Elegance for Girls: Your Dance Identifies who you are

Antoinette Armoire 

What's more feminine than an Antoinette style ballerina inspired armoire for a little girl? My mother found this "pretty" for me and it is just a perfect adorning station for "C". I just love the vintage knobs and added some gold gilding to the edges brushed with French Linen.

 

This piece is a keeper and my little darling is just so excited that I made a piece custom for her! 

“Your dance identifies who you are.”

I have to give credit to Rachel Ashwell for inspiring me to lust worn ballet shoes. In the down stairs of her new Soho store, I immediately spotted a random basket of worn ballet shoes worn by her daughters...they were beautiful... distressed delicate pink and ivory satin, tangled wrinkly silk ties, and worn during hours of discipline. This is an ironic display of the delicate art of ballet and hours of physical dedication. It's a combination of imperfection and perfection, so close to her deep rooted style.

During an adventure, I stumbled upon two pairs of fabulously worn shoes. Right away I knew they belonged in my daughter's room hanging from this armoire. Like my daughter, an "outside of the box" kind of gal, these shoes have a lot of "soul".
