Fancy Pants

Recently my grandmother, Frances Mary Ferranti-Walker, has passed away. After her death, her three daughters(my mom included) divvied up what she had left behind. I was the first born grandchild in the family and she was so excited, she went out and bought a jewelry set in my birth stone—Garnet. She will remain forever in my heart, and this set will always be very dear to me.

Lights & Music

On the ride from Elkhart to Muncie I took a few snapshots of the road and the lights. They started out shaky, but I think the last two turned out pretty good... eh?

DIY #1

Step 1. Buy a pack of boy's Fruit of the Loom v-neck shirts

Step 2. Cut off the collar of the "v", but leave the seam 

Step 3. Snip away and create a look that fits you

Step 4. Pull at the holes to make them look rugged

a "v" of holes

an inverted "v" in the middle of the back

Thursday Threads

Everyone put on your blue suede shoes again, cus the snow is melting and I'm already wishing for the spring time. Today I wore this legit DCFC shirt from a show I went to in Chicago. I <3>

Thanks, Dazed!

It's great to know that every month Dazed Digital has a solid playlist. 

I especially love the January one, check it out!

My favorite song is "My Love Sees You" by Beni,

For Janelle

I'm going to start updating my homework sketching as a part of my homework. There's the criteria, and there are my "5 minute, 5 quick" scribbles.

My teacher is so organized, I love it.

Yay, I got a check mark!

The left page was drawn with my left hand, the right with my right.

(Obviously I'm right handed)

Enjoy, Janelle :)

Three of my favorite things this week include:

Listening to: Explosions in the Sky (all albums, all day long)

Aren't Saturday nights just glorious? Here's a few photos from last night, complete with chandelier, my two favorite black people and my new friend "Natasha the Russian." (She's not really Russian and her name is actually Jessie)

Quote of the Day

Me: "Have you worn your new shoes yet?"

Ben: "No, cus they're like not hard and gangster enough... and that's me."

Love from Peru

One of my dearest friends, Christopher (aka XopherWells via Twitter), went to Peru and got me this awesome pendant. It's from the Inca tribe or something, how awesome?

Quote of the Day

Me: "It's been freaking cold out and I'm not taking pictures of birds"

Kareem: "I'm pretty sure the birds are dead anyway"

Room Renovations

After coming back to a rather boring room, I decided to spice it up. Not only did I decorate my room, but my nails got some attention too. There's my pinkie finger with 3 flakes of glitter clustered together, I call it "glittery winter" like the paper snowflakes I made.

This is the wall I decorated, from top to bottom. 

I call it my "wall of fame."

Listening to: S.L.U. by Clipse

Finally

I'm back. It has been a rough few days or so, but everything is going to be fine. Now for some artists that I love!

Teenage Takeover at Dazed Digital has been the bulk of my reading as of late. 

This article in particular is about online fame and why youngsters especially strive for it, quite interesting. 

These lovely ladies are the women of Les Corps Mince de Francoise. 

They're witty and gorgeous, how nice?

I got this photo from Misshapes.com, isn't Uffie just wonderful? 

She's such a little spitfire and I highly suggest her tunes.

Ahh, finally. Santogold. One of my top ten favorite artists of all time.

Jaime wears black,

But what about me? To me, black and classic are the same thing, no matter the style. It's clean, it's flattering, and it's taking over my closet! I just reorganized my shoes and realized how much black I really wear—a lot. No need to worry though, Jaime still takes the cake in wearing black and making it look totally awesome. Holler girl!

Listening to: Black Wave/Bad Vibrations by Arcade Fire

SantoGOLD Nails

Dull nights have been the norm as of late, thus I resort to painting my nails all crazy. I figured a name like SantoGOLD would suit this combo well. It mimics that of the album cover with sparkly gold, but flat black. 

Am I the only one who names their nail polish combos?
