Helloooo my gorgeous little dancers!
It's Emma here, back from a whirlwind trip to London's grandest city! Yes, darling, it's none other than Westminster, a place that's buzzing with history and beauty, much like a ballerina twirling across a stage. I always love a bit of London, but this time felt especially magical, possibly because of my choice of outfit!
Think: A symphony of sunshine and style. That's what I brought to Westminster, dear readers. My new tutu is a vision! It's the most glorious shade of lemon, a touch of spring sunshine that makes me practically glow. And you just know, a vibrant tutu needs a worthy companion. That's where my new, super chic, fuchsia handbag comes in, a statement piece with enough personality to compete with the Houses of Parliament themselves! I even sported my new ballet flats – a pair of beautiful pale pink shoes that make my feet feel like I’m floating!
The first thing we did, naturally, was head to a ballet performance! It was just so inspiring seeing those beautiful ballerinas grace the stage! Their skill is unbelievable - so elegant and effortless. It made me want to just whirl and twirl my own tutu and make everyone happy. They even had some lovely wildlife scenes, so beautifully choreographed that I thought they were using real animals! Of course, I felt a pang of sadness thinking of those graceful animals cooped up behind the stage curtains, so I quickly put myself back in the mind of the choreography and forgot all about it.
After the ballet, we explored the grandeur of the Palace of Westminster. My friend Chloe (you know, the one who convinced me to try out for the West End play!) was just as in awe as me. Imagine! Those glorious rooms with their towering ceilings and all that rich history – it was like a dream. We did lots of spinning, of course, especially around Big Ben, to see how fast our tutus would spin. Luckily they held up beautifully - they are, after all, tutus made by some of the most famous dressmakers in London! Of course, we even stopped for a few photos in our beautiful pink tutu attire in front of the palace gardens, they were absolutely divine. A lovely little treat in amongst the urban landscape!
Next, a horse and carriage journey was simply the perfect way to unwind! As our handsome horse pulled us through the bustling streets, I could hardly help myself from raising my skirt to wave to all the passerby! It was like we were characters in a fairytale - though a bit more glamorous and chic than most!
That night, a ballet class felt just right! A touch of routine and an excuse to let loose with my favorite exercise. Even better than normal, as I was able to try some new moves and combinations I saw in the performance earlier in the day. Ballet is simply life-enhancing.
*What more can I say? This trip was absolute perfection. *
Westminster lived up to its reputation - a glorious mix of heritage and modern magic. And with me wearing my favourite tutu, well, the whole trip was just simply delightful!
Until next time, dear dancers!
