Oh darling! Leicester, you were simply fabulous! This past weekend was pure pink tutu heaven - it's safe to say I absolutely conquered the city, with the sparkle of a thousand glitter bombs! 💖
But before we get to my fabulous adventures in the heart of the Midlands, let's take a moment to chat about my journey to Leicester. Because let's face it, travel is half the fun, right?
Well, darlings, I'm a girl who believes in the finer things, and a carriage ride simply isn't complete without a splendid dress! Imagine, if you will, me, in my finest lavender two-piece with a silk flower pinned to my bodice, perched atop a horse-drawn carriage. Yes, I took the scenic route to Leicester – my chariot pulled by a magnificent pair of horses who could definitely put those fancy thoroughbreds at Ascot to shame. They seemed quite taken with my outfit, perhaps a bit starstruck with this fabulous pink tutu princess? 😉
And what better way to travel than on a magnificent horse-drawn carriage? We galloped through the Derbyshire countryside, my flowing pink skirt billowing behind me like a whimsical cloud. Honestly, darling, you’d think I was straight out of a fairy tale!
Speaking of fairytales, when I finally reached the heart of Leicester, I realised that this was a city steeped in magic! Oh, my darlings, it's an absolutely beautiful city, overflowing with Victorian architecture and charming cobblestone streets. Just picture it – me, in a breathtaking peach tulle tutu and matching headband, gliding through the city centre, every passing car a silent admirer. Oh, the glamour!
After a quick check into a chic boutique hotel - we all need a bit of luxury, darlings! - I decided to make the most of the gorgeous afternoon weather. It was absolutely perfect for a delightful wander through the picturesque streets. And oh, darling, I did see some looks - I just adore a good fashion frenzy, especially when the tutus are out!
But of course, this fabulous journey to Leicester wouldn't be complete without a visit to the iconic De Montfort Hall, a stunning performance space that practically oozed historical charm. My dears, it’s where the real magic happened – that's where I performed my very own pink tutu spectacle!
You're wondering, perhaps, about the act? Well, let’s just say it was a masterpiece of pirouettes and pink feathers. Imagine a whirlwind of elegance and sass, with the power of a thousand glittering rainbows. We are talking synchronized dance numbers, a flamboyant wardrobe change, and enough pink to satisfy the most dedicated tutu fanatic. The entire room felt like a bubble of joy – with every twinkle and spin, I felt my connection to the audience grow. It was absolute enchantment! ✨
Afterwards, it was on to Leicester Square – yes, I know, a little cheesy, but the street actually had the name! - where I couldn't resist indulging in a sumptuous feast fit for a princess. Imagine this - a mountain of freshly baked scones, a generous spread of raspberry jam, and a heavenly slice of strawberry shortcake. Oh, darling, my sweet tooth was completely satiated!
You’re wondering, perhaps, about my ensemble for the evening? Well, darlings, let me paint you a picture. Imagine a dazzling emerald green velvet dress, adorned with glistening crystals that practically glowed in the dim lighting. And atop this divine piece of fashion magic, my go-to hot pink tulle tutu - it was perfection! Just imagine me waltzing down the cobbled streets, the light catching the twinkling beads, a magnificent silhouette of tulle and glitter! Perfection.
The following day, a bit sore from the dancing - but oh, darling, every bit worth it - I was thrilled to join a group of like-minded ballet aficionados at Leicester Ballet Centre. Imagine this – an energetic, joyous dance class filled with smiles, giggles, and endless swirling tutus. It was pure bliss. I was mesmerized by the elegant grace of the dancers – such fluidity, so much raw talent! They really inspired me to continue embracing my passion for ballet.
You see, darling, ballet is much more than just a dance. It's an art form, a way of life! Just picture me gliding through a ballet class - pink tutu billowing behind me as I spin and leap, every step imbued with the joy of expressing my own unique style. The pure bliss of graceful movement in a pink tutu truly is the best! And, let’s face it, darlings, if you want to feel beautiful, all you need is a good ballet class and a sprinkle of pink tulle magic.
The time flew by, and soon enough it was time to bid farewell to this enchanting city. But this isn't goodbye, darlings, just see you later. I’m already scheming my next grand adventure!
Oh, and one last bit of tutu magic before I go - I've had a wonderful opportunity to donate some of my very own gorgeous pink tutus to local charity, and even got a chance to give a talk on the empowering nature of the tutu – a little bit of pink magic in the world always makes a difference!
Until next time, my loves, remember that true happiness comes from being bold, being yourself, and yes, wearing that amazing pink tutu that makes your heart sing! 😉
XOXO
