Archie

My make up bag bursts at the seams.....

Ever since we were avidly encouraged at ballet school to wear a little makeup, I grew to love (like many people) how it can enhance your 'look'!

Many years down the line, I'm still an avid fan of the colourful stuff and even more so (to every sellers delight!) the packaging! 

Which brings me to the point of my post!......

MAC have incredible collaborations and although it isn't breaking news, I am eagerly awaiting the Spring 2013 dedicated to Archie comics and their iconic girls, Betty and Veronica!

Suffice to say my wallet will soon be weeping!

Being a swan...

Swan Lake is arguably one of the most beautiful ballets to watch...... to dance I find it one of the most taxing.  The famous first entrance for the swans is grand and impressive, but in your pink tights and white tutu you feel vulnerable and only hope that you are creating a 'good' first impression to those who are sat in the audience.  Throughout my career, so far, I have danced four different versions (I can't even hazard a guess to how many performances that would amount to!!!!).  But it is my first which was with English National Ballet that will always be my favourite.

Yesterday we performed our last Swan Lake of the year (it will return in the Spring).  The break will do us all good!!!!

I certainly need a lie down when it's all over!!!

Back To It...

We now back into full swing of training, rehearsals and performances. After a long eight week summer holiday (I think the longest holiday I've ever taken!) it hasn't being as hard as I imagined to get back into the rhythm of our daily routine!  As I said before in my last post, I'm enjoying my new season 'gym attack' and it's also such a good feeling to be back on stage!

The most bizarre moment of my week was at our 'Theatre Day' last Sunday in which we were set the task of seeing how many ballerinas fit into a Toyota Yaris!!!

We managed 22!!!

Flying the Flag!

I feel very patriotic with my Team GB Olympic jacket! Flying the British flag and then matched with my Victoria's Secret pink and black striped sports top and pointe shoes on my feet, it's quite a combination..... sums me up quite well, mix and matched but well thought through!!!

Love Charlie

A New Season...

Our summer holiday is over and it's back to work!  

Luckily after our 8 week break, we have an 'gentle' start to the season with our first week comprising of an hour and a quarter class each morning!  

That is soon to change, with the premiere of our new ballet 'Cinderella', and performances of 'Rosalinde', 'Swan Lake', 'Modigliani', 'Coppelia' and 'Manon' all on the horizon, it's certainly set to be a very busy few months.

Shopping!

Oh how I miss the UK high street!!  The choice we have in such shops as Topshop and River Island, open up an endless wardrobe of bang on trend, purse happy outfits. My whole outlook on my 'fashion sense' is to be able to mix and match high street and the odd splurge of a designer piece.

After all I have a ballerina's pay packet and not a footballers......

Home plus Friends...

A good night out was had by all, as we ate, 'sipped' beverages (wink) and danced into the night.

Home + Friends = HAPPY!!!

Months are hours...

Of course being at home means I have time to catch up with friends.  Good friends are keepers and although we spend months and months apart in different countries, when we finally meet up it feels like those months were merely hours!

Totally in love with these bright New Look heels
Find them here

Happy times :)
