Hello my lovelies! It's Emma here, your favourite tutu-wearing, pink-obsessed, ballerina blogger, and I'm absolutely buzzing to be back in London for a weekend of girly delights! 🎉
This week, I've traded the rolling hills of Derbyshire for the bustling streets of the Big Smoke, arriving by train, of course. There's something so magical about a train journey, especially when you're heading for an adventure. My outfit, naturally, was pink perfection – a blush-coloured knit with a flowing tulle skirt (you know, just your standard "going-to-London" ensemble 😉) and my trusty pink ballet pumps, ready for a whole lot of exploring.
It's Friday, which means a brand new #PinkTutuBlogLondon post for you all, bursting with my favourite things – ballet, fashion, shopping, and of course, the wonderful city of London itself!
A Ballet Blitz 🩰Now, you know I'm a complete ballet fanatic, and it's impossible to be in London without taking in a performance. Today, I saw the most breathtaking production of Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. The music, the dancing, the sheer beauty of it all left me speechless. The ballerinas glided across the stage like swans on a crystal lake, their grace and artistry breathtaking. Every pirouette, every arabesque, was a testament to their skill and dedication. And the costumes – oh my! They were absolutely stunning, a mix of elegant white for the swans and opulent, rich reds for the villainous Von Rothbart. The whole experience was simply divine!
Of course, I couldn't leave without a peek at the ballet shops and an adorable ballerina-themed gift for my little niece, who dreams of dancing as gracefully as those amazing performers.
Fashion Fiesta 🛍️After the ballet, I treated myself to a delicious afternoon tea at a charming cafe near Covent Garden. It's a must-do in London, especially for those who, like me, adore cakes, scones and a good pot of tea! And what did I wear? Why, a vibrant pink tulle dress, a fluffy pink cardigan and some dazzling diamanté ballet flats, of course. It wouldn't be a #PinkTutuBlogLondon day without some major pinkness, right?!
Then it was on to the shops! Covent Garden is a treasure trove of designer boutiques and vintage treasures, so naturally, I couldn't resist a little retail therapy. I found a fabulous pink beret (it was just calling my name!), a couple of stunning scarves, and a pair of shimmery ballet flats. It's a good job I have a large suitcase because I always come home with an impressive array of new outfits and accessories. After all, every girl needs a little sparkle in her life! ✨
Pink & Pretty 🎀But a London adventure isn't complete without some Instagram-worthy photo opportunities, is it? So, of course, I found myself in the most delightfully pink and whimsical spots, posing for photos. I struck a ballerina pose at a flower market adorned with a vibrant array of pink roses. A picture perfect moment indeed! I also indulged in some delectable pink gelato by the River Thames and popped in a pink tutu in front of a blooming wisteria wall, the quintessential pink background. (It’s going to be the feature picture on my #PinkTutuBlogLondon, just watch this space!)
The rest of the evening involved dinner with friends at a fabulous Italian restaurant in Notting Hill. We had the best pasta, enjoyed live music, and had plenty of laughter. You know how it is, my dearest blog readers! Life’s truly all about good company, tasty treats and of course, those killer shoes.
Spreading the Pink Tutu Love 💕Remember my mission? To get everyone wearing a pink tutu! Well, today was another big step towards achieving my dream. I encountered a group of lovely women enjoying afternoon tea at a local park, all rocking colourful attire. Naturally, I struck up a conversation, all in the name of the pink tutu! Turns out they were fashion enthusiasts too, and one of them even admitted she’d bought a pink tutu for her granddaughter – what a joy to see my dream shared! And before I knew it, I was giving a mini-performance of my latest ballet routine for the whole group – let's just say they were amazed, and the tutus started flying off the shelves! (Or at least I’d like to imagine they did, all because of me!) Isn’t it great when you can inspire others to get pink and girly?!
Until Next Time…London, you've charmed me once again! From the exquisite ballet to the delightful shopping spree and the inspiring, heartwarming moment with my tutu-loving friends, it’s been a perfect day. I can’t wait for more London adventures, my dearies.
Until next Friday, keep twirling in pink and never stop believing in the magic of ballet and a good pair of pink shoes! ✨
Love,
Emma xxx
