Pop-Up Assault

I couldn't help but document this experience...

The other day I was assaulted by a "sexy Russian girls" pop-up, and after trying to close it out, this message appeared. Few things online make me laugh out loud. Props "Dream Marriage", props.

Strala-la-la-la

Hey fashion & style weirdos,

I've got some news! Though my heart lies in all things style, my mind & body are recently fully consumed by yoga.

I met Tara Stiles, the owner of Strala Yoga, after hitting up a few of her classes in SoHo. Everything about that place is charming - the teachers know everybody by name, they play music during the classes, everybody is always smiling and happy. It's weird...I think yoga does that...like, makes people happy and smiley. Just the act of doing it and getting into it. Creepy. But awesome.

So to make a long story short, I approached Tara (aka the Yoga Rebel) and proposed a blog series, "The Newbie Yogi" - chronicling the journey of a yoga beginner (me) - and all the thoughts and tips and experiences that go along with it.

So hop on over to the Strala Yoga Blog!! Click HERE to read my first entry!

children with swag *swoon*

I came across Children With Swag the other day - and while I hate the word "swag", I LOOOVE KIDS. Love em. This site features super stylin kiddos whose parents did an incredible job dressing them and want to brag about it.

I only put boys in there because, quite frankly, they're way cooler than girls (sorry, blah blah whatever). And yes I know Kingston is in there, I couldn't not. And yes, in case you want it, there's a whole Tumblr just dedicated to him.

NYTimes says shredded denim is...back?

Dear New York Times,

Look, you know I love you...but cotdamn sometimes your trend reports are so very sad:

You say shredded denim "has turned up again"...as in, it went somewhere...and now it's like, back...so now it's a must-wear...again.

Shredded denim - like leather jackets or white v-necks or or trench coats - isn't new, it never left, and it probably never will. Granted, if the shredded denim was suddenly pink or yellow or green, that would be noteworthy.

But plain denim??!! C'mon NYTimes!! I believe in you! I want you to be on-trend! Please dig a little deeper.

With love,
Mihal

more fun with Jezebel

I wrote another article for Jezebel! I actually wrote part of it on here first, then took it down after they accepted my pitch to write a full-length post on the same topic. So if you think you've already read it, you haven't. And you should definitely click HERE and check it oooouuuut. Gracias.

cobalt cobalt everywhere

Something seriously cobalt is going on here. I don't know how or why or when, but suddenly cobalt pants are everywhere.

In all honesty, I love cobalt. I think it looks good on basically everybody - and if you're curious about the cobalt pants trend, you'll probably be good money trying it out (it's a tough one to fuck up).

In even more honesty, when so many people are doing one fashion-thing, I'd rather lather my hands and feet with lube and do a yoga class, than jump on the trend train. It makes me feel cheap and used...like the retail version of a slutty college hook-up. I suppose I'll be sticking with my everyday black jeans for another decade, or until people have forgotten about cobalt all together...whichever comes first.

See you on the other side...
