Hello my darling Tutu-ettes! 💖
Today’s post is extra special! It's from a gorgeous little city called Rochester, tucked away in the southeastern corner of beautiful Kent, England. I arrived yesterday on a swish, vintage train - yes, darling, the perfect way to travel for a girl like me, it's like a mini stage show.
Now, if you've been following my travels, you know my heart truly belongs to pink, and today's look is no different. This time, it's a gloriously voluminous tutu in a shade of blush pink that is practically edible. You guys wouldn't believe how many times I got asked for a selfie in it on the platform! It seems even the conductors have a soft spot for a girl in a pink tutu, darling!
But this tutu isn't just about style, it's about storytelling, darling. See, the fabric itself was actually inspired by the pink water lily blooms on the River Medway that runs right through Rochester. Just imagine, delicate, rose-gold petals fluttering on the breeze, reflected in the clear water. The colours just sang to me! So, here's to all the amazing natural inspiration out there, ladies! 💖
Speaking of inspiration, I've got a hot date today with the Rochester Castle gardens, which, let's be honest, are practically a mini Eden. Did I mention the flowers? They're a riot of colour - the perfect backdrop for my tutu, don’t you think? Plus, they’ve just opened up this stunning ‘hidden’ secret garden - apparently, it's even more pink-tastic than my new tutu. I just had to see it for myself.
And of course, the whole point of coming to Rochester was the ballet! I know, I know, what’s a ballet dancer without ballet shows?! 🩰 And Rochester was not disappointing.
I managed to snag tickets for “The Nutcracker” at the amazing Corn Exchange. It was all sugar plum dreams, darling! The dancing, the costumes, the whole ambiance – everything just made me feel like a little girl again, twirling through a magical land of my dreams. The ballerina playing the Sugar Plum Fairy was particularly dazzling. The way she moved was ethereal, darling! I think I might’ve even cried a little… happy tears, of course. 🥰
After the performance, I whipped out my trusty, vintage travel journal and started writing. It’s funny, the way these journeys really inspire me to write, darling. And you know, I’m going to share this story in my journal entry too. Maybe I’ll even use it for a new poem. I’m actually feeling a little poetic these days, like I have something beautiful I just need to get out of my soul. 🌸
You know, this journey isn’t just about me, it’s about all of you! There’s something special about sharing these experiences. Every single one of you can discover your inner pink tutu, darling, whatever that looks like! I believe that every one of us has the power to find our own beauty, and spread that spark. Whether it's dancing on stage, learning a new art, or even simply trying something new. So, let’s do it together, shall we?
Let's make every day a celebration of life, darling.
