This is our second week of sharing the stories of influential women of color. See this week as we highlight the amazing Sonia Sotomayor, Ella Baker, Wilma Mankiller, Grace Lee Boggs, and Madonna Thunder Hawk. We will see you here again next week!

We started andieanderin to celebrate women and to educate ourselves on those who have paved the way for so many of the freedoms and rights we have today. We are motivated more than ever to continue our mission of celebrating influential women and will be funneling our energy towards sharing stories of influential women of color for the weeks to come.

As we are all cooped up in home for the unforeseeable future and trying to (every so often) distance ourselves from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) news from around the world, we pulled together a list of movies on influential women that you might want to add to your rotation. It is still Women's History Month after all! Hope everyone is healthy and safe at home with your loved ones.

Its 2020! We want to enter the new decade with bright eyes and open minds. As well as a continued mission to propel women’s stories to the forefront. We haven’t done this before, but ringing in a new decade and a year that is as monumental as the one we have ahead of us, we want to share a list of, frankly random things we are crushing on as we enter the new decade, told through GIFs :)

Our power neckties make a great gift for that special someone in your life, but it can be tough to decide which necktie would be the best fit. See our guide below for an expanded list of the necktie personalities.

The US Open is near, and there is a lot to be celebrating. Serena Williams is a favorite to win, which would be her 24th Grand Slam title and tie her with former Australian tennis star, Margaret Court, for the most wins ever, AND there is a new interactive monument to be unveiled honoring the trailblazer, Althea Gibson. Read more about this long overdue monument as well as a few other women trailblazers to be celebrated throughout New York City.

At the heart of andieanderin is a desire to collaborate, partner, and promote other women owned businesses. 

For the second time, we joined forces with fellow New York based women entrepreneurs to host a weekend long pop up we call Gal Pals Unite. See some pics from the shop and learn more about the amazing women owned businesses we collaborated with. 

2019 marks 50 years since the Stonewall Riots in New York City. The outward support for the LGBTQ+ community has grown substantially over the years, but we all know it has taken decades of hard work and heartbreak to reach today’s more inclusive environment AND there is always more work to be done to reach equality in the US and throughout the world. See 12 women from history and today that have contributed to advancing the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

If you are anything like us, you tuned in live to watch the celebrities pour into the Met Gala on the first Monday of May...and have since scoured the internet for any looks we may have missed on tv :) Not to mention, the after-parties!

B-O-W-S were everywhere and we can barely handle it! 

To prove that bows owned the pink runway, see our gallery of bow-tastic Met Gala looks!

We recently joined Pinterest and to spread the word, we are sharing an excessive 50 photographs of the remarkable Princess Diana wearing bows and neckties because this is how we spent our first hour on Pinterest :)

Hope you enjoy these photos of philanthropist and fashion icon Princess Diana. Let us know your favorite look!

This past Friday, March 8 was International Women's Day. It was truly an EPIC day for us at andieanderin. We had an amazing display of community from our necktie tribe, we attended 4 events throughout the week, got some nice media coverage, and our necktie was on stage at sxsw for a feminist fashion talk! 

Read on for more highlights and to see all the amazing photos of our necktie tribe wearing their power neckties in honor of the day.

The 2019 Women's History Month theme is ‘Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Nonviolence.’

The National Women’s History Alliance describes this year’s theme and honorees: “This year we honor women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society." Continue reading to hear about the eleven honorees

If social movements have anything to do with it, we think so. Neckties have been around for centuries, worn by both men and women. The design and material has changed through the years, but to this day, a necktie is a necessity in a man’s wardrobe, yet nowhere on the list of closet necessities for women. But that could change in 2019...

Did you hear?

There is an extreme shortage of sweetheart candies this Valentine's Day. But no need to fear. It appears the new NECCO owners, Spangler, will be bringing back the nostalgic candies in 2020 and we have some suggestions for what to press into these candies...

Our neckties are each a celebration of an influential women from history or today. Each one has a unique name and distinct design that was directly influenced by the influential woman muse. 

See more details on how we developed each design.
