Giveaway: YogaMatic yoga mat

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Contests & Giveaways


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.

Get dressed on Stone Island

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Shoes, Vintage and Retro, Swimwear and Lingerie, Jeans, Men


Stone Island has released their Spring/Summer '08 line for men, and within it is something for everyone. The apparel and accessories are modern enough to be fashion forward but classic enough that they won't go out of style any time soon, which is good because what they offer isn't cheap.

However, unlike some companies, you do appear to get what you pay for when you shop Stone Island. According to the website:

...the aim of Stone Island has been to design innovative top line collections in the sportswear panorama, with a high concern in function and use of the garments.
