my nana

and now for a few of my beloved nana (dad's mom). she died when i was 14 and in the summer right before high school. both my parents and my aunt learned of her death via answering machine thanks to my sweetheart of a grandad! i just recently learned that... as in when i was in ca visiting my aunt and uncle. how uncool!! anyways... here is my elegant and beautiful nana...

i don't know where this was taken or who was cut out of the picture, but i like this picture - and funny enough i still have the belt and the purse in this shot! her waist was rather small, so it can't actually be worn, but that's ok!


here's my nana when she was a girl. i am in love with this picture - and the bow in her hair!

and here's an older nana with me (in glasses again - yuck!!) and my brother in our house in houston. in this pic, she's wearing my favorite shirt of hers - she wore it a lot - i called it her lollypop shirt though i'm pretty sure they were really little tulips all over it... in any case, we still have this shirt somewhere too... we're pretty sentimental folk...


i mean, could this outfit be any more awesome?! dang, i wish i had that - i'd totally rock it (if i could fit it - she was tall, but tiny!) to a theme party!

and this is the 4 generations shot: my nana, mamoo (her mom), me and my momma.
and one last photo of my nana... it's a great picture of her, but i am coveting the handbag in the background - it's a gucci. it's definitely not something that is still in our family or it would already be in my closet!!!! gosh, i'd do a lot of things to get my hands on that bag!
