Yoga, once a quirky hippie habit, is now firmly in the trendy mainstream. You can express your personality while doing downward dog with all kinds of cool yoga pants, tops and bags. Only yoga mats seemed to be stuck in a boring constant, uniformly blue or purple -- until YogaMatic, that is.

YogaMatic makes custom yoga mats, allowing you to print them using the design of your choice -- either by uploading your own image for a unique, one-of-a-kind mat, or choosing from the gallery of beautiful photos and illustrations.

The company has a socially responsible stance, from eco-friendly production methods to donating a part of the proceeds to charity. They have an official alliance with Global Green USA, and also allow artists to identify the charity they would like to benefit from sales of their mats.

We're giving away a mat with one of the prettiest designs, the limited edition Daisy by Jennifer Cawley, one of YogaMatic's founders. It also comes with a cool black carrying bag, to make it easy to tote your mat from home to the yoga studio and back.

Interested? Follow these directions and maybe the lucky winner will be you! Namaste!

To enter, leave a confirmed comment with your favorite yoga pose.
The comment must be left before 5pm EST on Friday, July 25th.
You may enter only once.
One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
The winner will receive one yoga mat and carrying bag (valued at $85.00)
Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

Because no one likes looking at naked people...

... Okay, maybe not. But aren't elaborate, glittery costumes just as fun to look at?

Art classes are known for clusters of bored students mindlessly drawing equally bored naked models sitting in the center of the room. Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School is actually a more stylish -- and definitely more fun -- take on the age-old nude model session. It's, as the website describes, "what happens when cabaret meets art school". Anyone and everyone with their own supplies and paper can come in to the drawing session and sketch a beautifully-costumed burlesque dancer.

The original classes still take place in Brooklyn, but there are various other branches throughout the country -- not to mention the world! The last few times I planned to attend a Brooklyn session, my plans fell through. Luckily for me, I recently had the opportunity to attend a mini-session in Baltimore, and although it wasn't the full thing, it was amazing. The burlesque dancer (in my case, Kitty Victorian) was dressed in a stunningly shiny and feathery outfit, complete with top hat, and she was so much fun to draw. Not everyone in the room had previous drawing experience, but the great atmosphere was enjoyed by everyone.

Fifi Lapin is one fashionable rabbit

Filed under: Runway Trends

Part illustration blog, part fashion blog, part whimsy, the blog of Fifi Lapin, a couture-loving rabbit is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. Fifi is the heiress to a carrot and lettuce fortune which allows her to indulge her love of the latest styles straight off the runway. Here she is in the latest Chloe, a dress I recently saw on Michelle Williams.

Fifi is also for sale on Etsy. $40 gets you an original Fifi drawing in your choice of fashion attire from Diane von Furstenberg, Prada, Luella, Marc Jacobs or many others. So cute!
