ALL USED UP/marc jacobs button down

So, there are some great neon signs in our neighborhood and I spent one night taking a few pictures of the signs that lined the street from old motels, music venues and car lots ...they are such relics of the past. I mean, everywhere we go now it's all about LED lighting or some kind of outdoor screen allowing businesses to play customized videos to advertise their goods. I'm not one to complain, and I'm one to fantasize of a modern city looking like some kind of dystopian future found in Ridley Scott's Bladerunner with images of attractive women advertising products and the obligatory product placement of Coke...I have to admit I'm more of a Pepsi person if I had to choose.

Every night I stare out of my bedroom window and see this used cars sign. I love the way it looks, there's just something about it. It's amazing...not to mention it happens to be on the old car lot once belonging to Amanda's father!

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.

FATALITY/demobaza matt killer hoody

I love this hoody by Demobaza...and I love this killer mask from Patricia Field! I feel like a character from Mortal Kombat. Even during this shoot, the sky became grey, overcast and I heard a voice that said, "Finish Him!" Even writing this I'm thinking of throwing a spear to impale someone in the chest and draw them close to me while yelling, "Get over here!"  I could use some more Demobaza in my life and if you haven't seen their new collection it's definitely worth it...there's a ninja top I have my eye on!

VALLEY FORGE/vintage military jacket

I found this military jacket in a really great store called Kassetta on our recent trip to Iceland. It's like it was meant to be...I traveled all the way to Iceland to buy a vintage jacket from The Valley Forge Military Academy.

And how cool is this skull tee?! Can you really go wrong with a skull?...actually, I'm pretty sure there's a skull gone wrong out there. But, if you are in Iceland definitely check out Suzie Q found around the corner from Kaffibarinn.
