Hey everyone! It's Emma here, back from the bustling streets of New York City with another fabulous blog post, just for you. You know I've been over here for a couple of weeks now, soaking up the energy of the city that never sleeps. And let me tell you, I'm absolutely smitten. The sheer volume of fashion, the vibrant street art, the delicious smells coming from every corner – New York truly is a dream come true for a tutu-loving, dance-obsessed gal like myself.
But first, I need to spill the tea. Last week, I got to witness a true ballet spectacle, a show so exquisite it nearly brought tears to my eyes. The American Ballet Theatre at the Metropolitan Opera House was absolutely divine. The dancers were so graceful, their movements so fluid, the costumes were simply stunning… I honestly felt like I'd been transported to a fairytale. You know, it's funny. Growing up in Derbyshire, England, I always dreamt of dancing in a big city like New York. The excitement of being here, watching these incredible performers, is a dream come true.
Now, who here loves the subway? I'm going to be honest, the New York metro is an absolute marvel! Don't get me wrong, it can get a little chaotic sometimes, with hordes of people all rushing to catch the next train. But hey, that's all part of the New York charm! For me, the subway is the ultimate way to explore this city. The sense of anonymity, the buzz of energy, the window to the local life – it's all just utterly fascinating. And trust me, a tutu gets you noticed! The looks I've been getting are worth more than any souvenir I could buy.
Of course, I wouldn't be a true Pink Tutu blogger without exploring the fabulous fashion scene. This city is a wonderland for anyone who loves shopping and finding those perfect pieces to complete their wardrobe. Now, while I am quite partial to a sparkly pink dress, I've been really enjoying delving into the New York vibe and embracing more of a streetwear aesthetic, and trust me, there are some truly unique pieces in this city! Just last week, I found the cutest little shop in SoHo and came away with a leather bomber jacket. The leather is so soft and it fits perfectly with my tutu. See, I'm all about combining different styles!
You know, I’ve found something amazing in the bustling heart of New York. Not only is the city vibrant, exciting, and full of opportunity, it's a place where you can express yourself, where anything goes. The streets are a runway, every individual is a performer, and that’s exactly why I feel right at home here. New York City is the kind of place where wearing a pink tutu just feels natural, like it belongs.
Now, to answer your burning question – What did I wear this week in NYC? You know I love my tutu. This week, I opted for a simple but striking outfit – a vintage, blush pink tulle tutu (my all-time favourite!) paired with a sleek black leotard. It’s all about the contrasts. I love that it’s classic ballet inspired yet still trendy enough to blend in with the city crowd. The best part is, I can go from subway adventures to grabbing brunch at the chicest cafes with the same outfit!
Speaking of food, this is my favorite part: finding hidden gems in the city that never sleeps. Now, every Monday, I treat myself to a well-deserved indulgence – the most glorious, buttery, cheesy, bacon-studded pastry in a café downtown. Just imagine, a buttery pastry so delectable that every single bite makes you sigh with happiness! I mean, there's something magical about exploring hidden corners of New York, uncovering hidden cafes, and finding those local spots that have all the best treats. And to me, the magic doesn't just come from the food; it’s also the friendly chatter with the locals, learning their favorite spots and local quirks. It's those connections that truly bring the city alive for me.
Now, as you all know, this amazing adventure isn't just a personal journey; it’s also a quest to spread the love for tutus far and wide. I know it might seem a bit outlandish to some, but think about it – what better way to express joy and creativity than wearing a fabulous pink tutu? I want to show everyone, every corner of the globe, how empowering and fun tutus can be. After all, life's too short to wear boring clothes.
But that's it for this week, darlings! I'm already itching to get back to New York and experience more of this vibrant city. I can’t wait to tell you all about it next week, so stay tuned!
Now go forth, my dear readers, and remember: Wear that pink tutu with pride, unleash your inner ballerina, and make the world a more sparkly place. Don’t forget to share your pictures of your tutu adventures on Instagram using #PinkTutuNYC – I'd love to see you all rocking the pink! Until next week, have a wonderfully fashionable, joyful and sparkly week!
XOXO,
Emma
