Hello darlings! It's your favourite tutu-wearing traveller, Emma, back with another dazzling adventure! This week I’ve hopped on the train from my lovely Derbyshire home and made my way to the wonderful city of London. As always, I packed my pinkest, most fabulous tutu for a day of exploring, seeing shows, and indulging in the fabulousness that London has to offer.
You know how much I love travelling by train, and this trip was no different! As soon as I boarded, I couldn't resist swirling and twirling, catching the attention of other passengers with my happy pinkness. I received smiles and waves, reminding me that spreading tutu-love truly brightens everyone's day.
The train journey was such a treat – I spent the time lost in my latest book, "The Nutcracker" by E.T.A. Hoffmann, naturally, with a delicious cup of tea and a slice of my mum's freshly-baked lemon drizzle cake (I wouldn’t travel without it!).
By midday, I was in the heart of London, and the excitement was palpable! There’s a certain magic that happens in this city, and I could feel it buzzing all around me. First, I went to the legendary Royal Opera House, a majestic building that makes my ballerina heart soar. Today was lucky day! They were putting on "La Bayadere", one of my favourite ballets, and I simply couldn't miss it. The entire performance was exquisite – the music, the costumes, the dancing... truly magical! I found myself utterly swept away, transported to another world of romance and elegance. After the performance, I took the time to marvel at the grandeur of the building, capturing photos of its beautiful exterior, which would look gorgeous with a splash of pink.
Speaking of pink, I then headed to Covent Garden, London’s famous theatre district. My goodness, what a glorious explosion of vibrant colours and beautiful people. This place never ceases to amaze me, and it’s perfect for spotting the latest trends and gathering fashion inspiration. I couldn’t resist snagging a fabulous silk scarf and a gorgeous pink beaded headband - naturally - and then treated myself to a delicious afternoon tea with delicate cucumber sandwiches and dainty pastries. Nothing beats a good cuppa and a bit of finger food, especially after a breathtaking performance.
Let’s Talk Tutus!
Covent Garden is always such a delight, but today was especially fabulous! I was so thrilled to see another tutu enthusiast there - a lovely young girl with a beautiful teal tutu, gracefully pirouetting in the market square. I couldn't resist joining her for a spontaneous dance session! She was absolutely brilliant, and I felt a wave of pure joy at witnessing the pure magic of dance. Sharing that joy with her made my day - it's incredible how even a little bit of shared passion can connect people so beautifully.
You see, darling, it's not just about me wearing a tutu - it’s about celebrating the joy and expression it brings to others! Imagine the world if everyone embraced their inner tutu-wearing self, wouldn't that be spectacular?
Later that evening, I headed to a fantastic ballet show at the Royal Albert Hall. The atmosphere was electric – so many tutu lovers gathered for a truly extraordinary performance. I met the most fantastic group of dancers who told me they followed my blog, and it warmed my heart so much! It feels amazing to know that I'm inspiring people to spread the love of dance and tutu-ific style.
A Final Thought...
Today, darling, my heart overflows with gratitude and joy. It was truly a dream day, filled with beauty, art, and the magic of dance. And you know what? I realised once again how wearing a pink tutu makes every day feel a little bit more special! You never know who you’ll meet or what memories you’ll make when you embrace the bold and embrace your own style. And darling, my ultimate dream is for every day to be as tutu-tastic as this one.

Until next time, keep on twirling and stay fabulous!
Lots of love, Emma xoxoxo
