Hey, darlings! It’s your favourite tutu-loving blogger, Emma, and guess what?! We’re about to take a trip back in time to… well, this week! It’s been a whirlwind of fabulous fun, and, of course, pink tutus!
So, strap yourselves in – we’re heading to Rainham, a lovely little town in Kent (it feels like we’ve stepped right out of a Dickens novel here!). And, let me tell you, the vibes here are magic! This place has so much history; every cobbled street whispers with stories of kings and queens, castles and pirates… my imagination just ran away with itself!
But enough about my daydreams. Today’s outfit was pure pink power! I felt like a real-life fairy princess (okay, maybe a little less floaty than Tinkerbell!), sporting my latest find: a gorgeous German tutu in shades of hot pink, magenta and a touch of bubblegum! 🎀 I'm obsessed with German tutus! The way they're so sparkly, almost like candy floss, really makes me feel like I'm twirling through a sugar-plum dream.
I know some of you love the classical style with those longer, flowing layers - but my heart belongs to the shorter, more modern tutu with that poofy, whimsical shape. They make my legs look extra long, don't you think?! And that's something I always appreciate! 💃
But let’s talk Rainham! We’re on a quest to get everyone rocking a pink tutu! That's right, folks, a tutu for every single soul on this planet! It’s a big goal, but, I believe with the help of my dear followers, we can do it. Imagine a world awash with pink tutus – it’d be a rainbow of swirling joy, a fluffy ballet wonderland! 😍
A Touch of History and Horse Power
After breakfast at a quaint little café, I wandered around Rainham, getting a real sense of the history that still resonates in these ancient walls. My imagination took over and I could almost hear the echoing whispers of Roman soldiers or medieval knights riding past!
Speaking of riding, did you know that Rainham used to be home to a famous racehorse? A horse called Tutu – can you believe it? How ironic is that? 😉 I mean, how fitting for a tutu blogger! This little coincidence made me want to find a local riding stable. Luckily, I did, and spent the afternoon bonding with a friendly, fluffy mare. The horse had the softest fur and the most soulful eyes! We connected in a way that I hadn’t before. And yes, it reminded me that, much like a dancer, these amazing creatures have incredible grace and strength.
As the sun began to set, casting a beautiful orange glow over Rainham, I knew it was time for some much-needed tutu-wearing! After all, you can’t truly experience a place without some swirling magic, right?! I made my way to the lovely gardens near the town’s historic manor house and did a little impromptu ballet show, right there on the lawn. There wasn’t a single soul around, but, I could feel their spirits joining in!
From Rainham to Ballet Wonderland
Now, listen, it wasn’t a traditional ballet, but, it was an embodiment of pure joy and liberation. I felt the wind on my face, the crisp air filling my lungs, and my pink tutu seemed to dance in its own way, swaying to a silent melody. 🎵 The beauty of ballet lies in its freedom – freedom to express, to inspire, to move with grace and power! I could hear whispers of fairies, whispers of forgotten melodies and the beat of a thousand little hearts in the soft breeze that swept across my cheeks.
Later, after an amazing vegetarian meal at the "Rainbow Cottage" (yes, I love the name, but I did want to go inside to make sure their walls weren’t pink!). It was definitely a sign I needed a touch of pink to go with my pink tutu. My heart was singing after my magical day, a real tribute to the simple pleasures and to the joy of spreading pink magic across the world!
I promise to take you on many more tutu adventures and adventures where pink tutus are forbidden! 😉 If you haven’t already, I encourage you all to follow me on Instagram! I post my outfits there every day with an added bit of fluff and sparkle.
Until next time, keep on twirling and spreading pink tutu love!
