Party Girl

This headband is inspired by girls who like to get dressed up and host cocktail parties with their friends. A party girl is classy and likes to sparkle in the night sky; this is why many of the Party Girl headbands feature gemstones. A party girl is always looking for a new piece to wear out because they can never wear the same outfit twice. So next time you are looking through your closet and you think you have nothing new to wear put on a headband and you will be the it girl for the night!

The headband pictured on the top is best worn with updo's because it does not fit flat to the head.

Annelise Photoshoot

A friend of mine from University studying fashion did a fashion shoot with Annelise headbands. The pictures turned out great and will give you all a better idea of how Annelise headbands look on.

Thank you to Julia Dobbins the photographer and Katerina Maly the model.

School Girl

The school girl clip is inspired by girls who were required to wear a uniform to school everyday but wanted to show their individuality. For those of us who are restricted by a dress code at school or work, a school girl clip is a subtle way to show your personal style. Try placing several school girl clips in your hair for a truly unique and one of a kind look.

The school girl clip is made on felt which is sewn to a snap clip which can be securely placed in your hair.

This picture shows all current styles of the school girl clip.

Email me for additional photos of the clips closer to see more detail of the feather

Audrey

Want to pretend you are Holly Golightly for a day?

The Audrey headband could be your answer; this headband is inspired by the great actress Audrey Hepburn who I believe defines the ideal of beauty, style and grace. Audrey Hepburn's style was defined by a chic simplicity that was admired by women everywhere. The design of this headband is for women who love to have a pop of something unexpected in their classic outfits.

The Audrey headband is simple and delicate, it is the final touch to any outfit.

The Audrey Headband is currently available in two sizes. large as shown by the black & white and brown & white headbands and small as shown by the yellow headband. Available in a variety of feathers.

Flapper Girl

In the 1920's a new type of woman was born, the flapper girl. Flapper girls were care free, outgoing, beautiful and stylish; they wore loose fitting skirts and tops that allowed to them to dance with ease. Flapper girls styled their loose outfits with long necklaces, hats, headbands and feathers. The Flapper Girl headband is inspired by the accessories of the stylish women who helped define the roaring twenties.

The Flapper Girl headband is a daring look that can add interest and intrigue to any outfit.

Miss Pamela

Miss Pamela is the first style of headband to be unveiled from Annelise. I was first inspired to make this headband in peacock feathers because of a version I admired on a style website. I continued to make this headband in different feathers and widths, inspired by the original rock & roll groupie in the sixties Pamela des Barres who developed an eclectic and eccentric style that is no longer seen today. Pamela lived her youth in a world of creativity, romance and adventure.

I hope you feel inspired to live out every moment while wearing your Miss Pamela headband.

Annelise is founded!

Last Christmas break I was back at my parents house and needed something to preoccupy my time in the country away from the city. I was looking around on the Internet and came across a photo of Mary-Kate Olsen wearing a beautiful peacock feather headband that went across her forehead and through her wavy hair. I instantly fell in love with it and was going to do anything to find one for myself! My epic adventure through every website imaginable ended without a peacock headband, so I decided to make one for myself. The peacock feather headband was the first headband I made and I continue to wear it all the time. After that headband I could not stop, I went mad making headbands, I made so many headbands there weren't enough days to wear them! I began showing my headbands to friends and giving them away for gifts; everyone I showed them to loved them.

The headband in the picture is Annelise Hand made feather millinery

The peacock feather headband was the inspiration for Annelise Hand made feather millinery. Annelise specializes in quality hand-made headbands, barrettes and earrings featuring different styles of feathers.
