Need this, need this, need this. It’s usefulness totally overrides its mild creepiness! Aeroshot Pure Energy is a slim, pocket-sized tube that works like an asthma inhaler. Puff gently, and the tube releases a light powder that dissolves instantly in your mouth. Each Aeroshot contains 100 milligrams of caffeine, roughly equivalent to a tall mocha at Starbucks.

Where was this Anthropologie/ Urban Outfitters owned wedding boutique when I was searching high and low for wedding stuff that didn’t suck?! (It’s much harder than you think!) I want an excuse to wear so many of these things. This calls for a redo! A “re- I do,” if you will. (sorry) (via Wedding Dresses, Event Dresses, Accessories and Party Decorations - BHLDN)
