wishlist wednesday

things i'm currently coveting:


this would go great at the end of my bed. i love the color & fabric, but i need a little more storage than this offers.

i really want this bench from crate & barre it would work great as a window seat. however, it's more than i'd like to spend... so i think i can settle with:

this bench from target.

i have a pretty long wishlist for modcloth:

this t-shirt looks extremely comfy.

this adorable dress, would be great for summer weekends.

i might have to buy this little number for one of the weddings i'll be attending this year.

its name, grand birthday dress says it all.

this would go great with a tank, skinny jeans & pumps.

this necklace is super cute, and soldout. womp womp.

this headband is adorable.

music monday

so i've decided that i'm going to dedicate mondays to music; mostly just artists i'm feeling at the moment, or even singles.

and so, for my first music monday...

one of my recently discovered bands, that i'm currently enjoying is:



The Dimes

so, the dimes newest album The King Can Drink the Harbour Dry is somewhat of a history lesson. the song "Damrell's Fire" is about the great boston fire of 1872. "Abigail, Don't Be Long" is about Abigail Adams. "Walden and the Willow" is a song about historian and philosopher Henry David Thoreau; and "Save Me, Clara" is about the civil war nurse and founder of the american red cross, Clara Barton. that's just to name a few. the dimes give you the opportunity to listen to great music, and learn about this nation's history in the process! i think that's pretty awesome. ^_^

i tried to find a link for damrell's fire, but was unsuccessful. "/
so instead, you get a free download of celia's garden.
