Super-awesome Christmas giveaway!

I love the ballet (although I have none of the grace of a dancer) so I was delighted to be invited to a performance by the Scottish Ballet back in October to celebrate their 40th anniversary. I even got to sit next to Christopher Kane! (this filled me with wild excitement whilst the boyfriend snoozed gently!)
So I thought what better to give away this Christmas (the perfect time to go to the ballet, especially if the Nutcracker is being performed) than tickets to the ballet. And the Scottish Ballet have kindly obliged me!

So the prize is this: a pair of tickets for a Scottish ballet performance of the winners choice! You can see the performance of your choice on the date of your choice. Most of the performances show in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness, Aberdeen and Belfast however if you want to see the

Nutcracker you can see that in Newcastle as well. Check out the schedule for the next 12 months here, and see if there's anything you fancy!

If that's not enough, the winner will also receive some Aussie hair products and L'oreal make up, so they can look especially gorgeous for their night out!

How do you enter? That's easy! Become a follower of the blog and leave a comment! As usual, winners will be drawn from a hat. The competition closes on 30th December, so it will be a perfect New Year suprise for somebody!

Good luck!

Love, Tor xx

Chanel goes to the ballet

Karl Lagerfeld (Oh, Karl!) has designed special ballet costumes to mark the centenary of the legendary dance group Ballets Russes. English National Ballet's stars Agnes Oaks and Thomas Edur will wear the exclusive creations for the performance at Sadler's Wells theatre in London.
.
BBC cameras were at Chanel in Paris for the final fitting, where Karl Lagerfeld explained his design, and you can watch the rather interesting video above.
.
I especially love that he doesn't seem that interested in the ballet and also his insistence that he wouldn't be doing this if the dancers were "only mediocre". It's everything you expect him to say!
.
I enjoy the mix of fashion and ballet; both are full of drama and you could argue that a decent fashion show is like a ballet; you need the right movements, the right music, and to use both of these to connect to your audience. It seems the folks at Chanel agree, as this isn't their first ballet based experience of the past month; prima ballerina Elena Glurdjize performed for Karl Lagerfeld in the Chanel Couture Salon last month. Here you can enjoy her breathtakingly wonderful (and beautiful!) performance.

Enjoy!
