Hello Lovelies,
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.
As for today's outfit that I wore to dinner with Andrew...
I wish you all a beautiful day!!!!

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...
How do you feel about ballerinas ( by that I mean shoes, lol)??? Love/Hate them?
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.
Kiehl's Sodium PCA "Oil-Free"Moisturizer.
♥Perfect for the summer time.
♥Not as oily as the Ultra Facial Moisturizer, but still very moisturizing.
♥Worth a try if your skin is more oily in the summer.
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...

Hello Darlings,
Today has been really exciting, as I received a surprise e-mail from author Karen Essex of my favorite book, Leonardo's Swans... (I jumped around my room *blush blush*) how often do you receive "thanks for reading my book" from an author? Not only is she an award-winning journalist, a screen writer, and author of two acclaimed biographical novels, Kleopatra and Pharaoh, but Karen is also a fashion lover, who "never felt the need to look like a frumpy writer" and who views fashion "as theater, and another art form to enjoy."
I've been fascinated with the story of Leonardo's Swans and have spent my free time researching about Isabella and Beatrice d'Este. I am extremely excited to start reading Stealing Athena which also focuses on art and architecture ..... Check this out:
Thank you Karen Essex for dedicating your time to write such a wonderful book that demonstrates and exposes the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci - and for my quick hello... As for today's outfit, I am wearing my new shirt from Totem.
,I've never owned any article of clothing in such bright colors before.
Once I saw it ... I had to have it, I love the colors :)
I AM WEARING:
Totem Shirt
J Brand Skinnies
Talula High Waisted Short
Soia & Kyo Charlie Coat in White
Gap Leather Purse
Michael Kors Leather Ankle Boots
Swarovski Love Charm Bracelet
Another current obsession: jazz lace-up shoes which according to Vogue is the new ballet flat - Kate Moss, Mirabelle Marden, and Natalia Vodianova are just a few trend setters wearing them.
You can purchase these babies from Net-a-porter for as "little as" $490.
HAVE AN AWESOME DAY :)
