Dream Car: 1962 Porshe 356

Ralph Lauren's Wet Dream

This is a 1963 U.S. Postal Issued Messenger bag. Ralph Lauren pays people to scour the world and internet to find the most authentic goods. This is a perfect example of a reinterpretation (or copy) of a classic design.

This is the Ralph Lauren Deerfield Vachetta Messenger Bag from the 2010 collection.

another beautiful documentary. I just love the idea of the timeless pieces that continue to be interesting and worthwhile.

This video is what validated my life plan. I was lost at SCAD in a world of fashion and accessories that seemed trivial and irrevelant to what I felt was right. I wanted to make timeless pieces that would last the test of time and my teachers were pushing the disposable ideal of trends on me. I think this company is everything that is right in new American manufacturing system.

Abercrombie does something right?

these two jackets are the first things that I have considered buying from Abercrombie and Fitch since middle school. The leather appears to be of great quality and the overall silhouette looks to be spot on.

Phenomenal.

The Klon Centaur

this is supposedly the best guitar pedal ever created. they sell for $325, which is not really bad considering the reputation that it has. that is, however, straight from the manufacturer which has a wait list up to six months or more to receive the pedal. one can purchase one from ebay for around $800 and get instant gratification. it haunts my dreams and must be mine.

Need new boots.

Bon Iver

The weather right now is the perfect counterpart to one of my favorite albums ever. Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago fits in extremely well with the cold temperature and rain. If I had a tin roofed cabin in the middle of the woods and this LP, life would be perfect.

Cave Spring Antiques

On December 4th 2009 I made the short trip to Cave Spring, Ga for some rummaging through old antique stores. While driving around the area looking at old Victorian style houses, I ended up getting a little bit turned around found one of the most interesting and unique antique stores that I have ever entered. These are pictures from the store/house/dump.

This is the view of the store from the road. The house is over 160 years old and is literally falling down around all of the historic items within.
