Hello my lovelies! It's your favourite pink tutu queen, Pink Tutu Sparkles, reporting live from sunny Hounslow!
Oh, Hounslow! What a truly delightful treat you are! Let me tell you, after my whirlwind of a week flitting from London's West End to the heart of Derbyshire, it was the perfect place to take a deep breath and soak up some sun! I may not be able to wear my glitter-tastic platform heels at a ballet studio, but I can certainly feel the magic swirling around me!
And talking of magic, I've got to tell you about my fabulous new pair of glittery pink tutu ballet flats! They arrived this week, straight from a Parisian shoemaker (well, via Amazon!), and oh my goodness, they're divine! Imagine, if you will, a symphony of sparkly pinks with just a dash of delicate embroidery, all resting upon the softest leather. These flats were born to pirouette and shimmy their way into my heart - and they're just as comfortable as they look! (Just picture my absolute delight! They're actually practical and adorable!)
But you know me, darling, the real excitement came when I saw those pink tulle billows dancing across the platform at Hounslow Central! I swear, my tutu felt a tiny bit jealous! There's nothing like that iconic swirl, the kind that makes even the most jaded heart soar like a feather in a gentle breeze!
What brought me to this enchanting town, you ask? Well, my dears, I'm making the most of my time travelling through our lovely land. Today, I was invited to a fabulous, quirky, independent boutique for a special performance. It’s part of a "Glitter-Bomb Saturday!" series the shop is doing for summer! You just know I had to shimmy my way to Hounslow! And what a fabulous time I had!
After the performance, the kind shop owner (and obviously my newest admirer!), insisted I had to have a look at her amazing balletwear! I can’t lie, she did try to get me into a beautiful, pale pink satin dress, complete with a sequined, frilled bodice... it felt delicious on me! And the shop’s newest selection of handmade tutus were just heavenly! I confess I nearly grabbed a little baby-pink tutu with black sequin embellishment! I'd like to give them a home, but sadly, my collection is already overflowing!
I even treated myself to some lovely pink ribbon – perfect for embellishing a pair of fluffy ballet shoes I saw at a street market near the shop. Don't worry, I'll post about it on Pink-Tutu.com – maybe even have a live crafting session!
The whole trip has been so delightful – almost like one of those ballet scenes you see in the movies where everything comes to a magical stop, the music swells, and a spotlight hits the dancer in perfect timing. Except this time, it was all pink!
Anyway, I must fly! It’s time to explore what the rest of this darling little town has in store! If you see me whizzing past on the train, don't forget to give a little wave and remember, darling... every day's a day to wear a pink tutu!
Stay twirling, Pink Tutu Sparkles x
