Hello, my lovely ballet bunnies! It’s your favourite tutu-toting, pink-loving, pirouette-practicing Emma, coming to you live from sunny (well, kinda) Wood Green. This little London adventure was all about tutu-tastic explorations, and believe me, it was a whirl!
As usual, I embraced my inner fairy godmother and took the train down to London, a journey always made more enchanting by the window scenery - this time, it was lush green fields, like something out of a ballet set. But even with all the beautiful sights and sounds, all I could think about was the magnificent pink tutu waiting for me at my destination.
Let's be honest, you all know my weakness is a good tulle number! I’m all about those romantic, twirling, oh-so-feminine tutus that make every step feel like a graceful waltz. But, you know me, always on the hunt for a bargain! So I decided to ditch the pricier designer tutu for a more budget-friendly find. My search took me to the most amazing little costume shop nestled in the heart of Wood Green. It felt like stepping back in time, with a dusty old counter overflowing with sparkling costumes, velvet fabrics, and sequins galore.
And the tutu? Oh, it was a vision! Not a pristine white like the grand ballerinas wear, but a soft, ethereal blush pink that shimmered with every movement. It’s a little bit vintage, a little bit bohemian, and definitely a statement piece. And best of all? It came with a matching pink feather boa for that extra touch of glam!
Armed with my new tutu and a heart overflowing with pink-hued joy, I embarked on the ultimate ballet-inspired exploration of Wood Green. My first stop? The breathtaking Alexandra Palace, of course! It was a true architectural wonder, with all those grand halls and ornate features - you can practically see the ballerinas gracefully waltzing down those wide staircases.
After the grand elegance of the palace, I took a wander down the streets of Wood Green. And let me tell you, you wouldn’t believe the people watching I did. It was like watching a street ballet unfold before me - the hurried strides of city workers, the gentle movements of older folks taking a stroll, even the children playing in the parks seemed like a graceful, unplanned choreographed sequence. There's ballet in everything, you know, if you just look closely enough.
And you know I can’t leave London without experiencing some proper ballet! I was lucky enough to get tickets for a performance at the beautiful Sadler’s Wells theatre. It was absolutely stunning. The energy was palpable, the stories in the dance were so vivid, and the dancers were phenomenal. But even the best dancers in the world couldn't hold a candle to my own twirling adventures on the way home - you can bet that feather boa got its fair share of flaunting!
Turning the World Pink, One Tutu at a Time
Speaking of twirling, you guys know I’m all about spreading the love of ballet. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned dancer or just a curious newbie, there's something so incredibly powerful and beautiful about this art form. And one way I'm doing that? Well, naturally, I’m urging everyone to embrace their inner ballerina and rock a tutu!
And what better way to do that than with my very own design challenge? Think pink, think fluffy, think ballet fantasy! I’m talking everything from feather-covered tutu masterpieces to glitz-and-glam creations for every occasion. Head on over to my blog and show off your very best tutus!

My Little Pink World: More Than Just Ballet
Now, I’m a woman of many passions, and it’s not just ballet that lights my fire. I’ve always been captivated by the beauty of wildlife. My last journey involved an enchanting horseback ride through the stunning Derbyshire countryside. Cantering through rolling fields, surrounded by the graceful dance of horses, made me feel as though I’d stepped straight into a painting.
That's the thing about life, you know? It's an endless series of beautiful moments waiting to be discovered, and sometimes all it takes is a touch of pink, a little bit of grace, and a whole lot of twirling!
*Join me for my next adventure! Catch me tomorrow on www.pink-tutu.com, as I'll be revealing my *totally unique idea for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary using... you guessed it... a pink tutu! **
Until then, keep twirling!
Lots of love,
Emma xx
