Hello lovelies! It’s Friday, which means it’s time for a brand new London adventure! I’m back in the capital, feeling energised and ready to soak up the vibrant atmosphere. My train journey from Derbyshire was, as always, a dream. The gentle swaying motion always sets my creativity flowing and allows me to indulge in some much-needed daydreaming, my pink tutu twirling in my mind alongside plans for the perfect London outfit!
London just calls to me! It’s such a magical place where history and modern glamour meet, where vibrant street life blends seamlessly with breathtaking theatres and a captivating arts scene. And of course, the fashion! London’s style scene is unparalleled, offering everything from vintage chic to the latest trends – and of course, a fair share of pink tutus! 😉
This Friday’s adventures are all about embracing the city’s artistic soul. After a quick pitstop for a pink latte and a slice of Victoria sponge (one can’t visit London without trying it!), I’m heading to the Royal Opera House to see the new production of "La Bohème". I’m absolutely buzzing for it! It’s one of my all-time favourite operas, and the drama and passion of it are simply intoxicating.
Later in the evening, after a delicious Indian feast at my favourite restaurant near Covent Garden, I'll be making my way to Sadler’s Wells Theatre for a mesmerising performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It's a magical ballet with such enchanting costumes, and the energy of the dance always sweeps me off my feet!
Speaking of energy, I've been practising my pirouettes, of course, in preparation for the weekend’s adventures! It’s important to keep those muscles warm and toned for all the dancing I do! Who needs a gym when you've got ballet as your exercise routine, eh? I just love the feeling of effortless grace and poise that comes with ballet training, not to mention the mental clarity it brings!
Speaking of effortless, have you seen the latest ballet street fashion? I’ve been dying to incorporate some of the fluidity and elegant lines of dance into my everyday wardrobe. Think chic black turtlenecks, flowy tulle skirts, and of course, those quintessential pointe shoes! It’s all about merging classic femininity with a modern, effortlessly cool vibe – and who better to guide you on this journey than yours truly, the queen of the pink tutu, right?
I'll be documenting my London exploits on my Instagram (don’t forget to follow me @PinkTutuEmma) throughout the weekend, sharing all the pink tutu fun, the latest fashion finds, and, of course, some snippets of my favourite moments at the performances.
But before I get whisked away by the whirlwind of London excitement, I just have to mention a little secret: my travels are entirely self-funded by my love of dance! Every performance I give, every gig, every choreographed ballet routine is a little step closer to another unforgettable adventure, another stylish find, and another pink tutu moment in the City of Lights. So next time you're caught up in the excitement of a London theatre, or marveling at a captivating dance performance, remember, there’s a pink-tutu-clad ballerina behind the scenes, following her passion and spreading joy with every step!
