smile!

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!

if you couldn’t make it and you’re from out of town, the party doesn’t stop here! splendid locations across the land are hosting tee parties of their own. check out the list below and rsvp here for this weekend’s tee party!

get ready for gatsby

we were over the moon to see that emma roberts wore the superstar bobbi to the pre-met ball screening of the great gatsby! we think it added just the perfect amount of deco glam to her pretty pink dress…very daisy buchanan-esque. as if we weren’t excited enough already to see the movie! glittery fireworks, endless champagne, flapper dresses…sounds like a ban.do party, doesn’t it? plus, an evening with our boyfriend leo and our girl crush carey mulligan sounds just about perfect. you can spot us in the front row wearing our favorite glittery ban.dos.


girls with glasses!


we are big fans of the girls with glasses…and can you blame us? can they be any more adorable?? we go way back with summer and brooke. they are epic ban.do gals at heart – super fun and sparkly inside and out. we are always so excited when they wear ban.do. really though, look at those beautiful gals! and check out their instagram for so much more cuteness.  now, we just need to know…where does a girl get herself a pair of those spectacularly glittered glasses?
