Riding The Rails With ANEXX

Inspired by the breezy casual styles of the latest footwear release from ANNEX, footwear created by Machang Pichot of AOHARU, I decided to head out to the Plains and test out 3 great new pairs. Starting with a Western Boot that has ample fringe, and eye catching metal stud details around the leg opening, the Fringe Western Boots are sure to please with their slightly worn look and gently shaped foot.

Next came a very feminine little ballet flat, covered in an all over floral embroidered fabric, a sweet bow and leather trimming make it perfect for wearing with casual summery dresses or jeans. The shoes come with versions for the updated SL viewer, including a sweet sock-in version (not shown here). I choose the very special Payton Dress from DCNY Clothing Co. (short version) and paired it with a cropped leather jacket from AOHARU for this part of my journey.


Finally, as I climbed back on board the footwear express... the Bow Ballet Flats were just the thing to travel home in comfortable style, with a cute sculpted bow on the back. More great clothing from AOHARU was a natural choice, the latest releases of lacey skirts and belted cotton button downs are hard to resist. The all white theme may not be the best for the dusty plains, but they will surely find a home in your inventory easily enough.

Anessa on ANEXX

AOHARU Walk/Luxury Line has been reborn as ANEXX Luxury Footwear. Machang Pichot whose styles have been very well received, has seen her shoe line grow in leaps and bounds, the latest step is into a whole new brand name. When ANEXX launches later this week it will boast 5 unique new styles; pumps, peep toes, embellished and knee high gladiator heels and a sexy back zip boot. The details range from opulent to sweet, with fringe (that moves!) and bows, gems and 'A' charms, and textures that have the look of satin or softened leather.

For my sneak peak at the ANEXX collection I decided to try and not completely blow my bank account on new outfits and instead try some mix and match with my favorite Bijou looks, new and old. I hope you enjoy this little preview of the new styles, and pay Machang a visit when ANEXX opens it's doors.
