Dance Movie Marathon!

Bonjour mes amis! Comment allez-vous? 

I know documentaries can sound boring and quite a few are but I've found a few new dance documentaries that I loved! You can find them on Netflix or rent them:

1. First Position- I loved this documentary because it is so true! It follows six dancers who are training for the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious ballet competitions in the world! You don't even have to be a dancer to love this documentary. 5 gold stars

2. Ballerina- A documentary that follows training sessions, rehearsals, and everyday lives of five Russian ballerinas as they try to survive in the dance world. I loved it because it shows you a ballet school that's in a different country and what it's like there! 

4.5 gold stars 

3. Dance Academy- An Australian TV show following six dancers who soon realize that dancing at Sydney's National Dance Academy isn't all that's going to challenge them. I love this TV show so much because it's not predictable! 4.5 gold stars 

When I find more good finds I'll put them on!

Au revoir!

XOXO, MIA ROSE   

Inspiration!

Bonjour! Hope you all are doing well!

I thought today I'd do a post on Style Icons: people that inspire you to do great things and make you believe you can achieve anything!
A few of my favorite style icons are:

Marilyn Monroe

Audrey Hepburn

Coco Chanel

Those style icons are supposed to make you feel inspired by what the did. For instance, Audrey Hepburn was not only a actress and style icon, she was also a humanitarian. She did things for the better of people.
Another example is Coco Chanel. She was a French fashion designer (which I hope you knew!) and founded the Chanel brand (go figures). She might inspire you because she was also the only fashion designer to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of The Century.
One last example is Marilyn Monroe who was not only just a actress but also a model, singer, and of course a style icon. She spent much of her childhood in foster homes but soon began her modeling career whcih then lead her to a film contract with Twentieth Century Fox. 
Hope that gave you some inspiration!


XOXO, MIA ROSE 

Craziness in the United States!

You know what I love about fashion? Know matter what is going on in the world, fashion keeps going. I feel for everyone experiencing Sandy the Superstorm. And what amazes me is that even though there is a massive storm (or hurricane, what is it exactly?) in New York/New Jersey, fashion is still evolving using technology and verbal speech (a fancy phrase for talking). Some designers might even get inspiration for a design because of what they're experiencing. 

Another big thing going on in the United States is that today is election day! Of course you could early vote but where I live there aren't huge lines so my parents are voting today. My drawing today was inspired by a few things:

Combining all of these pictures this is what I created:

I was inspired by the canyon things for the rippled gold pattern at the end of the dress. The colors were inspired by the gold rippled picture (the 3rd one) and the shimmering gold inspired the colors of the dress. The second picture inspired the top peachy pink color and the black/brown belt. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Election Day!


XOXO, MIA ROSE

Bonjour mes amis! I know I've been a bad ami but I've been über busy so I'll just say it: Je suis désolé :( There, I feel a bit better. 

How have you all been? I hope your Halloween was grand! I know mine was! Want to know what I was? A dead Alice in Wonderland :) I had an old Alice costume from a few years ago so I just ripped it up and put fake blood on it! It rocked! And I got lots of candy!

I know I didn't do a special design or anything for Halloween and I feel bad, but my life's been very hectic! My normal schedule looks like this:
