I came across Ashley Ording’s adorable blog, Fancy Fine, and am totally in love with her quirky vintage style! All of her posts are refreshingly original… I’m especially enamored with this outfit. She nearly has me running to Anthropologie to scoop up the look!
Have a happy Friday! =)

I’ve been trying to avoid excessive amounts of sugar for the past six months… but yesterday was my birthday and all bets were off! The DF and I both took a PTO day and started celebrating at the Doughnut Plant. Oh… my… goodness are these donuts delicious. And they have all kinds of flavors and shapes! Our favorites were the toasted almond and wild blueberry… but the pistachio was definitely a runner up!
Have you ever seen the Russian documentary, Ballerina? I ran across it while browsing Netflix and was so intrigued. It follows five aspiring prima ballerinas as they train to be part of the Kirov ballet. Definitely a must see if you love dance…
I took lessons from age four up until I went away for college and even though I haven’t danced in five years, ballet continues to stay with me. My undergraduate visual art thesis featured fragmented, charcoal and pastel renderings of ballerinas in motion. Looking back at my drawings from senior year made me want to start dancing again.
Some of the sketches above eventually became a part of my thesis. A few were rough, quick, sketches but most them were more refined. One thing’s for sure, I really miss having unlimited time to draw just for drawing’s sake…

It’s been awhile since I’ve even wanted to shop… the chilly weather and dreary skies have kept me from thinking about potential updates to my spring wardrobe. But alas… no matter how cold it was outside today, it’s the first official day of spring! This should be celebrated with a cute skirt, striped top, and fresh new sandals for the season. Happy Wednesday!
