Hello, my darlings! It's your Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and today we're heading to Wembley! This gorgeous little city in London has been calling my name for weeks now, whispering secrets of sparkling lights and joyous crowds.
Oh, darling, I can practically hear the rhythm of the crowd, see the shimmering lights, and feel the pulse of the energy – Wembley is ready to get its sparkle on, and I'm bringing the pink!
Let me tell you, this trip is just a touch of magnificent. For one, I’ve had the most delightful train ride, watching the countryside blur into an impressionistic landscape of green and brown, with hints of springtime sunshine peeking through the clouds. My best girl, Ruby, came along for the ride, and we had such a lovely time discussing the latest fashion trends (the pastel floral theme this season, my darlings! A little peek-a-boo pink is a must!) and indulging in the delightful delights of a delicious hot chocolate from the cafe cart. Honestly, it was a journey for the senses!
Wembley has been an absolute joy! I spent the morning strolling around the market, trying to find the perfect pink feather boa to complete my look for tonight’s performance. After hours of careful consideration (it was truly a difficult choice!), I managed to secure a boa so utterly spectacular, so absolutely fabulous, it would make a feather blush!
Of course, no trip to Wembley is complete without a little indulgence in the art of ballet. Oh, darling, I'm such a ballerina at heart. The graceful movement, the precision of the form, the way each delicate flick of a wrist or toe point speaks a thousand unspoken words – it's utterly mesmerising! I’m a firm believer that ballet is the language of the soul.
I spent the afternoon at the National Dance Museum, immersed in the history of ballet and its evolution. Each costume, each program, each painting filled my heart with wonder. Did you know, darling, that the first tutu was made out of layers and layers of tulle, each layer carefully arranged to give a billowing and beautiful effect? Talk about commitment to fashion!
Later that evening, I slipped into a café to savour a dainty cup of tea and a delicious pastry – I must say, their raspberry jam tart was absolutely exquisite! It was a perfect little break to refresh my mind before heading off to the performance at the Grand Theatre. Oh, what an experience! A symphony of movement, colour, and passion, set against the backdrop of shimmering stage lights, it was simply divine! And guess what? It was all inspired by the life of one of my favourite ballerina heroines, Madame Margot. Oh darling, if you’ve not heard her story, you must look it up! The drama! The scandals! The romance! And then the exquisite performances! Truly, a magnificent tale for a remarkable woman.
Of course, the true magic happened that night on stage at the local arts festival. Oh, darlings, this audience truly understood the art of sparkle! They hooted, they cheered, they threw kisses my way. Honestly, you could hear the roar of their joy right across the park! And I can’t thank the universe enough for providing such wonderful supporters, my favourite bit is always seeing the joy in their eyes, that moment they fully get what pink tutus represent – a promise to unleash your own sparkle, and celebrate the beautiful mess that is our wonderful existence. It was enough to make me float!
That night, with a happy heart and my tutu billowing beautifully, I made my way to the hotel, exhausted but exhilarated by the day’s events. I even snagged a fabulous vintage sequined top at the hotel’s charity shop for a mere ten pounds. I just had to try it on - with a pink tutu, obviously! – and as the hotel manager walked past, I gave him my best "come hither" smile, sashayed, and then, in a voice tinged with theatricality, announced "This, my dear sir, is what I call "pink power!” The smile on his face was priceless, darling!
And that's my story, my loves! Another adventure wrapped in pink tulle, a city I’ll surely visit again! Don't forget to check out my Instagram for pictures of my Wembley look. You won't want to miss the amazing feather boa!
But until next time, my darlings, keep sparkling, stay fabulous, and always, always, always, wear pink!
Lots of love and pink sprinkles, Pink Tutu Sparkles x
