I watched this video titled XOXO yesterday thanks to clothing store Free People and its blog. It’s directed by photographer Anna Palma for an agency called Swell and I liked it so much I had to share it with you. It almost looks as though these two adorable kids, Callie and Dylan, were dressed up in very fashionable outfits and filmed for the fun of it. The girl is such a great little ballerina and it was nice seeing kids just be kids for once. The video really cheered me up and inspired me. I love the polka dot room and had to laugh when the boy wiped his lip at the very end.

One of the things I liked the most about this video was the song choice! The song is Ambling Alp by Brooklyn, NY band Yeasayer. I’ve been listening to it all day long. I really like the positive and upbeat words and tune. There’s a whole back story to the song about boxing which is kind of hard for me to picture now after watching this video.

This video makes me wish I was a little girl again who could dance like a professional ballerina and, yet, it makes me want to go after my current dreams… all in one.
