STUDDED MIRRORS/adidas originals

I can't remember the last time I bought a pair of Adidas...but, when I saw these I had to have them! I know the picture is void of color, but believe me when I say that the studs and Adidas symbols in gold look amazing...they do!

THE DEATH OF DYSKO/mixcrate mix

So, as we head in a new direction with the blog...We, that being Amanda and myself have created our first posts based on metallic objects. You should really see Amanda's post, which can be found here... SEE/femme

I have decided to take a different approach to the metallic subject matter...If you have placed your seat in the upright position, then prepare yourself for my thought process. Please make sure that you keep your feet and hands inside the ride at all times... So, as I couldn't see myself using the same poses found at Dollhouse Vacancy I thought, what am I to do? As I was completing a new set based on the musical progression of disco to what is now house music...now, prepare yourself...disco equals disco ball, house music is now the new disco and has been for a while. Disco ball equals shiny reflective ball which in turn shows shiny images on the dance floor. These reflective images are displayed in the image of the new mix set (see above). So, now do you see how this image coincides with a metallic them? Good!

Anyway, enjoy as you are now bound for a very interesting ride... Did I mention this is a free download?

ALMOST LIKE MCQUEEN/avelon pop jeans

I still can't get enough of these Avelon pop jeans...dressed up, dressed down, it doesn't matter they still look good. I fell asleep in them the other day, so I woke up looking good! I don't wear this wasitcoat very often, but it's a great one! I bought it in Paris and Amanda thought I had to add it to my wardrobe as it was very Mcqueen...and she was right! 

These Carrera sunglasses are my new accessory of the season...and yes, I fell asleep wearing them as well.

COVERED UNDER THE SUN/zara crossover jacket

As promised, here's the front of the Zara crossover jacket. I know it's not a great time to be posting pieces that are more fitted for fall, but this jacket is too cool! I'm already plotting my purchases of pieces that will be amazing once the weather has cooled...Cinzia Aria shoes, Demobaza jacket, Rick Owens...the collections for this upcoming season are perfection. So, place your pre-orders now and don't miss out! 

By the way, my Demobaza scarf arrived today. Although, it's far too hot to break that out just yet...but, there is a cold front moving so maybe I can get away with it.

WOLF THIS/more avelon pop jeans

Can you think of any better way to combat this summer heat than by wearing a ballistic sytle vest, a scarf and a snap back hat?  I can't, but it sure does look good...sometimes you just have to deal with it.

I made an observation today about my wardrobe... it's not summer friendly. It's a closet full of jackets, blazers, denim, sweaters, boots and anything else that screams, 'This is not for summer fool!' Oh well, I guess I just wasn't meant to live on a beach or any other place that has over 75 degree weather...It goes without saying, it comes to no surprise as to why I would purchase a Demobaza scarf that should be delivered this week... I'm still trying to figure out how I'll be able to pull that off in August.

WARNING: Don't try to replicate this look at home during these hot summer days... I take no responsibility if you do. You have read this warning...needless to say I will not be wearing leather pants or a hooded cardigan in 90 plus degree weather again. I really wanted to wear this newly purchased piece...but was it worth it? Of course it was! Will I do it again...Yes, but not until fall.

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.

BULLETS OVER BAMBI/marc jacobs cuff

I'm not one for jewelry... in fact, until recently (the last few years). This is all new to me and the funny thing is, I'm wearing all that I own in this pic! I'm not into really into rings as I've owned a few and each was lucky to stay on my finger longer than a day before ending up in a box never to be seen again.  But, I have taken an interest in some of those double finger rings... and I will admit that I'm really into cuffs...now that's something that I could wear all the time!

You won't find me in gold...just not really a fan, but Lovebullet's Bullet Bracelet is the closet thing to gold I'll ever get!

I would like to give a shout out to AccuWeather for showing me the near 70 degree weather that's on the way. I can't wait for the clear skies and warm nights of summertime. 

This pic really came out well featuring my new Ceasare Paciotti sunglasses...If I had a self titled debut album of a set that I released, this pic would be part of the insert along with other crazy images to give listeners a glimpse of my thought process. What am I talking about if?! Hell, I'll just put together a full set, not the 20 minute snippets that I release on Mixcrate, but a full on set...so stay tuned and be prepared to listen to some really good music and listen to it LOUD!

STANDARD ISSUE STREET SOLDIER/jordan craig camo cargo pants

"Standard issue street soldier..." If you have ever see The Chase from the 90's then you know what I'm talking about. Henry Rollins was actually pretty funny in a movie that wasn't setting any box office records. But I have to give credit where credit is due, any man that can get it on with Kristy Swanson while leading cops on a high-speed chase towards the Mexican border, definitely has skills...I tip my hat to you Charlie Sheen. 

I've always wanted some camo pants and I must admit that I have been pushing off that purchase until I saw these Jordan Craig cargo pants courtesy of Jack Threads. But if you are looking for something to hide you in the sprawling urban jungle then look elsewhere...I can still see myself in these pics...

BETWEEN THE LINES/replay vintage sunglasses

Lately I've been feeling a bit of 80's nostalgia coming on...I even spent one day this weekend playing old school video games; Pac Man, Tron, Star Wars Arcade. If you are ever in Denver you can find all of these classics at Punch Bowl Social...good food and games...you can't go wrong with that! 

I bought this 'Only in America' tee by Deter a few weeks ago; and I love it! But, I love these sunglasses by Replay Vintage even more! Every time I wear them I'm transported back in time as though I'm cheering on Emilio Estavez trying to reach level 13 in that movie Nightmares...and so what if I've only worn these glasses twice, I still feel like I'm transported back in time when I put 'em on!

#THE DARK SIDE OF '93/ new mixcrate upload

I have been listening to some old school drum and bass...I love this stuff and it never gets old. So, I have compiled a few tunes in a set that take me back to when it was about samples, distorted basslines and chopped up beats. This is where it all started...ENJOY! 

WARNING: This is not for the faint of heart. Do not listen to this mix if you have an electronic implanted medical device of any kind such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump or if you are pregnant.

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!
