Wonderful Experiences: The Royal Ballet

Happy New Year Everyone! I know I havent done a blog post since before Christmas but as I thought I wouldnt have very much to blog about I thought I would start 2013 with a ultimate experience for you! This has nothing to do with bungee jumping, jumping out of an aeroplane  climbing a mountain or doing a marathon. This is just a really lovely day out that I thought I would share with you guys. I tried to capture it all with photos so here we go, lets get started! 

The Royal Ballet- The Nutcracker

Outfit I wore:

Coat ~ Zara

Blouse/Shirt ~ Topshop

Skirt ~ Topshop 

Shoes ~ Topshop 

Bag ~ Local Boutique (probably find a similar thing on eBay)

Gloves ~ Christmas Present

I might as well tell you the story of how going to the Royal Ballet came about, my parents surprised my sister and I just before the christmas festivities started happening by telling us that we would be going to the Royal Ballet in London! I love dance and I remember when I was about 5 or 6 I first went to the Royal Ballet with my mum and I can even remember some parts to this day! So, at ten in the morning we got on the train ready to relive those memories! 

Whilst waiting to go in to the Royal Ballet we sailed round Covent Garden and I have to say it was very beautiful! The decorations still hadn't come down so it was packed with twinkling lights and colourful baubles. Sometimes I wish Christmas would last all year!  

After being allowed into the exquisite auditorium I have to say it was one of the most elegant places I have ever seen, I just couldn't help snapping some of the decor that lined the chairs and the balconies! I loved the gorgeous red and the bright yellows! The curtains were long and draped and had the queens emblem on it that really made the experience more British.

As cameras were forbidden whilst the story was beginning to unfold, I couldn't really take any pictures so I am sorry about that! However when the interval came, it was still so special as it meant getting some ice cream. Now, I dont usually love ice cream in winter but if you ever go to the Royal Ballet you have to get their Belgium Chocolate Ice Cream! Even though I think the price is too high for a small pot  of ice cream, I would still call it a pot of creamy goodness. I say stuff New Years Resolutions and start on the ice cream!

Once Act 2 started up again it was back to beautiful ballet! I got so lost in it and the music was incredible, if you ever get a chance to go I know the prices are quite steep, but you wont regret it and it brings so much back if you give it a bit of your time! I dont know if I was allowed to do this but I took a couple of photos of the finale which I would love to share with you! 

Once the performance was over we wandered around the theatre and came across these beautiful miniature dresses! They looked exactly like the dresses of the cast and even had the same details. I took some pictures and tell me which one you like the best?!  

Overall such a fantastic day and to top it all off we go Upper Crust tea and beautifully chocolate flavoured Wispas (the diet starts tomorrow)! 

Heaven in a day! I would love to know your experiences at the Royal Ballet so if you would like to contact me please comment below. Glorious day with wonderful people!

Holiday: Christmas Time

Lights have gone up, Stockings are set over the fireplace and trees are on top of cars ready to set off to its own house to be the centre piece of someones home. This means only one holiday can be approaching........

In our household we celebrate the holiday CHRISTMAS and this means that turkeys are bought, decorations are put up, advent calenders are opened and christmas puddings are prepared in advance for the big day! Many people would say that their Birthday is the most special time of the year however for me Christmas is the best as instead of celebrating your birthday for yourself when it is just a normal day for everyone else around you! This can be great sometimes as you get lovely calls, thoughtful presents and if you are lucky a yummy cake, however when everyone is celebrating together this can make it more special! I think being with people you care about and you know they always will love you makes the moments seem gorgeous. 

This year I have decided to go all out and start Christmas in fashion. When I was younger I didn't recieve chocolate advent calenders which in the long run seemed to be the right idea as who wants little children acting hyper after they have eaten a slither of chocolate. I have had card advent calendars of course since I was very small and although I still love them, I have moved on and have been buying chocolate advent calendars now for around three years. I normally go for cadburys or mars bar as this seems the cheapest or the easiest to get in the shops. However I have now decided to cross the ocean of cheap advent calendars and step into the world of high end goodness. That is why I have decided to go for the one and only LINDT calendar. This is my favourite chocolate so I have enjoyed delving into a good treat! 

I will be shortly posting about decoration ideas, my decorations and christmas wish list so look out for those! I hope you enjoy my blog posts! Be sure to follow and comment!
