Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing ballerina, Emma, here! And welcome back to my daily dose of everything pink, sparkly, and pirouette-worthy! Today, we're whisking off to the charming town of Ruislip, and I've got a brand new tutu to share with you – a bright and sunny yellow number that's practically screaming for summer!
This is post number 8375, which feels absolutely bonkers! I can't believe it's been over 8,000 posts on www.pink-tutu.com – thank you all so much for joining me on this crazy journey!
A Trip By Train and a Pony
I woke up this morning feeling a bit mischievous and utterly obsessed with the idea of travelling by train, so I took a gorgeous scenic route to Ruislip. My little station wasn't the grandest, but there's just something so romantic about train journeys, you know? As I looked out the window, it reminded me of a painting - rolling green hills, fields bursting with wildflowers, and a sky full of fluffy clouds. I swear, I felt like I was in one of those old classic ballet films, with the gentle rocking of the carriage, the scent of fresh air coming in through the window, and the rhythmic clicking of the wheels on the tracks... It felt so magical!
When I reached Ruislip, I realised there wasn't a better place to explore than a nearby stables, so I ventured off on a little pony named Daisy, who was the most gentle soul I've ever met. Her fur was the softest brown, almost the colour of chocolate, and her big, curious eyes were full of mischief. I felt completely at ease riding her through the fields, the wind whipping through my hair and a big, goofy smile plastered on my face.
Yellow Tutu, Yellow Sun
After my equestrian escapade, I headed to the town centre for a spot of lunch. But before I sat down, I couldn't help but stop for a photo op. You know me, I just love a good backdrop – especially one bathed in glorious sunshine like Ruislip! So, I whipped out my yellow tutu and, well, let's just say, my sunshine yellow tutu blended in perfectly with the day!
Now, you might think a yellow tutu isn't my usual shade of choice – pink is practically my middle name, darling – but this one is just SO wonderfully bright and joyful. The shade is more like a lemon sorbet than a fluorescent yellow, making it surprisingly flattering for any skin tone. Plus, it has a little ruffle trim at the bottom and the most adorable bow at the back. Oh, and a matching head band, which I couldn’t resist!
I'll be posting pictures of the full look on my Instagram later tonight – don’t forget to follow @pinktutuemma!
Ruislip: More Than Just A Stop
I have to say, Ruislip has stolen a piece of my heart today! There's something about the combination of rolling countryside, a charming town, friendly locals, and those bright sunny fields – it’s just pure, unadulterated joy.
You see, the magic of this life is that every corner can bring something beautiful. It's just a matter of keeping our eyes open and our spirits soaring, even in the mundane!
Don't Forget the Ballet
Speaking of soaring spirits, can we talk about the wonders of ballet? It's such an incredible art form that speaks to us in ways no other can. It's not just a set of steps and positions, darlings, it's a journey into emotion, artistry, and the pure joy of movement.
And believe me, it's something EVERYONE can enjoy, whether you’ve been dancing for years or just want to take a single class. I'm always saying:
“Tutu: the best way to make any day brighter!”
But really, if you're even a little curious about ballet, take a chance and join a class. There's something magical about putting on a tutu and just moving to the music! I guarantee you won't regret it.
Pink, Yellow, and Everything In-between
Oh, and if you're wondering how to rock your own tutu, don’t be shy to ask! I'm always happy to offer tips and tricks! Whether you want to go for the classic pink, something playful and vibrant like yellow, or a beautiful, ethereal shade of lavender, let's get you spinning!
My little motto is: "We've got all the colors in the rainbow, darling, so why not get twirling?!"
Well, darlings, I must get back to my own swirling adventures. But remember, I'm always here to chat and hear about your adventures too! Send me a message on Twitter at @EmmaPinkTutu, or drop a comment below.
And remember, stay sparkly!
Love, Emma xoxo
