It feels like zero degrees out side, but that does not stop New Yorkers from shopping and finding great deals for the holidays. One such place was at the Soho Grand Hotel. The trunk show/cocktail party featured the up-and-coming line Annabelle, by fashion designer Anna McCraney (winner of “The Fashion Show,” a reality TV show). Anna’s holiday line of party dresses was elegant. simple, yet made a statement in its bold African prints. Young ladies, modeling pieces from the collection, walked around and greeted the guests. The garments looked very flattering, fun, and easy to wear. You can check out and shop Anna’s line at http://www.annamccraney.com/ .
