Hey gorgeous! It’s Emma here, writing to you live from Ealing Broadway, where the pavements are positively shimmering under the London sunshine. Today was a whirlwind of tutus and trains, so buckle up for a fabulous story, darlings!
As a Derbyshire girl at heart, I’ve always loved a good train journey. There's something so romantic about gazing out of the window at the scenery whizzing by. This morning, I hopped on a charming little train from Paddington, with my trusty tutu bag strapped securely to my shoulder. Inside, of course, was the pinkest tutu imaginable, a vibrant bubblegum dream just begging to be twirled in Ealing.
I had a ballet class to attend this afternoon at the rather wonderful Ealing Studios. You know me, I love a bit of ballet on the road! My heart just bursts with joy at the chance to practice my pirouettes in a new place. And honestly, the studio was incredible – the high ceilings and gleaming wooden floor felt so classic. You could almost feel the history of countless ballets swirling in the air.
Speaking of ballets, after class, I was treated to a delightful surprise – tickets to the Royal Ballet’s Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. Swan Lake, darling, what a masterpiece! I mean, the music! The costumes! The artistry! And those stunning cygnets? Honestly, it gave me chills, especially the Black Swan. And speaking of swans, the little black swan at the pond outside the Royal Opera House had me in a complete swoon. He was so majestic! You see, I’ve got a soft spot for birds and swans in particular, so to be able to appreciate such elegance and grace was a real treat.
Of course, I wouldn't miss the chance to snap a few pics with my lovely pink tutu outside the Opera House. A tutu adds that little something special to any outfit, don't you think? Even in London, where people can be a little uptight, I still get loads of smiles from people whenever I'm out and about in my tutu. I guess it makes them feel a bit lighter, reminds them that there's a bit of whimsy and fun out there, waiting to be explored.
By the time I finished exploring Ealing, my feet were aching but my heart was overflowing with joy. You see, I'm so grateful for every little opportunity I have to indulge my passion for ballet, travel, and – of course – my favourite shade of pink! It reminds me that even the most mundane day can be turned into something magical, with a dash of creativity and a whole lot of tutus.
But I want you all to remember this, darlings: Ballet isn’t just about swirling tulle and delicate moves, it’s about finding strength in grace, and discovering joy in the simplest things. It’s about spreading a little bit of sparkle and joy wherever you go!
So next time you're feeling a little down, or the world feels a bit too serious, put on your brightest, pinkest tutu, twirl around, and embrace the magical!
Oh, and don't forget, you can join me on my tutu-filled adventures over at www.pink-tutu.com.
Until next time, keep twirling!
Lots of love,
Emma x
P.S. Did you see that glorious new pink tutu I found in Ealing? It's got the cutest little swan embroidery on it! Maybe it was inspired by the Royal Opera House's swan – or maybe it's a sign! 😉 I'll definitely be posting about it on Instagram later, so don't forget to follow @PinkTutuGirl!
