Hello, darlings! It's Friday, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu Blog post, and this week I'm thrilled to be writing from the bustling streets of London!
As you know, I love nothing more than exploring new cities, especially when I can slip into a fabulous outfit that feels like an extension of my personality. And let's be honest, a pink tutu and London? It's a match made in fashion heaven!
Now, before I get into the details of my London adventure, I want to share a little secret about how I fund these wonderful trips. My answer, of course, is my true passion – ballet! Every week, I perform at different venues in Derbyshire, using the proceeds to fuel my travel dreams. It's not always easy, but it's certainly worth it when I get to experience new cultures and share my love of dance and fashion with all of you!
This week, I hopped on the train from my Derbyshire home, and it was pure joy from the moment I stepped on board. I must confess, a train journey always feels magical, especially when I'm wearing my trusty pink tutu – the gentle rocking of the carriage and the passing scenery just add to the excitement!
London was welcoming me with open arms, and the air crackled with a vibrant energy that only a city like this can conjure. My first stop was, of course, the fabulous Regent's Street, where I snagged some gorgeous pink accessories. It's no secret that I have a bit of an obsession with all things pink, and I can't resist a little bit of retail therapy! The perfect London outfit wouldn't be complete without a pair of adorable pink pumps – and I found the most divine pair with sparkly embellishments!
I had a lovely lunch at a charming café tucked away in a quiet alley off Oxford Street. The sandwiches were divine, and I treated myself to a slice of raspberry cake that melted in my mouth. What can I say? It's a tough life, being a travelling ballerina with a penchant for pink!
After lunch, it was off to the theatre to see a performance of "The Nutcracker" at the Royal Opera House. Oh, how I love a classic ballet! The grandeur of the Royal Opera House was simply breathtaking, and the dancers were incredible – so elegant and graceful. Every twirl, every leap, was a testament to their dedication and skill. It truly was a magical performance, and the ending had me welling up – even in my pink tutu, which felt more appropriate than ever during that magical moment!
Later that evening, I strolled along the River Thames, soaking up the twinkling city lights. The views from Tower Bridge were absolutely stunning, and it made me feel so grateful to be living my dream – to see the world and inspire others to embrace their own passions with enthusiasm and a dash of pink!
Now, for those of you wondering what I've been doing in the past week…
It's been a whirlwind! As you know, I try to keep things interesting and never let the tutu gather dust!
Last week, I performed for the third time at the local children's hospital charity dance gala in Derbyshire. I felt incredibly humbled and proud to help support such a worthy cause, and the children's eyes lit up when they saw me twirling in my pink tutu – it really is a joy to bring a little bit of sparkle to their lives!
Of course, no week is complete without some fashion fun! I found the cutest pair of pink ballerina flats with little pearl embellishments, and I just had to add a delicate pink headband with a feather accent to my growing collection.
This week I'm looking forward to catching a West End show, perhaps a musical or a drama with a beautiful set. There's always something incredible happening in London, and I can't wait to share my experience with you!
So, what are some of your favourite things about London? I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations! I'm open to suggestions, from the most iconic sights to hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
Until next Friday, my dears, remember to live life in full colour, and don't be afraid to twirl in your own personal pink tutu.
Stay fabulous!
Love,
Emma xx
