Hello lovelies!
It's Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-wearing time traveller, and it's #TutuTuesday again! This week we're twirling back to 13th May 2014 - can you believe it's been almost a decade? Well, let me tell you, my dear readers, even time doesn't stop tutus from being utterly divine!
Now, 13th May 2014... what a glorious day for tutus! It was a Wednesday, which meant I was probably rocking a fabulously flouncy pink tutu at a ballet class in London! I remember those classes so vividly - it's truly inspiring being surrounded by other women who absolutely adore tutus, sharing tips on getting the perfect twirl, and the camaraderie we shared was pure magic!
Of course, with being a time-traveling tutu fanatic, I couldn't stay put for too long. After my London ballet class, I had a grand plan: catching a thrilling show at the Royal Opera House. I absolutely adored the ballet world in this era! They had these spectacular performances, and even the Bolshoi Ballet was touring, just a few hours by train away. Honestly, it felt like magic, the way those dancers flitted across the stage in their magnificent costumes – so much inspiration for my next tutu ensemble!
And speaking of ensembles, the fashion world in 2014 was brimming with tutus! They weren't just on the stage; designers were using them to create some truly sensational runway pieces! Think Dior, Chanel, and even the amazing Alexander McQueen! The street style was also fabulous - with women rocking tutu-inspired looks everywhere, it felt like the whole world was caught up in a whimsical ballet!
Of course, this era also had some pretty amazing tutus themselves! Think exquisite fabrications and details - think Swarovski crystals scattered all over the netting, and a real focus on craftsmanship and quality!
But wait! Did you know that the New York City Ballet was performing the Tchaikovsky "Sleeping Beauty" ballet at this time? My word, wouldn't that have been absolutely delightful to witness! I could imagine the incredible costumes, the romantic story, and the sheer elegance of the whole affair – utterly dreamy!
The world was such a lovely place in 2014, full of wonder, magic, and just a pinch of sparkly, pink tutu magic. And it just goes to show you, darlings: no matter when you're reading this blog post, tutus are always on-trend and always worth embracing!
Remember, life is a beautiful dance – embrace the grace, the sparkle, and the utter joy that only a pink tutu can bring! And don't forget to tell your friends – we all need more twirls in our lives, don't we?
Until next week, keep twirling!
Love,
Emma xx
