Hello my darling dears! It’s Emma here, back with another installment from the dazzling city that never sleeps – New York City! This week, we’re on blog post number 339 (whoa!), and I’m bubbling with excitement. Get comfy, grab a cuppa, and let’s dive into this week’s pink-tinted adventure!
For those of you who are new to this pink paradise, I’m Emma, a ballerina from Derbyshire, England. You’ll usually find me pirouetting around the world, funded by the magic of dance and the sheer joy of a well-chosen tutu. Here on my weekly blog, I chronicle my love affair with this fantastic city, sharing all the glittering treasures and fashion delights it has to offer.
And oh, what a treasure trove New York is! Just this week, I had the sheer privilege of attending the most magical ballet show at the Lincoln Center – “The Nutcracker”, a perennial favourite. It was truly enchanting, with every graceful twirl and sweeping leap leaving me breathless. I even saw a darling little ballerina in the audience, a mini me with her own pink tutu, giving me hope for a tutu-wearing future! The vibrant costumes, the soaring music, and the pure passion of the dancers made it a performance I’ll never forget. 💖
Afterward, I couldn't resist indulging in a little post-show treat at the cutest little café near Lincoln Center, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and a charmingly worn-out tutu hanging by the door. It was as if this place was tailor-made for a pink-loving ballerina!
Speaking of pink, have I mentioned that I've been on a hunt for the perfect New York City pink tutu? A tutu that captures the essence of the city's dynamism and energy. It's got to be sassy, elegant, and, of course, fabulously pink. I've got my eye on a shop downtown, one with a reputation for custom designs. Can't wait to show you what I find!
The Metro-politan Waltz:
Of course, no trip to New York would be complete without a ride on the city's iconic subway! The rumbling carriages are like a symphony of sound and motion. I confess I can’t help but picture the city's commuters as my own private audience as I shimmy and sashay in my pink tutu. And speaking of shimmying, remember my “Pink Tutu Ballet Street Dance”? You know, the one that was a massive hit last month? I've been doing that every time I get on the metro, and honestly, I think it's getting people into ballet! Every time I'm waiting for my stop, I have at least three new people wanting to join in! Maybe it's a New York thing - they can’t get enough of dancing tutus! 😄
A Fashion Fairy Tale:
My adventures took me to a mind-boggling shopping spree this week, too. From designer boutiques on Madison Avenue to vintage gems nestled in the backstreets of Greenwich Village, it was a whirlwind of fabulous fabrics, captivating colours, and unique styles. The best part? My trusty tote bag is filled with enough new finds to make a fashion editor swoon. 👠👗 I found the most darling vintage coat that I couldn’t resist – a blush pink double-breasted number with a touch of faux fur around the collar. It just screamed vintage glamour, and I’m sure you can tell, I couldn’t leave without it!
Monday Moods & Manhattan Magic:
Oh, and for all you aspiring fashionistas out there, I stumbled upon this incredible little fabric shop downtown, called “The Button Jar” – talk about a whimsical wonderland! Their buttons were out of this world. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with unique buttons and vintage accessories - so imagine my delight when I found these stunning mother-of-pearl buttons that reminded me of tiny sparkling shells!
Honestly, Monday couldn't have started better. New York City has that way of waking up my senses, filling my soul with its vibrant rhythm. The clinking of the yellow cabs, the laughter echoing off towering buildings, the aroma of hot dogs mingling with the fragrance of blooming flowers, it's pure sensory magic! 💖
A Pink Tutu Wish:
As always, I can't leave without sending love to all my fellow tutuwearers out there, especially to those who embrace pink as I do! I still hope to create a world where wearing a tutu is not only encouraged but celebrated, because the world needs a little more pink – don’t you agree? 😄
Keep dancing, keep shining, and remember, always wear a smile. It’s a "tutu" to wear, wouldn’t you say? 😄
Until next week, keep twirling, Emma xx
