As 6 year old, I did ballet lessons - and stopped about a year later when I went into the 'hating pink' phase. It's a bit of a shame really, because I can't help but feel I'd be a lot more elegant and a lot less clumsy than I am now if I had carried on!
These photos are inspired mainly by a Repetto advert that I saw in a magazine, showcasing a beautiful pair of white leather shoes that I instantly fell in love with. Unfortunately I couldn't afford the €160 price tag, but when I saw these slightly similar ones in H&M for £10 I was over the moon.
Repetto specialise in ballet supplies (hence the ballet theme to the photos) - but they have a beautiful collection of shoes and bags that wouldn't look out of place in any fashionista's wardrobe. I particularly love their T-bar heels and brogues - not to mention pumps in every colour imaginable.
I took these photos on self timer - it took so long to get the right look!

Those pictures are beautiful. I seriously though they were screen caps from one of those fairy-style mini-movies, at first. Zxx
Gorgeous photos! I'm in love with the lighting! And the shoes look awesome with the grey socks and your tights!
And I think every girl has a moment where she thinks: "damn I could have been a ballerina''
I used to do ballet too, I wish I'd never given up. These photos are gorgeous!

Oh I did ballet and pointe for ten years!! I recently stopped because I got too old for my studio but, I loved it so. I definitely think it helped me in my posture and general grace though. I loved all the ballet fashions too. I love this post, I always have a soft spot for this sort of thing.
This pics are magic!
I love the colours in
your blog is soo pretty !
=)
i looove this, one of my favourite posts of yours ever!
im currently saving up for the ballet-style pumps in topshop, i love the musty pink colours at the moment, and there's something so, i dont know.. cute? about them, childlike.
mmm lovely:)
x x x
I also would love to have the repetto shoes! However even if I dedided to buy them i did not know which colour to take. I thought about getting these from H&M, but did not take them because I don't like shoes made of artificial leather. They look much lovelier on your pictures that I remember them.
beautiful set Sadie, must have taken ages but it looks spectacular
Despite the amount of time this photos might have taken, it is so worth it! So dreamy! Makes me wanna build a cozy tent out of my bed sheets too, although the sleeping boy of mine probably wouldn't appreciate that.
Nice shoes! Makes me miss H&M... Have always loved everything dance-inspired like that.
I can relate- I'm dying for a pair of these shoes! Love the first photo (:
you have a true talent for photography - these photos perfectly capture the essence of dance. [i was a classical ballerina for 14 years and i hated pink too!]
xo.

These look so nice! I totally love the types of shoes, I guess I have to check out H&M soon :)
I have defenetly fallen in love with your blog.
Your looks are so beautiful.

These pictures are lovely! I like your tights too, where are they from?
:)

Those shoes look amazingly comfortable!
I love ballet style shoes, they are really cute so i'm going to find a pair myself. x

very cute! actually i have those in black! but they are so cheaply made, i've only worn them a couple times and the soles are about to have holes :( maybe someday i will save up and get the reppetto ones... a girl can dream.
I just saw your comment about my little doggie charm. I got mine for $5 on Ebay.... def a steal. Just search for vintage celluloid charm.

Those shoes are so beautiful as are your photos. What a dreamy set up.
