” We have the choice of two identities. The external mask which seems to be real…. and the hidden, inner person who seems to us to be nothing. “

– Thomas Merton

This mini collection is called, ” mask.” because at times, whether we realize it or not, EVERYONE can feel like they have to cover their true identities to fit into what society says is ideal. We admire celebrities, models and socialites because we think that they have it all. But in reality we are all different. We cannot be molded into just one type. We need to embrace our differences and know that we are all beautiful in our own way.

Sleeping Beauty.. Princess Aurora by TravelAnneStyle and BeMoreMedia

Sleeping Beauty

Princess Aurora was born to King Stefan and Queen Leah. This is the girl that was cursed by Maleficent on her Christening Day. On her 16th birthday she would prick her finger from a spindle and would die but was saved by one of the fairies and instead would sleep for all eternity until she is awakened by true love’s kiss. I loved that Elle Fanning was chosen to play her in the movie Maleficent opposite Angelina Jolie.

For our last Princess of our Disney inspired editorial we chose Ms. Sarah Blades to be Aurora. She is an amazing ballerina and it was such a surprise that she was actually from Maryland. We wanted someone to have the same look as Elle Fanning; sweet, innocent and youthful and Sarah was perfect.

The Little Mermaid by TravelAnneStyle and BeMoreMedia

Ariel

The Little Mermaid is another famous fairytale that Disney recreated in 1989 but the story was originally written by Hans Christian Andersen. It is a story about a young mermaid who gave up her life at sea to be able to fall in love with a human Prince. She gave up her voice for a pair of human legs. Then she has 3 days to win the heart of the Prince. This is probably my ultimate favorite Disney Princess. For this shoot we wanted to capture Ariel in our own element. What Ariel would look like in person.

When we first met Deirdre Barnes with her flaming red hair we knew right then and there that she would be perfect as Ariel. She was one of the people that inspired us to do this Disney editorial of villains and princesses. Deirdre is one of the top dancers in LA. She is also a part of the group The Aqualillies.

” Snow White ” by TravelAnneStyle and BeMoreMEdia

June 8, 2014August 10, 2015 travelannestyleLeave a comment

A girl who is as white as snow, with lips as red as blood, and with hair as black as ebony. They named her ‘Snow White’,

Snow White is Disney’s adaptation from the German fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. Snow White is a princess that is living with her cruel and wicked stepmother after the death of both of her parents. Her stepmother, the evil queen, is so jealous of Snow White’s beauty that she ordered one of her huntsman to kill her in the forbidden forest. The huntsman pitied Snow White; so he just left her there hoping that she will not survive the night. There, she found a cottage and surprisingly met 7 dwarfs.

( ** check out our version of The Evil Queen )

SNOW WHITE

Our very first princess in this series. My inspiration for this shoot came from the Snow White movie with Julia Roberts and Lilly Collins. I wanted her to be simple, innocent and young. We decided to use Brie Doffing as our Snow White. Its so happens that she has worked with Disney as one of the princesses in the Disneyland in Japan. Brie is a model/actress and one of the sweetest people you can ever meet.

For this shoot we worked with one of the best make up artists in LA, Albert Elizondo. He is amazing and really captured what we had in mind for Snow White.

“The EVIL QUEEN” by TravelAnneStyle and BEMOREMEDIA

June 4, 2014August 10, 2015 travelannestyle1 Comment

THE EVIL QUEEN

The Evil Queen or also known as, “Wicked Queen,” is the main villain in the fairy tale, “Snow White.” She is a vindictive stepmother who is obsessed about being, ” the fairest of the land.” She owns a, “magical mirror,” that told her that her step daughter, Snow White, has surpassed her beauty. She became so jealous of Snow White that she ordered one of her huntsman to kill her in the forbidden dark forest. The Hunstman pitied Snow White and let her go. When The Queen found out that Snow White was still alive, she decided to take it upon herself to kill her. She used her dark powers to transform herself into an old lady and gave Snow White a poisoned apple to eliminate her.

For this shoot we worked with the beautiful Maria Foti. She is one of the first talented dancers/choreographers here in LA that we met when we moved here to LA 9 months ago. When I thought of adding Snow White and the Evil Queen to our editorial series, I imagined Maria to be the Queen. She has that royal look to her and I thought she would be perfect.

” Ursula ” by BeMoreMedia and TravelAnneStyle

May 28, 2014August 10, 2015 travelannestyleLeave a comment

Ursula is a part human / part octopus sea witch that, “helps,” the unfortunate merfolk achieve their goals, with her motives at the forefront. She is Disney’s famous villain that made a deal with Ariel; ( The Little Mermaid ) she agreed to turn her into a human for three days. If Ariel can receive the, “kiss of true love,” from Prince Eric before sunset on the third day, her transformation will be permanent. However, if Ariel fails, she will turn back into a mermaid and belong to Ursula forever. But there’s always a price, and in this case, Ariel will have to pay Ursula with her voice to gain her human legs.

As part of the beauty editorial series we have planned for this summer we wanted to share the second villain, Ursula. For this photo-shoot we worked with one of the most talented and sought after dancers in LA, Ms. Carlena Britch. She is an artist of many talents; from dance/choreography, make up, hair, style, and nail art; she has a TON going for her!

“MALEFICENT” by TravelAnneStyle and BeMoreMEdia!!!!!!

May 20, 2014August 10, 2015 travelannestyle1 Comment

( photo cred: Disney Maleficent )

Maleficent

Maleficent is known to be one of the most sinister Disney villains. She is a character from Sleeping Beauty who curses baby Princess Aurora on her christening day; cursed so that on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on a spindle of a spinning wheel that plummets her into a deep sleep for all of eternity. The only thing that can break the spell is to be awakened by her one true love.

I have seen Angelina Jolie’s pictures all over LA and I can’t imagine anyone else better to play Maleficent. It gave me inspiration to do a series of beauty editorial shoots and we wanted to share with you this first set of the series since the movie is coming out in less than 2 weeks.

So for this photo shoot/blog, I wanted to bring out Maleficent. The couture side of her and what it would be like if BeMoreMEdia actually did her editorial. For this shoot, we worked with one of the talented artists here in LA., Valentina Azul (www.facebook.com/valentinaazul ). She is one of the make up artist and hairstylist that we go to for our clients. She is also a costume designer, and she actually did the headpiece/ outfit.

CARRIE-d AWAY!!!!

May 13, 2014May 16, 2014 travelannestyleLeave a comment

Ms. Carrie Bradshaw

Who could ever forget Carrie? I never started watching SATC until they started airing it on TBS, so I was pretty much late with all the craze. But ever since then, I have fallen in love with Carrie and the girls. The main reason is purely because of the style in the show. Each character has her own unique style and all very perfect, but my favorite of them is Carrie’s style. I love that she is not afraid to play around with fashion. She can literally wear anything and look amazing. She is the kind of girl that dresses for herself and does not care what anyone will think of her. But then again, anything you wear with Louboutins will look great. So for this post I would like to dedicate this to my favorite style guru, Ms Carrie Bradshaw.

**I summed up the top 4 of my favorite outfits from the show and decided to put a spin on it.

” the Fannypack ( gucci ) “

I can still remember the episode when she wore the infamous fanny pack. She visited Aiden at his bar ( that he owned with Steve ) and there she caught him flirting with one of the bartenders. This was the second time they got together after Carrie cheated on him with Mr. Big. Aiden was trying to get back at her for what she did. Anyway, the moment she walked in with the orange striped skirt and the fanny pack, I wanted to buy that bag for myself. I love love that outfit. It was so effortlessly cool.

*For my outfit I used a high waisted pencil skirt from http://www.TopShop.com since I really do not have the abs to match her outfit. I chose strappy heels from Proenza Schouler that I purchased in ’08 from http://www.Barneys.com to add a bit of sporty twist to it.

top: Topshop

skirt: Topshop

bag: Gucci

” The Tulle “

Can you recognize this scene? Carrie in Paris. Where for the first time in history Mr. Big finally told her she was the ONE. ( also, this was the scene where she realized that she made a mistake with Alexander Petrovsky and he accidentally slapped her ).

I loved the Tulle skirt but I do not or would feel too comfortable with the material. So for this outfit I decided to wear an A line skirt of the same color as hers, except its made out of Cotton. I also decided to wear a longer style coat, unlike her blazer.

skirt: Anthropologie

tank: Express

coat: Elie
Tahari

shoes: Manolo Blahnik

clutch: Louis Vuitton

” Off the shoulders “

This was the last episode of the 1st season where Carrie and Big supposedly about to go on vacation together. She had a moment where she asked Big if He could see her as being ” the One. ” Well If you saw this then you would know that this was the 1st breakup they ever had of so many.

The biggest thing that stands out from all of Carrie’s outfits, her shoes. With this outfit I decided to wear my yellow Louboutins against the black and white. She always makes sure that her shoes is the center of her outfits.

skirt: Ann Taylor ( actually got this from my mom-in-law’s closet. This was her skirt in the 90s )

top: Topshop

heels: Christian Louboutin

clutch: Vintage Gucci

” Oscar de la Renta “

This dress was perfection. If I had couple grand with me when I first saw this episode, I would have bought this dress. This was the perfect pink dress. I have to give some points to Mr. Petrovsky for giving her this.

I was at Topshop couple nights ago and I actually saw this dress on their prom section. Its as perfect as hers but with lesser price tag.

dress: http://www.Topshop.com ( $100 )

jacket: Zara

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did making it. This made me miss Sex and the City more. Thank you Patricia Field ( Stylist of the show ) for all the amazing and beautiful outfits you have made for Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. She truly is the reason why the show got the best style. So girls, have fun and dress for you.

Parisian Chic… Style and Book blog!!!!

November 8, 2013November 8, 2013 travelannestyle2 Comments

A guide to Parisian Chic

Whether or not you’ve had the chance to visit Paris; This book is the only guide you will ever need. Celebrity and model Ines de la Fressange takes you on a trip of a lifetime with her book. She shares the well-kept secrets of how Parisian women maintain effortless glamour and a timeless allure.

” Parisian style is an attitude, a state of mind.”

Parisian loves to mix luxury and affordable pieces and never worry about what is trending. She knows that she will never go out of style. Her biggest tip is: Fashion should always be fun.

The entire book is not only a guide on Parisian style, but it tackles everything else from beauty tips, home decor, how to organize your closet and of course favorite places to eat in Paris. This book inspired me so much that I had to blog about her tips on the, “Not so Basic,” things you only need in your closet. The Parisian builds her look around fabulous basics.

The Blazer

( photo cred: Parisian Chic book )

The masculine/feminine and not the masculine/masculine. You have to know how to give it that feminine touch. For my outfit I chose skinny dark jeans with some sexy booties. Add a belt then push up the sleeves- for the ultimate, “easy chic,” statement. I actually got mine from a thrift shop in Philly. This was a boys school blazer.

** fashion faux pas: A miniskirt with a masculine blazer. An ultra feminine skirt kills the jackets impact.

The Trench

( photo cred: Parisian Chic book )

Roll up or push up the sleeves and scrunch the collar to make it less rigid. It should look like you’ve been wearing it forever, like second skin. I bought this trench coat in the Burberry flagship store in London. It was the perfect souvenir of my travel.

** fashion faux pas: The military look. Never over emphasize the “wartime” trench aspect of your coat.

A navy sweater

( photo cred: Parisian Chic book )

( I chose a gray one since it looks better on me than navy )

A clean cut simple v-neck style can we worn with almost anything. For day look you can wear flats and at night just switch to heels and a bunch of bangles ( think “click” not bling )

** fashion faux pas: None really. It’s risk free look.

The Tank

( photo cred: Google and Parisian Chic book )

( I chose a white tee instead. It’s more forgiving than a tank. They are both universal and a “must have” for every closet. )

Keep it simple: white, black, gray or navy.

( old blog post: The Plain White TEE https://travelannestyle.com/2013/06/27/the-plain-white-tee/ )

The Little Black Dress

( Photo cred: Parisian Chic book )

The little black dress is not just an item of clothing, it’s universal, a concept, and an abstract. It’s an open secret: it can save a day from whatever situation wherever you are and whatever season. Every girl should have one good black dress that makes you feel gorgeous.

Ballet flats: https://www.facebook.com/Shubizz

The essential look: simplicity with a dose of elegance.

I actually got this dress from my mother-in-law. It’s the perfect shift dress that can be dressed up or down and very comfortable.

The Perfect Jeans

We may have dozens and dozens of pair of jeans but we only have a few favorites. A perfect pair of jeans is something that fits you good and comfortable .

” Jeans are never too risky; they’re a bit like salt. They go with everything! “

The Leather Jacket

( Photo cred: Google and Parisian Chic book )

Guaranteed to save any overly conventional look. I actually found this jacket online at Asos and I have been wearing it every year. The color is easy to match and the style gives it a bit of rock and roll.

“You don’t need to be born in Paris to have Parisian Style. Parisian steps lightly around the fashion traps of the day. She follows a few golden rules. ”

outfits details:

Blazer : vintage

Trench: Burberry

Sweater: Express

White Tee: Jcrew

Black Dress: Vintage

Jeans: Citizens of Humanity

Leather jacket: Asos
