Hello gorgeous pink-lovers! It's Friday, which means it's time for another #PinkTutuBlogLondon adventure. This week, I'm straight outta Derbyshire and straight into the vibrant energy of London town. And you know what? I'm wearing a pink tutu! Because, let's face it, a trip to the big city calls for a dose of serious fabulousness, don't you think?
Train Journeys are the Best
My trusty little train took me right to the heart of London. There's just something magical about train journeys, don't you think? I love watching the countryside whizz by, dreaming about all the amazing things I'll see and do in the capital. I even managed to squeeze in a little bit of ballet practice, squeezing in some elegant plies and graceful arabesques between watching the rolling hills fly past my window!
London Fashion on Point
Right off the bat, I was struck by the fashion scene. I mean, it's London - the birthplace of countless fashion trends! People were strutting their stuff, each with their own unique style, and it was inspiring. The colour palette was fabulously bold - think bright blues, sunny yellows, and, of course, loads and loads of pink! (I knew I was in the right place, hehe). And then there were the hats - so many fantastic, bold hats, from floppy straw fedoras to bright, feathered fascinators, I was in awe. It’s great to be somewhere where being a little different is the norm and no-one bats an eyelid when you are in your favourite pink tutu!
Showtime!
Tonight is the big one, ladies. I'm off to see a ballet performance - The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House! Talk about a magical treat. The stage is set for an evening filled with graceful pirouettes, soaring leaps, and breathtaking artistry. It's going to be absolutely wonderful, and you know I'll be snapping plenty of pics to share on Instagram later! I love ballet so much. It's so beautiful, elegant, and expressive, and seeing it live takes it to another level.
A Bite of London's Finest
Before the performance, I'm treating myself to a bite at a charming little cafe just around the corner from the theatre. I opted for a yummy vegetarian sandwich, which was surprisingly light and fresh, and a pink smoothie! Nothing says “London adventure” like a juicy peach smoothie in the afternoon. It was absolutely perfect to refuel and get my sugar fix for the night ahead.
London at Night - Pink & Sparkling
London at night? Pure magic. It's like the city sparkles. All those twinkling lights reflect off the River Thames, and there’s just something so enchanting about it. After the show, I'm planning to do some exploring – maybe find a lovely bar to relax in or, if the night is calling me, perhaps venture out for a dance on a roof-top somewhere in the city! That sounds fun, right?
Shop Till You Drop!
A little London adventure wouldn't be complete without some shopping! There are so many amazing shops in the city – from high-street havens to luxurious designer boutiques. I'm on a mission to find some new outfits for my dance classes back in Derbyshire and for upcoming performances. You know me, I love bright colours, quirky prints, and sparkly details.
Friday Fun and the Ballet Blogger Life
So, that's my day in London, a mix of ballet, fashion, and lots of pink! I truly love the life I’ve built for myself. This week I’m thinking about sharing some more info about funding my life of dance and travel through performing - It might surprise some of you. I'll share the inside secrets in a separate post, but let’s just say it's all about passion, hard work, and a healthy dose of pink!
Until next Friday,
Stay pink, stay sparkly, stay true!
