#PinkTutuBlogLondon Friday 2020-03-27 Exploring London

Hello my darling tutu-wearers! It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another instalment of Pink Tutu Blog London! I'm bubbling over with excitement after spending a delightful day exploring the capital. I left my little Derbyshire home bright and early this morning, hopping onto a train and feeling like a little ballerina princess in my most dazzling pink tulle number. Honestly, you just can't beat a train journey when it comes to fashion, and the scenery just seemed to blend beautifully with my swirling tutu.

As you know, my mission in life is to make the world a more vibrant and fabulous place, and this weekend it was all about finding London's most whimsical corners. Don’t worry, I’m bringing my special brand of pink-tinted enthusiasm to every destination!

Today's itinerary started with something close to my heart - ballet! This morning, I popped over to Sadler's Wells Theatre to catch a matinee of Romeo and Juliet, the ballet masterpiece that always stirs something within me. I’m still buzzing about the incredible choreography and the exquisite costumes - those colours! The whole experience had me feeling absolutely mesmerised. There's nothing like the thrill of a live performance, and let me tell you, seeing it in London with all the iconic architecture just makes it even more magical.

The day wasn't just about dancing though, as I embarked on a whimsical tour of London. First up, a trip to the charming Chelsea Physic Garden, a veritable explosion of vibrant colour and captivating fragrances. Honestly, you could get lost in the beauty of those blooms for hours! I particularly enjoyed the quiet peace of the Victorian Glasshouse. Just being amongst so many beautiful plants left me feeling calm and inspired. I couldn't help but notice how every detail of the garden was so carefully cultivated, much like a dancer's every movement is choreographed for a stunning performance.

From nature's wonder to the bustle of London's fashion scene, my afternoon involved a pit-stop at the stylish Harvey Nichols. As you can imagine, I simply had to delve into the world of elegant attire and captivating displays. Honestly, those windows are art! But it wouldn’t be Pink Tutu Blog without a bit of playful self-expression, right? You bet I had to try on a few dazzling dresses, and, of course, a pink tutu.

After all, if I can find a pink tutu for any occasion, the world can too!

I even caught a glimpse of a spectacular show at the Piccadilly Circus. As the lights twinkled around me, I realised how much London really feels like a stage - and my tutu is ready to be a part of the performance! After a whirlwind tour of this dazzling city, I'm returning home with a heart full of inspiration, a mind bursting with ideas for future Pink Tutu adventures, and, of course, some wonderful memories of my time in the Big Smoke.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “How do you find time to do all of this while being a dancer?" The truth is, I juggle a very full life and finding the balance takes practice and planning! However, being passionate about what you love is the secret to it all.

You see, every single performance that I do helps fund my passion for travelling and sharing the world with you. Ballet and London are my twin flames, I always feel my creative spirit thriving when I'm amidst this vibrant backdrop.

One of the joys of living a colourful life like this is connecting with people who share similar interests and enthusiasm. I am always discovering new hidden gems and unique places across London, and sharing it with you helps inspire and connect us as a community. It reminds us all to bring a bit of whimsical beauty and joy to our everyday lives.

And that, my lovelies, is precisely why we need a sprinkle of pink tutu magic everywhere!

Before we end this whirlwind blog post, I wanted to share a few style tips with you all, in honour of all the fabulous fashions I’ve been embracing this weekend. I know we've been on a journey through some spectacular scenery, and London has really brought out my adventurous fashion side! So, if you’re looking for inspiration for your next weekend adventure, I suggest channeling the energy of a pink tutu! Let it be your sartorial mantra. Let it be your excuse to break out the glitz and glamour. Let it be the perfect touch of feminine elegance for any occasion!

I know we love the colour pink for different reasons - I wear it to showcase the little ballerina within. Think about the things that bring out your inner spark. Think about how your personal style makes you feel, what it represents, and how you can inject some of your own personality into it. Fashion, my lovelies, should always be a form of self-expression!

It is a form of empowerment to let yourself be whoever you are, however you want to shine! Embrace the bright, vibrant pink of life!

I know I haven't spoken much about my performance schedule, so let's talk about that, as it’s a big part of my life! It has been a joy to share my performances in Derbyshire these last few months. From ballet studios to the theatre stage, it’s been wonderful connecting with local audiences. There's a very special feeling that comes from bringing art to the community, and I’m really excited about the future of my work.

I've also been putting in a lot of effort on www.pink-tutu.com, to provide you all with the latest news, fashion inspiration, and of course, those little doses of pink tutu joy. I'm thinking about creating a special “London Adventures” series soon, where I’ll be sharing even more of my London adventures! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun discovering all that the city has to offer, from street food to art galleries and the ever-charming tea shops!

In the meantime, my lovelies, don’t forget to share your own stories of London and its wonderful treasures in the comment section! And of course, never shy away from the vibrant world of fashion! As always, I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with joy, grace, and perhaps even a little sprinkle of pink tutu magic!

Love and twirls,
