HUNGRY LIKE THE/m style wolf snap back

I am a fan of the cool snap backs that have been making an appearance lately...not the sports ones, but I'm talking about the ones with spikes...the ones adorned with metal plates or the ones that spell out "Y$L" or any other sweet phrase. I found this one while surfing the ebay listings and I loved that it spells "WOLF" and I love these crazy metal bolts attaching it to the hat!

When I wear it...all of a sudden I hear the lyrics to "Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran.

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.

THE CAMPAIGN/shwings

I've been a fan of Shwings since Amanda bought me a pair she found at Kitson. That first pair turned into a second pair in camo...so you can imagine my surprise when I got a sweet delivery from Shwings hooking me up with several pairs! I couldn't believe it! I wanted to do something special for this post and what better way than to present them as a campaign ad. Thanks Shwings!

If you don't own a pair...what are you waiting for? GO GET SOME HERE!

UNDER LOCK AND KEY/zara cowl neck sweatshirt

I think that most people buy souvenirs on trips to remember their experience...I guess my  souvenirs are the clothes that I purchase. I'm sure that you can pick this sweatshirt up at any Zara and if there's not a Zara near you, you can shop 'till you drop on their online shop...But, you can't purchase the experience and that's priceless. So, every time I put this sweatshirt on I'll remember my experience in Budapest...

I'm still loving my Maison Martin Margiela keyring necklace.

3D DIGITAL/maison martin margiela belt jacket

Grab your 3D glasses because this post will be as though I'm right there with you! Each shot is in IMAX 3D...actually, I'm joking, but if you do have some old retro red and blue 3D glasses and I am in 3D, let me know. I just wanted to add a cool effect to these pics. 

It's really been getting cold here and I thought that I could be just as cool as Rodarte by playing with knits and leather to stay warm. I like the unconventional mix of materials as those Rodarte sisters are brilliant! 

Considering the world didn't end on the 21st, I suppose we should all begin to prepare ourselves for 2013...where the heck did 2012 go? I have plans for 2013, so bring it on!

H&M is such a great place...If you think of it, they probably have it! The pieces you can find there are amazing, but the collaborations they do with such well known fashion houses are even more amazing!

Here I am wearing more MMM for H&M. I love this key ring necklace! After Amanda bought one, I had to have one too...and with this being such an unpopular collection in Denver I was able to snag this at an unbelievable price. I just can't believe that people weren't  fighting in the streets for such impeccable pieces! Oh well...

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.

KATE MOSS IS MY GIRLFRIEND/demobaza mat killer hoody

 

I know I've worn this Mat Killer hoody from Demobaza before, but I don't think that I can get enough of it. I still cannot believe the detail the construction of this piece! If you haven't seen anything by Demobaza then they are definitely worth a look...and if you haven't purchased a piece by Demobaza, then what have you been spending you're hard earned funds on?! It should be at least a piece by this amazing duo from Bulgaria. 

I saw the madness that issued from Kate Moss being at Collette in France today.  I figured nobody can get closer to her than me...she's on my tee by Deter! I need a few more of these tees too...the gas mask tee or even the bizarre x-rated tee, I think, are two that need to be added to my collection.

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE/jack and jones sun jacket

When I saw this 80's inspired Jack and Jones jacket I had to have it. But unlike the movie Hot Tub Time Machine, I didn't travel through time to be standing on some snow covered mountain peak like John Cusack in Better off Dead...Don't be fooled, I do believe in time travel and if I wear this jacket enough it may just happen.

...Now where did I put my Zack Morris phone?

Here's another piece of my Demobaza pre-order. How cool are these deconstructed fingerless gloves? I am definitely a believer in Demobaza and will be purchasing more pieces soon! 

Well, in a few hours I'll board a plane...next destination, Iceland! Are you ready?

This is Digital Vacancy...signing off.

Finally, after a waiting that seemed longer than eternity, I received my Demobaza piece from a pre-order placed with Luisaviaroma. I stumbled upon this Bulgarian clothing line while searching for something to fuel my need of a post-apocalyptic futuristic style. I know this has been one of my latest obsessions and the pieces from Demobaza fit my need perfectly. I plan on purchasing more as the construction of this piece is amazing! I still waiting for a pair of wool knit fingerless gloves from this same collection.

 Who needs a moon boot when you can have a space boot?! The moon is in space and space is infinite...Sorry, Napoleon Dynamite, you've just been one up'ed. I feel like I have been transported back to 1985 and I think Human League is playing in the background...Yep, it is! I just bought these Raf by Raf Simons demin and Forfex shoes courtesy of Yoox. The Jack and Jones jacket was bought from Jeans & Co. and with it's retro look, completes this 80's interpretation.

IT'S A WRAP/hip and bone linen tee

Another zara scarf? Sure...but this one I was purchased in Madrid and every time I wear it, I'm reminded of that that trip. It was that last minute trip that took us to Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid, that I realized...Barcelona is my home. I loved it there! The tee is a find that's courtesy of My Habit.  

I have to say that this Labor Day weekend has been great! I finally have resurrected my bike and she's running better that ever. So, I've spent the past days riding around and enjoying every minute.  Now it's project time round 2, FIGHT! I have been envisioning my bike being transformed into this hybrid cafe/street fighter. And now it's time to get to work!
