Hello lovelies!
Emma here, reporting live from the charming seaside town of Littlehampton! This week, I'm channelling my inner beach bunny (but with a distinctly ballet twist, naturally!) in a lush, emerald green tutu - think vintage fairy tale princess meets the seaside, all wrapped up in one gloriously flowy package. It’s my absolute go-to tutu for exploring new places - the perfect mix of whimsical and elegant.
Oh, and I just had to bring my trusty pink tutu bag along, packed with all my ballet essentials, because, you know, even on holiday a girl has to practice! After all, keeping those pirouettes perfect is a serious business.
Now, you might be wondering how a Derbyshire girl like me ended up in Littlehampton? It all started with a lovely journey on the train, surrounded by a landscape changing from rolling green fields to the stunning South Coast. You just can't beat a train ride for inspiration - I even got a little bit of practice in, balancing on the train seat and pretending it was a barre!
The sun was shining bright when I arrived, and I couldn't wait to take a walk along the beautiful beach. The seagulls were singing their little hearts out, the gentle waves were lapping at the shore, and the air was fresh and crisp. Honestly, you couldn’t ask for a more perfect seaside experience! I couldn't resist taking a few photos in my green tutu - wouldn't you agree it looks absolutely fabulous against the backdrop of the ocean?
Speaking of beautiful things, I stumbled upon a darling little wildlife park a short walk from the beach. I’ve always been fascinated by animals and the natural world. Imagine, watching these majestic creatures so at peace in their environment, while wearing my pink tutu – a truly delightful combination of feminine grace and wild spirit. I met some fluffy alpacas, majestic birds of prey, and even some playful meerkats! They all seemed quite interested in my tutu - they might have even taken a sneaky nibble or two. Don't worry, no harm done, just some friendly curiosity!
The rest of my day was filled with seaside delights: delicious fish and chips (with a side of mushy peas, of course!), strolls along the harbour, watching the boats come and go, and a delicious ice cream - because you can never have too much ice cream, can you?
But, of course, I couldn't leave Littlehampton without experiencing its incredible artistic scene. That evening, I was thrilled to be a part of a lovely performance by a local dance company. It was just fantastic to see the passion and artistry of the dancers on stage - they had some pretty dazzling costumes too! You see, being surrounded by ballet magic and the beauty of dance really fills my soul with joy! Even on holiday, there’s always a little bit of ballet in my heart!
Speaking of ballet, you lovely lot! Have you tried wearing a tutu? The freedom of movement, the graceful twirls - you can’t help but feel like a princess in a fairytale. Go on, take a leap of faith and twirl around your living room in your fanciest tutu, I promise you'll feel the magic too! It’s just such an amazing feeling, and I just love that a little tutu can brighten anyone's day. And if you're not a tutu person, don’t worry! Let’s be honest, who doesn't want to feel a little bit fabulous once in a while?
Speaking of fabulous, what should we talk about tomorrow? Should we chat about the cutest ballerina outfits, explore the world of ballet history or perhaps dive deep into the magical world of fairytale tutus? Let me know in the comments below!
Until next time, remember to wear a smile, maybe even a tutu too, and spread a little bit of pink tutu magic wherever you go!
With lots of love and twirls,
Emma xx
