HELL BUS TOUR.

Here is a nice little edit, put together by Cam Hardy himself, showing that all it takes to create some everlasting, sunny memories is a group of free spirited mates, their passports, BMX’s and a VW Transporter with a full tank. As well as a feel good edit,  Dunk got some sick shots from their road trip so check them out here.

Search and Destroy

There is some serious snow hating going on right now, so thought I’d give the snow the loving it deserves. Where better to start that the Burton Collection, injecting some life and colour into the winter blues, the collection has some beautiful/sick/cute/amazing/rad pieces both male and female collections looking strong. On the site there is a really useful (rad) tool ” The Great Outfitter” which lets you cutomize outfits, match up different items to see how your outfit would look when in differnt styles, colours, shapes. There is items for All Season, Mid-Winter and Sub Zero, sets you up for the whole year. If you need to inspiration when creating your look check out the pro riders to see what they/how they are wearing the clothes.

I’ll leave you with the video above some Snow Porn showing Mikey Rencz shreddin it up.

Casa Batllo Hotel – Barcelona



Also on the strip of Passeig de Gracia, you can find and take in the unique design of Casa Batlló – a building restored by Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol, initially built in 1877 and remodeled from 1905 through 1907. The local Catalan name for the Casa Batlló is “Casa dels ossos” which translates to “House of Bones.” The overall feel and design suits the name as many pieces resemble the morbid skeleton.

I really really want to go here. Anyone up for a little trip?

OSBORN DESIGN HANDCRAFTED FOOTWEAR

These super cute handcrafted beauties from Osborn Design, just landed in my inbox. I’m in awe…I love them (and the story behind the brand)…

“Co-founder Aaron Osborn, whose family runs one of the largest orphanages in Guatemala, stumbled upon the idea for Osborn in 2007 when he met an out-of-work cobbler while doing charitable work in the country. He and co-founder, Carla Venticinque, were searching for a way to combine their artistic backgrounds with their desire to uplift their adopted homeland. This search led to Osborn Shoes. That first cobbler still works with them full time, as do a small driven team of 20 other gifted artisans. Nestled in the volcanic mountains outside Guatemala City, these artisans craft shoes in a time honored old-world manufacturing environment dedicated to integrity and quality” – Osborn Design.



Visit their site for the full collection of unique handmade amazingness. Osborn Shoes are available from following online Stockists : Solestruck, Bona Drag, ModCloth and the Osborn Shop.
