#PinkTutuBlogNYC Monday 2022-06-20 she danced in New York City

Hello, my dearest tutu-loving friends! Emma here, back from another whirlwind week in the magical metropolis that is New York City!

As you all know, I'm a girl who believes life is too short for boring outfits, and this city never fails to inspire my love affair with colour and style. This week, I embraced all that New York has to offer: a sensational ballet show, a divine dress-shopping spree, a dazzling display of fashion, and a joyous exploration of the city on the subway. Let me take you on a journey through the past few days, packed with pink and plenty of pirouettes!

My week kicked off with a symphony of elegance and grace at the Metropolitan Opera House. You know how much I adore the magic of ballet, and to be immersed in the beauty of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" was simply divine! I felt a thrill as the dancers effortlessly glided across the stage, each movement a story unfolding before my eyes. Seeing "Swan Lake" in this iconic venue felt like stepping into a fairytale, complete with dazzling costumes, exquisite choreography, and a soundtrack that swept me away. It's no wonder it's a ballet classic - the story, the music, the artistry, it all comes together perfectly.

While I have to admit, my heart secretly yearned for the opportunity to perform myself in a pink tutu onstage. But who knows, maybe one day... after all, dreams can come true!

Of course, before stepping into the majestic Metropolitan Opera House, a girl needs to dress the part! This is New York, where fashion is a form of art, and I couldn't resist embracing the opportunity to put together the perfect pink-infused ensemble for the evening.

My shopping expedition began at Bergdorf Goodman - the sheer abundance of gorgeous frocks left me giddy with delight! I was determined to find the perfect piece for "Swan Lake" night, and after much deliberation, my heart settled on a blush pink gown. The delicate lace and the flowy fabric were simply enchanting! It whispered elegance and whispered "tutu" all at the same time, a dream come true for this ballerina blogger.

I couldn't resist a final stop at Bloomingdale's for some accessories, choosing a pair of dainty, pink ballet flats and a statement clutch with shimmering sequins. As the finishing touch, I wrapped a blush-toned silk scarf around my neck - perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to my outfit.

Ready for a night at the ballet? I definitely was!

No trip to New York is complete without a ballet class! My routine wouldn't be the same without that chance to hone my skills, and what better way to do it than at the world-famous School of American Ballet? It was a day of pure joy as I stretched and twirled alongside passionate dancers from around the globe. Their dedication and enthusiasm were infectious, and I felt incredibly lucky to be a part of that energy.

Of course, I wouldn't be me if I didn't sprinkle some pink magic into my ballet routine! I popped on a cute, sequined ballet top in my favourite shade of pink, along with my trusty tutu. Even at ballet class, it's all about adding a touch of your personal style, right?

And after an energetic class, there's nothing quite like a spot of retail therapy! I headed to the fabulous boutiques on Fifth Avenue, my eye searching for treasures to add to my wardrobe. I couldn't leave without picking up a delicate pink lace top for my next performance, and a silk scarf in a bolder fuchsia shade that’s going to be a must-have for a special summer evening in the city.

New York is a city of exploration, and this week I found myself embracing the subway's fast-paced, energising rhythm. It's an amazing way to zip through the city, taking in the sights and sounds of New York at its most vibrant. The rumble of the tracks, the diverse mix of faces, the flashing lights - it's a symphony of urban life, and it adds to the city's irresistible charm.

As I explored the different neighborhoods, each with its unique personality, I couldn't resist taking some pictures for my blog! From the iconic skyscrapers to the hidden street art, New York's beauty lies in its contrast, and my camera captured it all.

Oh, the joy of Broadway! Nothing can beat the excitement of a dazzling live performance. This time, I treated myself to a night at the Minskoff Theatre to see Disney’s “The Lion King”. I can't tell you how breathtaking this show was – the costumes, the choreography, the music!

From the first scene to the final curtain call, I was utterly captivated. “The Lion King” tells such a powerful story of love, loss, and triumph, with a heart that melts even the most hardened soul. Seeing it live, with every song, every step, resonating with passion, is something that stays with you long after the final curtain has closed.

You know, I often wonder what it would be like to step onto a Broadway stage and perform in a dazzling pink tutu. I have to admit, I’ve been practicing my best Simba roar!

The days are flying by in this vibrant city, and every day feels like a chance for a new adventure. But as I head back to my temporary little flat, I can’t help but smile at the memories of another fabulous week in New York City.

And I always say, when life throws you lemons, make pink lemonade!

Catch you next Monday for more pink-tutu-filled adventures in New York City. Until then, don't forget to keep the pink alive!
