Hello Lovelies,
( Degas, The Dance Class at Opera,1872)
Well, my highlighter bright ballerinas have arrived and I am gaga head-over-heels in love with them. Typically for someone who avoids loud colors, this is quite a bold change. They are perfect…
I’m not sure why I’ve been obsessively buying ballerinas… maybe because after so many years spent dancing ballet, they feel natural to me. I love the way they make me feel - they remind me of my dancing years and in that moment I feel like a little girl wanting to be a ballerina all over again. All I need is a tutu and I’m ready for the Swam Lake, lol.
To some flats ruin the outfit, to others they are just dull, but to me they are irresistibly adorable and chic. I love wearing them during the warmer seasons, usually instead of sandals.
How do you feel about ballerinas ( by that I mean shoes, lol)??? Love/Hate them?
As for today’s outfit that I wore to dinner with Andrew…
Well it was definitely stepping outside my comfort zone. At least in terms of color. A bright top and a loud shoe… that for me is quite something.
I am wearing: Totem ( amazing Brazilian line) Top the line is available at ASOS;J Brand 12″pencil in jett; Mackage Leane Leather Jacket; Pretty Ballerinas Rita Flat; diamond studs( gift from parents); Swarovski Love Charm Bracelet ( gift from Andrew)
Ooh, I also paid a visit to my hairdresser for my monthly trim and some lowlights…I added a bit of golden tone but nothing too drastic. I am totally paranoid not to ruin my hair by coloring it, so I stay away. Today I decided to wear it naturally, which is wavy and big, lol. Sometimes it is so difficult trying to decide to wavy or straight.
Products of the Moment
Also, I want to mention a few awesome products that I’ve been using and totally loving.
♥ It is absolutely amazing.
♥ Not only does it contain SPF but it prevents my face from getting oily throughout the day.
♥ Before this I used Smashbox or Chanel Primer, but I love this soooo much more and it is much cheaper.
♥ I am not a big fan of MAC but I really do love this product.

I would like to send out a huge thanks to everyone. I apologize for taking so long to respond,I am bombarded with exams. I am trying to post regularly and promise to get back to each and everyone as soon as I can.
I can’t wait to be done… but it seems like it will never happen. Slowly my positivity is fading.
I wish you all a beautiful day!!!!
With Love…

love colors on you! brave move on that highlighter ballerina and that top! looks good on you.
Love ballerinas too. but not as much as you do! i wanna be a ballerina though. haha
I think your hair looks great when it’s wavy, not big at all!
And I absolutely love ballet flats, too. I want to get myself a pair of Pretty Ballerinas or French Soles! They are also perfect for walking-cities where heels are just not an option, unless you have a chauffeur!
love the shoes ! their color so cute :]
Omgosh pleaseee tell me where you got those shoes they are so cute! And I totally know what you mean about ballet. I used to dance ballet too, but I still own ballet shoes because I love them so much!
Wow those are bright. Very cute. I tend to stay away from flats because I’m short so I prefer heels.
Very interesting flats. I like how they’re so left field.
Oops that was me on that last comment.
Wow - lucky you! All these great clothes all the time. Those ballerinas are awesome and just funky enough. I love ballerina shoes (am wearing my Kate Spade yellow ones at the mo) but probably because I can’t usually wear heels that often. Only problem I have with ballerina flats is that they make my legs look fat and stumpy. Sigh. WHY ME?
That said, I did just buy (ok last week, before the shopping ban!) black sequin French Sole flats…I heard they are really well made, like Repettos, so I am excited to get them!
PS will have to try that MAC primer…I use the oil free Smashbox primer but I don’t think it does anything for my skin - am just as oily as ever!!
So adorable! They look great on you! i use Kiehl’s too. Their body lotion is creamy but not greasy. You have a beautiful day too!
Very cheerful and pretty! They will be so perfect for this summer. I’m a huge fan of ballet flats - I alternate them with heels so my little feet get some rest. I’m quite petite so I tend to wear them bottoms that elongate my legs, like tights or skinny jeans - But love them best with cuffed short shorts
i love balerinas - they are not only comfortable but very feminine!
I love the ballerina flats! I’m a bit afraid of color myself, but those are so fun!
Love the shoes!
i can’t get enough of ballerinas…these look fabulous on you-I adore the colors!
I like how flats feel but I hate how they look. Being short, they do nothing to enlongate my legs and just make me look stumpier than I already am. But I still wear them because I walk funny with heels on. Sigh. Just can’t win.
Edgar Degas is one of my fav Impressionists.
I saw a few years ago a few of his paintings in the Museé d´Orsay and was also impressed to see his sculptures.
Once you get a hand on a pair of perfect ballerinas
you can´t live without them
Stay Beauty!
love your flats!!!!!
im totally for flats…i have a collection….i usually wear them on Fri and during the weekend…but i tend to wear them more often during the summer time
