I recently met with the ballet instructor over at
Boston Dance Collective, here in Victoria, who has given me the opportunity to design 6 costumes for one of her ballet groups. These will be done for their recital in Mid-May. I am really excited at the chance to design for these girls! I’ve already got a few ideas, but I will check out the dance and meet with the girls on Friday. I wish my work station was set-up so I could start, but alas, everything is still in boxes until we move in on Friday. Busy day!

How to Look Sexy on Valentine’s Day | eHow.com
It’s that special time of year! Here’s some great tips on how to have a special and romantic evening…
Ryan, my fiance, and I have made to the island! All of our possessions arrived safely despite the terrible weather. It’s raining again as we speak, however, we plan to have a lovely valentine’s day. Can’t wait for dinner at Brentwood Bay Lodge, I’ve got a cute new dress to wear… If only I can find which box has my shoes in it… I’ll find them, nothing’s ruining my V-Day!

If you haven’t heard of or seen Spartacus on Starz, I would highly recommend you do. It’s created by Steven S. DeKnight who is mostly known for Angel, Smallville, and Dollhouse. I could talk about the gripping storyline and bloody action all day but this is a blog about fashion, and what I really loved about this show is the costumes and I couldn’t resist giving a shout-out to costume designer Barbara Darragh for her amazing work on the series. Everything from the gladiator armor and simple (yet beautiful) slave garments to the ornate ones worn by the wealthy. Although the story may not be the most historically accurate, the costumes certainly made it feel that way.
For now I can’t wait for season 2 with Liam McIntyre as Spartacus. He’s got some pretty big shoes to fill.

I will be living on Vancouver Island. My fiance and I have decided to pack things up and move away from the city (for the time being). It will be a much-needed fresh start. I love Vancouver, the fashion, the film industry, the people, the landscape… I have had an amazing time here and I hope to one day come back. What does this mean for Elise Tonn Designs? I think it will be a great opportunity to expand my practices to the Island as well as the mainland with the help of SWFDS the fashion design studio here in Vancouver. I don’t mind the commute!
On another note… I am really excited to start sharing my wedding plans (most importantly the dress)! It is still early, May 26th 2012 seems like a ways away but I have a feeling it will be here before I know it.
Best,
B

Thought I’d get a head start on the New Year and upload my new website. Worked pretty hard on it so I hope everyone likes it. There is going to be some significant changes coming up for Elise Tonn Designs in 2011. I’ll give you more details on a later date.
