When the weekend rolls around, I’m happiest at home, tending to my to-do’s that have taken a backseat to my busy weekdays and nights. This weekend is no different, with my task list growing by the day, and while I certainly take pride in my attention to the little things, it’s my playlists that keep me going through the day. Changing my sheets and organizing my clothes/dirty laundry/new spring clothes is so much more fun with music to set the pace.

{Vers Sound System iPod Speaker, $220.00}

I’ve had the same set of speakers now for 4 years and they’re starting to lose their magic, so I’ve got my eye on a couple new systems just in case of an emergency. The contradiction of vintage design and modern technology strike a very pleasant cord with me, and I’d love nothing more than to stash one by my bedside. I adore the one from Vers (above), but would settle for either of the two below if I want to keep my budget on the lower end.
