how amazingly weird...

santigold is.

I absolutely love the song "L.E.S Artistes" by her. The video is something that I've never seen in a music video... very interesting.

my grandfather...

during World War II. he put this album together of priceless photos of when he was in africa, italy, and france building bridges that were destroyed by the war. he never talked about the war... he didn't have to. he had his book to recall the memories some good, some not so good. i just find this book simply breathtaking. it's something you have to experience in real life .... my photos don't do its justice.

he burnt the eagle into the wood cover by hand. 

every page was so delicate. the paper has seen better days.

grandpa showing off his guns... and i believe in every picture.

You're Invited!

That's right. It's my 21st birthday and tomorrow night I'm having people over for a party and we are going to have a good ole' time. Games, drinks, cake/food, and bars. Who could ask for more? just give me a call if you need directions...
:D

Toms...

i've been following them for over a year now but what a great cause... i hope that everyone will check out TOMS.
i know i'm going barefoot tomorrow. are you?

i can't seem to decide...

what i want to do for my 21st birthday (april 15th).

i was thinking on having people over that friday to my apartment or to my boyfriends house & then hit up some bars... boring? i guess not with my crazy friends.

any suggestions?

oh what a lovely thing to do...

MARVELOUS KIDDO 

is currently giving away quite the beaute! 

a ring that is, if you comment on her blog 

(& two points if you blog about it also!)

i can't help but notice how adorable her little 'kiddo' is!!

 how delightful are his curls and puppy dog eyes?!

 oh how i love kids... i can't wait to see my nieces and nephews this summer!

the ring that's being giving away is amazingly imperfect. 

i love the meaning behind it:

"Inspired by the idea of imperfection - in nature, in people and in life. This jewelry defines acceptance. What may be considered inconceivable flaws to other jewelers- file markings, visible seams and unpolished edges are the trademark of Beauty in Imperfection. The forms are simple and graceful but the blemishes are what give the jewelry depth and character."

I WANT THIS!

how adorable is this stamp?! it's vintage for the 50s and I can't help but notice that it has only a certain amount of years on it. how weird to think that someone in the 2000's would be drooling over it. 

HelloVictory is where I found this on etsy!

oh it's just you and me...

being dupid.
