Hello my darlings, and welcome back to another Monday adventure with your favourite tutu-clad traveller! Today's post is straight from the heart of New York City, a city that truly never sleeps. As you all know, I, Emma, am a firm believer in embracing every ounce of sparkle life has to offer, and New York City is positively brimming with it!
This week, I’ve been living it up in the Big Apple, with a schedule jam-packed with ballet brilliance, delightful shopping escapades, and some truly remarkable experiences. As I’m sure you’ve gathered from my blog title, I'm all about the pink tutu life – so trust me when I say that the city embraced my tutu-ed explorations with open arms.
It’s November now, and that chilly autumn air makes for the most exquisite evenings. Stepping out of the warmth of my little apartment into the crisp New York air is like a scene from a fairytale. Imagine: sparkling shop windows, the gentle hum of the city that never sleeps, and the crisp crunch of leaves under my tutu-clad feet!
Now, as you all know, a girl’s gotta stay true to her roots. And my roots, dear readers, are firmly planted in Derbyshire, England. So it’s with great delight that I can share that the ballet world has been exceptionally generous this week, allowing me to fund my NYC escapades through several stellar performances. This week’s highlights were a captivating performance of ‘Giselle’ at the Metropolitan Opera House, where the dancers’ grace and strength truly moved me, and a wonderful contemporary ballet showcase at the Joyce Theatre, leaving me feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
And of course, no trip to New York City would be complete without an exploration of the city's endless fashion avenues! I managed to snaffle some absolutely exquisite pieces - a beautiful floral print dress that perfectly reflects the autumn leaves, a fluffy pink cashmere scarf to keep my neck warm as I explore the city, and a new pair of elegant, sparkly ballet flats that simply beg to be twirled.
Speaking of twirling, my little pink tutu has had a grand time in New York City, swirling and dipping amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. The other day, I found myself spontaneously twirling on the corner of Broadway and 42nd street, feeling the energy of the city and the rhythmic sway of its soundtrack around me. Some people stared, some people chuckled, some even gave a thumbs up – that’s the magic of a tutu, my friends. It brings people together, makes them smile, and encourages a bit of joyful whimsy in the day.
Now, you’re all curious about this date, November 21st, 2005, aren’t you? Well, this Tuesday (that’s right, Tuesday, because New York works on its own magical time zone), I'm finally seeing 'The Phantom of the Opera'. This iconic show has always captivated my imagination. Imagine: grand opera, shadowy figures, love stories that transcend life and death. My heart is aflutter with excitement, and I just know my pink tutu will be perfect for the occasion.
Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing all the details with you next week! In the meantime, please join me on www.pink-tutu.com and delve deeper into my world of sparkly pink tutus, endless ballet inspiration, and fashion that sparks joy! You know my motto: Let's turn the world pink, one tutu at a time!
Stay stylish, my dears!
XOXO
