Hello darlings! It's Friday again, which means it's time for another installment of Pink Tutu Blog, straight from the heart of London! This week I decided to pack my sparkly pink suitcase and head for the big city, taking the train from my little corner of Derbyshire. You know me, always chasing adventure and the latest trends, and London never fails to deliver!
Trainspotting (in a Good Way!)
You'll never believe the cute train driver I had this morning! He must have sensed my excitement for London, because he let me have a little peek at the controls. My Tutu Travel tip of the day? Don't forget your pink headphones for that fabulous train journey playlist! I even found the most amazing book in the carriage, filled with beautiful ballet costumes – perfect for inspiring my next DIY Tutu project.
Shopping Spree with a Tutu Twist!
Of course, no trip to London is complete without a spot of shopping! I’m heading to Oxford Street first to soak up the energy and the fabulous window displays. And guess what, darling? I’ve found the perfect pink polka dot tutu for a romantic picnic in Hyde Park! And just because, I’ve picked up a few ballet-inspired outfits too.
I always love discovering hidden vintage shops, and this week I scored some fabulous statement earrings for under £10! They’ll look perfect with a floaty pastel skirt, some glittery tights, and, of course, my signature pink tutu.
Theatrical Delights and Ballet Bliss!
Tonight, I'm seeing "Swan Lake" at the Royal Opera House. Talk about dreams coming true! I’ve been dying to see it for ages, and it just happens to be my favourite ballet of all time. There’s just something so magical about seeing a live performance. I’m already planning my tutu outfit to match the gorgeous costumes - I might even attempt a bit of ballet-inspired makeup, just to channel my inner ballerina!
And speaking of ballet, I stumbled upon the cutest little dance studio tucked away on a side street in Covent Garden. They’re having a beginner’s class for adult ballet on Tuesday, so you better believe I'll be there! It's all about channeling my inner grace, learning a few new moves, and having a little fun in the process. You can never have too much ballet in your life, darling!
Food, Fashion, and Fun!
Oh, I can't forget the food! I had the most amazing vegan breakfast this morning in a tiny cafe near the station – it was absolutely divine! London truly does have something for everyone.
For dinner, I'm thinking a fabulous steak and chips at a chic French restaurant I found online. And let's not forget a bit of celebratory afternoon tea at one of the iconic London hotels. Afternoon tea is a truly quintessentially British tradition, and I just love the idea of having finger sandwiches, delicious cakes, and of course, my favourite, a teapot full of freshly brewed tea. It's so fancy, and totally appropriate for a tutu-wearing blogger.
Sharing the Love:
If you're thinking of a weekend getaway, London is truly an incredible city for ballet enthusiasts, shopaholics, and anyone who enjoys a good dose of fashion and culture. It's full of hidden gems just waiting to be discovered, so keep an eye on this blog for more London-centric adventures.
Now, darlings, tell me: What are your favourite places to visit in London? What is your favourite pink outfit? Have you seen "Swan Lake?" Don't forget to share your London tips in the comments!
Remember, darling, you’re never too old, too bold, or too tutu-rific to spread joy and pink!
Stay tuned next Friday for more of my London adventures. Until then, keep twirling, my dears!
Xoxo, Emma
