300 Days To Go

School started this past Monday; this year was more exciting than most mainly because it's the last first day of high school for both Jae and myself! This year we are seniors meaning that we not only have to achieve the best grades possible (HA), but also fulfill the traditions of grade 12.

Through out high school I have always been a back pack kind of girl, but this year I decided I would use a messenger bag. Needless to say I miss my back pack and will most likely be switching back very soon! The part I missed the most (beside the comfort factor) was the feeling of security that a back pack provided much like a turtle and it's shell.
Here are some backpacks I found!

LeSportSac Backpack
Henry Cuir Sherpa Backpack
Alexander Wang
Jas MB Canvas and Leather Rucksack
Marc by Marc Jacobs Army Handhack
Alexander Wang Sydney Backpack
1a Prima Classe - Two Pocket Backpack
BDG Nylon Backpack


I am in love with this back pack for multiple reasons; primarily for it's structure and design.

Sunny Sundays

After a busy week and weekend we decided to relax by eating ice cream and going to the park! It is finally beginning to feel like summer here, especially since there is only a couple weeks of school left. The park that we found is, coincidentally, just outside of our dance studio. It's super tranquil and perfect for when you're looking for a place to unwind! Posting during the next few weeks is going to be cut down as we both have finals to study for...

May Showers

The last couple of days have been rain rain and rain. So yesterday when there was finally sun, we decided to take advantage of the semi-decent weather! We spent the afternoon lounging and in the sun, eating some Reeces Pieces and snapping some pics in the pre summer garden.

Bloch

Bloch in the dance world is one of the most well known brands, creating shoes and clothing for all styles and forms of dance. Even my very first pair of ballet slippers were made by Bloch and for years I wore their point shoes. Not only do they make dance wear but over the past few years they have created a line of street shoes. Mainly flats to be more precise; they do retail for a bit steep but the comfort of these shoes makes up for it! The shoes themselves are extremely flexible with the majority of them being made of soft, smooth leather. When I stumbled across the shoes about a year or two ago I was really impressed with the design; they were not your average flat thats for sure! This past line has incorporated more styles, a few short wedges, sandals and what most excited me were their oxfords!

These were my favorites!










The little ballerina prints are from the girls line

Dance Love

Yes, we are dancers!

We love love love love it, even all the frustrating moments.

Actually, without dance we would have never met at the ripe age of 3 at our Saturday morning ballet class! Over the last 13 years that we have been dancing, we have learned that dance is not only an activity, but it teaches you many life lessons. It lets us get away from reality. . . even if it is for only a few minutes!

Here are a few pictures from a solo practice a little while back. We both ended up doing really well in competition receiving golds as well as scholarships!

P.S.

This is not our studio, it's one we rented at the U of S and the lighting is pretty unfortunate.

Welcome to Little Giants!

We both have always had a strong sense of what we like and think when it comes to just about anything; whether it has to do with fashion, dance, design or whatever. So we thought a blog would be perfect for us! ha! Anyways we hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to give us feedback!

This is Jae.

And here's Lauren.
