Hello my gorgeous tutu-loving lovelies! It’s your girl, Emma, back from a whirlwind day in the heart of Wiltshire, the stunning city of Salisbury! Now, I know what you’re thinking: Emma, isn’t that a bit of a trek from Derbyshire? And you’re right, it was! But, wouldn’t you know it, there was no better way to travel than by train! I love a good old fashioned train journey, it's the perfect chance to people-watch, sip a cuppa (and a little bit of pink prosecco - it's my special day out treat!), and admire the beautiful British countryside whizzing past.
Speaking of whizzing, this city had me spinning! I mean, it’s a beauty, it really is. The cobbled streets, the majestic Salisbury Cathedral soaring into the heavens, the vibrant marketplace… and of course, my main draw: The Salisbury Playhouse!
Let me tell you, this isn't your typical stuffy theatre. It's a quirky, independent haven for the arts. It's brimming with life and that’s precisely what drew me to their production of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". It was truly whimsical, full of clever twists and turns and oh-so-much pink, of course! I felt like a little girl again, mesmerised by the costumes and the storybook world.
After the show, I decided to wander the city, feeling all inspired by those graceful dancers. I had a delicious dinner at a quaint Italian cafe that had the best homemade pasta ever (I’m going to need to recreate this at home, stat!). The highlight, though? Well, I had to visit the majestic Salisbury Cathedral, didn't I?
Oh, darling, let me tell you, it was breathtaking! Stepping inside, you are enveloped by a sense of awe, and that stunning, centuries-old stained glass – pure magic! It was the perfect end to a day filled with artistic wonders.
Now, you may be thinking: Emma, all this sounds wonderfully fabulous but how did your pink tutu fit into the equation? After all, isn't it an essential part of your day-to-day adventures? * Well, how could I have gone to Salisbury and *not wear my brand new "Swirl of Delight" tutu, I ask you! I couldn’t! It's made from the most beautiful, airy pink tulle, and it truly twirled effortlessly. It was absolutely the right choice for such a charming city.
Actually, on that note… Have you seen my latest tutu collection at pink-tutu.com?! It's been updated with all the latest designs and we even have a gorgeous line inspired by the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland show (because who doesn’t love a bit of Mad Hatter flair?)! And, for the tutu-loving souls who live a life of ballet class, I have just received my shipment of “Dancers Dream" tutus… oh, you need them, you really do.
Speaking of dreaming... Isn’t ballet class truly the most beautiful, graceful and magical activity you can do? It makes you feel like a princess in a magical kingdom – except instead of riding unicorns, we glide around on the pointe shoes! It's amazing what a few minutes in the dance studio can do to uplift your mood and just make you feel amazing. Which brings me to my mission - I believe we should all dance, even if just in our kitchens, at the bus stop or even in our offices!
Why don't we spread a little pink magic today, darling? If you see someone who needs a little sparkle in their lives, take a minute to say something nice or share a silly dance with them. A smile can be the most wonderful gift! Don’t be afraid to embrace the pink-tutu spirit!
As for me, I'm already planning my next big ballet escapade… and you bet it will be tutu-fully amazing!
Until then, my darlings!
Yours in twirls and twirls and more twirls,
Emma x
