Pretty In Pearls

Here is a look to keep in mind for a summer wedding or any other formal day-time outing. Maybe a charity benefit or a nice lunch out with the girls.  Don't be afraid to play up the floral print with a hint of floral accessories. If your going to do this I would suggest sticking to a monochromatic color scheme and not wearing all floral accessories, just a couple. We offer the Christina dress in a variety of beautiful summer colors, including light blue (featured above), royal blue, pink, green, gold, white, and black.  This dress is another one of our most versatile pieces. Dress it down with a pair of strappy flats, bamboo bangles, and a neutral toned tote bag.

Just Add Texture!

One of my favorite things about this line is that every piece in the collection can be mixed and matched with almost any style! One of my favorite things to do is work with the simplicity of the silhouette and play it up with textures. Wether you like snake skin, ruffles, or fringe you can find pieces that will work beautifully with this dress! Make sure you check out our other wardrobe necessities at Annella Designs.

Fabric shopping in New York City!

We just got back from New York City! We took a trip up there to find the newest and most beautiful fabrics around.  We found a collection of silk in the most gorgeous colors and also picked out some prints that are to die for. We are so excited to incorporate all of the colors and prints into our new Spring Collection.  Above are a couple pictures I snapped throughout the day.  Check back later this week for more summer looks!

Here is a behind the scenes peak at Annellas Fall photo shoot held this past Thursday. Lots of work and preparation went into this shoot and was well worth it!  The top picture is our fabulous model Anistasia getting her hair and make-up done. The middle picture is Jessica, one of our other favorite models to work with. That is me in the bottom picture, steaming all of the clothes and getting them ready! It was a long day but we got great shots that will make out website even more beautiful and enjoyable to shop on. The new pictures will be coming soon!

 It's not the 4th of July yet, but one of our incredible seamstresses got her US Citizenship. We just threw her a congratulations party, and it was well deserved for all of her hard work! Congratulations Jia! 

It's All About Accessorizing!

Our Fall photo shoot is finally underway! All of our accessories  are ready to go along with our fabulous Fall looks.

Fashion Sketches for Annella

The inspiration for this look was an elegant summer event you might be attending. Maybe for graduations, wedding parties, or an afternoon out with the girls.  The fabrics used for our summer collection are light weight and feel so comfortable while looking chic.

This dress is part of the Chic Basic collection. It is offered in many colors for every occasion. This dress is timeless and will be in your closet for years to come!
