Hello my darling dears! It's Emma here, your resident tutu-clad traveller and all-around pink enthusiast. Today I'm bursting with excitement to share my latest escapade from the magical land of New Zealand!
I arrived in Wellington last week, after a rather charming journey aboard the Interislander ferry. It felt so quintessentially Kiwi - the crisp sea air, the seagulls swooping overhead, and of course, the ever-present sight of stunning landscapes. I just can't resist the beauty of this country!
And let me tell you, my fellow tutu enthusiasts, Wellington did not disappoint. This vibrant city truly lived up to its nickname "Windy Wellington". I might have found myself sporting my chicest fedora on more than one occasion - and let's be honest, a girl can never have too many hats, right?
Now, the true reason for my trip? A breathtaking performance at the New Zealand Opera. They were performing the classic, The Magic Flute, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. The costumes were dazzling, the voices were heavenly, and the story... well, it's Mozart, what more do I need to say? I'm still buzzing about the beautiful melodies that resonated throughout the theatre!
But, before I regale you all with the splendours of the show, I simply must share the exquisite fashion adventure I embarked on, because this journey was, as always, fuelled by the pinkest and most stylish of tutus!
Food for the soul, fashion for the eyes!
This time, my dearest readers, my tutu was inspired by all things delicious. I crafted a masterpiece with layers of tulle, each layer showcasing a different delectable treat. Think swirls of pastel pink to represent cotton candy, sprinkles of silver to resemble sugar crystals, and, of course, a generous dose of sequins, like little sparkling bonbons!
To match my food-themed tutu, I opted for a pale pink cashmere sweater - a perfect blend of comfort and elegance - and my trusty black ballet flats. I wanted to stay light and airy, a reflection of my delight at the culinary discoveries awaiting me in Wellington.
The city truly surprised me with its food scene! I'm talking about gourmet bakeries, mouthwatering cafes, and fresh, vibrant produce at every corner. As a lover of all things culinary, this was like a dream come true! I spent hours indulging in delicious pastries, steaming hot chocolate, and fresh local fruit - all while sporting my very own "Food-tastic Tutu."
Tutu on the town, adventure on the agenda!
I had to embrace the adventurous side of Wellington. So, what did a tutu-clad ballerina do? She visited Zealandia, a unique wildlife sanctuary right in the city! Seeing the native birds of New Zealand in their natural habitat, amongst lush ferns and ancient trees, was truly remarkable.
And, I couldn't leave Wellington without exploring the vibrant street art that adorns the city. From murals that told stories of history to whimsical creations that filled the alleyways with colour, it was a treat for the eyes and a testament to the artistic spirit of this wonderful city.
My tutu, my home, my style.
Wellington, you stole my heart. From the beautiful art and theatre, to the captivating wildlife and, of course, the delightful food - I truly savoured every moment. As always, my tutu was my constant companion, adding a dash of whimsy and wonder to every experience.
So, dear readers, have you had any recent adventures with your own unique tutu styles? Tell me everything! Share your fashion inspiration, your tutu-clad escapades, and all the things that bring a little bit of pink joy to your lives. Remember, a pink tutu is not just a garment, it's an attitude, a way of life!
Until next time, my lovely tutu tribe! Stay sparkly and fabulous!
With love and pink, Emma www.pink-tutu.com
