AnnaSophia’s Style
We are loving AnnaSophia’s feminine dresses and simple accessories. Not one to go trend-crazy, she’s a big fan of pretty dresses, casual jackets and sparkly heels. In her downtime she’s just another teenage girl in denim cut-offs and jeans and tees. Her shiny hair, either worn loose or in a simple bun, is her best accessory!
