I’ll tear this whole city down

Melancholy, anti-climactic evening following my last day of fashion school. I went out and bought a tropical print graduation dress, then bought some booze. Now I’m hanging out with the girls. Tomorrow’s the big day…

Sabrina & I in class this morning, sleep deprived and full of Korean Choco-pie. Sab was the first person I ever spoke to when I moved into FIT’s dorms. I never imagined she’d become the only lady in my life who knows me through and through. What a gal!

I’ll never forget this place or these people, that’s for sure.

Michelle Christina Larsen (a.k.a. Mishka) founded heymishka.com in 2008, and has since documented her love of DIY, vintage, and creative living here. She curates and sells vintage fashion at Hey Mishka Vintage and runs the annual Sugar x Spice Holiday Makers Market in Brooklyn each holiday season. When she's not blogging, hunting for vintage, or doing DIY projects, Michelle Christina writes marketing copy for fashion brands and helps freelance writers grow their careers at Day Job Optional.

HEY! I'm Mishka (or Michelle Christina, MC, Meesh... depends who you ask).

This is my sparkly little corner of the internet, where I've been blogging since 2008.

I created this blog because I believe life should be fun. Life should be creative.
Life should be festive.

Of course, life is other things too, but these three things get pushed to the back burner as soon as we hit the "real world" of adulthood, and I believe that to be the underlying cause of so much emptiness and stress in modern life.

This space is dedicated to adding a bit more fun, creativity, and festivity to your day, so you'll never forget that there's always something to smile about.

I live in Brooklyn where I write, curate vintage, and dream up DIY projects. I strive for creativity and joy, but never perfection. Perfection is never the point around here. So let's make a colorful, lovely mess together!
