Hello my lovely darlings! 🎀 It's Emma here, your favourite tutu-wearing travel blogger, back with post number 1668! And guess what? I'm finally embracing the beauty of the train! Yes, you heard that right, your girl is swapping her trusty steed for the sleek iron horse.
After spending last week prancing around Derbyshire with my beloved chestnut, Chestnut (how perfect is that?!), I've decided to take a little adventure by rail. It's a rather exciting prospect, honestly. Just picture it - the wind whipping through my hair, a vintage carriage with plush velvet seats, and a cheeky glass of bubbly to boot! I'm feeling positively glamorous. 🥂
Today's journey takes me to Streatham, a charming corner of South London that's overflowing with vintage vibes and bohemian charm. And naturally, I couldn't resist sporting my favourite pink tutu! (A vibrant fuchsia this time, with shimmering sequins - simply divine!). My plan for today? To dance my way through the vintage shops, maybe catch a delightful street performance, and maybe even visit the gorgeous Horniman Museum.
Let's face it, Streatham is practically begging to be explored with a playful touch! I'm picturing myself twirling past rows of colourful Victorian terraces, stopping to admire the stunning green spaces (did you know there's a magnificent arboretum?!) Oh, and did I mention the abundance of delightful tea shops?! 🍵
Now, my lovely lovelies, you know me, I'm all about spreading the joy of dance! That's why, I'm encouraging everyone to join me in bringing a touch of tutu-mania to Streatham. I'm talking about the magic of spontaneous street performances - think little twirls and graceful gestures. The city streets are practically an open stage waiting to be brought alive!
Don't be shy! Every day can be a ballet. Embrace the unexpected, the charming, and the vibrant! Let's make Streatham bloom with the beauty of ballet! 🩰
The Tutu-tastic Streatham Trail:A pink tutu lover's guide to navigating this delightful corner of London!
- The vintage boutiques on Streatham High Road: Step back in time! I'm planning on hitting up some of the wonderful vintage shops lining the high street. I have a feeling I might just discover a hidden gem. (Or maybe I'll just spend all my money on vintage brooches!)
- The charming Streatham Common: Escape the hustle and bustle of city life in this sprawling green haven! Take a leisurely stroll, let your mind wander, and appreciate the serenity of nature. Who knows, you might even spot some cute bunnies hopping about! 🐇
- The Horniman Museum and Gardens: Prepare to be dazzled! This beautiful Victorian museum offers something for everyone - cultural exhibits, a nature reserve with stunning animal exhibits, and even a stunning Victorian greenhouse overflowing with exotic plants! The gardens themselves are a must-see for any nature lover. It's truly a breath of fresh air. 🌱
- Catch a spontaneous ballet performance!: This is my favourite part! Who says you need a formal stage for dancing? Embrace the magic of unplanned performance. Think twirls by the train station, little balletic poses at the cafe, even a playful leap in the park! Let's spread the ballet joy! ✨
- Dress for the occasion! Don't be afraid to embrace your inner ballerina! (Of course, a pink tutu is a must! ) I'll be pairing my tutu with a vibrant pink cardigan, some whimsical patterned tights, and my favourite ballet shoes! ✨
- Carry a pink ballet bag!: Pack your ballet necessities - a water bottle, a change of clothes, a little make-up for a touch of magic, and your ballet shoes of course! (Maybe even an emergency hairspray - that's essential for maintaining a fabulous ballerina's hair.)
- Enjoy a delightful afternoon tea! Treat yourself to a spot of elegance and deliciousness! You can find a whole host of cute tea rooms nestled amongst the charm of Streatham High Road. I'll be sipping on Earl Grey and indulging in dainty cakes. (Pink scones, anyone? 😉)
Streatham, I'm coming for you! Prepare to be enchanted by my pink tutu! 💕
Remember, darling, always stay positive, embrace the fun, and wear your pink tutu with pride! 💖 This is your invitation to dance through life!
Until tomorrow, my sweet loves!
Much Love,
Emma 🌸
