Wardrobe Diaries: Birthday Ballerina

They say you're only ever as old as you feel. This weekend I turned another year older, and while I don't particularly feel my age, the rest of me begs to differ. Tiny fine lines are starting to show, little aches and pains where there once was none and I'm pretty sure I've even began shrinking.

So to celebrate, I did what any fun-loving girl faced with the realisation that her youth will soon be over, would do. I threw on the girliest pink dress I could find and twirled and twirled till my feet ached and heart raced. It was just what I needed to remind myself that age is but a number. Besides it's never too late to live out your prima ballerina dreams.

Here's to growing old gracefully!

Wardrobe Diaries: Petals and Peplum

I love umbrella skirts so when I saw this lovely number at Asos I knew I had to have it. The skirt has a layer of tulle underneath so you know it won't loose it's puffiness. As soon as I teamed it with this mint peplum knit I felt like Odette from Swan Lake. There's something about full skirts and high heels that makes me want to twirl and twirl. These photos were taken at my favourite time of the day, where the streets are bathed in a golden glow and the fading light creates a soft dreamscape of the day. And while the rest of the city was busying themselves with dinner plans, I went out and danced in the twilight.
