Hand beaded velvet plum flower hat made to match Jean Bourget Fall 2009 Collection.

Fall is in the air and I love it!  It is my absolute favorite season: the leaves change, the days are cooler and there is a certain magic in the air.  As if that isn’t enough excitement, Fall also means new clothing and this year’s children’s boutique lines are simply fabulous!

Jenny, the ultra-hip owner of the posh Santa Rosa boutique, Cupcake, has amazing taste and has selected the most gorgeous clothing for our trendy tots this Fall season.   Rich hues of plum, chocolate, raspberry, black, moss green, navy, and scarlet dominate the girl’s color palette.   Every season Jenny and I get together and coordinate accessories for the new lines.  We have such a great time as we excitedly run around the store pairing flowers and hats with the new lines. 

Miss Anya Larre and I just dropped off our first delivery of  gorgeous blooming 2-in-1 crochet hats to perfectly match the Jean Bourget, Mimi and Maggie and Luna Luna Copenhagen Fall lines to name a few.  Anya Larre hats take the guesswork out of accessorizing your little one’s designer duds.  And because we stick to the season’s color palette they will go with a variety of outfits.

Velvet Plum 2-in-1 Crochet Hat - simply cinch the ribbon and voila...your fashionista has an adorable wristlet.

Our hats are also two accessories in one.  Your little fashionista has the option of wearing as a hat or carrying as a perfectly sized little purse.  Talk about ”flower power”!  Be sure to pop into Cupcake on 4th Street in Santa Rosa to check out the new Fall lines and don’t forget to accessorize! 

Turquoise and pink crochet hat perfectly coordinates with the Mimi & Maggie Fall 2009 Collection. Navy crochet hat made to match Luna Luna Copenhagen collection.

Cupcake, located on 4th Street in Santa Rosa, is every boutique connoisseur’s idea of heaven!  Every surface beholds a unique treasure awaiting your discovery in this very posh and neatly organized local shop.  The “Cupcakes” as they call themselves (too cute!) are as sweet as the treat they are named after, greeting you warmly and offering suggestions whenever needed.  This is such a special place!  I feel so honored to have my line carried in this first-class boutique for more than a year now. 

I just made another delivery of our Hydrangea Non-Slip Clippies, handcrafted with dainty petals in shades of white and pink, that look as if they were just freshly picked, and accented with a sparkling crystal for a little extra glam.  One of our most popular sellers, they sell out quickly.  The week of June 8th our precious clippies made it to the #1 spot in Cupcake’s coveted Top 10 Baby Gifts Sold list.  So hurry in while supplies last!

Pssst: while there, take advantage of the fabulous sale going on now with savings between 30%-50% off.  It is the perfect time to enjoy some guilt-free shopping!

Enjoy!

It is every mama’s dream come true to adorn her baby girl with everything girly the moment she arrives.  After all, we had all those years of practicing with our baby dolls!  But, for many of us, when this moment of anticipation arrives , we suddenly find ourselves scurrying to find an infant accessory that is both worthy of our precious bundle’s tiny head and comfortable at the same time. 

Anya Larre infant headbands are the perfect choice for the newest princess on the block!  Made with comfort in mind, our bands are super soft and stretchy and do not leave any marks on baby’s adorable head.  Since a plain headband simply will not do for the pint-sized fashionista, we have adorned our bands with a tiny blossom for that perfect crowning touch.  Simple.  Comfortable.  Fabulous.  It is pure perfection!

Credits: Could this photo be any sweeter?  I mean, really!!!  Fab photographer and friend, Brooke Fosnight of Fosnight-Fotography is simply the best!  Isn’t our little nine day old model just gorgeous???  She is the perfect model for our pink infant hydrangea headband.

Welcome to the Anya Larre blog!  My line really began in May of 2007 when my husband and I were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Anya Larre.   Out of three children, Anya was the only bald one in the bunch!   Both our boys were born with gorgeous locks that billowed past their ears  so we were quite surprised to find such a gleaming hairless head staring back at us.  Too excited to sleep and overjoyed with the fact we were blessed with a GIRL, I requested a myriad of supplies to be brought to my bedside in the coming days. 

To my surprise (and excitement!) I was frequently asked by other moms and staff at the hospital where I ”bought” my little one’s hair accessories.  Soon boutiques were asking to carry our line and we couldn’t think of a better name than the little miracle who inspired it all. 

I invite you to follow me as I blog about Anya Larre news: new designs, features, and specials.  We have a very exciting announcement to make and we cannot wait to share the news! 

Before I conclude my very first post I want to give a great big “thank you!” to a few very special people in my life who, through their encouragement, love and support make this all possible.  Understanding I am at risk of sounding like an Academy Award acceptance speech, I want to thank my devastatingly handsome husband, Toby, and my two darling boys, Cameron and Hunter, for being the greatest cheerleaders anyone could hope for; my mother who is always so generous with her time and doesn’t charge me for her great advice; my aunt (an amazing designer and a huge source of inspiration to me!!!) for being my first and most frequent customer; to my dear friend Kate who has given me the courage to believe in myself when I didn’t think I could; and to little Miss Anya Larre for being one of the three greatest gifts in my life and for exclaiming “PRETTY!” at the top of her lungs every time I create something new. 

All my best,

Andrea
