GARMENTS IN BAGS/ maison martin margiela for h&m

If you haven't seen the Maison Martin Margeila for H&M collection yet...then why are you reading this?! You need to go there now and check it out!  Sure, it's a rehash of past collections, but for this to be brought to H&M with such amazing detail and craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! 

So, I'm sure you are wondering what I bought? I have opted for something a bit different...it's a garment bag from the collection worn as a scarf. Complete with all the numbers counting down to the release of the collection. Now, if I could just get that belt jacket...things would be complete.

FILM NIOR/ patricia field holster wallet

 

I love these glasses that were found during a recent trip to NYC. They remind me of the Maison Martin Margiela L'incognito sunglasses. I feel like Jayden in Heavy Rain wearing the Augmented Reality Glasses he uses during his crime scene investigations. The holster wallet was discovered at Patricia Field in NYC as well. I have wanted one of these for a long time and finally, I have it!

AT THE ALTER/ h&m suit

It's not like I have a lot of experience in the wedding department. I just heard somewhere that you shouldn't upstage anyone in the wedding party (Amanda told me that)...Actually, all of my wedding etiquette knowledge comes from Amanda, who does well to keep in informed of the proper do's and don'ts. One "do" would have been attending the Bassnectar concert that was taking place at the exact same time as the wedding at Red Rocks...Perhaps I should mention that the wedding was also at Red Rocks (Would it be wrong to say that my mind was more focused on that?) So in keeping it simple, and hearing "Yo" by Bassnector playing in my head,  I opted for a black suit and white button down for our friends wedding. This might just be my wedding attending outfit! Suit, shirt, done!...maybe I'll switch it up next time and wear brown shoes.

NEON BLOCKING/zara scarf

I always spoke about needing a fedora and then on our trip to Paris earlier this year, it seemed as if everyone was wearing one! So, for an accessory that cost less than 10 euro...I bring you this spring/summer color blocked look. 

...and yes, these pants come with their very own force field, how else do you think they stay so white?

BITTER/missoni for target scarf

Bittersweet, an amazing restaurant here in Denver. If you are ever in the area it's something that should be added to your "to do list." Amanda and I had some time to burn before the reservation so we stopped to do a shoot. I look at these pics and it makes me feel like I'm looking through some security video feed. I like parking garages....kind of a weird statement, sure...but, I like the raw industrial feel of concrete and the ominous lighting that these structures create.

CYCLE TECH/tumi tech messenger

This look reminds me of a spread I saw in an issue of Surface Magazine. I just remember how the stylist dressed up the typical casual look of a motorcycle jacket. Sure, the Surface spread used Armani motorcycle style leather jackets and Ducati motorcycles, but here's my interpretation. The credit should go to Amanda who thought that dressing this jacket up would be cool. I was surprised to hear her suggest this because she doesn't even like this jacket. To be honest this jacket has been hanging up in my room for a while now waiting for me to ride my bike again one day. I have been in one of those never ending project modes, you know the type...the ones where you have this great idea to work on something, but it just never happens. But, if anyone tells you that you can't make 1/4 inch bright green leather look good...tell him or her it's just not true! All you need is a great button down and a Tumi messenger bag and you're set.
