In an effort to expand a teenager's musical taste beyond Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, I've been watching and sharing a lot of music videos lately. Kate Nash, who is adorable and amazing, has a kitschy retro flight attendant video for her song "Do-Wah-Doo." I can't quite tell if she has rhinestones at the base of her lashes or if she swooped silver liner over her black. We'll leave the former option to British pop stars, but a swipe of silver eyeliner over an otherwise bare lid sounds like a fun way to dress up a sleepy day. Drug store staple, Revlon, has a standard pencil liner ($8.49 at Target) that looks like it has plenty of sparkle. Sephora has a waterproof option ($12) and a super glittery gel liner ($12). Happy eyes for everyone!
One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.
The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.
Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship. Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…

Why We Love It: Winter. Blarg. It snowed yesterday. It will probably snow today. I'm so done. I want to wear pretty shirts and not freeze to death. These skirts from Sandee Royalty make me think of spring, and anything that makes me thing of spring is super happy right now.
