Hello darlings! It's Monday, the 15th of February, and Emma's back in the city that never sleeps - New York! 🗽 I've arrived in style, naturally, sporting a fluffy, candy floss pink tutu that would make even the most jaded New Yorker smile. (Actually, I don't think anything could jaded a true New Yorker! 😜)
It feels so good to be back! It’s amazing how a city can have so much energy and excitement, it makes my heart beat faster just walking around! As I arrived at the station, a familiar warmth washed over me. The subway, that glorious labyrinth of steel and whispers, always feels like a second home. This week I'm here for a flurry of ballet shows, some truly exciting shopping adventures (more about that later, darlings!) and a sprinkle of that classic New York City magic.
Of course, a girl can't arrive in NYC without her trusty pink tutu! This one is a special number, a beautiful, delicate fabric that feels like a cloud against my skin. It’s adorned with glittering silver stars, making it the perfect accessory for navigating the glittering streets of New York. 💖
A Ballet Blitz!
My week is kicking off with a whirlwind of ballet brilliance! Tonight, I'm catching the stunning "Swan Lake" at the New York City Ballet, a company I've been eager to see for years. The graceful dancers, the soaring music, and the spectacle of it all – just imagining it makes my heart soar. This city has a long and rich history with ballet, and the New York City Ballet are known for their dedication to both traditional and contemporary performances. It's an absolute privilege to be experiencing them!
Tomorrow, I'll be trying a drop-in ballet class at a beautiful studio in the Village. You know how I feel about getting that daily dose of pirouettes and tendus, especially in such a vibrant dance-loving city like New York! It's just going to be another step in my never-ending journey to become a fabulous ballerina, no matter where life takes me.
Pink Tutu Adventures in Fashionland
Every trip to New York wouldn't be complete without a fashion expedition! Oh, the sheer volume of fabulous fashion is almost overwhelming! You can literally find everything in New York, which is frankly dangerous for someone like me who is a dedicated follower of fashion! 😉
First on my list, is to venture into the legendary boutiques on Fifth Avenue, for the ultimate shopping spree! Then I'm planning to discover the independent, eclectic, and absolutely stylish stores hidden amongst the bustling streets of SoHo and Tribeca. There's something so exciting about discovering a hidden gem in a sea of pink. Just imagining it sends me into a happy, excited whirl! 💖
Street Performing
You all know how much I love street performers. I think it's so inspiring how these talented artists share their gifts with the world. And they're absolutely everywhere in New York. During the week, I'm planning to get lost in the crowds at Times Square to watch some amazing street acts – everything from acrobatics to singers, even some incredibly talented musicians. They're like little snippets of theatre and art that you wouldn't see anywhere else. There’s nothing quite like watching someone bring joy and laughter to strangers on the street – truly inspiring!
Pink Tutu Reflections: Bringing the magic to New York!
As I settle into New York City for this magical week, my thoughts keep returning to my purpose. The Pink Tutu mission, darlings! That's to make the world a bit brighter, one twirling, glittery tutu at a time. It might seem silly to some, but for me, it's all about expressing joy, spreading a bit of whimsy and making people smile!
I believe there's a bit of magic in every pink tutu. Every one a statement of colour, freedom and happiness. This city, full of individuality and spirit, is the perfect place to share this message. Perhaps one day, I'll see New York’s bustling streets filled with tutus in every shade imaginable. Wouldn't that be a spectacular sight? Imagine it! 🌈
So, darlings, until next Monday, keep your chin up and never lose that spark in your eye. We can do anything we set our minds to, even make the world a bit brighter and more fabulous with the power of pink! 😉 💖
And now for a little extra dose of pink fun!
Here's a peek at some of my favourite things from my Pink Tutu Blog this week!
- Favourite find: I found a magnificent pink feather boa in a charming little shop in Greenwich Village. Perfect for adding a touch of glamorous extravagance to any outfit!
- Pink inspiration: The famous neon sign outside the iconic Pink Door diner is a dazzling splash of colour! It's reminding me to live life to the fullest!
- Musical delight: I am absolutely obsessed with Hamilton the musical, a must-see while you’re in New York! The powerful music, history, and performances will stay with you for a very long time.
Let’s connect on Instagram and Twitter. And remember, darling, always have a sprinkle of sparkle!
Love and Pink Tutu Magic,
Emma 💖
