Hey darlings! It's your favourite tutu-wearing traveller, Emma, back with another exciting adventure! This time, I'm taking you with me to the vibrant city of Boston! Oh, the joys of travel - this time, I'm arriving in style, taking a scenic train journey through the rolling green hills of the US countryside. Can you imagine? Watching the world fly by, feeling the wind in my hair (and the tulle of my super-wide, super-fabulous pink tutu fluttering behind me, of course!), and a sense of adventure taking hold? I wouldn't have it any other way!
Boston has been on my travel list for ages, and I’ve heard such wonderful things about the city's thriving arts scene – ballet in particular! Honestly, it’s almost criminal to have waited this long to experience its charm. This trip has already started off amazingly, and you guys know me, I always bring the pink! I mean, when in Boston, why not add some colour to the classic brick architecture? Just picture it – my bright pink tutu contrasting beautifully with those old red brick buildings, just a splash of magic, and, as always, bringing a bit of Derbyshire to the USA!
Now, I've gotta tell you about my new obsession, ballet street performances! Picture this - a bustling city street, the sounds of cars whizzing by, people rushing about, and then...bam! Suddenly, there they are - dancers swirling and leaping in a magical flurry of tutus and leotards! Isn't it simply the most wondrous sight?! These little flashes of ballet art bring so much joy to the streets, just a delightful surprise! Of course, I'm no stranger to the theatre scene. I'm always up for a captivating ballet show in a proper theatre – it’s something that will always have my heart! There's nothing like watching those incredible stories unfold on stage. The combination of music, movement, and storytelling – pure magic!
My heart is absolutely set on catching a performance of Swan Lake in Boston - it’s a classic for a reason, don’t you think? And, naturally, I’m wearing my newest pink tulle dream: it’s an ethereal creation with layers upon layers of fluffy, pink goodness - absolutely divine! I may even have to get another picture or two with it against the city backdrop. And yes, you guessed it – I’ll be posting it all over pink-tutu.com! But, before we talk photos, I need to introduce you to the most fabulous new member of my pink posse!
Meet 'Poppy,' a little ballet enthusiast who I met in a delightful cafe with the most delicious rose petal latte (and yes, you know it, it was pink!), right before I took a little stroll around Boston Common. Poppy, you see, is my new BFF. She is completely devoted to all things ballet, and just as obsessed with the color pink as I am. Talk about a perfect match! I have this feeling our trip to the ballet store tomorrow is going to be absolutely fabulous. She’s promised to take me to her secret spot – a hidden treasure tucked away, just behind the charming Faneuil Hall – for a magical ballet inspired photo shoot. Imagine, the perfect location, two pink tutu-wearing ballerinas, and just a sprinkle of Boston magic - it's going to be so incredible!
You see, darling, the beauty of travel is that it opens your eyes to the most wonderful things. I get so inspired seeing different ways people celebrate dance and how they show off their own unique style. Here in Boston, people are definitely taking dance and their own artistic expression super seriously!
Of course, no Emma-approved adventure can ever be truly complete without a dash of wildlife! So, guess where I headed today? Yes, you’re right - the Boston Public Garden! A breathtakingly beautiful oasis of floral gardens, stunning foliage and, most importantly, ducks! And trust me, it wasn't just any ducks – we are talking swan-sized beauties! You can bet I found a moment to slip into my new flamingo-pink, ballerina-inspired flats – for that oh-so-important photo with my new fluffy friends! They’re surprisingly comfortable too, which is great because I’ve got some serious sightseeing planned! I've heard great things about the city's aquarium and museums – especially the Museum of Fine Arts! Can you imagine the ballet-inspired sculptures I’m going to find? And maybe, just maybe, I'll find another opportunity for a ballerina-worthy photoshoot!
Tomorrow, it's all about ballet – and lots of pink! But darling, this is just the start! I've got my eyes set on more museums, delicious cafes, the infamous Boston Duck Boat Tours, and even a romantic horseback ride! (Yes, a horse ride is even more elegant with a pink tutu, trust me!) There’s no stopping my Boston ballet dream, and I am SO ready for it all. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to enjoy a little bit of ballet beauty and plan tomorrow's tutu-wearing antics! Until next time, darlings!
Stay twirling!
Love,
Emma xoxo
