Some cool flats for spring

I've been looking for some flat or low heeled shoes that I can wear with skirts for spring. Here are some good ones that I found on Zappos.com. The bright red with one ankle strap is from Pour La Victoire: Liona for $69.00. The black strappy one is the Pete from DV by Dolce Vita. The pointy dark red one is the Lucia from Romantic Soles. The purple with the ankle strap is probably my favorite. Its the Myls by Gabriella Rocha.

I LOVE this dancer!

These pictures are of Zoe Jakes, from her MySpace page. I jsut discovered this belly dancer on You Tube and she is just fascinating. Her style is beautiful, but a bit spooky. At times she moves live a zombie or something out of a horror movie. And check out these costumes!!! Everything she wears is totally awaesome and original. She dances with several well-known groups, including Bellydance Superstars and The Indigo. I highly recommend that you check her out.

Dries Van Noten has great artsy silk clothes.

I loved his multicolored silk prints for spring, and some of these for Fall 2009 are also pretty great. I believe that this European designer actually lives and works in Singapore, and you can definitely see the Asian influence in his designs. Having been to Singapore myself, I have been in love with painted silk clothes ever since.

e K clothing has great dance clothes reasonably priced!

A few weeks ago I started taking belly dancing lessons and I am becoming quite addicted. Its also a good excuse to buy myself some cute dance clothes. The girls in my group wear latin dance pants to practice in, so I had to get some also. I discovered this great store on the internet at http://www.ekclothing.com/. They are located in Las Angelos and have cute clothing and shoes at very reasonable prices. The latin dance pants were between $30-$40, whereas other websites had similar pants for about $70. I recommend that you check out this store whether you are a dancer, or just want to look like one!

America's Best Dance Crew

This weekend I just happened to watch the season finals of America's Best Dance Crew on MTV (photos from www.mtv.com). The guys that won are called the Quest Crew and they were awesome. They beat a woman's team called the Beat Freaks in the final round. What a talented group of young people! I also love their wonderful dance costumes!

Oh my gosh! Love this exotic style!

Belly dancers really know how to get that exotic and mysterious look! I love these headpieces with matching jewelry from www.flyingskirts.com!

When I see styles like these, it makes me want to keep practicing my belly dancing so that I have an excuse to buy the clothes!

I like Missoni's unusual, eclectic style

I really like Missoni's Fall 2009 collection. In fact, It's very cold here in Ohio and I'm tired of wearing the same old thing.

I am thinking about trying out some styles similar to the ones shown here. I am a knitter from way back, so maybe I could make some big scarves and layer them on.

This style seems very eclectic and Multicultural. The tights remind me of something a ballerina would wear. In fact, if I had to guess who would wear these clothes, I would say that it should be a world famous ballerina who travels all over the globe. Even though I'm a small town college professor, i wouldn't mind projecting this image!
