Love ‘Em Or Leave ‘Em: Fake Eyelashes

Winona Dimeo-EdigerJuly 13, 2011 //

This summer, I’ve been committed to attending as many frivolous pop concerts as possible and dressing accordingly, which means sequins, disastrously high heels, and my recently discovered favorite accessory: fake eyelashes. I’d actually never tried them before the Britney Spears concert (I know, I know) a few weeks ago.
