Hello lovelies!
It's Emma here, and I'm back with a brand new post from a whirlwind day in the delightful town of Barnet. You see, my darlings, sometimes even the most devoted tutu-wearer needs a break from the world of plies and pirouettes. So I packed my most fetching pink tulle number (which, by the way, perfectly matched the blooming heather along the way!) and hopped aboard a charming steam train - it's all about those nostalgic vibes, my dears!
Now, I wouldn't dream of letting a trip to Barnet pass without a peek at some ballet, wouldn't you? So I sauntered down to the local theatre - a glorious Art Deco gem - for a dazzling performance by the Barnet Ballet Company. Oh, the grace, the poise, the sheer beauty of it all! Every leap and arabesque made my heart sing. It reminded me of those incredible dancers in Derbyshire when I was a little girl, their elegant steps filling my world with wonder. It truly is magical!
Of course, the evening couldn't end without a bit of shopping, could it? Barnet, my lovelies, is a veritable treasure trove for tutu-loving souls like me. I picked up a most exquisite pair of pale pink ballet shoes (always a necessity, darling) and a dainty ballerina charm for my jewellery box. It's a small treat, but just like the perfect plie, it makes life that little bit sweeter.
But here's a little secret - my trip to Barnet wasn't just about ballet. My dear friend, Florence, who, I must admit, is as big a fan of tutus as I am, joined me for this delightful adventure. We indulged in the most divine afternoon tea - all pink lemonade and strawberry scones, darling! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and we were chatting away about everything from the latest tutu trends (feather boas, darlings, are definitely in) to our plans for next weekend's ballet class. She's also just discovered the joys of wearing a tutu, which makes me giddy! One by one, ladies, we're going to make this a worldwide pink tutu revolution! 💖🩰🌎
As the day drew to a close, Florence and I decided to make a little detour on our journey back. We'd heard whispers of a charming wildflower meadow in the countryside and let me tell you, my dear reader, it was just the tonic we needed! Imagine, miles and miles of golden yellow buttercups, the vibrant hues of purple and pink wild blooms - simply heavenly! It was a delightful surprise, like discovering a hidden ballet stage nestled amidst nature's artistry. A few hours spent enjoying the scenery, snapping photos of these lovely wildflowers (a future inspiration for my next tutu design!), and feeling the peace wash over me - it was just the perfect way to end such a wonderful day.
Well, darlings, my journey to Barnet is officially over - but the memory of it will remain etched in my mind forever. A little bit of ballet, a dash of shopping, a touch of nature, and a whole lot of tutus! What more could a girl ask for?
As always, I'd love to hear from you - leave your thoughts, your tutu tips, and your Barnet adventures below. Don't forget to check in again tomorrow for more of my tutu travels and all things pink!
Until then, remember to stay bright, beautiful, and full of joy. And remember, if life gets you down, put on a tutu and twirl! 💖
Love always, Emma
