Hello darlings!
It's Emma here, your resident pink tutu enthusiast, reporting live from the beautiful, quaint, and oh-so-charming Walton Upon Thames! I just arrived by train, feeling like a ballerina swanning onto the platform. The wind whipped my skirt, and my heart fluttered at the promise of a lovely day filled with dancing and delicious discoveries.
Speaking of discoveries, have I told you about my newfound obsession with vintage shops? I found a little gem on the high street today that I simply had to visit. Imagine my delight when I stumbled upon a gorgeous pink feather boa! It was like fate, honestly. You know how much I love pink! (And feathers – don't forget feathers! My tutu collection is positively overflowing with feathers.)
After a delightful chat with the owner, who was just as lovely as her shop, I walked into town, my feathered accessory swaying gently with each step. I spotted a small theatre, a ballet school (my heart skipped a beat!), and a shop dedicated to vintage costumes – can you imagine my delight?! Honestly, it's as if this town was designed with pink-loving ballet enthusiasts in mind.
The sun was out, painting everything with a golden glow, and I swear the air smelled like fresh roses. I just had to capture the perfect Insta-worthy moment! With a twirl and a flourish, I posed before a wall covered with brightly coloured flowers. I think it was even prettier than the ballerina in the shop window (though, honestly, nothing quite beats a dancer in a tutu! Don't you think?).
Then, it was time for a delightful little ballet class! (I've told you how much I love going to class, right? It just sets my spirit alight! It's almost as satisfying as finding a fabulous vintage boa!). The studio was charming, with sunlight pouring through the windows. A whole group of aspiring ballerinas warmed up with graceful stretches. They seemed to float effortlessly as if they were defying gravity itself. It made me so excited – it was like I was watching my own little pink ballet dreams come to life!
After the class, feeling refreshed and ready for a new adventure, I explored the cobbled streets, finding charming cafes and antique shops overflowing with treasures. It reminded me of home a little, especially those sweet little vintage boutiques, you know, like the ones my mum used to take me to in Derbyshire. The rolling hills, the picturesque stone walls – they just fill me with such warmth and inspiration.
I can already tell Walton Upon Thames is going to become one of my new favorite places! I am already planning my next trip, hoping for a visit to that theatre. It would be lovely to catch a ballet show – maybe even wear my new pink feather boa for the occasion! (Honestly, don't you just love the feeling of feathers against your skin?)
For now, I am sitting here in my cozy little hotel room, with my new boa draped across the armchair. It feels like the perfect ending to a day filled with twirls and discoveries. I have my ballet slippers and my journal laid out, ready for tomorrow’s adventures. It just feels right.
What a day! And don't you just love how much joy ballet and tutus can bring to any situation?
Have you ever worn a tutu? What's your favorite way to express yourself? Let me know in the comments!
Stay fabulous!
Until next time,
Emma
