get ready for gatsby

May 9, 2013  heart

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.

April 22, 2013  heart

it turns out that april 22 is national jelly bean day.  in the spirit of the holiday, we went out bought a bunch of jelly beans & made fun shapes out of them … the heart was our favorite (obviously).  now we are on a major sugar high!
