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.

THE COVETED/rick owens boots

I've coveted these Rick Owens boots for a very long time. I saw countless pictures of people everywhere flaunting the fact that they had them and I didn't...I was determined to not let this be another McQueen situation. Just to jog your memory a bit, I still want the Alexander McQueen visor from F/W 12. I was just always a bit late to get one and when I did have the opportunity, I hesitated and missed out on an amazing opportunity...Since then I have vowed never again! So, after months of wanting, waiting and fate having a good day, the chance to own these amazing boots was presented in all their glory! This time, I would be the victor!

CROWD CONTROL/patrica field killer mask

I know that I haven't been around for a bit...but we're back from Europe and ready to back to work. Actually, I can't believe I was able to come up with a shoot as I'm suffering from a serious bout of jet lag right now. Lucky for me I purchased this mask from Patricia Field before the trip and I now present it to you as my crazy interpretation of fashionable riot gear!

BACK IN BLACK/zuriick spina boots

I've seen these Zuriick boots before and I this time I finally made the move to purchase them...which was more of an technological glitch, but I can't say I regret it and I like them even more in person! So, I placed these boots in my online shopping cart and just expected to think of any reason why I shouldn't buy them...we have all been here before, the impulse purchase and before making the move, the thoughts of why you shouldn't do this dance through your head. Since I figured I had some time to ponder the reality of purchasing these boots, I'm sure you could imagine my surprise when I looked at my phone to see an alert thanking me for my purchase! 

It was as though these boots were telling me that they wanted to come see me. (note to self...don't save a card number on a frequently visited site again.) With only the ability to modify the shipping address...it was as though it was meant to be.

FORSHADOW/ceasare paciotti 4us

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!

FEELING LUCKY?/ deter only in america deter tee

 

I scored this Margiela cuff at H&M for $5...that's right $5! You can't pass up a deal like that, so I purchased a few more pieces between $15 and $20. The Deter tee I'm wearing cost me more, but its super cool...so, no complaints here!

I'm digging the retro look of these Replay Vintage sunglasses. For some reason I have really started to find inspiration in things from the past. Clothing, music, movies...Now where is my copy of GZA's Liquid Swords?

P.S. if you haven't already done so, follow this link to check out my latest set under my AKA Qualifid MTRL  #the dark side of '93 a free download on mixcrate.

COLD WAR ERA/russian military hat

I found this hat in a vintage store and couldn't pass up the chance to own such a cool piece of history. This isn't your typical store find...This is an authentic Soviet Ushanka and it even has something written in Russian along with the date of 1984!  Every time I wear it I feel as though the cold war is still on!

PRINTED KNITTING/maison martin margiela for h&m tromp l'oeil sweater print shirt

Here's one of the Margiela pieces for H & M. I know it looks like a sweater, but it's actually a printed image of a sweater. It may not have been love at first sight, but it has definitely grown on me...I guess nothing seems as amazing as the belt jacket from this collection. I'm still trying to get my hands on one along with one of those Alexander McQueen visors from the AW12 collection. I will have one...I will...

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...

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!

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!
