#PinkTutuBlogLondon - Friday 2019-04-12: Pink Perfection in London Town! ππΈ
Hey lovelies! π
It's Emma, your pink tutu-loving ballerina, back with another #PinkTutuBlogLondon post, this time from the bustling heart of the Big Smoke! β¨
This week, I've been living out my London dream - train rides, iconic sights, and a sprinkle of pink tutu magic all rolled into one! π It feels so good to be back in this inspiring city, especially since this Friday marks a very special dateβ¦ a Friday the 13th, but for me, it's definitely a lucky one! π
As usual, I'm funding my London adventure through the joy of ballet β I've been performing all week in the gorgeous Derbyshire countryside, sharing my love of the dance and all the pretty pink tutus that go with it. And I'm so grateful for the chance to keep pursuing my passion, which lets me explore amazing places like London! π
Now, let's delve into my whirlwind day exploring the city, all documented in glorious detail for you, my dear #PinkTutuLovers! π₯°
Morning: A Train Journey and London Dreams πβ¨
I've got to confess β I love train travel. The anticipation, the scenery whizzing by, the sound of the tracks β it all makes my heart sing. Today, I was chuffed to be journeying from Derbyshire down to London, decked out in my signature pink tutu (naturally!), a bright floral cardigan for some springtime colour, and comfy travel boots that could keep up with my whirlwind explorations.
On the train, I settled into a corner seat by the window, popped in my earphones for some jazzy ballet-inspired tunes, and let my mind wander through all the London delights awaiting me. From iconic red buses to grand museums, my imagination was running wild! π
Afternoon: The Majesty of Buckingham Palace ππ
After arriving at Victoria Station, I jumped on a bus straight to Buckingham Palace. And wow, did it ever live up to the hype! The majestic architecture, the changing of the guard (which I arrived just in time for!), the whole grand atmosphere just took my breath away! π
As I strolled past the royal gates, I took a few snaps with the beautiful floral displays around the palace. You can't help but feel a little bit special standing in such a historic place. The royal family certainly know how to put on a show, and even if you don't happen to be a monarch, a visit to Buckingham Palace is pure magic. π
Shopping Sojourn: Pink Paradise in Kensington ποΈπ
A ballet performance may be my passion, but after my palace encounter, my shopping instinct kicked in! π It was time for some retail therapy at my beloved Kensington β the heart of London's chicest boutiques.
I found myself browsing racks and racks of colourful garments β bright pinks, of course! My wardrobe was definitely needing some refreshing after all those tutu rehearsals. π A new lace blouse with delicate pink embellishments was calling my name β how could I resist? π And just as I was leaving a cute little boutique, I spied a fluffy pink pom-pom bag, which I snapped up without a moment's thought. π
The whole experience was like stepping into a fairytale β gorgeous stores, glamorous clothes, and, most importantly, all that lovely pink! π
Evening: Ballet Enchantment at Sadler's Wells π©°π
For my evening treat, I was off to the incredible Sadler's Wells Theatre! If you haven't been, you must put it on your bucket list! It's not only the theatre, but the whole experience β the elegant lobby, the hushed anticipation as you enter the auditorium, the dazzling lighting, the sense of pure artistry all around you... β¨
I saw a magnificent contemporary ballet production with dazzling costumes and mesmerizing choreography β a pure masterpiece. And even though the performance was stunning, there's something incredibly captivating about witnessing the sheer talent of the dancers up close. β¨
My evening at Sadler's Wells was truly inspiring β it filled me with even more enthusiasm to share my own love for ballet with the world. π
My Pink Tutu Verdict on London? π
This week's London adventure was everything I dreamt of and more! The excitement, the sights, the shopping, and, of course, the wonderful ballet. I absolutely fell in love with the city's vibrant energy all over again. π
And, as always, I had the perfect dose of pink throughout the whole experience, whether it was a pink floral handbag, a bright pink ballet dress at Sadler's Wells, or simply the dazzling pink sunsets over London. π
My #PinkTutuBlogLondon journey may have come to an end, but I already know one thing β London will be calling me back soon. π₯°
And, my lovelies, I urge you: Let's make every day a celebration of pink and beauty. Embrace your inner ballerina, channel that fabulous spirit, and maybe even throw on a pink tutu β you never know how much magic you might find! πβ¨
Until next Friday, stay fabulous, and remember:
Life is a pink tutu β full of graceful moves, captivating moments, and beautiful, twirling memories! β¨
