#PinkTutuBlogLondon Friday 2018-10-26 Exploring London

Hello lovelies! It's Friday, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu Blog London post! 🎉 This week, I've been whisked away on a magical train journey from my little corner of Derbyshire to the heart of London, where the excitement levels are always sky-high. As you know, I adore the train, it’s so calming and allows my mind to wander (while keeping an eye on all those fantastic outfits, naturally!).

Today's theme is whirlwind Friday – and it's been just that, full of adventures, beautiful fashion, and even a spot of ballet, of course! 💃

So, grab a cuppa, slip on your most fabulous frock (and don't forget the pink tutu!), and join me on this enchanting exploration of Londontown!

The first stop on my whirlwind journey was a visit to Liberty London, the iconic department store that's practically bursting with gorgeousness. I mean, how can you not fall in love with its ornate Victorian facade? Stepping inside is like stepping into a whimsical wonderland of fabric, design, and everything stylish imaginable! I literally felt like I was waltzing into a fairytale!

While my wallet screamed a little bit at the prices (who can resist Liberty print fabric!), I simply had to find a special souvenir for myself. My choice? A delicate floral silk scarf, perfect for tying around my hair or draping around my neck for a touch of sophistication. It's a piece that will forever remind me of this trip!

After a spot of afternoon tea and a little daydreaming, my next fashion fix was a trip to Oxford Street. My eyes went into overdrive with all the dazzling shop displays – I honestly believe I saw a whole symphony of pinks, yellows, and golds, which, naturally, had my inner ballerina whirling with excitement!

No trip to London is complete without a dose of ballet magic, and tonight I had the privilege of experiencing the ethereal world of "Swan Lake" at the Royal Opera House. Honestly, I was practically bursting with excitement! It was a truly breathtaking experience, a seamless blend of elegant movement, haunting music, and powerful emotions.

The sheer artistry and skill of the dancers left me speechless – I'm not sure I can properly explain the feeling of being completely swept away in the performance. From the majestic swans to the fiery passion of the lovers, every detail captivated me. Even after the final curtain call, the experience lingered in my heart, a testament to the magic of ballet.

Speaking of magic, I managed to nab myself a programme signed by one of the dancers! Squeal! You bet I'm adding it to my cherished collection of ballet treasures. 🩰

Following the enchantment of Swan Lake, I found myself drawn to the electric atmosphere of Theatreland. The bustling streets, the vibrant energy – it was intoxicating! This time I chose to indulge in a completely different kind of theatre experience: a quirky, contemporary production that promised plenty of laughs and a touch of the surreal.

The title? Pink Tutu Pants! * Oh yes, it was almost meant to be! While not strictly about ballet, it was definitely a night filled with fabulous costume design, laughter, and a healthy dose of absurdity. The best bit? The entire cast wore *pink tutus, making it the perfect ending to my whirlwind Friday.

As I wind down this post, I can't help but reflect on the transformative power of a simple pink tutu. It has opened doors, fostered connections, and brought joy to my life, and I hope it continues to inspire others to embrace their own inner ballerina. And remember, ladies (and gents!), wearing pink tutus is not just about fashion, it’s about spreading happiness, reminding yourself of the childlike wonder of life, and, most importantly, it’s about expressing yourself in the most fun way imaginable.

Stay tuned for my next London blog post – there are so many adventures to come, and I can’t wait to share them with you! Until then, stay fabulous and wear your pink tutus with pride! 💖
