Let it snow.

Hello Darlings,

It's getting cold, and everyone is broke. Definitely time to celebrate.

Are you having a little trouble with that Holiday Spirit business this year? We can help, for real. Here's how:

MANDATE OF HEAVEN SHORT GUIDE TO A HAPPY HOLIDAY

1. Get yourself the perfect holiday outfit. You'll automatically brighten the atmosphere for yourself and everyone around you. You know how, in the best 30s movies, everyone is dressed to the nines in the middle of that giant ass depression? Same concept.
Feeling too poor to invest in a new dress? Come pick up a playsuit instead. They're perfect for layering- throw a full skirt on top for family time, put on a cardigan for your office party, then wear that baby New Years Eve with just a pair of tights and smile. (Umm.. and maybe throw on a coat if you plan on leaving the house. See below).

2. Get your friends the perfect holiday present... a Boyfriend, perhaps? Ok, so we're talking about the coolest, best-bang-for-your-buck accessories in the land (now available at Mandate)... not a real boy. However, a perfectly placed ice blue feather headpiece that highlights her already exquisite eyes in just the right way could very well up her game to that next level.. and who's to say you can't take a little credit?
If that alone doesn't do the trick, pick up a Mandate of Heaven Gift Certificate- for any amount you'd like- and help your favorite girls acquire the best boyfriend TRAP in the land. Are YOU a boyfriend? Keep your sweetheart happy. See above.

3. Throw the perfect holiday party. You should do this because everyone is broke, and afraid to go out, and we all need a little relief. Make it a BYOB potluck extravaganza... cheap and fun. Invite everyone you really care about. Wrap your gifts, light some candles, throw up some mistletoe, pop in a copy of Scrooged, and put on your Mandate. Then smile, drink up, and let it snow. This way, you won't even need that coat.

MANDATE LOVES THE HOLIDAYS AND YOU.

Mandate Loves Boyfriend.

Hi Darlings,

You know how there are always these amazing feather and bow hair accessories chilling out around here, and you're always like, "are those for sale?" and we're always like "no, they're MINE!"?
If you haven't heard yet, they're from this awesome line called Boyfriend... and this Thursday you can come get your very own.

Perhaps you've noticed the recent popularity of feathered headbands and such... well, Boyfriend started that a long time ago; and, with their clean, cleverly elegant design aesthetic and pitch perfect color selection skills, theirs are still the best by far. Plus, their seriously reasonable prices kick most of their competition in the pants, making it absolutely pointless to buy anything but the original.
Also unlike their imitators, Boyfriend is no one trick pony; they make all sorts of other amazing accessories as well... and you can see many of them for the first time here. I'd suggest snatching them up before the knockoff faeries get ahold of them.
Moreover, those impressive prices make Boyfriend a genius gift idea; in fact, we'll feature special prices for multiple purchases.
Oh- and you can meet the designers- in person. They are like butter.

Please come join us this Thursday, November 20th, for an exclusive Holiday Trunk Show featuring never before seen as well as seen and intensely coveted handmade accessories from the amazing aforementioned Boyfriend. Alongside the Boyfriend awesomeness, we will debut the first of our Mandate of Heaven Holiday minicollections, including several never-before-seen showstoppers. Stop by any time between 7 and 10 pm and stock up on genius holiday gifts, find your perfect party outfit, get tipsy on champagne and cupcakes and chat with the best kids in Brooklyn. Needless to say, it will be an efficient evening.

In case you've forgotten, here's our info:
Mandate of Heaven
406 Lorimer St., 3rd Floor
Brooklyn, NY
718 388-7242

Please invite friends, but please RSVP to this email:

We want to make sure we can accommodate everyone :)

MANDATE LOVES BOYFRIEND AND YOU.
