| Fashion Inspiration: Ballerinas in Erika Cavallini for Vogue Italy |
For a tribute to Deborah Turbeville a few years back,
this editorial shoot for Vogue Italy featured young ballerinas
wearing Erika Cavallini Semi-Couture (AW 2014/15)
at the Circolo della Stampa de Milano.

The feminine, romantic, quiet, and graceful mood
is bound to charm and inspire you...
But first.
A wonderful new blog follower emailed me
yesterday asking about the significance of pointe
shoes to me personally since she couldn't
find a related post.
I explained to her that while I was never too
successful at ballet (I was always a better musician
than dancer), my dead pointe shoe collection
is about admiration for the feminine strength
and grace involved in this beautiful art form.
When I started Hello Lovely, you may remember
my header photo which featured a ballerina
in pointe shoes, jeans, and vintage jewelry.

| Remember my blog header!?! |
The ballerina is not me, and in fact,
my sister Jo and I shot her senior pictures
and styled her in my clothes and bling
at our French Country home which had
all that amazing natural light.
 |
| Behold! The real ballerina in the pointe shoes I shot for my blog header. |
I step into my pointe shoes just for fun
photo shoots like this one to capture
a romantic, ethereal vibe.

| Just an average Tuesday, lounging in poufs. |
On with the tribute!
