Iceland Fashion Part Three: Mitchell Stafiej


Some things are a long time coming, but when the time is right, they happen in a flash. Volcanoes are like this! So are trips and friendships. For our third installment of Iceland street fashion meet Mitchell Stafiej! Mitch is a fellow Iceland dreamer whose big trip came to fruition at the same time as ours (hell to the yeah)! We formed an instant bond at the airport while trying to figure out how to change our Canadian dolla-dollas into some sweet Icelandic kronur and board a bus bound for Reykjavik! Cool times when you’re workin' with zero hours of sleep from the flight over beside a very memorable seat mate next to Becky and I. Once we hit Reykjavik the three of us, along with a couple of wicked travel friends we made along the way, tore up the town under the light of the 24 hour sun.

Mitch isn't exactly from Iceland although I know he'll live there one day soon. And he sure was a hit with the Icelanders with that red hair and signature green cap. He sports a green and yellow flannel shirt, perhaps in a nod to his home town of Montreal (perhaps I just made that up) and gray cords, which is the perfect thing to wear there in June. Mitch finishes the look with a pair of Converse, mismatched laces and a camera - obviously the best accessory of all! In addition to being awesome Mitch is also a filmmaker and blogger, click here and you'll be inspired! So my Dears it has been a year since this trip and I've likely been caught in a time warp since then. That's the only way I can figure it! Another volcano has erupted in Iceland but to me this feels fresh as an Icelandic glacier. Thanks Mitch!
