#PinkTutuBlogLondon Friday 2015-10-02 Exploring London

Hello darlings! It's Emma here, ready to whisk you away on another exciting adventure! This week, I'm swapping my Derbyshire dales for the dazzling lights of London town! I hopped aboard a train, all rosy cheeks and pink tutu, and set off for the big smoke! Now, before we dive into the glamorous details, I just want to let you all know that I'm currently working on a project so dear to my heart - I'm aiming to make every single one of you wear a pink tutu! 😉 Imagine the glorious sight - a sea of pink tutus swishing through the streets! It'll be like a dream come true!

As the train chugged through the countryside, I felt that familiar buzz of excitement - London, I'm coming for you! It's like magic, how a journey can instantly transport you to a world of possibilities. I had my usual ritual for the journey - a cup of tea, my favourite magazine, and of course, my trusty travel kit filled with everything I needed for a fashionable London escapade! A pink compact mirror, a sparkly pink lipstick, and my little ballet shoes in a pretty pink case – prepared for a spontaneous twirl at any moment!

And what a welcome it was! London greeted me with a symphony of honking taxis, vibrant shop windows, and people rushing about with purpose. As soon as I arrived, I had to find my favourite pink bakery! This delightful haven, hidden amongst the bustling streets, had everything a girl could ever dream of: cupcakes, macarons, and pastries, all with the perfect shade of pink. I settled for a dainty pink strawberry cupcake, and I couldn’t resist getting a box of delicate pink macarons for later - I'll be savouring those throughout my London adventure.

Of course, my trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to London's grandest fashion stores! It's a paradise for any ballerina who loves a bit of sparkle and a touch of glamour. I fell in love with a gorgeous pink feather boa, just perfect for adding a touch of drama to any outfit. It looked especially enchanting when paired with a silk scarf with an intricate floral pattern – an explosion of femininity! Then, there was a pair of sparkling pink ballerina flats that danced before my very eyes. The intricate embroidery and the playful ribbon detail made them utterly irresistible! Of course, I snagged them immediately.

After a delightful afternoon of shopping, I headed towards the iconic West End theatres. Today, a new production of “The Nutcracker” had opened! As a true ballet enthusiast, this was simply too much to resist! The atmosphere buzzed with excitement. I was so impressed with the dancers' graceful movements and the mesmerising story unfolding before me. And oh, those costumes! All shimmering with sparkle, it felt like I was witnessing a magical fairy tale unfold. I spent the entire performance utterly enthralled, completely lost in the world of dance and drama. I felt as though I was right there on stage, pirouetting alongside the dancers!

Of course, no trip to London is complete without a gastronomic adventure. This Friday, I opted for a traditional afternoon tea in a beautiful, charming little tea room in Covent Garden. Imagine this – dainty sandwiches with fresh crustless cucumber sandwiches, mini scones piled high with clotted cream and jam, and endless pots of perfectly brewed English tea. The delicate aroma of freshly brewed Earl Grey, the clinking of china teacups, and the chatter of happy ladies made it an absolutely delightful afternoon. And don't even get me started on the dessert platter, overflowing with pink, rose-shaped macarons – heaven on a plate!

Even in London, my tutu is my trademark, a symbol of my passion for ballet. And let me tell you, this tutu took center stage this weekend. On Friday, I decided to take my favourite pink tutu to Covent Garden, the vibrant hub of street performers and art lovers. There I met the most wonderful street ballet performers. They twirled, they jumped, they leaped with such passion and joy. It inspired me so much, and of course, I had to join in the fun! My tutu danced amongst the crowd, its pink colour shining like a beacon. I even taught a few impromptu twirling lessons to delighted passersby! It's amazing how a little bit of twirling can instantly lift people's spirits!

As I end this blog post, sitting here with my London skyline view, I feel such gratitude for all the beauty this city holds. My London trip, filled with fashion, dance, and yummy treats, has given me so many precious memories. The thrill of hopping on the train, the excitement of London's bustling streets, the delicious food, the glamour of the West End, the sheer magic of ballet.

Remember, darlings, my mission remains the same: to inspire you to wear a pink tutu. Whether it's on a train journey, a city stroll, or a performance at the ballet, embrace the joy of twirling!

Until next week, stay sparkly, and remember – you are beautiful, you are special, and you are deserving of a little twirl every single day! 💕

Stay twirling, Emma
