OUT OF CHARACTER/h&m color denim

I bought this brightly colored denim about a month ago at H&M on our Eastern European trip...Typically, bright colors aren't my thing, although I do have a soft spot for neon green...but that's just because my bike happens to be Kawasaki green. I bought these pants and didn't think of how I might style them...I just loved that they were so loud. I guess I was trying something a bit out of character for me. So, I bring you denim in bright blue, but a little roughed up with a touch of military.

STUFFY SOPHISTICATED SOCIALITE/h&m top hat

Although I feel like an interactive billboard for h&m with this outfit, I love this top hat. I have always wanted one and I could never really find one that I liked...until this one appeared on a recent shopping trip. With no tags, this great piece was hanging on a rack as if it was meant for me to find it! 

You don't have to be the Mad Hatter or even a stuffy sophisticated socialite to wear a top hat...and please don't be one that will only wear a top hat to a wedding (no offense if you happen to be one that has). Dressed up or down, a top hat is a must-have accessory. Next time I'll let my nerd flag fly and strap some goggles on for a steam-punk look.

DON'T LOOK UP/valley forge vintage military jacket

If you have been reading the blog then you know that I found this military jacket on my recent trip to Iceland...It's funny, I travel all the way to Iceland and find a vintage jacket from the Valley Forge Military Academy. After replacing a few missing buttons this jacket happens to be a great find! I really like the red stitching detail along the sleeves, epaulettes, collar and the arrows along the back. The details are subtle, yet amazing!

I like garages...There's something so dark and brooding with them. I like the cold cement walls and the florescent lighting. It creates a mood that for some reason I can never get enough of. Sure maybe shooting pics in one falls in the "Been there, done that," category...but, for me I could do it all day long and still find something just so awe inspiring.

WARPED SPACE/house of howe

I don't wear this blazer much...I even dusted it off for this post. This House of Howe blazer has this really cool lining made of an old tee, which is really cool! Guess, I should have taken a pic of it.

I received some great news today; 1) my pre-order from Luisaviaroma has shipped today, so by the end of the week I will have some pieces that have been my latest obsession...now, if I could just get a hold of one of the Alexander McQueen visors, I would be set. 2) I read an article that scientists are working on a warp drive engine.  Amanda thinks I'm crazy believing this is true, but she's a person that doesn't even believe in time travel...and she calls me crazy...

THE FUNK/nono muaks kick eyes glasses

Inspired by a pirate patch and 80's electro disco...that's right up my alley! I love the 80's. I can hear INXS and Human League right now...Wait, I'm sorry, that's Rick James- "Give It to Me Baby" playing. Well, that's Nono Muaks Kick Eyes glasses. So, maybe they aren't protecting you from UV rays, but who's thinking about that when you look so cool and funky!
