Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink-loving tutu enthusiast, Emma, checking in from the charming town of Wrexham, nestled in the heart of Wales. I've swapped my Derbyshire countryside for the rolling Welsh hills, and let me tell you, this little town has got a certain je ne sais quoi.
This is actually my second trip to Wrexham. The first was back in the summer when I stumbled across a charming little boutique selling vintage tutus (how could I resist, right?). This time around, I'm here for a special performance - but more on that later.
The journey was, of course, an adventure in itself. Instead of taking the usual train, I opted for something a little more unconventional: a horseback journey through the Welsh countryside. Honestly, I don't know why I haven't tried it before! The rolling green fields, the gentle breeze, and the calming rhythm of hooves on the earth - it was a true ballet of nature!
And speaking of nature, I couldn't resist taking a little detour to the Erddig Estate, a National Trust gem known for its breathtaking gardens. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of inspiration for my next tutu creation. Imagine, a tutu of blooming roses, swaying gracefully like wildflowers in the summer wind!
Back in Wrexham town, I indulged in a bit of shopping - well, who can resist a pretty vintage teacup at a quaint antique shop, right? The perfect little piece for my tea parties. After all, a ballerina needs to keep those sugar levels up! And my hunt for the perfect tutu has begun!
The reason I'm here in Wrexham, however, is something I've been eagerly anticipating. This weekend, Wrexham’s famous Theatr Clwyd hosts a special production of ‘Giselle’. Oh, I'm absolutely dying to see it! The ethereal story of a young peasant girl and her love for a disguised nobleman, the heartbreaking climax, the hauntingly beautiful music... it's a timeless classic!
I’ve found the most fabulous tutu for the occasion. It’s a pale pink masterpiece, delicately embroidered with silver sequins, the perfect embodiment of jeunesse. Of course, I couldn't resist adding my own touch of pinkness, a splash of blush on my cheeks, a hint of cherry pink in my lip gloss, and a sparkling pink hair clip to match my sparkly tutu!
Oh, the excitement! But, alas, I have to hold back a bit and tell you all about the performance tomorrow, but let’s just say the expectations are high! It’s going to be fabulous!
In the meantime, let’s talk pink! What is your favourite way to wear pink? A vibrant coral dress, a delicate blush top, a cherry pink lip? Do share in the comments below. Let’s make pink a movement!
I’m dreaming of spreading the pink tutu love to the world! And while we're at it, let's get everyone on pointe! It's time to spread some ballerina joy!
Until next time,
Emma xx
