So, last weekend I have been judging the Sarasota Challenge, a Ballroom Dance Competition in Sarasota – Florida. Like usual, I took the red eye flight on Friday evening to the east coast, my tips to how survive those you can read in this previous post. I got it down to a science by now.

I wore one of my favorite outfits that I featured in a previous post as well. I got asked quite a few questions about it so you can you can check it out again here. I just love the soft and feminine look.

Since the weekend was busy with traveling and the competition, I only have some I phone pictures for you, not my regular blog photography (usually taken by my husband). I had a great time at the event, competitions are always super fun and I was glad to be invited as one of the adjudicators.

Have you ever been at a dance competition?

No? Yes? Tell me about it!

Happy Friday,

the weather is finally gorgeous  and I was in the mood for Ruffles and Flowers today. Being back from my Florida trip I definitely got inspired by the Palm Beaches, one of my favorite places on earth, I lived there for nearly 10 years and I still feel this place is like home, besides Austria, Europe, where I was born and LA, where I live.

I found the perfect Ruffle Top  at the Blush Boutique in Encino – they are located right next to our dance studio and carry adorable women’s clothes from casual to cute. I combined my new find with my new skirt I got on my recent trip to Las Vegas last month and voila – Ruffles and Flowers it is…

Have a great weekend  xoxo BB

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today we spend the day at the studio, we have a cute Valentine’s class tonight and we are trying to make it a special experience for everybody attending. We have some brand new people coming in and we hope we can give them a great time and show them a variety of romantic dances like the Rumba or the Waltz.

Making others happy can be very rewarding as well and therefore I am looking very much forward to it – but I have to hurry up because I need to get to the store in time to get some more Prosecco and Chocolate!

I already got my Valentine’s present from my husband a couple of days ago, he surprised me with a book called “Catwalk” where all Chanel Collections are photographed from all shows between 1983 until today. I absolute love it, it is so very inspiring and gives me ideas.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and evening, Lots and lots and lots of LOVE to all of you from me, enjoy yourself today!
