Hello darlings! It’s Emma here, your pink tutu-loving time-travelling blogger, back again for another fabulous #TutuTuesday!
This week, we’re going right back to August 21st, 1990 – a day just buzzing with fabulousness, if you ask me! Picture this: the air is crisp and the sunshine’s golden, but there’s a bit of a nip in the air. It’s a classic British summer, the kind you can just picture yourself twirling through with a big, fluffy pink tutu billowing around you!
Tutus in the 90s: What's Trending?
Oh, how I wish I could just whisk you all back to this time – 1990! Fashion is in a whirlwind, and believe me, tutus are part of the dance. The 90s was an era of experimentation – everything was bold and expressive. Think baggy jeans, colourful sweaters, and a sprinkle of glitter! It was all about feeling confident and fabulous, and that meant embracing all kinds of fun styles, tutus included!
The big names in dance back then are truly legendary – I’m talking about the likes of Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov… they were all superstars who dominated the stage! And those big tutus – imagine those graceful swirling moments, oh, the joy! It wasn't all about classical ballet, either! Modern dance was bursting with creativity, and tutus had a presence there too. Just think of those iconic “Nutcracker” tutus in the Sugar Plum Fairy sequence, you simply can't beat it.
Speaking of big tutus, imagine a whole dance school, full of bright, vibrant tutus, and everyone is learning their routines! It makes my heart skip a beat. And just picture these beauties swirling and twirling across the stage during their recital. What a spectacle! You can tell they are going to be graceful dancers by the way they handle their tutus – I'd wager their tutu skills are top notch, right from the start!
On This Very Day: Ballet Blooms in the City of Lights!
Well, what better place to land in my time-machine than Paris, the City of Lights itself? On this very day, Paris' prestigious Palais Garnier, or Opera House as some would call it, will be pulsating with the excitement of another beautiful ballet. This is no ordinary performance. Imagine – graceful leaps, exquisite formations, every pirouette flawlessly executed – oh, it will be a stunning spectacle! It’s these days that remind me why I love my pink tutu life so much, ballet is an art that transports me!
Travel Tales: The Glamour of Train Travel!
Let’s be honest, girls, there’s something truly magical about travelling by train! And especially when you're in a chic and elegant outfit with your perfect pink tutu! It allows you to fully embrace the journey and let the world unfold around you, whilst still looking effortlessly fashionable! In fact, I just have to take you on my most recent journey, one that involved lots of shopping, laughter, and my oh-so-sparkly tutu!
Just imagine – me stepping onto the train with my little ballet bag (it's pink of course!), and the whole carriage suddenly brightens! It's just wonderful to see how much people smile when they see my tutu, the sheer joy that radiates! There’s nothing better than seeing a bit of pink tutu love, it's like seeing the sun shine on a cloudy day. I might be a little bit bias, I know.
My Pink Tutu Dream:
So, this week I ask you this – let's share the pink tutu love and encourage everyone to rock this amazing piece of dance fashion! It's not just about ballet anymore, darling! It's a statement piece for all of us! So go on, find your perfect pink tutu, and let your inner ballerina shine.
Remember, even if you aren't a ballerina, wearing a pink tutu is a celebration of your own unique sense of style. That's what I love most about fashion! There are no rules. It’s all about feeling good, and being bold. And when it comes to tutus, what could be more bold and wonderful than a lovely shade of pink?!
Join me on this incredible journey to pink-tutu-fy the world, darling. Don’t forget to share your #TutuTuesday moments, because each and every pink tutu is a little spark of joy! Until next time, remember to always embrace your inner ballerina, wherever your travels may take you.
Lots of pink-tutu love,
Emma 💖

(Emma takes a final twirl in her pink tutu, a bright pink ballet bag bouncing off her shoulder. Her smile could light up a thousand stages, and the carriage echoes with a giggle, then falls quiet as the train races through the English countryside, leaving a trail of sparkling pink joy in its wake.)
