The Nutcracker

Back in 2nd grade at Terrace Heights Elementary, we performed in the school production of The Nutcracker. (din was 8, dré was 7.) The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies has passed onto the next generation as Kiya, 7, and Adrienna, 4, were in their first production of The Nutcracker this year. Only they one upped us by performing with a professional ballet company at The Capitol Theatre in Yakima.

We took to our closets to pull out festive wardrobes for our evening at the ballet. din wore a long, one-shoulder fitted formal with a faux fur coat, and accessoried with gaudy jewelry and a skull knuckle clutch. dré wore a military style coat with a skater skirt and black tights. Her sky-high heels weren't enough to deter patrons from thinking dré was a part of the production-- "Are you the lead Mouse Cadet!?"

Our holiday reunion is starting off pretty fancy, don't you think?

My Dad Is Rad

How many girls are lucky enough to say they get great fashion finds handed down to them by their dad?? My hand is in the air! Check out the old motorcycle jacket my dad decided to retire to me, when he scooped himself up a new Harley Davidson one! I'd say its right on trend now! My Dad is rad. The end.

j'adore dior

The minute I saw these shoes, I knew it would be a life or death situation for Dré.

Dior RTW Fall 2012 Ballet heel has been seen on runways and magazine spreads like Mila's Dior campaign to the left.

Owning a pair would be nothing short of divine. Until then, we'll love the trend, and its substitute.
