spring music preview

It’s not only the weather we’re looking forward to for Spring- it’s the new music. Rolling Stone just released their list of the best new albums of the season. I’m really excited about MGMT’s new album,“Congratulations”, as well as Jack Johnson’s “To The Sea”.

From now until summer, good music is just a click away.

It has a great all over texture feel to it, plus a fun and quirky color combination.”  We love how it looks on the Jody skirt!!
