Our friend Nicole Giordano Ashjian is one of the creative minds behind the rad music site, My Indie Nation. She is also a DJ in the Central Valley and has some of the best style around — in music and in vintage fashion. She put together a fantastic playlist that perfectly captures the Spring Break vibe. Check out her set list on Spotify, 8tracks or track by track after the jump.

The days are longer and the flowers are making an entrance. Spring is for all of the free spirits who thrive on endless sunsets and spontaneous road trips. This playlist captures a garden of melodies fit for a sun-kissed adventure through the shadows of the trees. –Nicole
