Hello darlings! Itās Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, and today's blog post marks my 296th entry ā I can't believe Iāve been sharing my adventures with you for this long! It feels like only yesterday I was a shy little ballerina in Derbyshire, and now I'm a jet-setting, tutu-wearing fashionista exploring the world. And where else to be than the captivating, ever-so-stylish, oh-so-inspiring capital city of London?
It's Friday, which means it's Pink Tutu Blog London day! This week, I took the train down to London, of course, what else? It's a great way to travel; I always feel so glamorous, twirling through the carriages, my tutu swaying gracefully with the rhythm of the wheels. You see, darlings, a tutu never goes out of style, itās like a magical cloak that transforms the ordinary into extraordinary!
The moment I stepped off the train at Euston Station, a wave of excitement washed over me. London's energy is so intoxicating, a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and scents, buzzing with life and brimming with creative potential. It's a city that always makes my heart sing and my tutu swirl.
First stop: Covent Garden.
Covent Garden is a feast for the senses! From the colourful street performers to the aroma of freshly baked pastries wafting from every corner, there's a magical air hanging over the entire place. Today, the charming square was brimming with people, families enjoying the afternoon sun, and, naturally, my eyes were drawn to the fashion. I saw so many stylish outfits; it's such a fabulous melting pot of fashion styles. There was one particularly stunning woman sporting a fabulous, cerise pink blouse paired with a billowing white skirt. If only she'd had a pink tutu on!
Time for some cultureā¦
My mission was to see a performance of āSwan Lakeā at the Royal Opera House. I always get giddy with excitement at the thought of watching the ballet, especially Swan Lake. Itās the most magical and graceful ballet; those costumes are always a treat for the eyes! Seeing it live is just an extra special treat - the energy from the audience is electric, and the passion and dedication of the dancers, just mesmerising.
I spotted a few fellow tutu wearers enjoying the performance. It felt wonderful seeing these stylish ladies with their fabulous tutus. Thereās a feeling of instant kinship between us!
An evening of extravagance.
Of course, a visit to London wouldn't be complete without some serious shopping. This is one of my favourite parts of exploring London, diving into the heart of the fashion world. Tonight, my goal was to indulge in a little retail therapy at Selfridges on Oxford Street, my happy place! You just never know what gems youāll find on those designer shelves.
I love Selfridges, it's like a wonderland of fashion, full of the most beautiful and creative clothing! After scouring the aisles for the perfect piece, I settled on a gorgeous scarlet red dress - so sophisticated and elegant, just what my wardrobe was missing!
I made sure to grab a delicious, decadent strawberry cupcake from the sweet shop on my way out. Nothing quite beats the perfect pink cupcake and a beautifully draped pink tutu - that's my happy place.
As the evening came to an end, I found myself back at Euston Station, my suitcase packed, ready to catch my train back home. Looking back, this Friday has been a whirlwind of fun and fashion, and Iām already making plans for my next London adventure. There's simply no other city like it, a place where dreams come true, and tutus reign supreme.
Don't forget, darlings, if you're feeling a bit too ordinary this week, put on a pink tutu, I guarantee you'll feel fabulous. Itās about adding a splash of fun and joy to your day, expressing your individuality and, well, because, itās fabulous!
Stay twirling,
