Anya Hindmarch ~ All I ever wanted

Anya Hindmarch has re created her first London Fashion Week show in the Christmas windows of Selfridges this season, and what a perfect match it makes, seeing as the 'All I Ever Wanted' collection is inspired by the excited feeling a child experiences when looking through a toy shop window at Christmas! Our favourites from the collection are the Ebenezer (worn by Anya herself below) the Marano dancer clutch and the Tiny Tim tote. Call 01284 706944 for enquiries regarding the Anya Hindmarch collection and click here to read more about the inspiration for the witty collection from a previous post.

New this season ~ Bodyfrock

New to ANNA this season is Bodyfrock - a brand that creates dresses that are engineered to enhance your finest features thanks to a special control lining invisible from the outside. There is no way anyone can look bad in one of these dresses - 'the inside lining should fit slim and taught like a corset', smoothing out any lumps and bumps, delivering confidence every wear! My favourite line from a recent customer who bought the dress pictured below - "This is exactly what I was aiming to look like by the end of my diet!"

Please visit in store to view the Bodyfrock collection, the range is stocked in Saffron Walden and Harpenden and will be available online soon. Alternatively, if the range is not stocked in your local store, we can arrange for each style in your size to be sent over for you to try.
Please call 01582 713888 for all enquiries.

Watch out for the pretty 'Lisa' lace dress which is set to arrive very soon - perfect for the party season!

Bodyfrock snake print dress £149.

IMPORTANT: How to get into a body frock dress. Whatever you do, do not try and put it on over your head!
