I am Neutral on Valentino's Show
it was ethereal nudes and beiges with red accents, sort of like  (lord strike me down)...an elaborate tampon commercial.

College Interview!
Life is fast approaching and one of my top choices has called and set up an interview, woot! I am not sure whether this means really anything but am tres excite (in a totally non-sexual way but I forget the other adjective being the dedicated french scholar I am)!

What I am wearing:
well it is just before a ballet class so maybe I will wear my leotard underneath (classy I know) but because the school is an Ivy I probably should clean up even if the interview is in a cafe.

*my outfit will hopefully be:
my brown boots
dark blue tights (that are convertible for dance heehee)
 vintage tartan plaid dress
pink cardigan

I will do my usual obscene ballet make-up (Jesus I'm just going to sweat it off so why do I feel like I have to wear 10 pounds of mascara?) and do a polished ponytail so I can wrap it up a la cinna bun for dance class.

* will post (my first!) pictures and full review

Rehearsal is special
you can practice your pieces without the pressure of an audience and get still corrections
I love watching others rehearse;  the disparity of the leotard, tattered leg warmers, and dirty shoes juxtaposed with the grand aristocratic gestures of the dancers is always interesting.

Right now I am rehearsing Aurora's wedding variation from Sleeping Beauty for our showcase,
err wish me luck on the menage !!

Stress

This tension ever-pounding in my head,

gives cutting wings to my bounding bright fears,

a superfluity of dark reason,

Again, to keep me from my restful bed 

(me, verses 1-4 from my life)

Chanel's latest show!

It is very Chanel, very Karl Lagerfield, not particularly ground-breaking but I suppose Chanel is more associated with timeless classicism than daring new trends.

Most of the show seemed rooted in lace, tweed, and frills, very feminine and romantic. Silhouettes took inspiration from vintage decades like the 20s and 60s and ballet. Curiously the models' hair and make-up appeared very degas circa le danseur, n'est pas?

It is definitely on par with what I want from fashion (and my life!) right now-simplicity and sophistication, I'm just not sure whether I would be ready to pay a couple grand for it...

Lacy Lingerie- sweet N' low like a light sartorial confection. No whorish Victoria Secret "SUPA SEXI" for me, I'm a good girl I am.

TIGHTS and NOT the pink rosin-stained ballet kind ;), I need some classy nylons.

American Apparel, I know not very classy but IRONICALLY they are pretty tame.

(see what I did there you hipster kids you)

UK Tights, A tad tres sexy but who's a sucker for trompe d'oeil? I am

Probably the only thing on this list I can actually buy on my bitty budget, Thanks Forever 21!
