crystal bar bracelet all via Jewel Be Mine | Boulee rose eyelet skirt | Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic coated sweatshirt | Monika Chiang Faiza cuff sandals | Proenza Schouler Ps11 shoulder bag | Sephora + Pantone Color Code Prismatic eyeshadow  



I don't think my obsession with jewelry is a particularly big secret. To me, jewelry is an essential part of an outfit, and I don't think I can complete a look without it. As much as I love necklaces and earrings, bracelets happen to be my particular weakness. Something about a bit of sparkle on a wrist makes me feel so girly and pretty... My favorite way of wearing bracelets is of course layering, the more the merrier, I say! And a proper arm party, basically combines bracelets of various shapes, sizes and textures. Today's arm party comes courtesy of Jewel Be Mine, one of my favorite shopping destinations for trendy jewelry and accessories. Aside from great prices, I like that Jewel Be Mine offers a variety of different styles, so whether I'm shopping for something edgy or sophisticated, I know I will definitely find something I love:)!  

How about you guys, which jewelry pieces do you love? Necklaces, earrings, bracelets or perhaps all of the above?

Love,
Annabelle

Modena jacket via The Extreme Collection | Bottega Veneta: Turquoise Fire Sunset sandals - sold out { similar here } | True Religion Love & Haight Joe cut-off shorts | Zara top | Marc by Marc Jacobs clearly top handle shoulder bag | Gold star cuff, crystal gold pave bar, lavender twin cuff,  silver metal spike, crystal bar bracelet all via Jewel Be Mine

Hey Everyone,


My friend Belen from B* a la Moda and I, are at it again! From our previous posts together, last time we had a blast styling a beautiful ASOS skirt (See my post HERE and see Belen's post HERE), you know, we pick an item both of us love, then create an outfit to showcase our individual style. 

THE CHALLENGE: This time, our challenge was to style a gorgeous bright turquoise The Extreme Collection jacket, made by a craftsman in Spain. And if you love this piece as much as Belen and I do, you are in luck, because The Extreme Collection offers International Shipping!

MY LOOK: I love to combine dressy and casual pieces in the same outfit, which is why I paired a tailored, richly-embelished jacket with cut-off denim shorts. And because bright colors happen to be my particular weakness, to maximize the impact of turquoise, I added a pair of heels in a matching colors and a bright-red bag for a fun twist on a primary color palette!

BELEN'S LOOK: Now onto Belen's look, love how B paired a bright turquoise blazer with a beautiful mainly-white skirt! The hint of the same turquoise in the print of the skirt pulls two pieces together to create an ensemble. On the side note, please raise your hand if you are also obsessed with Belen's skirt:) Seriously, how gorgeous is it!!!! I also love that Belen kept her accessories neutral, thereby keeping all of the attention on the bright blazer and pretty printed skirt! 



To see Belen's complete look, please CLICK HERE to visit her blog!




Hope you enjoyed our post and we will see you again soon!

Super excited to be featured on Denim Dossier this week wearing my favorite 7FAM shorts - CLICK HERE to see the complete feature. I've been completely denim obsessed lately, and these shorts are definitely one of those perfectly slouchy, distressed-just-enough, can't-live-without pairs. Still loving the denim-on-denim look, I prefer to introduce a contrasting color or colors into my outfits whenever I dare to wear a Canadian Tuxedo:) This time, I decided to add a gorgeous bright orange leather jacket mainly because the combination of orange and blue has always been one of my favorites, and I think denim and leather were made to wear together. I also wanted to add a bit of an edge to this look, which is why I opted for a pair of mirrored shades and an absolutely insane-looking pair of Monika Chiang heels. I swear, I am never taking these heels off:)!

Love,

I would like to start by announcing the winner of RED Valentino Luisa Via Roma International GIVEAWAY. Congrats to Ilaria Tomasso from Italy, hope you love this bag as much as I do!

I also wanted to share a few of my favorites from another trip to Palm Springs, Emil and I recently took. Both of us love coming here, so we were ecstatic when we finally managed to carve out some time to get away. Don't know about you guys, but I can definitely do the lounging-by-the-pool, tanning, sipping-on-a-cocktail thing anytime:), especially if the pool is as nice as it is at the hotel Riviera Palm Springs. Of course, I may have overdone it just a bit this time! Don't really know if you can tell from the pics, but I managed to get a pretty good sunburn on my back and shoulders. Definitely using better sunscreen next time!:)

In other news, I am super excited to announce Club Monaco, one of my favorite brands of all time, teamed up with Tumblr to launch a first ever online look-book. Growing up in Toronto, Club Monaco was always a great source of inspiration and definitely my go-to store for anything from perfect cotton tees and delicate silk dresses to best-fitting jeans and pants. Club Monaco's Culture Club Tumblr blog will allow you to become your own fashion editor and let you see and share looks months before they will be available in stores! So definitely check it out by CLICKING HERE

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?

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 Londonnail 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

Lovers + Friends asymmetrical dress { in another color here& different style here } | Coach Leighann sandals { in natural & black here } | Samantha Wills anchor bangle | Vanessa Mooney Lynx cuff& Unity ring | House of Harlow pyramid ring 

I call this one my happy dress... Fun print and fun cut, combined together in one unbelievably gorgeous dress! I also have a soft spot for garments that move, and this one definitely does in the most amazing and graceful manner. Just a few steps, and the skirt comes to life, floating and dancing around you like an exotic tail. Naturally, whenever I put it on, twirling around is pretty much a must! :)

I am always surprised at the difference of opinions whenever Jacaranda trees start to blossom across Los Angeles. Some people find shedding of the flowers messy, others are indifferent, I personally love this time a year. There is something magical about walking under a canopy of lavender Jacarandas, on a ground covered with vibrant purple-bluish petals. And since Jacaranda trees bloom for only about 2 months a year, I never miss an opportunity to walk on the streets lined with these beautiful trees. And take blog photos of course:) 


Thank you for reading,
Keep On Smiling,

Annabelle
