Hello and happy Sunday!
Lately I've been spending time on Polyvore messing around and creating different types of sets. Here's my try at room design. I imagine this room being a city apartment occupied by a young girl. She's a musician and designer. She's artsy. Unique. She likes city living. When creating her living room, she didn't hold back, she just went for it. No rules, no color schemes. She let her imagination run wild. Her name's Missy (that name just seems to fit).

happy weekend!

Cheers to the weekend. I've got a ton of things to accomplish, but I know can do it!

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend?


Perhaps you'll be lounging around in the city wearing pointe shoes and looking rather dazed . . .

Or maybe you'll be at the studio practicing your extension.

Maybe Most likely you'll be doing something else (but if you're doing one of the above activities that's totally awesome) but alas, no matter what your plans are, I hope you enjoy yourself.

Jane By Design

I caught up on the first episode of Jane By Design today. I absolutely loved it. It's even earned a spot on my favorite TV shows list. I adore Jane's style. The poofy dresses, the outfits that are whimsical yet chic and sophisticated-- it's just so refreshing and . . . cute.

Jane By Design is a new TV show on ABC Family that follows a teen fashonista (as well as outcast), Jane Quimby and  her life after landing a job for a famous fashion company. As if high school wasn't hard enough; now she's left with the obstacle of fitting a prestigious job into her schedule. [ More info. can be found on ABC Family's website ]

I really enjoyed the first episode and am excitedly awaiting the second one.

Have you watched Jane By Design? Thoughts? 

P.s. You guessed it! This is the second edition of my RSP series.

A very suitable title, hm?

Summer Intensives




Like I mentioned in my post about my resolutions, I said I would take advantage of opportunities and try to audition for a few. Well, my search has started already. Earlier today I heard a girl mentioning filling out her form for an audition. I can't believe how early you have to get ready!

Are you auditioning/filling out applications for any summer camps or summer intensives (even non-dance ones)? Have any tips?

P.s. I had my first dance class since break today. It feels good to be back! :)

a dancer's inspiring day


Today involved a lot of dance-spiration. First, I finished reading Last Dance a novel all about a ballerina living and succeeding though having diabetes. Later on I watched Center Stage: Turn it Up which featured a dancer with no resume or prior dance training (besides watching dance videos) making it big.

Center Stage: Turn it Up also brought up the point that you can have an excellent resume, but if you don't dance with soul then there's nothing.

What a day! These two stories are helping motivate me towards my goal to become a better dancer. Dance the world away. :)

ruined pointe shoes



I had a dream that I was outside in my ballet uniform and  my pointe shoes. And it was raining.
Pouring.
I couldn't walk on the side walk, I'd just slip. So I had to walk in the muddy grass.
I finally  made it indoors and I just wiped my pointe shoes on the welcome mat and continued with my day.
Strange.

Have you had any weird dreams lately?
