The d'andrea Girl's Lethal Weapon

We're feeling a little edgy this week - maybe it's because of some certain ex-boyfriends, or we're just on guard due to the mischief surrounding the craziness of Halloween! Either way, what better way to express your mood than through your style? It's Friday, you've made it through the week...breath, and strut through the weekend with you're black eyeliner, thigh high boots, and these rocker chic Misters. They are definitely giving off the "don't mess with me" vibe! Spikes and studs are on a high trend alert... they're everywhere! And hey, they come in handy when someone gets outta line. Would you want to get the nudge from one of those bad boys? Ouch, I don't think so! If looks could kill, which handbag would be your weapon of choice?

SHOP MR. NEVER AGAIN!

SHOP MR. RIGHT NOW!

SHOP MR.LOVER!

Tip: Try not to over accessorize with jewelry while trying out these Misters. Less is more, and simple is stylish. xoxo

OOTD: Dressing Up with Our Designer!

We're FINALLY jumping on the "outfit of the day" bandwagon, but hey, at least we're arriving fashionably late...When my favorite designer sent me hers this weekend I knew I had to share it with you all! Nicole was rocking all of her signature essentials in one outfit for the perfect day-to-night "wedding look". Of course, she took Mr. Right Now out in black as her date.

Shop him here!

 

 

 

Starting with every girl's best friend; for jewelry she's wearing a David Yurman bracelet, paired with two rings: a Chloe one in rose gold on one hand, and a original design of diamonds and sapphires on the other. 

                                                       

Currently obsessing over Essie's 'Ballet Slippers' on the nails&toes.

 

Moving on to the LBD (you can never go wrong) is none other than a James Jeans James Icon mini. It's officially Fall so you can no longer go bare-legged ladies! A rule with only one exception of course, if your boots are thigh high. Nicole chose a simple pair of tights from Vicky's Secret. No runs guaranteed!

 

....and as for the shoes, Christian Louboutin, black patent Pigalles of course ;)

 

♥♥♥

 

I'd love to see your looks from the weekend! What are some of your signature pieces? I'm always looking for inspiration to style and impress and my Mister. Tweet me your #OOTD @dandreahandbags! xoxo

FALL in Love with Our New Misters: Orange is the New Black!

There are two more days left of Summer until it's "officially" Fall - but if you're thinking like me, Fall's right on schedule. It began weeks ago when the pumpkin spice Starbucks cups took over your Instagram timeline; come on you know you're guilty too! The unbearable school bus traffic struck the streets of your city. You're devoted to your favorite TV show that's back on the air (I mean a girl could never get enough of Stephan and Damon.) You can barely shut your closet because it's overstuffed by oversized slouchy sweaters. Lastly your combat boots have been back in your closet since the day it fell just under 70 degrees. 

 

Shop Mr. Right Now Here!

Speaking of edgy, even though it's a little bit chilly, the new guy in your life has gotten extremely hot! I'm dying to share with you that our designer has done it again! She's come up with a whole new exclusive set of colors for just in time for Fall. Her inspiration may have come from her very own favorite TV show....Let's just say orange really is the new black! You can count on these Misters to ALWAYS be fashion forward, and one step ahead of the rest of them. While you're trend setting with your new "it boy" Mr. Right Now, picking apples, carving pumpkins, indulging in Halloween candy, spending time with your loved ones over a Thanksgiving dinner - we'll be working on the handbag to you that will be on your Christmas list! xoxo

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..

 WATCH THE RHODE SHOW HERE!

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

NYFW: Behind the Scenes of My Crazy World

Sorry for leaving you with a cliff hanger in my last post dolls! Have you been wondering who the latest lucky lady to meet our Misters is? Well, I had the exclusive invite to kick off fashion week right at the GBK and FGI Opening Party hosted by the one-and-only, legendary stylist behind Sex and the City: Patricia Field. She is everything you would imagine, sassy, classy, and dressed to kill.  Closets all over the world are inspired by the women of this show. I've always considered myself more of a Samantha - except I have similar taste in men as Carrie, with a Mr. Big of my own. A handbag designed by my favorite d'andrea girl, that will never leave you on your wedding day, dressed in a Vivienne Westwood! ;)

The next couple of days of New York Fashion Week were unreal. And even though we were toughing it out in our 4 inch heels enduring 12 hour days, I still can say that it went by way too fast! We spent Friday, and Saturday at the Empire Hotel where we had the pleasure of meeting some well known people in this industry! Jay Manuel and Miss J of “America’s Next Top Model” gave our designer Nicole their stamp of approval on her handbags. Celebrity Stylist June Ambrose and her fabulous daughter showed up, showing us all a thing or two about working the camera! Ice-T and Coco Austin showed up, and let me tell you us girls have never been so star struck! Coco even landed herself a silver studded Mr. Never Again. I'd love to see how Ice is going to match his outfit to this one...I was excited to meet the hilarious “Big Ang", her daughter Raquel, and Carla Facciolo of VH1’s “Mob Wives." Adrienne Bailon stunned all of our Misters when she walked in the room, she is flawless!  Some more Sex and the City ladies, Katie Findlay and Chloe Bridges of The “Carries Diaries” had a few laughs about carrying the same handbag! Then, Siggly Flicker and Nicole really hit it off! They have a very similar sense of style - peplums anyone? And to namedrop a few more girls on the list, Po Johnson from “La La’s Full Court Life” and Annaleigh Ashford of Broadway’s “Kinky Boots” left the lounge, and went home with Mr. Right-Now! Scroll down to see the rest of the guests on the list! What can I say... A girl's gotta have bragging rights to her FIRST fashion week!

On our downtime, Nicole and I had the chance to run around the city and play a bit! You know we had to check out what Bergdoff's, Barney's New York and Henri Bendel were carrying. Oh, and we just couldn't leave empty handed from the New York Zara. I'm totally loving their hippie headbands, I picked up a few. Everything is bigger and better in NYC, and speaking of bigger and better, we experienced the Dream Dry blowout bar! My stylist gave my hair more volume than I knew even existed. We carried our diva moments into the night, while having drinks either by the bar, or rooftop with one of our new favorite girls, blogger SocietyGrl.

It's good to be home and back in the office where I belong with all of my Misters! After this event, this PR girl has a lot of work ahead of her. But it won't be long until we hit the road again...I wonder what city these boys will take over next, and the surprises to come! xoxo
