Secrets of the Bad Boys in Your Closest: Part 1

Current relationship status? My heart is currently taken...and sometimes breaking...by all the bad boy Misters in my closet! But I'm not the only one with a closet full of studs. Some of you may be wondering "why the misters?" or "how does Nicole come up with the names?" and the most frequently asked "does she really have THAT many ex-boyfriends?" Though it's already been revealed that Mr. Emotionally Unavailable, Mr. Arrogant, and Mr. Lover are all named after the same guy...I've finally got the go ahead to reveal to you some more secrets about the boys that have inspired your new favorite collection of handbags! You may be surprised to know that some of them aren't even named after ex-boyfriends! There may have been another lucky guy in Nicole's life who became her muse. I can't lie, some days we spend hours at the fabulous d'andrea office gossiping, sharing secrets, and swapping stories...and hers are too good not to tell! Every couple of blog posts I will reveal the origin behind one bag, before you've been introduced to every single one of these Misters! Up first in the hot seat: Mr. Stalker.

Mr. Stalker is the guy Nicole's fallen in love with a few times, but every time he just leaves her wondering "why?" Mr. Stalker's been stalking for so long that he's earned his Mister title. I hear this doesn't make the original d'andrea Misters happy....because they aren't fans of this bad boy either! Boys will be boys, and brothers will always try and protect their sisters! (Shhh, we don't mention him by name when they're around...) He's the guy who makes you want to turn the "read" off on your Iphone, the one who makes you slam that same phone back into your handbag at the nail salon, and opt for a magazine instead - oh, and don't forget those blocked calls you get every Saturday night! He's the type who you only keep around for when you're desperate for a date to a wedding, because you know he'll come running with a snap of a finger...that he's been dying to put a ring on! But, even sometimes his stalker-ish tendencies can't help but leave a girl secretly flattered.

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
