Rampage Brocade and Tulle Ballerina Dress: Love It or Hate It?
I know I said ballet-inspired looks are happening but this is ballerina overkill! This Rampage Brocade and Tulle Ballerina Dress, on sale for $71.99 (originally $129), is too froofy and too pink if you ask me. Though it may make a killer Halloween costume one day...what do you think?
Look of the Day: Dancer Style
When I was young, I used to pretend I was a ballerina and dressed up in tutus everywhere I went. I know, it sounds a little silly, but I'm sure raccoon_hime feels me. Her dancer style is so ethereal and cute.
Battle of the Rodarte: Watson vs. Bosworth
The Rodarte sisters, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, cohosted a special dinner last night with Kate Bosworth at the Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor restaurant in London. Of her peach silk and net Rodarte dress, Kate Bosworth said: "It's kind of deconstructed ballerina." If Kate was a deconstructed ballerina, then actress Emma Watson was a rebel dancer in her bold black, blue, and white Rodarte frock.
Fab Celebrates Spring With Saks: Win a Ballerina Floral Theory Frock!
Not to be mistaken by cutesie floral Liberty prints, ballerina prints are whisper light and faintly feminine. Really, there's no sweeter floral. The primo example is this Theory Floral Dress ($295) with a tie back and puckered bodice.
Backstage Pass: Ballerina Beauty at John Rocha
Lace-inspired knits, barely-there chiffon and light-as-air folds, ruffles and pleats gave the John Rocha show an unassuming air of femininity, contrasted with strong shapes and a palette that was anchored in black. The models looked like other-worldly ballerinas with uniform top knots and buns secured with multiple, visible kirby grips. Samantha Hillerby created a hair look that appeared slightly unfinished, as though the girls were still backstage.

The Gifted Child: Three-Year-Olds
Three-year-olds tend to be a bit fickle as they express their independence. One moment they are telling you they can do it all by themselves, then the next they insist on holding your hand. When shopping for a gift for a preschooler, look for items that showcase their new found abilities.

London Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Steve J and Yoni P
Steve J and Yoni P are relatively new names to the fashion spectrum but already have a Topshop collaboration under their belts and have now shown their fourth collection to London Fashion Week. Both designers were born in Korea (their show today took place at the Korean center) but trained in London at Central Saint Martins and London College of Fashion.
Today the show used models and ballerinas to present their collection.
Backstage Beauty: Marchesa
Ever since seeing Dita Von Teese in a feathered Marchesa dress, I've been amazed by the intricate beauty of the designers' creations. There's an elegant extravagance to their creations, balancing luxury and refinement. At last week's show, the hair and makeup teams created a simple and flawless look for the models, and because it's something that anybody can wear, I thought I'd share a few tips.
