I miss this...

Ballet used to be my entire life.
The other night I was reading through all my journals from
middle school and high school, and all I ever spoke about was
ballet rehearsal, class, or shows.
I feel so far away from that now. As I look at my resume this morning,
I realize what a different dancer I have become.
I cherish the background I have been blessed with,
but also miss it so much everyday.
The simple classic lines of this arabesque really
exemplify why I love this art form.
I am still on a journey to figure out what kind of
DANCER
I am.

Not anytime soon

I love this gown. It is my dream dress.
Even has POCKETS!

I love the back of this dress and the adorable cap sleeves.


Aren't these dresses lovely? Not that I am getting married, but If
I ever do...
I think these dresses may just be perfect.
Simple lines, white, feminine...just beautiful.

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;
and for poise,
walk with the knowledge that you
are never alone.”

Gaga

One of my New Year's resolutions was to dance more
outside of the dance department.
Expand my horizons.
So...
Off to atlanta I go to enjoy a gaga class.
An amazing technique originating from Israel.
Obsessed with Ohad Naharin.

watch if interested in the technique.

Grown Up Room

I love the feminine art and masculine color blocking
to create a perfect balance.

This mixture of vintage and modern creates
such a lovely working space. I love the light blue color
and use of photography.
I'm obsessed with this desk!

Books as art? I love it.
Blue and orange? Love it.
I could cozy up in this corner for hours.


Light and Airy with a pop of color.
Shades of orange and blue; my favorite combo.
As I plan on moving to NY in the Fall,
I know I will be living in a tiny shoe box.
So, creating a space of my own will with
color, detail, and of course lots of trinkets
will help the change of scenery
a lot
easier.

I love vintage photography.
ESP black and white.
Jackie O is a style icon.
These family photos of the Kennedy's taken before
JFK's presidency
are absolutely
breathtaking.
The simplicity of the photos creates an atmosphere
that seems unhurried or chaotic...

Christmas Eve

My Favorite Part about Christmas
other than my wonderful family and friends...and kitty
is the tree.
Every year we get a fresh cut tree from Highlands, NC
and decorate with ornaments from our childhood.

This year mom put over 1600 lights
on the tree
...never enough.

I also have my own
ballerina tree

which I may leave up year round...

Merry Christmas Everyone!
love tara
