Dancing Dreams
July 21st, 2009
As a little girl, I rarely wore anything besides my tutu and fireman’s hat (together, I might add). I still have a fascination for anything that resembles ballerina attire, which brought about my love for these Capezio studded ballet slippers. It’s such a great twist on a sweetly classic look so I threw together a few more pieces that instill that I’m-a-ballerina-off-duty vibe.
1. Studded Ballet Slippers, $48
2. Strata Dress, $199.99
3. Mesh Dot Tiered Skirt, $14.80
4. Cecile Bralette, $58
5. Cecile Boyshorts, $48
6. Seam Detail Cup Corset, $65
7. Bow Belt, $49.99
8. Faux-Leather Trim Canvas Tote, $15
9. Narrow Brim Panama Hat, £22.00
10. Mamba Flats, $98
11. Jennifer Ouellette Headband, $70
12. Benjamin Sunglasses, $325
13. Multi Chains w/ Ribbon Necklace, $8.80

Gorgeous collage, darling! Loving the blue bralette and boyshorts!

Just give me all of it. I will want to be a ballerina until the day I die; these gorgeous finds will only make me feel as if I’m fulfilling it!
I love those shoes x
I would SO love to see a photo of you as the firefighting ballerina! Awesome!
I’m in love with that Strata dress! I wish it wasn’t $200 though. You would look so adorable in it!
So sweet and frilly — love the dress!
that dress is insanely fun. love. it.
Oh, I love that necklace. I can’t believe it’s from Forever 21.
You need to find yourself a good old cruiser bike to ride around. You would love it.
Enamored with that dress!
really love the studded ballet slippers. and i always love how your blog is a perfect, interesting mix of topics.
aww I was a ballerina, etc. for 8 years and I miss it so. I just bought a lovely skirt like that! Love that style.
Love this post, I was obsessed with ballet when I was a kid.
I also made that necklace by buying a cheap set from forever 21 and tying a black ribbon on it.
I have had a dancing/ballerina inspired post in my head for awhile now but I have to say I’m so glad you did it because you did it better than I. Excuse the benadryl if my sentences get a lil wacky
I just wanted to tell you that I adore your blog and as a fellow LA girl, you seem so real-which is hard to find here. So thank you.
beautiful collage! i like the softer colors.
i’m wearing a very similar necklace to #13 (multi-chain w/ ribbon) today!!! love it…though mine wasn’t nearly $8!!!

wow, i love everything in this collage. i think my favorite is a dress. i just started taking ballet lessons again, the first time since i was 5, and i really do love putting on my leotard and ballet slippers. there is something so magical about ballet.
The flats are SO pretty AND they look comfy too!
ok that is hilarious you wore ballet shoes and a fireman’s hat when you were little!
i love the necklace and bag!
I love the studded ballet flats and skirt! Growing up I had a fascination with ballet and dancing too. I still do actually.
I’d wear and absolutely love everything you chose!
very Degas inspired! love the prima ballerina look.
This was a dangerous post. I saw it and immediately went and bought the Forever 21 skirt. At least I went for one of the cheapest items you posted!
i absolutely adore #1 and #2! i have some pink ballerina flats from bcbg but those studded ones are too cute!
OMG Im in love with the studded ballerina flats

I really like the combination of #3 and #10 together.
I probably have two or three skirts that are very similar to #3. They are really cute!
Thank you for the cute blog.
like GypsySoul, the tiered skirt is so reminiscent of Carrie’s signature tutu! love love this. linking you to my blog now. xo
that dress is absolutely adorable!! would love that with a nice motorcycle jacket
so cute
Love the nude palette – very beautiful. And just today my daughter was wearing a tutu and a builders hat – stunning combination on a four year old! Loving your blog BTW… it’s going on my soon to be written Eye Candy post xo xo
have the same ballerina attire fascination — love this collection you’ve assembled, especially the lovely watery blue lace underthings
xo
I bought the dress because of your post. Too bad you can’t get a commission. I really hope it fits and the color works on my fair skin.
Thanks for the post.
So lovely!
payless shoe store always has little kid ballet shoes and luckily my feet are small enough that I can wear a 12 or 14 shoe in girl’s sizes, and for 15 bucks you kinda can’t walk away from them :] I love owning “authentic” ballet slippers because they’re so whimsical and make me feel super girly! the studded ones I would loooove though
