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!

4 EYES/warby parker glasses







I've been putting off getting new glasses for a while and I'm not sure why...It quickly became one of those projects that you say you'll get to but never do. Then I stumbled upon Warby Parker...a site full of vintage inspired glasses. The cool part is that you get to pick some and in a few days they are at your door for you to enjoy for the next five days! After the trial period, return online and place your order.

It's not like I'm blind or anything...I describe my need for glasses as if someone sprayed Windex on my world, just like when you use the squeegee at the gas station on your windshield or making the move to HDTV.

I haven't had to make a decision this hard in a while...but then I thought 'why settle for just one pair?' I could get two or three...I could change them like my clothes or an added accessory. Even now I'm still trying to decide which ones I like best, but even if I never come to a decision, it's a good thing I ordered contacts.

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.
