Hello, lovelies! Welcome back to another installment of #PinkTutuBlogNYC. This week, I'm bouncing around the Big Apple like a pink-tutu'd hummingbird on a sugar rush.
New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!
I always feel a little bit like I've landed in a dream when I'm in New York City. It's a kaleidoscope of lights, noise, smells and, most importantly, style. This week's adventures are all about embracing the vibrant energy of this amazing metropolis.
Week 673: A whirlwind of tutu-fied goodness
This past week was filled with magical moments. On Tuesday, I sashayed into the Metropolitan Opera House to witness a stunning performance of "Swan Lake". The costumes were exquisite, the choreography was breathtaking, and the whole experience left me feeling like a delicate porcelain ballerina myself. (Minus the actual porcelain part, of course - I wouldn't want to shatter!)
My dear friends, the energy in this city is electric, even for a ballet fanatic like myself. It truly inspires me! It makes me want to pirouette through the streets, gracefully weaving between tourists and taxis, with a cloud of tulle trailing behind me. I feel it's my duty, you see, to spread the pink-tutu love wherever I go.
On Wednesday, I embraced my inner Carrie Bradshaw and went on a serious shoe shopping spree at Bergdorf Goodman. Honestly, how could you not? It's a haven for fashionable footwear. The display windows were a veritable ballet of textures, colours and shapes – an absolute feast for the eyes. While I managed to resist the allure of those $1,500 stilettos, I did snag a pair of pink ballet flats. (Because a girl's gotta keep her toes pretty, even on concrete, right?)
My New York City Wardrobe
Speaking of toes, this week's wardrobe has been a study in chicness and comfort. Imagine: ballet flats with a tutu? Absolutely. My go-to look has been a bright pink ballerina skirt paired with my comfy flats and a loose, floral-patterned top. It's airy and effortless, perfect for strolling through Central Park and grabbing a delicious slice of pizza. Oh, and let's not forget the essential accessory: a chic pink handbag filled with essentials for a ballerina on the go – lip balm, travel tissues, and a spare pair of ballet slippers for spontaneous performance opportunities, of course!
Thursday, my dearest friends, was an absolute highlight. I finally got to see The Lion King on Broadway! It was simply phenomenal! I gasped, I cheered, I cried. And my fellow audience members? Let's just say I may have inspired a few people to consider pink tutus for the theatre – mission accomplished! The costuming was just brilliant, and the puppetry was mind-blowingly impressive. After all, every show needs a touch of magic, don't you think?
The end of my week was filled with exploration and, of course, dancing. Friday saw me strolling through the cobblestone streets of Greenwich Village, stopping for an impromptu street performance at Washington Square Park. My friends, I simply had to channel my inner street artist – it's the heart of New York City's creativity, and who can resist the allure of the open mic?
Saturday morning, I woke up to a blissful sunrise over the Manhattan skyline. I savored the views while sipping my coffee and enjoying a peaceful breakfast on the balcony of my apartment. What a perfect way to start the day! This weekend also saw a fun dance workshop. We worked on some impressive choreography!
Saturday evening brought us to a vibrant little French cafe called "Le Petit Fleur." The ambiance was enchanting. As I sipped my rose-infused champagne (what else!), I felt a profound sense of contentment, a gentle calm amid the vibrant city bustle. It's a feeling I always cherish in New York – the moments where the chaos slows down for a second and lets you simply soak in the beauty of your surroundings.
And of course, no trip to New York would be complete without a little bit of* shopping therapy.* So, Sunday was dedicated to exploring the many unique boutiques of Soho. From trendy clothing stores to charming antique shops, it was a day for discovering hidden treasures and indulging in retail delights. And what would a shopping spree be without a celebratory pink smoothie?
As my week comes to a close, I feel a twinge of sadness as I pack my suitcase, filled with the colourful memories of my time here. It's always hard to say goodbye to this vibrant and exciting city, but I know that the #PinkTutuBlogNYC adventures will continue!
What’s on in New York this week
