Sea Worthy

Move over unicorns—mermaids are the season’s mythical “It” creature. From the 100th anniversary of Copenhagen’s famous Little Mermaid statue inspired by Hans Christian
Andersen’s legendary fairytale to Disney releasing The Little Mermaid on Blu-Ray, the

In addition to creating a college fund, parents of grade schoolers may want to start one for prom. The average prom attendee spent an average of $1,139 on gowns, limos and all the pre-promenade rituals such as updos and glittery manicures in 2013, reports Visa. That’s a five percent increase from the year before (nail art doesn’t come cheap). In the meantime, as piggy banks collect pennies, girls can hone their prom queen wave in this spring’s confection of frothy tulle and over-the-top Fifties-inspired prom frocks. — A.V.
