Hello, darlings! It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another edition of Pink Tutu Blog London! This week, I took the train down from my little haven in Derbyshire to spend a magical day exploring the bustling heart of London. Oh, how I love that journey! There's just something so exciting about hurtling through the countryside, watching the fields flash by, knowing that soon I'll be stepping into a city brimming with creativity and energy.
Today's mission? A whirlwind of fun, of course! It's hard to pick a favourite moment, but I think the first part of the day stole the show. I arrived in London just in time for a delicious afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. Can you even imagine a more quintessentially British treat? The delicate sandwiches, warm scones with clotted cream, and, of course, a plethora of divine pastries and dainty cakes - it was a fairytale come to life!
But before you picture me sipping tea in a silk dress with pearls, I have to confess - I was wearing my favourite pink tutu! Yes, I do love to inject a bit of my own brand of flair into every outing, and London's charm just begs for a touch of pink. Besides, who needs a fancy dress when you've got a pink tutu? It's both a statement and a reminder to enjoy every moment with the same youthful joy and wonder that we have as little ballerinas.
And the fun didn’t stop there! After my tea, I ventured to the Covent Garden Market. The stalls overflowing with colour, the bustling crowd, the aroma of fresh fruit and delicious street food – it was pure sensory overload. This market is a constant source of inspiration, particularly when it comes to finding new outfit ideas. Speaking of outfits, darling, did I tell you about my new vintage Chanel bag? I found it tucked away in a dusty corner of a shop off Portobello Road. Talk about a perfect accessory to elevate my tutu ensemble!
By the time evening rolled around, I was already buzzing from all the excitement. But London’s not done yet! Tonight was the opening night of the new production of "Giselle" at the Royal Opera House. To say I was excited is an understatement! Every ballerina dreams of seeing this show. It's a classic, but there's always something new to be discovered in its portrayal of love, loss, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. My favourite part? Of course, the incredible costumes! There was a symphony of tulle and satin swirling on stage, with those glorious Romantic-era skirts – my heart truly danced to the music.
Now, before I go, I can’t end this blog post without touching on my ever-present aim in life: getting everyone to wear a pink tutu! So, what better way to close this week’s blog than by encouraging you, darlings, to try something new, to add a touch of pink to your life? Pick a piece of your favourite shade of pink, wear it proudly, twirl, and be bold! It’s the little things that bring the magic to everyday life, and the world is a much brighter place when everyone embraces their unique style, even if it means a few extra twirls in a tutu!
That's it for this week, my dear readers! Be sure to catch me on next Friday for another instalment of Pink Tutu Blog London! I'll be sharing my favourite street style finds, as well as tips on how to add a dash of ballet to your everyday wardrobe. Don't forget to check out www.pink-tutu.com and follow me on all my socials!
