swan lake.

this weekend was pretty eventful. i didn't do very much (haha fooled you!) but i did get my christmas present from my bf! you must be wondering, why pema did he wait so long to give you your christmas present? christmas was in december and it is now march 2010. well, that's because his present to me was two tickets to see the national ballet of canada perform swan lake :) ah, it was just so beautiful. i keep thinking back to friday night now, and all i can do is smile and sigh really, really loudly. we had pretty much the best seats in the entire place, too which wasn't too shabby ;)

we were lucky enough to be able to see the show performed by principal dancer xiao nan yu. she's the dancer in all of the posters for swan lake that have been posted up around downtown toronto. so beautiful, elegant, swan-lake. when she came onto the stage, my eyes just immediately fell upon her and no one else. nothing else that was happening on the stage mattered. she was just so captivating. and the way she moved her arms. it was exactly like a swan. she was flawless.

anyways, the reason why i'm telling you this is to share my dress that i bought for the show. the national ballet is a very posh and stylish place so i knew i had to look good. luckily, i ended up looking good and for cheap as well! i went to h&m and got this little number for under $40, which is pretty much amazing!





i felt pretty good walking around the place with that dress on. i think i can wear it any day as well, which is always handy.
