Classic Bristol 40mm, classic elegant timeless watch, Classy Sheffield 36mm, Daniel Wellington, review, watch

Because He’s the Sun and I am the Moon… Because we’re different but we complete each other on other levels, deliberately hidden to those around us… Because we find beauty in different things yet we share the same heart beat… Because we’re holding hands, laugh and cry together… Because we’re not always matching but we’re always in time… For everything!

And because we chose Daniel Wellington to guard our most glorious moments together… 

These are the Time Keepers that witness our history together!

Annie is wearing:

  • the Classy Sheffield watch with a timeless rose gold case of 34mm, in eggshell white which creates a perfect harmony with the exclusive Swarovski crystal index. This is Her most elegant companion for every occasion.

Mr. G is wearing:

  • the Classic Sheffield watch is different than the glamorous Classy Sheffield She adores, a minimalistic piece that proves that simple does not necessarily mean boring. And “boring” is definitely not the best description for Him.

What are your Guardians of Time, my lovelies?

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

Summer 2015 is gone now so here you have the items that made it memorable!

I want to keep it short and sweet and I will stick to “what” those were and “why” I loved them.

IMG_2951.

Beauty:

  • natural lipsticks with a bit of an oomph: the easiest to wear lip product ever the Tom Ford Seer in Smitten, plus Skinnydip and Rose Soleil from the Tom Ford 2015 Summer Collection, because Tom Ford makeup should be called “art” – period, Charlotte Tilbury Coachella Coral lipstick paired with the most amazing lip liner in Pink Venus or the infamous Pillow Talk for a more neutral look
  • bold lips made possible with a gorgeous NARS Audacious “girl” named Michiyo
  • and the ultimate fiery-red, bold, gloriously sexy and my latest obsession in terms of red lips: the Kendall Jenner X Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Matte, in Restless ( yes, that little treasure came in my possession… But more about that story soon, my lovelies! )
  • cream eyeshadows ruled my mornings and again, Tom Ford stole the show with this gorgeous Golden Peach shade, and a glorious come back of my favourite cream eyeshadow sticks – the By Terry Ombre Blackstars in 3 golden-brown variations: Blond Opal, Golden Brown and Brown Perfection ( I need to write a decent review on these as well, don’t you think my lovelies? )

IMG_2953.

  • sticking up to the “cream products” theme, they definitely were the main attraction of this Summer for me. From amazing blushers – like this gorgeous Tom Ford Pink Sand ( a Limited Edition item unfortunately! ), to cream highlighters and easy-to-use contours like the Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Glow Duo, everything worked its magic to achieve my perfect bronzed and glowy / healthy-looking Summer skin.

Skincare:

  • the one product that gave me amazing skin unconditionally was the Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil… And of course, sunscreen with the highest protection factor. You did wore your sunscreen as well Beautiful, didn’t you!?

image

Perfume this year was the easiest of choices for me

  • if the new Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil came into my life with its sensual, sexy summer scent I hardly wore my other perfumes
  • but when I did, I revisited two old favourites: my Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien – the fragrance that brings me on an imaginary olfactorial trip to the Southern Italy every time I wear it
  • and one of my old time favourites: my Chanel No. 5 Eau Première

IMG_2952.

Tools I couldn’t put down, beside my regular Tom Ford and Hakuhodo army of brushes… the NARS Yachyio Kabuki Brush one item that had waited on the top of my wish list for way too long! Still available on the NARS European website! 

Fashion favourites:

  • Musette Nude Laila Flats currently on sale, international shipping available
  • Musette Evergreen Ivoire Purse currently on sale, international shipping available
  • H&M Flowy Midi Skirt you’ll definitely see in a blog post soon.

Here they are, my fantastic collection of Summer 2015 Favourites! 

Now please, share yours!

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

OOTD #01 “I have this thing with hats!”

“A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it’s the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it’s the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat.” (Martha Sliter)

imageimage

Sign of class and style, in the past hats were some of the most adored accessories and no one left their home without wearing one! It wouldn’t have been polite! 

I simply love the classic shape, the simplicity of the lines and how versatile a hat can be! It can give personality and class to any outfit, and can tell a lot about the person who wears it! Don’t you agree?

imageimageimage

I am wearing:

ZARA Narrow Brim Hat ( similar here )

Mango Long Boyfriend Gilet ( available here )

H&M Top ( old )

Zara Suit Pants ( old, similar here )

Smiling Shoes ( available here )

Daniel Wellington Classy Sheffield Watch available for purchase on www.danielwellongtom.com with 15% off, only if you enter the discount code anniesbeautyblog before check out. Offer available until 30 September 2015.

Jewellery ( old )

Until next time, chapeau bas mes beauties! 

See you soon!

xx, Annie

Autumn report: My 2015 Must-Haves

Even if I’m beyond happy that we’re having a long Summer here in Romania, I can’t help myself but wearing those gorgeous Autumn colours… Deep browns, burnt oranges and all the reds of the spectrum have already replaced the bronzy, golden shades of this past Summer.

Here you have some of my Autumn 2015 must-haves!

Of course the first change you’ll notice will be my lipstick choice! From bold, neon-y Summer reds or glossy pinks and oranges, my picks will gravitate towards brown-ish nudes, deep reds and earthy oranges. Some of my picks are: my Tom Ford Lip Colour Shine in #05 Bare – the perfect transitional shade since it is a brown nude shade with some sparkles, the Burberry Lip Glow Nude Beige No.9 – can you tell I don’t want to let go Summer yet?!, an old favourite of mine the Givenchy Le Rouge in #103 Brun Createur, the Charlotte Tilbury Walk of Shame a gorgeous Autumn colour with one the most comfortable matte formulation I have ever tried, another Burberry option – the Lip Cover Ruby No.18 because I can’t live without my reds, the Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy in #450 Insolent Plum another favourite from last year and a new discovery thanks to my lovely Janet, who was kind enough to send it over from across the Ocean – the Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Sable.

Deeper and darker nail polish colours are must-haves for Autumn. My two favourites are Dior Nuit 1947 ( #970 ) and Mirage (#338 ), previously reviewed here.

Another must have is perfume. I’ll transition from fresh, zesty, floral perfumes like my Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien and my Chanel No.5 Eau Première to the deeper, dusty floral oriental notes of the Diptyque 34 BVLD Saint-Germain or the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae Forte.

This Autumn I have a thing with hats! I love this Zara Narrow Brim Wool Hat that goes with everything and makes every outfit look classy and chic. More options here.

I won’t let go my favourite sunnies just yet, so I will always have with me my Ray Ban Aviators. A cult favourite piece.

IMG_2949.

Another must-have is a classic, timeless watch and my choice is my Daniel Wellington Classy Sheffield watch, which you can get for yourself with a 15% off, just by entering anniesbeautyblog discount code before check out! Available until 30 September 2015 – so hurry up! More details here!

Another fashion must-have is funky shoes! Whenever I have the chance, I give up on my heels gladly just to wear this Lust of Creation crazy orange coloured oxfords, that are extremely comfortable and unique.

These are a few things I will definitely wear a lot this season! What are your must-haves, my lovelies?

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx, Annie

15% off discount code, 30 September 2015, anniesbeautyblog 15% discount code, classic elegant timeless watch, Daniel Wellington, discount code, watch

Hi again, Beautiful!
I find it rather strange to be writing to you after such a long break!
But I really needed these two months away simply to make peace with myself and Life, to grow up and become a better and wiser human!

I was away but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I was completely absent, if that makes any sense at all!!! I just chose to keep my blogging activity under a “dim light” and play the part of the spectator most of the time. And by the way, I loved so many of your blog posts! They were delicious and a real treat!
Also there were some projects I simply wasn’t able to say no to…

image

So here I am partnering for the second year in a row with my favourite brand of watches – Daniel Wellington, and offer you another amazing deal…

15% off of any of their timeless, classy and classic watches or accessories you might want to get from their website, www.danielwellington.com! You can benefit from this offer until Tuesday, 30 September 2015 by entering the discount code anniesbeautyblog at check out!

This is my special way to thank you for your surprising and constant support these past couple of months…

I owe you this!…

Thank you for being my amazing readers – because my statuses are almost intact after two months of inactivity – fact that brought me to tears and gave me the confidence I needed to be back doing what I love, and restart building up my dreams!

Forgive me for this long absence and lack of replies and please, stay assured that I will make up to you in no time!

See you soon, Beautiful!

xx as always,
Annie
