Have been eyeing this show off for ages and now you’re offering free tickets! It’s like a dream. Thanks for delivering to us every day.

How divine are those photos? The totes are so cute too. What an amazing giveaway

Wow. What an amazing performance. Shall be truly wonderful.

fingers crossed- what a fantastic prize

My obsession with ballet is only equaled by my obsession with nice bags…

Dearest Lucy, at the ripe old age of 33 I thought I would try to be more Cultured. First stop-Melbourne Chamber Orchestra. A.MA.ZING, but if it weren’t for my darling boy I would have missed the second half because I thought everyone was leaving but it was just interval-ooops! Maybe I need to go to the Ballet for practice??

An amazing colab for an amazing prize

good luck everyone!

What an amazing prize! What a gorgeous bag! Choose me, s’il vous plait!

o la la to win one of these gorgeous bags & ballet tickets would be amazing!! :)

wow beautiful photos – great way to start the day, thanks! Can only imagine how beautiful the show will be! Or perhaps I won’t have to imagine…!

Oo-La-La Yes Please!!!

Wonderful photos and such cute bags!

pick me, pick me!

I think that the new Ballet photos are breathtaking. I wish Jez Smith had been there on my wedding day!

I would love to be a ballerina – all that elegance and poise! Alas, I have two left feet!

I’m have a crush on ballet too! I am starting classes next month finally and looking forward to it. The bag would be perfect to carry my ballet gear in! Please count me in!

We don’t get to see much ballet in Hobart, but the times I have have truly been majical. Please count me in for this prize :)

Sounds great, count me in.

Stunning. Ballet is always on the ‘to do list’ but don’t often get around to it. This production looks great.

My name is Bettina and it does rhyme with Ballerina.
In primary school i was reminded most days of this. “Bettina pretty ballerina”
Its ok because i did have a tutu and my mum played Swan lake on our record player often.
What a fantastic prize!

I can’t believe so many have commented so early. It just shows how popular Ballet is!

“I wanna be the Prima Ballerina!”
Merci beaucoup TDF. x

I have never seen The Australian Ballet and I really should !!!!! I can pretend that I can do all those dancey things with AB bag on my shoulder-sigh.

Ooo yes please…

Ballet in Melbourne – welcome!

I have never been to the ballet but the costumes are calling me to this ballet.

I have been absolutely dying to go to the ballet at the Opera House and my partner hasn’t quite picked up on my hints… Maybe this is my chance? In time for my birthday too! Or else a lovely surprise to take my hard-working Mum back home in Melbourne for a girls’ night out.

Those Totes are Totes awesome… lol..
I love the ballet, I have a cut out for the “edge of Night” and “Nutcracker” which are both soon at my desk right now. Its been a huge inspiration for my work and play even… its hard not to have a crush on it to tell you the truth. Count me in on this competition. though yet again you have made a sale out of me… could you stop for a while? just a few weeks… while I catch up? have a bath with some of the products you have mentioned. listen to my wonderful CD’s… Actually don’t stop. I would miss you too much.

how ridiculously elegant is the ballet? am hoping that if i carry a chic ballet tote, some of that elegance will rub off…

What a treat that would be! Ballet tickets and that gorgeous tote bag!! Fingers (and everything else) crossed.

Always wanted to go to the ballet but so far have never been. Would love the opportunity!
Thanks

Lucy, what an outstanding prize to share. Fingers crossed x

By the way, I’ve been redecorating and using The Design Files as my inspiration, so thanks a heap :)

tights, toe shoes,tutu..terrific

Oh to be a ballerina!!!

Loved all the photos of the ballet dancer with the tote. Absolutely stunning!

I have an ad for this torn out of a magazine sitting on my dining table. As Canberra has no stage big enough for The Australian Ballet we miss out: I was hoping to incorporate a trip to Melbourne for the Tim Burton exhibition with an Australian Ballet fix.

Maybe you could make this a reality?

I totally agree, the Australian ballet is all that you could want!
Tote bags look great and help save the environment…fabulous! Thank you for posting this post :)

Wow, what gorgeous photographs, graphics and totes..great idea Australuan Ballet & great blog, thanks for the inspiration! 

I would love to see the ballet with a friend!

Je t’aime Ballet!

I’ve been a fan of the amazing photography the Australian Ballet use for many years. Great giveaway Lucy!

these pictures give me chills!…
and the bag reminds me of my favorite ballet, the red shoes.

Beautiful! What a lovely idea, design and dance coming together.

gorgeous, amazing, beautiful, inspiring…………..count me in for a chance!

I first saw the Australian Ballet in the 60’s with my mum when I was nine year old ballet student. They performed A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a stunning and magical production that left me spellbound. After the show, mum managed to get us backstage to meet the ballerina Elaine Fifield in her dressing room, can you imagine? She was beautiful and gracious, signing my program and asking me about my ballet classes. A night I will never forget!

If I attend does super intelligence and devastating attraction transpire on to me?? lol In that instance it may even be worth BUYING tickets…………. free’s good too though! :D

I’d like to be a winner :-D Always wanted to go to the ballet (that’s right, I’ve never been *gasp*).

I’m entering this for my ballet mad daughter. The tote’s for me though!

My grandma was the first female stage manager in New York of the Ballet de Corps, and sadly, I’ve never been….but it looks just fabulous and unbelievably beautiful

The best things in life certainly come for free!

I love the Australian ballet, I went last year for the first time to see their show Concord and it was amazing! Such beautiful costumes, lighting, dancers, music, just gives me goosebumps thinking about it again…fingers and toes are crossed!

Thank you and my fingers and toes are crossed!

Oh gosh – those totes are divine. Bring on September when they’re back in store!

As a little girl I dreamed of being a ballerina…now I dream of attending a performance by The Australian Ballet!

oh swoon, beautiful, beautiful photos.
what a gorgeous prize, thank-you.

Great promo and just like everyone else here I love the ballet and would be thrilled to go ( for an inspiring night out and a wee break from from the 3 little ones, 4yrs, ,3yrs and 7mnths! ) Thanks for your hard work and always inspiring posts. I am new to TDF and I LOVE it. Thanks Lucy.

I wanna be the prima ballerina!

I used to plie, chasse and jete. Til I started enjoying cake too much.

Totes about to make some lame joke about the totes being totes lovely when I scanned down and saw a Joh already had – ouch.
Sucks to be totes like everyone else.
Praps new tote and trip to the ballet would make me feel better….

Thanks for such a lovely giveaway Lucy!!

That’s a cult bag right there!

I’ve just become a “ballet mum” this year to Miss 8 & Miss 3 & this tote would be just perfect to carry around the ever growing arsenal of ballet accessories we’re quickly acquiring. As Madame Gazelle from Peppa Pig says, “Petite jete … Grace & beauty.”. That’s the tote and of course, the wonderful Australian Ballet.

oh i wish i was a ballerina :)

Hi Lucy
I would LUUUUURVE to win this prize.
A prize it would be
To see the ballet
To tote a bag…
And share the eye opening experience

I loooove the Australian Ballet, I think they are fantastic and the totes and so adorable too!

Ballet Ballet Ballet… How I love Ballet, I wish I was a Ballet dancer….
I can only watch now, I use to learn Ballet when I was a kid, until someone don’t want to be friends with me anymore because she got a new one…. :( and I was friendless then….., and stopped ballet…… What a regret…..

I want this sooooo badly for my mum, who spent alot of her youth an 20’s dancing, as a ballerina, professionally BEFORE the AB came along, I am still very proud when people tell me my mum walks beautifully and so precise and up right..Its unfortunate that she got a daughter that is more like the dancing hippo from fantasia…but she love me!

Please please please….my dream!!!!

Oh, how I would like that! Sooooo wonderful!
