Kristen May loves MANDATE!!!

Flower Barrette by Angel Lust available on Etsy Click Here!!!

I am determined to own a couple of Carissa's sexy little playsuits this summer. They are perfect for brunch and cocktail hour in the East village or hip parts of Brooklyn. I'm a fan of her floral prints and backless numbers. Here is a look at the first thing I have my eye on.

I'm going to pair one or two of my embroidered barrettes with this number should I buy it!!! Springtime is all about flower power,done up in daisies or cherry blossom romance.

The Mandate Castle!!!

I love looking inside at people's big city homes,I was so excited to venture out into Brooklyn today to drop in at the new Mandate of Heaven location. This my lovely voyeurs is a peak inside Carissa's Boutique/workspace/home...It is one of the most enchanting places in NYC that I've stepped inside.



I dropped by my gal pal Carissa's new duplex boutique today with my lil cam!!!


Carissa has the sweetest intern right now,her name is Whitney and she has a love for vintage baby-doll dresses. Naturally I had to give her a matching ANGEL LUST headband to flaunt around,it was so fitting!!! I just happened to have one that matched Carissa's Mandate of Heaven creation she was wearing today as well...

Just a taste of Mandate....

Bare with me children,as I am learning how to expand my knowledge of imovie .... I want to be able to communicate with the world about all my artistic endeavors and cool things I do with friends and associates...This is the second part of the Mandate Show,watch and listen to the lovely Madmoiselle Paige Wood sing....

Mandate of Heaven does the Catwalk

I've always admired the way Carissa Ackerman went about her business called Mandate of Heaven. Mandate is as indie as it gets as far as fashion goes. One of a kind everythings , part vintage and remade with quality. I've always loved and felt a connection more so with designers like her in my past as these designers don't exactly set out with any major business motive, it kinda starts out with a "what the hell I just want to do this"idea. The way usually the best stuff does. Carissa has ultimately made her own client which may have never existed in the first place if her craft hadn't. She doesn't exploit her clients by using them as models but has created a cult like adoration for them instead. The Mandate Girls as she's labeled them are young hot real girls and accidentally using them as models also serves as a very responsible message to society as far as what beauty is when it comes to fashion. You don't have to be a 16 year old girl 5ft11 and 100lbs to be gorgeous. Thats beautiful but so it being 22 or 24 or 30 etc., and having thighs a chest and an ass to boot. And her girls love it as they get to wear cool cloths and rock the runway.

I was talking to Mylan Bui a young PR phenomena in the making. Mylan runs Bui-Lavry PR and takes on clients that are responsible to the environment and economy. She does not limit her services to only fashion design. But she will take on a fashion client. She loves what she does and is also doing something productive for mankind in a moral sense. If that is not success what is? Mandate of Heaven is exactly responsible in that way. There is much recycling going on with her line and absolutely no over seas production. You know the garment you're wearing hasn't taken advantage of anyone in the labor aspect. You also know you are wearing something exclusive.

Its nice to know that nice girls don't finish last, they help each other, they grow together and finish on top of the world they've saved from a sense of cruelty...

Paige on Stage!!!

A couple of nights ago my boyfriend Will Rockwell Scott played at Piano's with Reno Bo, he has an amazing voice. After they were finished I ran in my heels around the block to the Annex to catch my well dressed singer songwriter Paige Wood. Here are some stills from that night. I've always loved Rock and Roll since I was born. My boy and I agreed Paige has the best dressed chicks at her shows. But Reno had our good pals The Pierces at his show, the stunning ladies who got to make a special appearance on "Gossip Girl"!!!

Now here are some pics from Reno's show first up with Catherine Pierce and my boy taken off guard!!!





I had a ton of fun!!! If you want to network like seriously network you need to attend these rock star shows!!! If not for the music mainly. Plus Paige has the best dressed beauties in the audience!!!

It is 7:30 am I can't sleep so the next post will be later dolls!!!

Mandat of Heaven !!!

The lovely Carissa Outdid herself this time with her cozy indie fashion show that took place in a private hidden house and garden on St. Marks Street. Paige Wood was present .Paige played the guitar as friends modeled Mandate of Heaven creation's through the residence. This was truly a treat to be a part of. All in all Carissa does unique vintage rock and roll pieces inspired by the 60's and has great friend's that help her push her garments into downtown NYC!!!

You can bet these pieces will be flying off the racks at Patricia Field's. Remember everything is one of kind so be sure to hop on it if you really want one.
