Off to the Circus (School)

Big news everyone! I’ve decided to join the circus — circus school that is. Did you guys know that such a thing exists? Thank goodness for Groupon, because I don’t think I could live with myself if this exercise craze came and went without me. For those like me (still catching up and totally intrigued), here’s the gist: Founded by a Cirque du Soleil veteran, Cirque School offers classes in acrobatic skills like trapeze, fabric and rope tricks that also combine Pilates techniques for a totally awesome workout. No special skills required!

Considering how cool this is, the prices are pretty reasonable — about $25 a class. I can’t wait to sign up for my first aerial class. (Don’t worry mom and dad; I’m not actually planning to join the circus when this is all said and done. However the jury’s still out on whether I’m moving to Costa Rica to work at a sloth sanctuary.) Who’s with me?

Is it Summer Yet?

I’m absolutely loving these adorable two-piece playsuits designed by the owner of my all-time favorite vintage clothing shop. They’re the kind of outfits that can’t exist in my mind without an accompanying destination and mood. These ones make me think “south of France,” “carefree.”

My only concern is whether I have the guts to go out and about in what is essentially a bra and skirt :) What do you guys think? New summer trend or too … erm … gutsy?
