Annelies Maria Francine never uses Photoshop to look like the timeless beauties such as Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, a flapper girl or Anne Frank. The Puers, Belgian teenager just knows that with her timeless look she can transform to just about anyone from more classic eras where impeccable hair, perfect makeup, and a stylish wardrobe were the standard.
The 17-year-old has a timeless face allowing her be a chameleon that changes seamlessly. Annelies relies on her vintage finds to bring her vision to life which she posts on her Instagram account for her over 18,000 followers. ->**Annelies Maria Francine discovered she had a classic look when she cut her hair short two years ago and everyone began to comment how much she resembled Audrey Hepburn.**<-.
Coincidentally my ‘Sabrina’ earrings came in the mail today and I figured I had try them on properly today.

This 1950s cashmere sweater came in the mail today and it reminded me so much of Audrey Horne that I simply HAD to do this.. she’s my favourite Twin Peaks character by miles.
I taped my eyebrows btw, they’re not naturally like this. ☺️ #sherilynfenn #audreyhorne #twinpeaks #eyebrowsonfleek #lol A photo posted by Annelies van Overbeek (@bewitchedquills) on May 11, 2016 at 9:51am PDT.
I can’t believe I just found this gorgeous 40s/50s knit bathing suit for only €4,-. it’s in absolute mint condition and the black hasn’t faded at all.
The brand says Mika, but I couldn’t find it anywhere online. #vintagebathingsuit #vintage #50s #40s #pinup #truevintage A photo posted by Annelies van Overbeek (@bewitchedquills) on Mar 18, 2016 at 2:51am PDT.
My Edwardian outfit is complete. I’ll have to wash the skirt and jacket though, they smell like barbecued meat.
Also forgot to put on makeup, so… #Edwardian #ragdollcat #friends_of_faces_and_style #gibsongirl #victorian A photo posted by Annelies van Overbeek (@bewitchedquills) on May 6, 2016 at 4:19am PDT.

My first pet was a gerbil named Ratje (little rat). *4. 2 years ago I cut my hair into a pixie and everyone started to tell me I looked like Audrey Hepburn, I only knew her name then, but gradually I became really obsessed with her. *5. I have 1 sister who is 1 year younger than me @marilouvanoverbeek , a brother who is 14 years younger than me and another sister who is 17 years younger than me. *6. The only sport I enjoy doing is horse riding and I started when I was 7. *7. I used to despise history the first half of high school, but when I got a different teacher it became my passion. *8. I started uni one month after my 17th birthday. *9. Bill Clinton was at my dad and stepmum’s wedding reception because he was just leaving the Amstel Hotel, where the wedding took place. *10.
I have a bit of a Diet Coke addiction. *11. My grandfather was Major General of the Belgian Airforce but I know nothing about planes. *12. I speak 3 languages fluently: Dutch, English and German. *13. I’m quite good at accents. *14. I REALLY can’t sing. *15. I wanted to be a vet since I was 3 until I discovered that I was really bad at maths. *16. I look a lot like my great grandfather and my grandmother. *17. My favourite food is Italian food. *18. I have moved houses 7 times. *19. I talk in my sleep very loudly and very often. *20. My original haircolour is blonde, but my eyebrows are black and I hardly ever fill them in.
