ABT's Cul Pas with Project Runway

So American Ballet Theatre's Culinary Pas de Deux just passed at Pier 60, and Project Runway's designer Christian Siriano was in attendance.  I was very excited given that I am a huge fan, and was thrilled when he won the show. He has very original ideas and beautiful designs.  The picture kind of makes me laugh though because he's posing with the same look he always has, the side tilt.  Loves it...

London Calling


Oh London.. How I love thee for shopping.  So I just arrived back from London (and definitely still feel the jet lag considering it is 5:45 and I feel like passing out) on tour with the company.  In between shows of Corsaire and Swan Lake, I managed to find a few great places to shop.  Of course, Selfridges tops my list.  They basically carry every designer I lust for but cannot really afford, or pretend to afford; Balenciaga, Lanvin, Chanel, Westwood, Tom Ford, Louboutin, etc.  It's a great place to buy investment pieces.  
Another place that I newly discovered was "the stables" in Camden. Called the stables, because vendors set up their vintage garb in the converted horse stables.  They have a fabulous array of vintage furs, frye boots, scarves, tee's etc. 

The Power of the Ray Ban




Ever since I can remember, I always wanted a pair of ray-bans.  I thought that they were soo cool.  And it turns out, they still are.  It is something that is eternally trendy, something that truly stands the test of time.  Here's my proof:  Blaine, Simone, Roman, and Marcelo all modeling my shades and looking fantastic.  Ray-bans look good on any shape face, and hair color and seem to conform to whatever style you are wearing that day.  They definitely top the charts to me as one of the better investments to have in your wardrobe.

ABT goes to Canada




This winter I had the odd pleasure of visiting Ottawa Canada on tour with my company American Ballet Theatre.  The costumes in our full length ballets are always quite ornate, but I couldn't help but notice the simple beauty in the slip of the Giselle's court costume (worn by Sarah Smith left) paired with her pale pink leotard.  Sometimes, its the                                                                          underthings that are the
                                                              true gem in the ensemble.
