Hello my darlings! It's Friday, which means it's time for another London adventure! This week I've traded my Derbyshire countryside for the bustling metropolis, hopping on a train as usual, a swirling pink tutu twirling around my legs (of course!). Today's outfit is a riot of pink: a tulle tutu in the softest blush shade, a floral print top and a cardigan for warmth - it's getting chilly here in December. I finished off with a pair of ballet flats and my signature pink handbag. Now, isn't that the perfect London look?
London Bound!
The journey down from Derbyshire was a delight as always. The train ride offered a charming view of the English countryside changing colour, with the fields turning a beautiful brown and the trees boasting their autumnal colours. A hot cup of tea and a good book is all I needed for a relaxing trip. My ballet performances in Derby have been keeping me busy, but London calls to me like a siren's song, I have a feeling today will be filled with all the beautiful things London has to offer: theatre, shopping, and maybe even a peek into a delightful vintage store or two!
Opening Night!
Speaking of theatre, I couldn't be more excited! I'm heading to the theatre tonight to watch "The Nutcracker" - my all-time favourite! I always get swept up in the magic and romance of it. It's almost as though I'm part of the story, waltzing with the Sugar Plum Fairy and venturing into the magical land of sweets. My best friend Alice, my resident fashionista, is joining me. It’s the perfect combination, her love of style mixed with my love of ballet – what more could we ask for!
Fashion and Frivolity
After the performance, Alice and I plan to visit London’s famous shopping district. We’ve planned to scout out some dazzling Christmas gifts, I might even be tempted to treat myself to a sparkly new pink party dress for the festive season. Now, don’t think for a second that my obsession with pink is unhealthy! I see it as an embodiment of happiness, joy, and even a little bit of whimsy. What could be better? And speaking of whimsical, who knows what other lovely finds we might discover in the charming boutique shops around Oxford Street? I can almost smell the cinnamon and gingerbread in the air!
A Taste of History
Later in the day, I have a date with London's grand history! We are visiting Buckingham Palace and, of course, it wouldn’t be a proper London outing without a picture in front of the famous changing of the guard. I’m hoping for a glimpse of the Queen, even a quick wave will suffice. She embodies elegance and grace, which, like the colour pink, is just a wonderful reminder of what is truly lovely and graceful in life!
Street Performances & Twirling
A quick bite for lunch and then, of course, we’ll need a trip to Covent Garden! Covent Garden is a treat for the senses - street performers, shops, a bustling market… I can’t wait! My tutu will definitely be out in full force in the street performances! After all, what's a little twirl amongst the London buzz?
Food for Thought
A full day means we'll need a proper meal. It wouldn't be London without a delightful high tea! We will certainly need to stop for some tasty tea, scones and cakes. Perhaps even a macaron, maybe two? Oh the possibilities!
And Lastly…
There you have it, my loves. My day of London adventures, which I promise will be an absolute dream. Every journey is about a fresh start, a new story to write, and the chance to be transported to another time, another world. As always, stay tuned for next week’s Friday adventures, and remember, I’m sending all the pink tutu magic your way!
See you next Friday!
