Post number 7249
Hello my darlings! Emma here, writing to you from the sun-kissed shores of Bournemouth! I’ve just arrived by train, and honestly, the journey was a joy in itself. There's something about a train ride that gets the creative juices flowing, and for me, that means dreaming up my next Tutu Look!
You’ll see it here, in all its glory - a wide, majestic, oh-so-pink tulle delight! I couldn’t resist a little extra flair for this trip, and with the Bournemouth air so fresh and vibrant, a touch of theatrical whimsy seemed perfect. Let’s just say the carriage was positively enchanted!
Now, before we delve into Bournemouth’s wonders, let’s talk about why this week's tutu is a must-have in your life too:
Pink is powerful. Pink is fierce. Pink is ALWAYS on trend. My latest creation, this "Bournemouth Bloom" tutu, has just the right mix of pink tones – blushing pink, bubblegum pink, and even a touch of hot pink for that fiery flourish!
Wide tutus make life grand! Don't be afraid to embrace your inner ballerina, even if you're not performing in the Royal Ballet (though a girl can dream!). Wide tutus bring a touch of romance and a dash of fairytale magic to everyday life. They make everything more fabulous, don't you think?
So, let’s get to it, Bournemouth! The moment I stepped out of the train station, I knew this was a city for a twirling princess! Imagine this: bright blue skies, sparkling blue sea, a fresh salty breeze blowing, and all the seaside chic I could ask for. You simply HAVE to come and experience it!
From Coast to Coast (with Tutu in tow!)
Naturally, my first stop had to be the Bournemouth beach! It’s wide, it’s sandy, it’s utterly charming, and the perfect spot to pose with my tutu, of course! The sandpipers took no notice, busy flitting about, oblivious to the fashion statement they were sharing with me.
For those who love wildlife as much as I do, Bournemouth is a real treat. I spied a flock of seagulls performing synchronized "swan dive" formations for my amusement. Who needs Swan Lake, eh? The real deal is so much better!
Dinner and Dancing (in Style)
One of the biggest joys of Bournemouth was dinner at the Boathouse on the beach! A truly dreamy location - imagine sitting on the water's edge, dining on fresh seafood, with the waves crashing gently nearby. My tutu, I assure you, was the envy of all the other diners. A sprinkle of tutu magic definitely spiced up the evening!
Ballet Lessons at Bournemouth School of Ballet
My mission this weekend: To spread the joy of ballet wherever I go! This led me to Bournemouth School of Ballet - and trust me, these little ones have got talent! They even have some impressive tutu collections already! I helped out with a lesson, showing them a few moves, and it was SO much fun.
And if you thought this day couldn’t get any more enchanting, guess what?! After the ballet lesson, I enjoyed the most magical afternoon at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum! Imagine the world of ballet mixed with Art Nouveau and Belle Epoque architecture, all in one breathtaking location. I mean, come on, it's pure heaven for a tutu lover!
Pink Perfection and the Art of the Tutu
Bournemouth has really impressed me. I just knew it would be perfect for the adventurous, girly-girl at heart, and of course, I’m planning to make it a regular destination for both myself and my blog readers. Who’s ready for a seaside adventure with me? Just remember: pink tutus, a splash of sunshine, and a good dose of fun…that’s how I like to do life!

Until next time,
Love,
