All Dolled Up

Spring brings warmer weather, blooming flowers and a plethora of events! Prom, Carolina Cup, weddings, and the Kentucky Derby to name a few. This marks the beginning of the southern heat that is here to stay. Time to break out the strapless dresses, open toed wedges and big hats! Anna & Alice has got you covered for each and every spring event you have on the horizon.

Whether you need something that is soft and flowy or short and sexy, we carry it! Try a faux wrap dress by Parker for an every-day look or add sky high heels and a statement necklace for an evening out. Go a little more flirty with pastels by T-bags. Look completely cute in cocktail attire by Yoana Barashi or Twelth St by Cynthia Vincent. Pair your favorite look with stunning jewelry by Sweetie Pie and Sylvia Benson.

As we inch closer to summer, light weight scarves and maxis are quickly becoming a staple! Our light and comfortable tees are ideal to put with a pair of colored skinnys or your casual jean shorts. These loose-fitting tees can also double as a great beach cover-up! Stop in today and stock up on Spring essentials!

Color Concoctions

It's time to celebrate! As March 21st rolled around we can officially retire our wool sweaters and turtlenecks! Break out the brights because the spring season is full of color! New shipments have been rolling in and with each box we open we are seeing more and more neons, yellows, greens and so much color we can barely stand it! Go ahead and get used to the idea of color blocking because it is showing up everywhere! Start with two colors, one slightly more neutral than the other. For example, if you have lime green top, block it with a darker hue on the bottom such as a deeper royal blue or navy. You can still pull in other shades, just be careful not to over-do it! If you have a lot of color throughout your outfit, make sure your shoe is a neutral. A safe choice is a nude pump or wedge. If you are a little more shy with color blocking, start by adding the pops of color through your accessories. A hot pink bangle, electric blue skinny belt, or  tangerine earrings will do the trick. You can also go bright with a great pair of colored flats or a great tinted bag.

Stop in today to see our newest arrivals. Our latest designers to come in with great hues include Jay Godfrey Yoana Baracshi, Patterson J Kincaid, and Drew! Come and add this amazing trend to your wardrobe before the color fades!

Perfect in Parker

Attention all you Parker fans, we've got shipments in! Parker is an amazing line that has a little of everything! One of the more popular items that Parker is known for is their beautifully colored and uniquely printed silk tops. They are loosely fitted and often have less than traditional prints on them such as animals or one of a kind tribal patterns. Their dresses are similar to the drape top with the same silk feel and distinguished prints. The line works with many different body shapes by incorporating pleats, flared sleeves, and a relaxed fit. You can find everything from a wrap dress to a maxi skirt.

Any fan of Parker knows that this line can take you from day to night. Much of the line is casual, but Parker also carries "night on the town" wear that includes sequins and short hem lines! If sequins aren't your thing, opt for an open back dress or bustier that can be paired with jeans or black pants! Anna & Alice is proud to carry Parker and can't wait for you to stop in and try this great line!

A Price Point for Everyone!

Anna & Alice carries an array of different designers, all with a slightly different style. Not only do we carry apparel for every occasion, but we offer these amazing styles at every price point! One that stands out is our BB Dakota line. BB Dakota was designed by a mother-daughter team. With two distinct viewpoints, they strive to create a women's line of clothing that can be both sexy and practical. All pieces are designer to be highly convertible and trend-driven. BB Dakota was founded in 2005 and then later they created the Jack by BB Dakota line. Jack is meant to target a slightly younger and edgier demographic. Between the two lines there is sure to be something for everyone. Not only have women fallen in love with the high fashion looks, they are even enthralled with the far-from high fashion price! The entire line is completely affordable and versatile. Much of the attire can be day to night. We are seeing dresses paired with biker boots to pumps! Many of the items featured in the line are considered wardrobe staples such as the LBD, layering tops, vests, and trench coats. Celebrities such as Julie Benz from Dexter, are taking note of BB Dakota's designs.


Dress like a star without spending a fortune! Stop in to Anna & Alice and stock up on BB Dakota!
