Hello, darlings! It's Emma, back from another whirlwind week in the magical metropolis that is New York City! Iāve spent the past seven days flitting around, taking in the sights, sounds, and yes, the smells of this phenomenal place. If Iām honest, my favourite place to catch a whiff of anything other than my Chanel No. 5 is in Bloomingdaleās fragrance department. I adore getting lost amongst the beautiful smells - even if I can never really tell if Iām enjoying the scent itself or the experience! But weāre here for the fashion, not the perfume (even if they are intrinsically linked, darling!) - so back to the week!
Monday Magic:
This Monday, Iām writing from the very heart of this beautiful, bustling city ā my beloved Central Park. Itās the most wonderful space, a quiet haven of green amid the hustle and bustle. I spent the afternoon watching some incredible street dancers by Bethesda Terrace - truly incredible - so talented! My pink tutu twirled just a little, unable to resist the joy of watching such beautiful movement! There's nothing quite like a day in Central Park, darling. Itās simply divine, especially after a busy weekend of performances.
A Dance Across the Stage:
The weekend began with my favourite thing in the entire worldā¦ a show, of course! I was lucky enough to secure tickets for āGiselleā at the Lincoln Center. I simply adore this ballet ā the emotion, the choreography, and the costumes ā the most beautiful shade of pale pink. As the dancers spun across the stage, I was lost in the magic of the music and the artistry. Such stunning grace and power combined to create something truly special. I found myself twirling along, captivated, from the first notes to the final curtain. It really doesnāt get any better, my darlings!
Sunday Stroll and Shop:
Following that captivating evening, my Sunday was a delightful combination of shopping and exploring. My friend Chloe and I headed to SoHo ā it's a wonderland of chic boutiques and trendy coffee shops! I treated myself to a pair of exquisite pink ballet shoes from a quaint little shop called āLa Ballerina,ā which has become a personal favourite. I canāt resist a pair of gorgeous pink ballet shoesā¦ the colours, the satin, the perfect ribbon tying ā pure magic!
Later, we walked around the West Village and had afternoon tea at the ever-so-charming CafƩ Select. Everything about it is perfectly Instagrammable - the delicate sandwiches, the pretty pastries, and of course, the quintessential pink-toned china. Even my latte was served in a floral cup with a matching saucer. Divine!
A Pink Tutu Through the Metro
The best part of this weekendās adventures was, hands down, taking a journey on the Metro. Of course, every New Yorker knows the subway - itās an experience. The rumble of the trains, the diverse crowds of people going about their lives, and the rhythmic hum of the carriages. It was like dancing with the city itself, only with a lot moreā¦ erā¦ āaromaā! But hey, donāt let me tell you itās not exciting, darlings! Being surrounded by all of those different stories and destinies, all headed in the same direction, it was simply captivating! And I may have just let a little bit of twirling loose ā canāt help it, my darling!
This week has been a pure delight! But the weekend is just around the corner ā and that means even more excitement. I canāt wait to discover all the little nooks and crannies of this wondrous city ā so keep an eye on the blog for all the news from Pink Tutu NYC.
Keep Twirling! Emma
