Our New Favorite Band(z)

A brief public service announcement: besides returning to a more regular posting schedule (life got real, you know how it is), Mack to the Future is going to start spreading its wings, and we are flying toward the world of *~*Fa$hIoN*~*!!!!! Ok, so that was a questionable metaphor and typeface choice, but it's only because I can't contain my excitement! As we've discussed often, the concepts of the Summer Jam along with well, Macking to the Future, are entire states of mind that take inspiration from all media, and certainly not just music! In other words, just because we love posting about music doesn't mean we don't want to bring our fair (or hopefully sunburned!) readers all kinds of other goodness.

SO to kick off our ongoing style series (Fashion Fridays, perhaps? Possibly!), let's spend a little time with the ultimate Summer Jam Accessory, THE SILLY BAND. In case you somehow missed out on the most fun, most cheapo, most neon trend of the summer, silly bandz are those little rubber bracelets that look like this:

Right?! These are nothing but delightful, and also do a good job of easing the pain we still feel at the loss of the slap bracelet. Party tip: they're a totally fun way to leave a mark with your friends, i.e. when someone gave me a hot pink band in the shape of the word HOT on my birthday. Can't think of a more festive accessory, obviously aside from the piles and piles of gold jewelery I already happened to be wearing at the time. Further proof, as if it was needed, that children are an utterly valid source of fashion inspiration.
