A New Slutty Trend I Like
I’ve been saying it for years. A decade maybe. Since Limited Too started doing bandeaus that one season. None of you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, summer — best season for dressing, been saying it for years. Good time to play with slutty clothes and get away with it because you pretend you’re hanging out at that summer camp Dirty Dancing is set at where tight, skimpy...

“every day when my mailman leaves and we say goodbye he ALWAYS SAYS ‘should be all right. what the heck.’
like what?
how is that your catchphrase?
at what point do you say “should be all right. what the heck.” and think to yourself, yes, this is it. this is what i will say every day?”

Good and Bad Parts of Hot Yoga
The point of Bikram yoga, according to Bikram himself (who, kind of disappointingly, ISN’T some mystical Indian healer who lived 300 years ago but rather is this totally normal dude who was born in 1946), is to encourage blood and oxygen flow throughout all parts of the body through a series of compressions and relaxations. For me, the point of Bikram yoga is to get the fuck off my ass and do...

Ok, fine, one comment: these look like something suburban women hook on to their handbags to hold their antibacterial hand sanitizers at the ready.
Sexi.
I’ve counted 11 Bikram Yoga studios in Manhattan alone and they all offer intro month specials so theoretically i could just hop among them and be set for a year and if i don’t make more money within the next 11 months to be able to afford a real membership to a bikram studio i will be 2 wildly homocidal/suicidal for yoga anyway so its all working out everything’s coming up...
This blog post on Idealist lists basic financial advice for recent ~grads~. There’s a whole paragraph that suggests setting money aside for a “wedding fund” so you’re prepared for the costs of attending the myriad weddings you’ll be invited to once all your college friends start getting married.
Hahahaha. A wedding fund.

Colleges Soak Poor Students to Funnel Aid to Rich →

U.S. colleges such as Boston University are using financial aid to lure rich students while shortchanging the poor, forcing those most in need to take on heavy debt, a report found.

Great hot style tips on the online today for street style girls who love a good fashion.
First up, StyleMint shows us a few ~~different~~ ways to style a Maxi Dress because, they say, “Maxi Season is Here.” (Along with 10 billion cicadas. Related?)
Anyway, first look idea appears to be simply, wear this maxi dress. It is called Wynona. Put it on the way you’d put any dress on:

I had fallen into conversation with the affinity marketer (beard, plaid flannel shirt, vintage work boots) in the lobby of the Wythe hotel in Williamsburg, a beehive of instrument-bearing musicians, nose-pierced locals and twentysomethings who use the word “ridiculous” in nonpejorative contexts. I guessed aloud, “So, like, if I buy a pair of shoes, then you’ll try to sell me socks?” The affinity...

KMart I guess
I don’t know, guys. I don’t know. Last night I stopped at the Astor Place KMart before my Second Attempt at Going to Bikram Yoga (SAGBY) because I realized I forgot a towel and had to buy one ($3.99 Everyday Deal). I had some time to kill and ended up browsing the Junior’s department and I don’t know, guys… I like…. don’t hate the “Dream Out...

Bikram Yoga Groupon: Day 1 [Failed]
Go on Monday. Your $50 month of unlimited 100-degree yoga starts MONDAY.
Be there.
Except I was NOT there. I left work too late. I had no lock for my locker. I had no water and you’re supposed to bring like 1000 liters of water. I had no towels. Some people had two, three towels. I hadn’t printed my Groupon. I didn’t have the Groupon app on my phone. I showed up for a 6:30...

Blazers: Why?
I’m just sick of blazers, you guys. Tremendously sick of them. I’m sick of them being sold at every store, fancy-lady stores and cool-high-street stores alike, and looking equally frumpy in the fitting rooms of both. I’m sick of them being recommended for interviews and cocktail parties and layered over silky tank tops for hot nights out. I’m sick of them being made of...

I have spent the past year of my life debating whether or not to try Bikram yoga.
Every time someone uses the word “rockstar” in marketing copy or otherwise, Satan blows a mountain of dead baby cocaine and dresses up in a gown made of the living hides of endangered animals and puts on a perpetually firing necklace of AK-47s and jams the heel of his 40” black patent leather stiletto over and over again into a box full of corgi puppies.

Weather is creeping toward warmdom and, like slutty clockwork, so too is my craving for tiny high-waisted shorts. Tried on these neon leopard ones (lol) just for kicks at Forever 21 Times Square Experience and, well, fuck, I had to adopt them. $18 only! And like, these will NEVER go out of style.
