Good morning, lovelies! It's Emma here, your resident tutu enthusiast, writing to you from the charming city of Chichester! 🌺 The train journey down from Derbyshire was absolutely divine, just me and the wind whipping through my hair (and a bit of my trusty pink tutu, naturally!) 💨 There's just something about a train journey that makes everything feel a bit more magical, wouldn't you agree? ✨
Now, Chichester...what a treat! The cobbled streets, the charming boutiques bursting with floral prints and pretty pastels (naturally, I had to pick up a few pink-tutu-worthy items!), and a beautiful, historical air...it feels like stepping right out of a storybook. 💖
Speaking of stories... you just won't believe what happened today! I had the most wonderful ballet class at the Chichester Festival Theatre. I'm sure you're thinking "Emma, ballet in a theatre? Surely not?" But trust me, it was brilliant. The space was incredible - all vaulted ceilings and velvet curtains, and the acoustics were just divine. 🎵 And the teacher, oh my goodness, she was just the sweetest, most encouraging lady! She actually complimented my tutu, which totally made my day! 🥰
I decided to try out a new style of leotard today, one with a distinctly European feel – think elegant lines and a chic black colour, paired with a delicate lace overlay. I know, I know...usually I'm all about that pink-tutu vibe, but sometimes you've gotta mix things up a bit, don't you? 💅 I felt like a graceful little Parisian ballerina with my new leotard, but with just enough twinkle to remind everyone of my pink-tutu heart! 💕
Of course, after a stellar ballet class, a trip to Chichester wouldn't be complete without a little sightseeing. And I must say, this town certainly doesn't disappoint! I took a delightful walk along the canals, feeling the breeze whisper through my hair, watching ducks and swans waddle about in the sun. Such beautiful creatures... I mean, imagine being so gracefully elegant in the water! They make me feel inspired to become a little more bird-like myself! 🕊️
I spotted a delightful antique shop brimming with dusty old treasures, a few beautiful floral shops, and a rather fantastic chocolate emporium! I mean, come on, it's Chichester, there has to be good chocolate, right? 🤤
Speaking of fabulous treats...after a rather long afternoon of shopping and admiring the lovely scenery, I thought I deserved a little pick-me-up. And what could be better than an afternoon tea in a quintessentially British tea room? 🫖 I sat down, with my china cup in hand, surrounded by dainty floral prints and vintage lace, and had the most divine scones and teacakes! It was like a scene straight out of my favorite Jane Austen novel! And of course, no tea time is complete without a bit of ballet gossip. Did I mention how fantastic that theatre was?! I've definitely decided I need to incorporate a little more "theatre ballet" into my routine. I wonder if Derbyshire has something similar? 🤔
You know what? I'm absolutely smitten with Chichester. It's like a little gem, nestled away in the English countryside. I have a feeling I'm going to be back here, just waiting to be swept away by the charm, the beauty, and... maybe even a few more ballet classes. 🩰 Maybe this trip even deserves a little ballet piece in my pink tutu blog? I'll have to brainstorm some ideas!
Don't forget to tune in tomorrow, loves! I'll be sharing my fabulous finds from those amazing shops! Oh, and remember - if you ever get a chance, go try ballet. I guarantee you'll love it! It's like a graceful dance with the world, and it will truly change your life! 💕 And who knows, maybe you'll even feel inspired to put on a pink tutu and dance the day away with me! 🩰 💖
Until tomorrow!
Love,
Emma xx
