Hey gorgeous darlings! It's your favourite tutu-clad blogger, Emma, signing in from the bustling heart of London town!
London is such a vibrant and exciting place, you know? The energy is palpable, and there's a kind of magic in the air that's hard to describe. You could literally walk down the street and stumble into a hidden gem, like a quirky vintage shop or a street performer showcasing some dazzling ballet moves (although, I do wish they'd ditch the black leotards and go for something pink!).
I’m in London on a little jaunt – I mean, you can’t be a serious ballerina and not be seen at the Royal Opera House, right? And when you do go, a little splash of colour is absolutely required! So, naturally, I chose to rock my sparkling pink tutu (it wouldn’t be me without a bit of pink!). Let me tell you, this one turned heads - think fluffy pink tutu, glitter accents, a dash of lace, and some very stylish sparkly ballerina shoes. Think the most elegant, sassy version of a fairytale princess! It was absolutely fabulous.
I love getting the chance to soak up all that creative energy that just flows through the theatre. It's inspiring, magical, and a little bit magical. Even the train journey down was magical - nothing like a steam train chugging along, especially with a pink tutu gracing its carriage. Don’t worry, I made sure I got my fellow travellers used to seeing it by making the occasional, elegant pirouette up and down the aisle (always keeping safety in mind, of course!).
Speaking of elegance and magic, did I tell you about my incredible adventure yesterday? Remember my sweet horse, Clementine, whom I brought up from the stable in Derbyshire? Well, we went for a lovely, early morning ride in the park! (She looks absolutely stunning in her pink riding headstall, wouldn't you say?) The sun was just coming up, casting a soft golden glow across the park, and I was completely lost in the moment. Riding a horse, even for just a short time, allows you to reconnect with nature, appreciate the small things, and truly feel the moment.
And oh! Before I forget - how can I forget the cute little wildlife we came across! There were fluffy little squirrels darting about in the trees, cheeky little robins pecking at the grass, and even a mischievous fox slinking about! All these little encounters with nature just serve to remind you to find the magic and the beauty in every day life, even the little things. I wouldn’t swap these experiences for the world!
Now, the rest of the week is packed with ballet! You bet I’ll be popping in and out of a few classes at some of London's most prestigious studios, catching the most captivating performance at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and indulging in the most amazing pink tea party (all tea, cakes, and sparkling conversation about, you guessed it, ballet!) There is truly no better way to spend your day in London than immersed in the world of dance and colour.
I even had a little chat with a lovely woman outside the Royal Opera House the other day - she loved my tutu, of course. It's a bit of a running joke in London these days. She asked if I could teach her a few simple steps. Imagine! Everyone in a pink tutu! That’s my life mission: spreading the joy and beauty of ballet everywhere I go, one tutu at a time!
Don't forget to stay tuned, you beautiful lot! I’ll be back soon with lots more fabulous stories from my little London adventure - and trust me, you don't want to miss my next post about a little fashion collaboration with a very exciting boutique (and no, it’s not about black tutus, although that does sound quite intriguing...).
Until then, keep on dreaming, dancing, and stay pink, my gorgeous friends!
Love,
Emma xo
