Hello lovelies! It’s your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, Emma, here, and I'm writing to you from the charming town of Morley! Now, you might not know Morley off by heart, but let me tell you, it's a little gem nestled away in Yorkshire, and I’ve fallen head over heels for its charm.
This trip was a dream come true - a chance to combine my passion for ballet with a weekend escape. I was in Morley for a fantastic performance of Swan Lake by the Northern Ballet. Oh my, it was just beautiful! Seeing such talent in a traditional theatre setting, feeling the emotion of the dancers – there’s truly nothing quite like it! It’s an experience that always makes me want to get back to the barre and refine my own steps, and maybe add a new trick to my repertoire.
After the ballet, it was time to explore the town. The heart of Morley lies in a lovely market square, lined with pretty shops and cosy cafes. I even found a hidden gem: a vintage clothes store crammed with gorgeous clothes - my inner fashionista was in heaven! You know me, I can't resist a little bargain, especially when it's a fab retro find for my next photoshoot. And honestly, is there a better excuse to add another gorgeous tutu to my collection? I don't think so!
My afternoon took a slightly more whimsical turn when I found myself drawn to a gorgeous park brimming with wildlife. The squirrels were scampering through the trees and the birds were singing their little hearts out. It reminded me of the countryside back in my Derbyshire home. Nothing makes me happier than spending time in nature, and seeing how nature’s beauty can inspire even the most creative of minds - my mind is bursting with ideas already!
Now, let's talk about my travel adventure. As a fellow traveller, you already know I can’t resist a train journey. It was such a pleasure watching the English countryside whiz by! And to be perfectly honest, I snuck a cheeky ballet move or two in the carriage, just to stay warm and stretch my legs (and keep the fellow passengers entertained!). Maybe I’ll even create a new routine, one inspired by my recent travels, just for my lovely readers!
My journey wouldn't be complete without sharing my Morley style. Now, Morley is all about embracing the classic charm, and I went full on vintage glam! Think a flowing floral dress, a stunning vintage coat in a beautiful berry colour, and of course, my iconic pink tutu. Let's face it, what would a trip to Morley be without a little pink magic?! I paired my tutu with a beautiful blush pink headband, a delicate pearl necklace and vintage heels for a look that's as fun as it is chic. Because at the end of the day, style is all about having fun and embracing your inner fabulous self!
So, to my darling readers: Where is your inner pink tutu waiting to bloom? Take a cue from me, get out there and embrace adventure!
And while you’re at it, let’s keep spreading the ballet love! Take a class, see a show, try out some pirouettes in your living room - just let that passion for dance shine!
Remember, everyone can be a ballerina at heart, regardless of age or skill! And until next time, darling readers, may your tutus be pink, your lives be full of pirouettes, and your days be filled with twirling joy!
Stay fabulous,
Emma xx www.pink-tutu.com
