Hello my darling tutu lovers! It's Emma, back from another whirlwind week in the fabulous city that never sleeps - New York City! I'm writing this with a cup of peppermint tea and a pink macaroon, gazing out of my little pink-walled hotel room (of course!), and feeling incredibly grateful for this crazy, glamorous life.
This week, the city's been twinkling with the magic of the festive season. Lights are strung across every street, carollers are serenading shoppers, and everyone's sporting a cheery grin. I swear, there's something in the air in New York at Christmas time - it's infectious, it's magical, and it's made me feel like a little girl all over again!
And speaking of magic, how about this for a tale of sheer brilliance? Last week I took myself to see a production of The Nutcracker - the original Balanchine version, in all its breathtaking glory! The dancers were stunning, the music soared through the grand auditorium, and I was completely transported to a world of snowflakes, sugar plums, and magic.
As always, I was sporting my trusty pink tutu, naturally, but I added a touch of festive sparkle with some gold sequin tights. There's just something so empowering about dancing in a pink tutu, you know? It's like wearing a symbol of your joy, your confidence, and your own unique brand of magic. That's my ultimate goal, my darlings, to get everyone out there twirling in pink tutus! 💖
And let's face it, a pink tutu is just as at home at the ballet as it is on the streets of New York City! This week I've been strutting around in my pink tutu everywhere from the swanky boutiques on Madison Avenue to the bustling streets of Greenwich Village. It's like having a portable party wherever you go, and honestly, the looks on people's faces are priceless!
Of course, a pink tutu-wearing ballerina just has to shop in NYC. And when it comes to fashion, there's nowhere quite like it! I'm a little bit obsessed with vintage, and stumbled upon this absolutely fabulous shop on Bleecker Street - a real hidden gem full of amazing finds. They had this divine vintage 1950s ballroom gown in a gorgeous dusky rose, which just begged to be paired with a fluffy tulle skirt and a big pink ribbon in my hair. Can you tell I'm starting to get excited for my next ballet performance?! 🤩
But I'm getting ahead of myself. This is a blog post about New York, not just about clothes and dancing. Although, those things are important too, I have to admit. And New York always has something new to discover. I'm not sure where next week will take me, but I'm sure I'll be twirling my way through some adventures, soaking up all the city has to offer.
Remember, darling, wherever you are, in the depths of Derbyshire or the dazzling heights of New York City, you have the power to bring a little sparkle and magic to the world. All you need is a pink tutu and a little bit of courage. And hey, if you're ever in NYC and spot a pink tutu whizzing past, chances are it's me! I'll be the one beaming with happiness and spreading the joy, one pirouette at a time. ✨
Until next week, stay stylish, stay happy, and remember, my dear darlings,
Life is a ballet, and we're all dancers in our own pink tutus! 💖
