Secrets of the Bad Boys in Your Closet: Part 3

It's Friday morning - the end of yet another work week and the start of a long Holiday weekend. I hope you grab your new Autumn lover Mister, and go out for some Fall festivities! If you're like me you're going to need a shot of espresso, and a little extra pumpkin in your chai to jump start today. But hold on, because your guilty pleasure is back! Friday means one more thing...and no I'm not talking about pay day...I'm talking about the 'Secrets of the Bad Boys in Your Closest!' If you're in a new relationship with these Misters and this is your first time stopping by this PR girl's blog, I'm revealing to you some more secrets about the boys that have inspired your new favorite collection of handbags! Trust me, you'll be fully committed, and surprised - after hearing a little more about Mr. Arrogant. As mentioned before, he's my favorite boy, the guy I'm always carrying. But I have to admit, I stole our designer's look, because he's Nicole's partner these days too. It causes some double takes at our daily lunch spot that we're always rocking the same handbag, but the Misters don't care...they love the attention!

Shop Mr. Arrogant Here!

 

Mr. Arrogant has A LOT of personas: a sibling, a co-worker, an old classmate. But lately, a certain ex-boyfriend has taken on the Mr. Arrogant title. Each one has a lot of similarities.Despite his bad boy impression, along with arrogance comes an Emotionally Unavailable, and Loving side to him too ;) He's a little selfish, high-maintenance, talks a big game, and put on the disappearing act for long periods of time. Although you think he just doesn't understand you, and isn't there, he always comes through at the last possible second! Even if it is by giving you a quick phone call while he's in a rushed situation. He's the guy who likes to play games; sometimes, we even joke that he's reading a manual about how to talk to girls! (There's no need to wait two full days in between each text message! If she wanted to write you a letter, she would - UPS would be faster than your responses!) Mr. Arrogant has enough of his own baggage and some room for yours too. But JUST  a little bit, because put a lot on his plate, and he'll run scared. He is the perfect Mister to have on any confident woman’s arm, because an arrogant guy, would never go for a girl that he was not proud of.

This PR Girl, and her Misters.

After a positive start to the d'andrea blog, I decided it was about time to share a little bit about your new favorite PR Girl. My name is Jenna, and I've been writing all of these blog posts in my chic black and white chair, at my sleek white desk, all from my office here on the East Coast!  It all started as a little girl who would cut up her older sister's latest issue of Vogue - with a mother who made sure I always left with house with my hair perfectly teased. I'd have to say I never really realized how much I was interested in fashion until I felt a restraint/disconnect from it in high school. I attended private school, where the mandatory uniform was a pleated navy blue skirt, paired with an equally boring cotton polo t-shirt (similar to the pink one Lindsay Lohan wore in Mean Girls on Wednesday...pre-hab.) The girls of Gossip Girl make styling up their uniforms look so easy! However, this is where I learned how important accessories are to a girl's wardrobe. Even in your worst outfit, there are ways to personalize it, making it more fashion forward. Be creative with your handbags (d'andrea, duh!), headbands, jewelry and flats! That's why I love the business I'm in, because I believe in our handbags, that they are staple, timeless, pieces.

My "everyday" handbag is perect for the PR girl, he's big enough to hold my laptop, ALL of my Iphones, my Samsung Galaxy Camera, my makeup bag, an extra pair of shoes. You know, the essentials: Mr. Arrogant ♥

Of course my job has it's perks. The first being that I get to spend every day with our designer, Nicole who has become the best mentor and friend to me! The traveling, meeting people, and working in handbag heaven, with an endless supply of Misters isn't so bad either. But my favorite part, and the purpose of my blog, is connecting with all of the d'andrea lovers out there! I love sharing our crazy stories behind the scenes of this fashion frenzy with you guys! I love hearing from you, and having you share all of your wild adventures with your latest boyfriend! Writing is my number one passion, and I promise to keep you posted, if you in turn will keep me posted. Tweet, Instagram, and Facebook me - but don't forget to use the hashtag #MisterCollection, because I don't want to miss a thing! xoxo

We call my shoulder bag the "Jenna" handbag because he's my favorite! (He's even on my business card ;) He's my go-to guy for nights out on the town: Mr. Never Again ♥

The Misters Take Over the Media: The Rhode Show

Well, the inevitable has come, and the Misters had their first TV gig! Their ego is taking up the entire office over here. I gotta hand it to them though, these boys are naturals - I think they need their own reality show (the camera didn't even add ten pounds to their leather haha!) However, the one who makes all this possible, and keeps all these Misters in line, our designer Nicole D'Andrea definitely stole the show. She rocked the set! I mean, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that she had all these bad boys in front of her clouding her reality and the fact that she was on LIVE television! In case you've missed it - I've got the hook up for you. Listen closely, and you may here a SPOILER ALERT about what's in store for d'andrea...

 

WATCH THE RHODE SHOW HERE!

We are so honored to have been featured on The Rhode Show. Rhode Island will always have a special place in these Misters hearts! Just a couple of small town guys hitting big cities! And how fabulous is the host Michaela Johnson? We had so much fun when she visited our office a few weeks back with her camera guy Ric aka the new Mr. Wonderful. We played dress-up, and they even got to step foot in the sacred place where all the magic happens: Nicole's design studio... I'm lucky if I even get to go in there without feeling the wrath of Mr. Never Again's spikes!!! We weren't the only ones who enjoyed having Michaela around, Mr. One-Nighter had his eyes set on her when she walked in the door. Let's just say she didn't go home alone..

Are you loving that these boys are developing their own persona as much as I am? Something good always comes out of every tragedy... even heartbreak! So try to laugh about it, and then call them out on live TV! ;) xoxo

The Misters Bring Back Old New York: in Black and in White

It's the first week in September so you know this PR girl is totally busy! The only two things on my mind is Misters and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week! But when I do get a chance to dream about what's in store - I can't help but think about old New York City in my favorite light, done right - in black and white. Fun fact: Something you may not know, our designer Nicole draws much of her inspiration while designing from 1940's fashion!

The Misters are set for their big NYFW debut, officially sponsoring GBK Productions Styling Lounge. During this two-day event at the Empire Hotel, celebrity and VIP guests will make their way from the Lincoln Center, to accept their exclusive, black and white evening clutches from the much anticipated SP14 Mister Collection. Today, I got a preview of these bags being made and I wanted to pass them along to my favorite girls! By the way am I allowed to say badass on here? Because that's what these guys are... badass!

 

Oh, and about the unofficial rule of fashion: "no white after labor day"...We say rules are meant to be broken and hey, these boys are bad!

 I'll be sure to keep you posted on what's to come this week! Just a little hint, a serious influential woman of Sex and the City's fashion will be meeting OUR version of Mr. Big ;)  xoxo
