Today the sun shone and I spent the afternoon with my family :)  Nothing can beat the relaxing feeling in good company and a bright sky............ and a cheeky glass of vino!

Disney, J Crew and New Look...... what a combo!

Brit...

Although the rain relentlessly continues, it doesn't mar my proud Brit(ness) shining!

As Wimbledon ends and we whole heartedly prepare to host this years Olympics (though VERY, VERY wet!!) Great Britain is an extremely cool place to be :)

Today I ...

....  I made use of the rainy day by getting to know my IPad.....I think we are going to be firm friends!

You wouldn't have wanted to venture out of our door today as the rain fall in the last 24 hours likened to the amount that we would usually have in a month. Though when I did HAVE to go out, I wrapped myself in my holiday memories with my 'Florida Gator's' jumper and the most genius invention of the high top wedges (my other new 'friend'!)  Plus no worries for future rainy days with the tshirt graffiti pens I found in New Look :)

Life isn't so bad when it pours!!!!!

As you've probably gathered I have finally entered the world of Instagram!!

My Florida Diary .....

One of my favourite attractions!

This post doesn't really need so many words as the pictures do all the talking!

After an incredible 2 week holiday in Florida with my family we arrived home exhausted and probably needing another holiday to recuperate, but full of incredible memories, especially as we were honoured to see the whole experience through my daughter's little eyes.  

It's a surreal, magical place and even i got totally starstruck meeting Mickey Mouse in the flesh........ or should I say fur??!

Check out the dark cloud hovering over the castle...... an hour later and we were drenched!!

A dusky Magic Kingdom 

Even though I've never been an avid Potter reader, the Harry Potter setting was incredible

Universal Studios by night

NO PARKING...... Ooops!

Me is starstruck!!!

Totally happy here!

Wish you were here :)

Princessing myself!

We also learnt that my 3 year old is a bit of a David Bailey in the making!

Harry Potter time!

Close up as he goes in for my daughter's high five!

And last but not least

Happy 4th of July

Phewwwww! Rest and recuperate time now!!!

Swan Over & Out...

As I write this post our last Swan Lake of the season is currently underway.  I can not believe how fast this year has gone, what seemed like such a huge change last year, leaving Portugal to come and join a new company felt like such a gigantic step.  But now, nearly a year on, I am so happy and settled in my new theatre and have loved the experience of merging in to the next chapter of my career..... even blossoming into a new refreshed dancer....  I have certainly enjoyed the pleasure of falling in love with dance all over again and feel privileged to be in a job I adore.

Studs and Curls...

One more day left and then my poor hair will be so happy to have a break from all the hairspray, head dresses and hair pins it endures over a season!  Though saying that, I'm so into trying new styles with my tresses that while I'm going through this 'hair phase' a breather for it is highly unlikely!

On a serious note, I'm looking forward to my holiday. My body is tired and is crying out for a recuperation period!!  I'm also looking forward to focusing 'CharlieHearts' on the other passions of my life for the next 8 weeks as I rest, recover and enjoy some time off from being a ballerina!!! :)

Rainbow Brite...

It's not so often I dress myself in top and bottom black, but on this occasion I left the pink tips of my hair to do the talking.  With pastel hair gracing the pages of many fashion magazines, I'm looking forward to a summer of 'rainbowed' tresses!
