My (Fake) Future's So Bright...

Yesterday my boyfriend and my little brother and I were checking out some music stores in the neighborhood. My boyfriend was looking for an electric guitar, my brother was looking for a pair of Pro-Mark drumsticks, and I was looking for the dramatic fantasies music stores so easily conjure within me ("I think I'm going to move to Nashville and start a folk rock band called Winona and the Corn Huskers! Serious! I just need to buy a van and learn to play an instrument.")

I came dangerously close to impulse-buying a banjo and a $900 drum kit before spotting these plaid sunglasses near the counter:


I tried them on, shrieked with delight, and slammed my debit card on the counter. "I'll take 'em," I said, "as long as they cost less than $900."

They were 12 bucks.

I love them so much I've been wearing them inside the house. And oh man are they gonna look great on stage in Nashville.

Stuff I Love: The Perfect Head-to-Bow Ratio

I love giant accessories. I also love math equations. So this 11-inch bow necklace makes me really excited.

p.s.Thanks so much to Amy for alerting me to its existence!

p.p.s.s. I keep glancing at that photo and thinking the model is me and being really impressed with the condition of my hair, then I'm like, "Oh wait, that's totally not me. And my actual hair is tied in a knot on top of my head with a rubber band I found on the floor at my office. Damn."
