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!

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.

did you hear? word on the street is that we’ve got five new iphone cases to get your pretty little hands on at anthropologie! we think they’re just the thing to get our iphones into the summer swing…whether you’re in the mood for pretty pink dots, a dainty swimmer, a flowery beauty, a cheery pinwheel, or some fab palm fronds! get yours here.

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.

kelly and jen spent a fun filled day with splendid and our favorite fellas of sharkpig creating a video and style guide for a new partnership!  our two colorful brands are teaming up and throwing some pretty awesome parties this summer: TEE parties to be exact!  and the best news is that the girls are hosting one of the parties this thursday, may 9th at the splendid store on robertson (details below).  if you’re smart (and we know you are) you’ll come meet all the ban.do gals, pick up some splendid tees and decorate them with pom pom flowers in every color.  there will be sips and snacks…and of course a smilebooth for a guaranteed good time! rsvp here.
