New Year New Bloggers

Last week, I showed you my picks of some Holiday looks featuring my Misters! But now, it's your turn. I chose a couple of my favorite fashion bloggers to feature in today's blog post in lieu of the post Christmas festivities and the upcoming New Year! I'm loving how versatile these Misters are... they had no problem making the transition from each season. Some of you even took my advice and took him out to play during a snow day! It's a new year, and we've got our eyes pealed for new bloggers. Always be sure to hashtag your posts with #MisterCollection for a chance to be featured. For business inquiries and fan mail send us an e-mail to info@dandreahandbags.com, we LOVE hearing from you. Cheers to 2014! xoxo

My Style Diaries rocked Mr. One-Nighter with her holiday sweater dress. All these studs and sequins, totally our style. I don't think this trend is going anywhere any time soon... Would definitely wear this look with a pair of stilettos, a bold lip, and some glitter nails to a New Years Eve party this week. View The Entire Post Here!

 

Barbie is a Snow Bunny! Society Grl pairs her Italian leather with her Italian fur while walking in a winter wonderland. We haven't had much snow fall this year on the East Coast, but this post definitely gives us our fix. View The Entire Post Here!

For the Girls on the Naughty List!

Did you shop for your hot holiday attire yet? Fashion and the holidays go hand-in-hand. If you're anything like me, you're not spending Christmas morning preparing for dinner in your chicest apron - you're in the bedroom in your sparkly dress making sure you look perfect for that annual family photo by the fireplace and tree (see Mr. Arrogant's Christmas card above, haha.) In case you need a few ideas, I've put together some outfit inspiration... It's not cheating as long as your favorite guy is on your arm ;) For all you naughty girls, I hope you've put a Mister on your list!

Walking With Your Mister in a Winter Wonderland

What did you do over the weekend? I took my favorite handbag walking in a winter wonderland! As the snow began to fall, I fell deeper in love with my Mister. There's nothing like a snow day with your main man. You probably know that d'andrea handbags are made up of the finest Italian cow and lamb skin. So, we are often asked a few questions about how to care for your new leather boyfriends. Well, I've got the answers! And, you may be surprised to hear that these bad boys have tougher skin than they do feelings ;)

A few tips...

1. Always store him in your d'andrea dustbag.

2. NEVER keep him in plastic!

3. Invest in a good leather conditioner.

4. Remember, leather has imperfections - a sure way to tell that it is real - however, keeping him in the sun too long may cause some discoloration/fading. 

5. Wet spots/oil spills/grease mishaps, don't worry! A dry cloth will be your best friend! Do not rub, but simply blot to absorb.

Carry All Carry On!

I like your breakfast style Mr. Arrogant! Breakfast of Champions; bloody mary's in the Loft at LAX!

These Misters are no strangers to jet-setting from coast to coast! Just this past week a few touched down in LA to soak up some California sun, while others were on the East Coast braving the cold and false weather reports! From Logan to LAX these boys have got traveling down to a science. And who likes traveling alone? Take a seat next to Mr. Arrogant and it wont be all that bad. Fashionistas, fill up your carry all carry on bag with these few essentials while your mile high for a ride smoother than your Mister's skin, xoxo.

1. The Go To Handbag, of course ♥

2. Always pack a scarf! Not the trendy infinity one either...Pull this out to cuddle up and keep warm, because you know the person next to you is not turning down their air. 

3. Sunglasses to hide those tired eyes! Tom Ford, the only aviators I want flying my flight.

4. Flats, Flats, Flats.. But the d'andrea girls often settle for a classic pair of Converse as well.

4. Stylish guides (not the flight attendants)...W, Vogue, Harper's, and one of our favorites Lucky of course. 

5. Last but not least...a chai.

Matching Virgin America, the only way to travel of course ;)

Maniac Monday

It's always a manic Monday, but today - it's become a Maniac Monday! A new guilty pleasure is reading the Pittsburgh quintessential guide to fashion and style. If you've been following us for a while, you'd know that Pittsburgh holds great meaning behind a lot of these Misters! I love this quote from the article in Maniac Magazine The Mister Collection by d'andrea handbags: "Show me a woman who doesn't love a handbag and I'll show you a liar." Well, if you do happen to love a good handbag, we could also show you a few more liars. They go by the names of Mr. Player, Mr. Arrogant, Mr. Stalker and Mr. Never-Again!

Click Here to view the feature Maniac did on the Misters. Our designer sheds some light on her 3 most important thoughts kept in mind during her design process. These tips could also be used for customers who are in the market for a new handbag! And if you're like me, the search is endless for Mr. Right Now....xoxo
