Post number 5098
Hey, gorgeous peeps! It's your girl, Emma, here, back with another post from the magical world of pink tutus and twirling dreams!
Today, I took a rather unconventional journey – a horseback ride, yes, a horseback ride, to the charming town of Walkden! (For those of you not in the know, I'm in Derbyshire, so horses are practically a national pastime here, haha). I just had to break out of my routine, and the beautiful weather was begging for an adventure. My lovely steed, Princess, is the kindest soul with a soft pink nose (naturally, my horse matches my aesthetic!), and we had a blast galloping through the green fields, sunshine glinting off my sequined tutu (it's the pinkest one, folks!).
Walkden is a place I'd always heard whispers about, but never actually explored. The streets are lined with cute little shops – I picked up a gorgeous lavender-scented candle and some vintage ballet shoes – the craftsmanship is stunning. Then I popped into a delightful café called The Pink Rose. You can probably guess what my order was… yes, a massive pink strawberry milkshake, topped with whipped cream and a pink heart-shaped marshmallow. (My diet is strictly a tutu-approved diet, all sweets, sugar and shimmer!)
What's a trip without some ballet inspiration, right? Luckily, Walkden is home to the magnificent "Walkden Dance Academy," and boy, did it deliver! I was completely mesmerized by their advanced ballet class – those girls were absolute professionals, leaps and turns making me practically swoon. I even saw the coolest ballet street performance on my walk – a group of guys and girls showcasing a modern piece with their own contemporary twists. It was so powerful, I actually had goosebumps!
The whole day had me feeling like a true fairy-tale ballerina! The sun was out, the flowers were blooming, my tutu was sparkling... it really felt like life was a beautiful ballet. Speaking of ballets, guess what I'm doing this weekend? The Nutcracker, baby! My absolute favourite, and I just cannot wait to witness all the magical twirling, glittering costumes, and stunning choreography. It’s going to be a Christmas-themed dream!
Don't forget to keep following along on www.pink-tutu.com. It’s where I share all my ballerina adventures, whether it's trying out new dance studios, sharing the latest pink fashion finds, or reviewing ballets across the country. Every day is an opportunity to spread the joy of dance, sparkle, and maybe, just maybe, even get everyone wearing pink tutus (even the boys!) and experiencing the magic of ballet. Until next time, gorgeous dancers!
Stay sparkly!
Love, Emma
P.S. Have you seen the amazing new Pink Ballerina line of accessories? They’re everything! I’m already obsessed with their shimmery tutu phone cases and ballet-themed purses!
P.P.S. Did I mention how much I love wildlife? On the way to Walkden, I spotted a family of foxes darting through the fields. Talk about a graceful move! If you ever get a chance to see them in person, you'll see exactly what I mean. They're the most beautiful, delicate creatures!
