Baby, it's cold outside.

Maryanne is so happy wearing her new Suzabelle Fremont Jacket.
The coat looks so darling on her, and she was so happy when we got in her size after selling out, just in time for these nippy winter days. But what wouldn't look good on her...she's lovely.

Here's to new beginnings...

Yay! It's almost a new year.

I don't know why, but this particular year, more so than ANY other year, I have absolute faith that it's a time of hope, optimism and fresh beginnings.

Maybe it's because I need it, and I want it so.

So, here's to 2009. Cheers. I'm raising my glass high.

And, I have in these NEW, stunning, one-of-a-kind dresses from independent designer, Alyse Rađenović.

She is the amazingly creative designer behind Alesheva, one of my favorite couture dress designers.







All of these artisan dresses are in the boutique. They are $120 and truly pieces of wearable art.


Happy new year, my friends.

Please give a hug to every friend you know.






See you. My glass is raised high.

NEW independent designer: Aelisheva Couture at Anne Bocci Boutique

When the plain brown box was delivered to my boutique, I had two customers in the dressing room. I carried the box downstairs and said, "If you'd like to see some new couture dresses I just got in, we can open the box together." Well, within minutes, three of the nine dresses had been sold.




"Alyse and Sanja use different materials in a single garment, so no piece is just one kind of thing. Wools, with knits, with lace and sheers. Each dress could be framed and hung on the wall."
- Anne Bocci

"Aelisheva makes haute couture beautiful and affordable"
- Spork Fashion

"A fabulous collection replete with class, elegance, sophistication and originality"
- The Inside Scoop

"A wearable art project... beautiful and minimal"
- Fashion Frenzy

Aelisheva is Sanja Zivka Jovanovic and Alyse Radenovic
photography is by Hisae Aihara and Tom Weis
mannequin photos by the designers

Each one-of-a-kind artisan dress is $120
