Hello darlings! It's Monday again, and I'm so excited to share another whirlwind week of fabulousness in the Big Apple! I'm absolutely loving my time in New York City - the energy, the vibrancy, and of course, the neverending fashion inspiration! As always, my trusty pink tutu has been by my side, ready to add a touch of magic to every corner of the city.
This week was a kaleidoscope of dance, theatre, and shopping. And I wouldn't have it any other way!
Wednesday, September 1st: The Grace of ABT at Lincoln Center
The highlight of my week was without a doubt, seeing American Ballet Theatre at Lincoln Center. My toes were practically tapping along to the rhythm of the music even before the curtain rose! This company is just extraordinary. The dancers are graceful, elegant, and incredibly powerful. I couldn't help but feel inspired, feeling the urge to twirl and jump myself! After the performance, I couldn't resist venturing into the theatre's gift shop. I found a gorgeous, bright pink ballerina-themed tote bag, the perfect companion for all my New York adventures!
Thursday, September 2nd: Broadway Bound and A Pink Tutu Delight!
Thursday was all about the magic of Broadway. I snagged a last-minute ticket to see a hilarious musical called The Book of Mormon. I spent the whole day in anticipation. I decided to wear a sparkling, coral pink tutu - a touch of sparkle in the bustling streets. The play was hilarious! The laughter in the theatre was infectious, leaving me with a giddy, bubbly feeling all evening.
Friday, September 3rd: Fashionistas and Flea Markets
I knew Friday had to be dedicated to some serious retail therapy. A good friend, let's just call her Miss Lily, had suggested I check out Chelsea Market. I discovered a whole world of treasures! From vintage clothing to artisanal cheese, there was something to spark every fancy. It felt a little bit like a New York fashion fair - a smorgasbord of trends and treasures. I emerged triumphant, with a vintage silk scarf and a pair of gorgeous ruby red earrings. What would a fashionable trip to New York City be without a little treasure hunting, after all?
Saturday, September 4th: The City That Never Sleeps... And Neither Do I
Saturday was a whirlwind of experiences. A hearty English breakfast at a little café with its own resident pigeon called Penelope, an exhilarating afternoon at Central Park, taking a carriage ride, feeding the ducks, followed by a delightful ballet performance by some incredible street dancers on 5th Avenue. They really know how to spin, leap and pirouette, their steps effortlessly gliding across the concrete!
Sunday, September 5th: A Touch of Soul, A Touch of Home
The magic of New York never ceases to amaze me! Sunday took me on a different adventure, a little more low-key than usual. I decided to visit a museum dedicated to the soul of Harlem, where I spent the afternoon lost in a world of jazz, rhythm, and history. There was a touch of nostalgia for home in the musical vibes, bringing back memories of my Derbyshire roots and my time at the Peak District School of Dance. That evening, I found myself back in my cozy little flat, settling in with a cup of chamomile tea, and catching up with my mum back in Derbyshire via Skype.
A Week Of Whimsy and Wonderful Memories!
As I settle in to write this week's blog, I am reminded that the greatest luxury isn't finding the perfect handbag or indulging in an extravagant meal; it's the little things that fill life with colour and meaning. Like sharing a heartfelt moment with family across continents or getting lost in the rhythms of a city that thrives on its soul, energy, and its dance! New York City never ceases to inspire, pushing my creative boundaries, and igniting the dreams within my pink tutu-clad heart!
As always, darling readers, remember, a pink tutu has a special magic. It's a symbol of whimsy, a reminder that life is about finding beauty in every moment. Until next Monday, go forth and embrace the vibrant colours of life, one twirl at a time!
Love always,
