Hello my darlings! It's Monday again, which means it's time for another fabulous post from your favourite pink tutu-wearing ballerina blogger, Emma! This week, I'm bursting with excitement to share all the amazing adventures I've had in New York City, the Big Apple itself! 🍎
Oh, how I adore this city! The energy, the fashion, the incredible culture... it truly does have it all. I've been here a little over a week now, and I'm already feeling like a true New Yorker! 🗽
Let me tell you, it's a whole different experience dancing in the heart of this bustling metropolis! There's a constant buzz, a feeling of something incredible happening every second, and of course, the endless possibility for finding the perfect tutu! 💖
Now, I know you all know how much I love my pink tutus - it's literally the defining feature of my whole look, right? But even I was shocked by the sheer variety of tutus on offer here! You wouldn't believe the boutiques, department stores, and even vintage shops dedicated to ballet and dancewear - it's an absolute dream! I mean, who could resist a tutu shop called "The Tutu Tea Party?" It's simply divine! 🫖
Of course, the highlight of my week has to be seeing a performance of Swan Lake at the Lincoln Center! It was beyond breathtaking, my darlings! The grandeur of the theatre, the incredible costumes (including a gorgeous pink one for Odette, of course!), the skill of the dancers, the captivating music… I could barely keep the tears in! I felt like I was in a dream! 🦢
But you know me, I'm not all about just watching ballet! I've been keeping up my practice, too. There's an amazing studio I found right in the heart of Times Square, surrounded by neon lights and bustling crowds! Can you imagine, stretching and twirling surrounded by all that energy?! 🏙️
After class, I ventured out to explore the city's hidden treasures. I wandered through Central Park, savouring the crisp autumn air, and marveled at the colourful foliage, feeling utterly charmed. Then I found the most adorable little café on the Upper East Side where I indulged in the most delicious cheesecake (don't judge, it was pink!). 😋
Speaking of indulging, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to some of its most famous fashion haunts. My girls and I had a delightful day exploring the flagship stores of all my favourite brands. I mean, we can't go to New York City without bringing home a little something for the wardrobe, can we?! And of course, I had to pick up a few tutus to add to my collection - because the more tutus, the better, right?! 💅
Of course, no exploration of the city would be complete without experiencing the legendary New York subway! It truly is a city under a city! I even caught the 7 train with its stunning skyline views! 🌃
And as always, I wouldn't be a true Pink Tutu blogger if I didn't share some inspiring thoughts! So, here's my challenge to you this week, darlings: Embrace your inner pink tutu! It's not just about wearing a fluffy pink skirt, but about expressing yourself, adding a touch of sparkle and whimsy to your daily routine, and celebrating the power of joy and beauty! 💖
Don't forget, you can catch up with me every Monday on my website, www.pink-tutu.com. I can't wait to hear your thoughts and see what incredible tutu-tastic moments you've had in the past week! Until next Monday, my loves! Keep shining! ✨
