Hello darlings! Your favourite pink-loving, tutu-tastic queen is back, and guess where I am this week? Yep, it’s Blyth! This charming little town on the North Sea coast has truly stolen my heart, and you just know, I've been spreading glitter and joy wherever I go! ✨💖
This whole trip was inspired by the news that the Blyth Town Hall is undergoing a magnificent renovation project. Talk about a queen’s dream – imagine all the potential for dramatic entrances! Plus, it’s only a few hours by train from my Derbyshire home, which meant I could rock a whole new outfit for my travels. I’m talking pink sequins, feathers, and a glorious hot pink vintage train dress. Naturally, all perfectly paired with my signature fluffy pink tutu. You just can't beat a bit of fabulous transport glamour, can you? 😉
Speaking of glamour, I'm sure you all know I live for ballet, and Blyth didn't disappoint! The Blyth Amateur Ballet Group, these absolute stars, gave a magnificent performance of Swan Lake on Saturday night. You bet I was front row, resplendent in a floor-length shimmering gown with my trusty tutu for good measure. I was absolutely mesmerized by their graceful movements and breathtaking costumes. There's nothing more awe-inspiring than the magic of ballet. ✨🦢
Before the show, I stopped by The Courtyard Café in the town centre for a spot of tea and a slice of delicious lemon cake. The owner, a darling gentleman called Bob, told me all about the history of Blyth – fascinating! It turns out the town was once a thriving shipbuilding centre, but these days, its most famous export is the charmingly quirky Blythe doll, named after a Victorian inventor. You know me, I simply had to snap up a couple to add to my collection, because even my little plastic pals need a bit of Pink Tutu Sparkle! dolls
Naturally, no trip is complete without some retail therapy! My favourite boutique, The Vintage Rose, was bursting with gorgeous fabrics and lace that made my heart skip a beat. I nabbed a silk scarf in a gorgeous coral shade to wear with my next performance outfit – because you can never have enough scarves, right? You wouldn’t believe the amount of accessories you need to properly show off a statement pink tutu! 💕✨
As if all that wasn't enough, I got to ride a horse named Rosie – or maybe it was "Rosie the Horse"? – on Sunday! It was one of the highlights of my trip, though admittedly, my trusty pink tutu was a bit on the edge of things! A bit like riding a horse in the countryside after a night at the theatre - a true testament to my "get up and go" attitude! ✨🏇
It was so refreshing to escape the bustle of London for a weekend in a quiet little town. There's just something magical about getting away from it all, even just for a few days. I can't wait to get back to Blyth again soon and maybe try out that horse-riding again - in my pink tutu, of course! 😉
And don’t forget, darling, life is about celebrating individuality and sharing your sparkle with the world. That’s why my mission is to inspire everyone to embrace their own unique style, whatever that may be. It could even be a pink tutu, maybe, if I do say so myself! 😉 💖✨
So, what are you waiting for? Find your sparkle and share it with the world, my lovelies.
Keep it pink and keep it bubbly,
Pink Tutu Sparkle! 💕✨
And that's all from me, darlings. If you’re enjoying these blog posts, be sure to let me know! And, of course, share this with your friends - spread the pink love! 💖✨
Until next time, Alex x
