the tagline for Banter Banners is: "because we should celebrate the everyday." uh hello? yes we should. genius! we are obsessed with Angela Deane's creative nod to old school party decorations with taglines like "la dolce vita" and "good times." there are even banners for those avid twi-hards (yes you). we think one belongs in every room to remind us to seize the fun in everyday! check the banners out in action here.

remember back in the day when you danced the macarana, said "boo-ya" and watched a little show called dawson creek? well we know you miss it! and whether you rooted for dawson or pacey to win joey's heart, you will enjoy this! the James Van Der Memes.

we are just crazy over this adorable LA blogger! completely lost in the 6o's, melanie creates a beatnik style all her own. we love her leopard blazer, messy up-do and lace-up "save it for later" booties! read her blog and you will fall for her bubbly personality too!

happy new year!
