Hello darlings! It's your favourite pink-tutu-clad blogger, Emma, and it's time for another Friday blog post. I'm currently typing this from a lovely little cafe near the Royal Albert Hall, feeling absolutely buzzing after a brilliant day exploring London.
This week, I was back on the trusty train from Derbyshire, fuelled by excitement for another London adventure. There's something about that train journey, isn't there? Watching the green fields slowly turn into towering buildings, the rhythm of the tracks, and the thrill of arriving at Kings Cross station… it all feels magical, especially when you're wearing a fluffy pink tutu and carrying your trusty pink ballet bag!
This time, my visit to London was all about celebrating the magic of ballet in the city! And, as you know, darling, whenever there's a ballet performance, a pink tutu has to make an appearance!
The week started with a beautiful performance at the Royal Opera House. You wouldn't believe the gorgeous costumes - we're talking layers of tulle, shimmering fabrics, and all shades of pink, of course! And the dancing...simply divine. I almost felt inspired to pirouette down the aisle afterwards, but I'd be too embarrassed in my tutu to actually do it. Maybe one day!
Pink Shopping Therapy in Knightsbridge
But no London trip would be complete without a little retail therapy! On my way to the opera house, I made a detour through Knightsbridge. I simply cannot resist a browse in Harrods! I'm absolutely head over heels with their new spring collection - the pastels, the ruffles, the bows... it's all so dreamy. And, naturally, there was a good helping of pink tutus, just for me!
While I managed to restrain myself from buying everything in sight (that’s a tough challenge, trust me!), I did leave with a gorgeous new pair of shoes, perfect for a cheeky twirl or two.
London Fashion on a Budget
Even if your budget isn't quite Harrods-level, there's a delightful mix of fashion on offer all over London. My friend Lily (a fellow tutu enthusiast) showed me a brilliant vintage store near Notting Hill Gate, overflowing with vintage treasures. We spent hours digging through the racks, and I managed to find the perfect pink cardigan for my new pink ballet outfit - how divine is that!
Dinner and Dancing at the Dorchester
In the evening, I joined a friend for a fantastic dinner at the Dorchester Hotel. I swear, the glamour there just oozes out! The chandeliers are twinkling, the walls are covered in beautiful paintings, and the ladies are all so elegantly dressed. It made me want to spin a few waltzes around the ballroom… perhaps next time!
After dinner, we headed over to Covent Garden, the beating heart of London's theatrical scene. It's always such a delightful atmosphere there! We caught a fantastic show featuring a variety of dancers and artists from all over the world. I couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of their skills… but mostly, I was just captivated!
London is a Dance Floor
London is truly a city that celebrates art in all its forms. And with ballet at its heart, it seems only fitting that the entire city becomes a stage for this exquisite art form.
From the bustling street performers to the glamorous ballet stars, everyone's dancing in their own way! Even the London underground felt a little bit more theatrical this week - maybe it's just me, but the trains seem to move in time with an invisible beat. I just know my tutu twirling got a few curious stares!
But honestly, I don't mind the attention! Spreading the pink tutu love is part of my mission! I want to inspire everyone to find their inner ballerina and celebrate the beauty of dance in their own way.
Looking forward to the Week Ahead
As for my weekend plans… I think a quiet night in with a cup of tea, a good book, and, of course, my pink tutu will be in order. I’ve got a big ballet class on Monday morning to prepare for, so I need to rest those tired feet! But I already can't wait to share next week's adventures here on the blog!

Lots of love and pink sparkles,
