Hello my darling tutu-lovers! It’s your girl Emma here, back with another post straight from my heart, and trust me, it's a pink one today! I'm currently nestled in the lovely, leafy suburb of Surbiton, a stone’s throw from London. Now, if you've been following me for a while, you'll know my motto: Where there's a tutu, there's magic. And boy, does Surbiton deliver!
The train journey down from my little corner of Derbyshire was a treat, my fluffy pink scarf battling with the crisp autumn wind. I feel my most powerful when I’m travelling on the train. Just me, a good book, and my trusty, travel-size makeup bag. Don't judge me - I can’t even begin to tell you how essential a good highlighter is for keeping that inner ballerina sparkle shining on long journeys!
The day was already off to a glamorous start. Not only did I encounter a perfectly plump squirrel in the park on my walk from the station – my inner nature-lover was screaming with joy – but I also stumbled across this gorgeous little boutique in a cobbled corner. It's called "Tutus and Tiaras" – need I say more? It’s my kind of place. They even have a whole corner dedicated to sparkly shoes! I mean, what more could a girl ask for?
So of course, I emerged with the most divine tulle creation you ever did see. I couldn't resist – it was a delicate shade of pastel pink, layered with delicate silver beads and a stunning feathered trim. It was destined to be mine, my latest Tutu treasure, the one that whispers, "This is for all the ballerina dreams!".
This beautiful new addition had me swirling through the charming cobblestone streets, the wind lifting the skirt of my new tutu like it was twirling along with me. I couldn't resist doing a little twirl, letting the light catch the sequins. I felt so carefree, like the happiest ballerina in the whole world! Surbiton had me mesmerized; I even took a moment to sit on a bench by the river, reflecting on how far my tutu journey had taken me. Remember my Derbyshire roots? From village halls to the bustling streets of London! It was this little dance, a waltz, I reckon, that made me feel truly alive.
But the real highlight of the day was a stunning ballet performance in the local theatre, the grand old dame of the neighbourhood. I went in feeling so full of excitement and anticipation. It was a new production by a young company – modern choreography, intricate costumes and a captivating story! The kind that leaves you mesmerized, filled with emotion and then leaves you wanting more, you know? And yes, my new Tutu was proudly on show. Let’s be honest, it was the only fitting accompaniment to this exquisite ballet experience!
And let me tell you, seeing all those beautiful, strong, talented ballerinas in action just reaffirms my belief that anyone can wear a tutu. There's no limit, darling. No matter what size, shape, or colour you are, your unique spirit shines through. You have that magical inner ballerina inside you, and it’s time for you to embrace her, just as I have embraced the magic of pink tutus!
So tell me, lovelies, what did you get up to today? Did you discover a new coffee shop, indulge in some chocolate-covered strawberries, or maybe just steal a few quiet moments to appreciate the little things? And did you think of pink? Because that’s the magic – the secret, you could say – to making the most of every day, every moment. Let your heart wear pink. Let your soul be bold and beautiful!
Stay sparkly, stay true, and keep dancing those dreams, darling! And be sure to pop over to www.pink-tutu.com every day for a new dose of inspiration!
Yours always,
Emma xx
