Hello my darling Tutu-loving friends! It's Emma here, and welcome to Pink Tutu Blog London, post number 389! This week, I've traded the Derbyshire hills for the bustling streets of London - oh, how I love the city! The energy is intoxicating! And today's adventure was a total dream, filled with tutus, dancing, and the most fabulous frocks you've ever seen.
I took the train, of course. The rhythmic sway of the carriages is so soothing, the perfect way to prepare for a day filled with London magic. I was practically vibrating with excitement as I zipped my pink polka-dot bag, packed with essentials - my ballet shoes, a little notepad for scribbling down ideas for future outfits, and my favourite pair of pink sunglasses, because even on a cloudy day, a girl needs her dose of sunshine!
Now, let's rewind. Yesterday evening, I treated myself to a show at the London Coliseum, which is absolutely divine. The Royal Ballet was performing The Sleeping Beauty, and it was utterly spellbinding. Princess Aurora, a veritable ballerina-in-waiting, was so elegant and captivating. The entire experience made me want to whirl and pirouette, which is pretty much my permanent state of being, anyway. 😊
Friday Flair: Exploring the Capital
Today was a glorious mix of exploring, ballet, and retail therapy! I began my day by venturing into Covent Garden, where the energy was infectious. I spotted a charming little shop brimming with antique teacups - my teacups are my prized possessions! Imagine, swirling tea, delicate china, and the aroma of fragrant chamomile. Oh, the bliss! The shop owner was so sweet; we chatted about ballet, our favourite tea blends, and the latest tutu trends (because, of course, everything revolves around tutus!).
My afternoon took me to the Royal Opera House for a ballet class! I felt so incredibly fortunate to join the vibrant and talented students, each one a whirling dancer with such poise and elegance. It's hard to believe, but the students are even younger than I am! It felt exhilarating to lose myself in the steps and move with the rhythm, my pink tutu twirling gracefully with every move. Even though I didn't do the Grand Jeté perfectly, I think my sheer enthusiasm made up for it! 😊
Fashion Flashes and Pink-tastic Dreams
Afterward, it was time for some much-needed retail therapy. Now, you all know I have a weakness for beautiful dresses. The gorgeous shop windows here in London, particularly those around Oxford Street and Covent Garden, beckoned with a kaleidoscope of colours, patterns, and textures. The shops are so tempting, offering a vast array of dresses that range from playful florals to chic evening gowns. I adore that sense of adventure you feel in the city - you can discover anything here!
This weekend's plans are overflowing with pink-tastic dreams: Tomorrow, I’m meeting up with my friend Sarah at The Savoy for a fabulous afternoon tea. We’ll be indulging in delicate sandwiches, miniature cakes, and an endless flow of tea, all served with a dose of sophistication that’s uniquely Savile Row! The ambiance is utterly captivating. Imagine, sitting in a plush, art deco room, with exquisite crystal teacups, surrounded by sparkling chandeliers. It truly is an unforgettable experience!
Sunday is my day for catching up with my blog! Oh, and some ballet practice - because you know me, I simply cannot resist a little twirl even if it is on a day off! 😉
To tutu or not to tutu… That is the question!
My dearest Tutu lovers, until next Friday, when I'll be sharing my latest London escapades, remember - the world needs more pink tutus! Let’s inspire others to embrace their inner ballerina and twirl with confidence. After all, what's life without a little pink tutu magic? 🌸💕
Love, Emma 💕🩰
