where have we been?

May 20, 2013  heart

the answer to that question is…everywhere! even though us ban.do gals have been crazy busy here in the studio, we’ve still managed to find some time to play a little.

* we got our nails done. gotta keep those nails lookin’ fresh!

* we had lunch at goldie’s. have you had the burrata with roasted watermelon? so good.

* we had a tee party at splendid and it was SO fun. those bouquets are by oak and the owl…aren’t they gorgeous?

* we found some awesome garland at plastica on third street.

* jen and kelly went to new york for accessories the show…

* …while ali and tara had “work on the west side” day.

* we shot a fun video with mr. steve pappin, expert confetti thrower.

* kelly took a little vacay to sayulita for a wedding…so pretty!

we just had WAY too much fun at the splendid tee party last week! what a treat it was to party it up with some of our favorite gals (and guys). and it was all poms and tees as far as the eye can see …we think they make the perfect pair, no? and it wouldn’t be a party without a smilebooth…these are just a taste of some of our favorites. check out the rest here…you guys really now how to work a photo booth!

what a fun surprise to find our neon pink flash bobbis in the june 2013 issue of people style watch! we ban.do girls wouldn’t be caught dead without a flash bobbi or two on hand…they are the perfect accessory for a quick hair fix after a day at the beach! and they are only $10 for a set of four…what a steal.
