What a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away

 I don't know what it is (Actually I do) but I've been utterly obsessing over the 50's 60's and 70's eras a whole lot more than normal. All of my inspiration lately has been coming from everything revolving around these times. I can't listening to Mickey & Sylvia, The Beach Boys, Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Heart...the list goes on. I'm genuinely obsessed. I'm freaking out because it was all so great. Like I can't handle the feeling I get while listening to music from those era's watching movies, looking at videos, pictures..even listening to people share their experiences from their, it's all so much to take in and I absolutely love it.

Now for all of the Christmas related pictures. I'm in love with vintage 70's Christmas pictures. I just spent like an hour browsing through some and you know how people say "A picture tells a thousand words"? Well yes, look at those people. Really look, don't just glance. Stare at them and imagine what it felt like to be them, with their family, around the ones they loved. They look happy. You can stare into their eyes and see pure joy and happiness. I love that. I love that sometimes their really are times where there is nothing to worry about, and maybe it should be like that all the time. Maybe people shouldn't worry at all. It does no good for you, right? Yeah.

To be completely honest today was one of the best Thursdays I've had at school in quite a while. To start things off, it's Holiday week, hence my red & green wardrobe and my reindeer antlers (Thanks Jared). Today was actually our "Deck The Halls" themed spirit day, which means dressing like it's Christmas time to sum it all up. People came (Mostly my leadership program we're all great) decked out in Santa Hats, Red&Green, Reindeer Antlers, Elves, etc. It was pretty perfect. Our school is also really festive and decorated nice for the first time since I've been in high school. It really feels like the Holiday Season there, which is great because I enjoy the Holidays a lot. 

Half of the time, it's sunny like it's July, but freezing like it January and I think it's really annoying. I hate sunny but cold weather because it just doesn't feel right. I love gloomy, stormy, freezing cold weather man. That's the best. We haven't got a lot of that yet. Oh California, I love you so, don't you know?

I hope everyone had a great Thursday, xx

Photo Diary

This past weekend I enjoyed a lot more than most of my recent weekends. My mom, younger brother, younger sister, and I all took a trip to The Bay Area to pay my grandma a surprise visit Saturday morning. I haven't saw her since May, but I haven't been to her house longer than I should have. I had so much fun looking through all of her clothes and jewelry, it was almost as if I've never even looked at any of it before! I guess when I have I wasn't really paying attention to how many vintage finds she has. It was amazing looking at all of her things that just might be owned by me one day. My favorite piece of jewelry she has would have to be her vintage Christian Dior earrings. They're elegant, sparkly, and overall just breath taking. Later on that day we all went to visit my grandpa's grave, which I have never been to. It was a great experience but was also an emotional experience for all of us. He died a month before I was born, and I think of him as my angel. Even though we never physically met, I know him, and I love him.

On Sunday my mom and I ran errands pretty much all day. One of the places we went to was Michael's to get Halloween decorations, and I was surprised that they already had a bunch of Christmas decorations all around the store! I love the holiday's, so seeing all of this made me happier than ever. We also got a few pumpkin candles that smell so delicious ahhhhhh~ In Walmart I saw Furby's, and I was in complete shock to see them. One, because I haven't caught sight of these things since I was smaller, and two, they're 54 freaking dollars. If I recall correctly, they were not that much before. But hey, whatever works. I want a yellow one honestly. I think I'll get myself one for Christmas.

~Happy Tuesday everyone~
