June 16th is a special day celebrating fatherhood, and honoring fathers for all they’ve done for us. This is a day we can show our fathers how much we truly appreciate them for the impact and influence they’ve made in our lives. Our team at Annie Laurie’s would like to say thank you to all fathers, and we sincerely appreciate everything you’ve done for us.
So this father’s day why not get your dad something truly unique, and stop by Annie Laurie’s Antiques to check out our vast variety of unique items to surprise dad with. We have items you may not find anywhere else around to assure dad feels special this June 16th.

Here are a few pictures of just some of the great items you can find in our shop for father’s day.

   Street Style is in essence a form of fashion that’s not specific to one type of dressing. Instead it covers a variety of different styles fit for diverse cultures. Unlike high fashion, with designers styling runway models, street style emerged from the streets with roots in our current youth culture.

Street style fashion consists of clothing and accessories individually tailored or modified in some way to express one’s own unique personality. It doesn’t matter whether you’re male, female, old, or young, Street Style can fit anybody’s lifestyle

This is one of the blogs where a picture speaks a thousand words.  Lingerie is actually a French term that means women’s undergarments. True to its literal meaning, lingerie is an intimate clothing item that is particularly very feminine and exudes excitement, sensuality and elegance. We were blessed to be able to have the gorgeous Maddie Moore model some of our favorite vintage lingerie pieces.  Tap pants, garter belts, corsets, there is something very romantic and sexy about these older pieces.  Most items are still available at Annie Laurie’s Antiques.  Enjoy kittens…

Meet the model.  Maddie Moore is a public relations major at Southeast Missouri State University.  Not only is she sweet as a kitten, but she is also super smart.  She was a trooper and very refreshing to work with.

Meet the photographer.  Turya Bax is one incredible lady-fashion designer, stylist, photographer…the list could go on forever.  We are so grateful that we had her take the pictures for the June blog.  We love you girl!

A special thanks to Lee and Kevin for letting us borrow their pad.

Annie Laurie’s Antiques is thrilled to launch our first video!

All the vintage clothing and accessories in this video can be found in the shop. There is a variety to choose from and all of them are one-of-a-kind. When it comes to Annie Laurie’s we do not believe in the phrase: ”less is more”, come on fashionistas…go BOLD or go home! During the development of this video we chose clothing that is perfect for all summer occasions, such as a night on the town or lounging by the pool.

The model in the video is the stunning Megan Kathleen Dillingham and she had so much fun dancing along to the music, while showcasing some of the clothing and accessories Annie Laurie’s has to offer! This video would have never been possible without the talent of Jenny Martinez. She is both an extraordinary videographer and photographer.

Check out the gorgeous clothing and accessories in this May Blog Fashion Spread. 

We have so many options to choose from at the amazing shop on the corner, Annie Laurie’s Antiques.

This shoot took place on a beautiful afternoon in downtown Cape Girardeau. “A Vintage Love Story” was based on a boy and girl who met for the first time in a park and then keep meeting there everyday for a week, while falling in love with one another.

The main goal of this shoot is to showcase all of the wonderful spring/summer clothing and accessories that Annie Laurie’s has to offer. Throughout the shoot there was not a specific trend that was being displayed because Annie Laurie’s is all about wearing what makes you feel amazing and not just following the trends.

The lovely model, Madeline Jones, wore a variety of dresses such as: mini, maxi, and knee length. The color selections were everything from pastels to darks due to all the different options at Annie Laurie’s! Accessories are a must for any ensemble because they complete the look. Hats, earrings, straw purses, and necklaces were the main focus in Madeline’s wardrobe for the love story photo shoot. The handsome model, Andrew Shupert, displayed some of the button up shirts we have available at Annie Laurie’s; the shirts included fabrics such as jean and khaki. Many of these button ups can be worn in both a casual or formal setting. The short-sleeved button ups are great for a date night during the summer; just add a fedora or watch to complete the look!

It is finally picnic weather! Annie Laurie’s has a wide range of large, medium, or small picnic baskets that can create the perfect setting for your day out.

Most of the clothing and accessories you see in this shoot are available to buy at the shop today.

Check out the funky clothing in this April Fashion Spread. There are tons of clothing and accessories that are both stylish and rare at Annie Laurie’s. 

We have so many options to choose from at the amazing shop on the corner, Annie Laurie’s Antiques.

This shoot took place in St. Louis in the studio of the band, Media Ghost, who is featured in the April Fashion Spread. During this shoot we wanted to show you how to rock the “trendy look” because these looks are seen in a variety of fashion collections. To add, these get-ups can be worn in everyday life! The lead singer of Media Ghost is seen wearing chic dresses, jackets, rings, earrings, scarves, belts, and boots. Accessories were a major factor in this April shoot; if an outfit is dull in color then spice it up with some colorful belts, rings, and scarves! A major fashion trend for every season is wearing scarves for accessories; as well as wearing  boots with both skirts and dresses to break up the outfit in an interesting way. Also, head-wear is something to never stay clear of… make sure to show off your personal style with a head scarf or hat!

The band members can be seen wearing stylish button-ups with grungy t-shirts, impressive jackets, vests, ties, and hats. Men can add accessories to every outfit as well such as: ties, rings, hats, belts, and necklaces. It is important to know your style and embrace it, but do not be afraid to change it up a little! While shooting Media Ghost we wanted to show off all of the eccentric items that can be found at Annie Laurie’s. Some of Annie Laurie’s lamps added some flavor to the shoot and they can add flavor to any of the rooms in your home! 

Most of the clothes and accessories you see in this shoot are available to buy at the shop today. Prices at the bottom of the page.
