#TutuQueen on 2017-10-29 stars in Hastings

Hello my lovelies! Pink Tutu Sparkles here, and welcome back to another fabulous day on the Pink Tutu Blog! Today is extra special, because you know what? Today, we're hitting the seaside! That's right, we're taking a trip to the charming coastal town of Hastings. I know what you're thinking - Pink Tutu Sparkles and the beach? What a curious combo, right? Well, my darlings, just you wait, this is gonna be one for the books!

This blog post, number 6512 - can you believe it? We've come so far together - is all about the excitement of a tutu-ful seaside trip. So get comfy, grab a cuppa (with a pink biscuit, obviously) and let's dive in!

This morning I boarded a charming old train from Derbyshire. I couldn't resist a trip to Hastings via the railway, you see. There's just something so enchanting about a train journey, the click-clack of the tracks, the fresh air wafting through the window - it truly takes me back to simpler times. And who needs an airport anyway, when you've got such a delightful mode of transportation right on your doorstep?

Oh, and let's talk about the fashion. Now, for this trip, I decided to wear a bold, pink ensemble with a touch of silver sparkle, obviously. The skirt was a whimsical layered tulle creation - think delicate pink clouds in motion, with a little silver thread woven in, all topped off with a feather boa as my travel cape. (Gotta protect myself from that train-generated wind, right?).

And yes, there was a tutu! A blush-pink number, perfectly twirlable, that was just calling out for a trip to the sea.

The other passengers, bless their hearts, couldn't help but grin at me. One little girl even gave me a thumbs-up as she walked past! "You're fabulous, Pink Tutu Sparkles!" I could almost hear her say!

Once we arrived in Hastings, it felt like stepping into a vintage postcard. I had envisioned the bustling promenade with its traditional amusement arcades and candy shops, but as we pulled into the station, my eyes were captivated by the old-world charm. I couldn't resist stopping for a photo at the beautiful old station building, all faded pastel paintwork and vintage signage, just perfect for my pink ensemble!

I grabbed a freshly squeezed orange juice and wandered along the pier, admiring the vibrant seascapes. There was a certain kind of energy, an unmistakable seaside joyfulness that had me twirling and smiling from ear to ear! I felt truly alive, every single sequin on my dress shimmering in the sun.

Then came the pièce de résistance - the beach. Imagine the scene: golden sand stretching as far as the eye could see, the refreshing sound of crashing waves, and the refreshing sea air gently whipping my feather boa. Bliss!

And naturally, Pink Tutu Sparkles had to unleash the ultimate seaside fashion statement: the tutu on the beach. Picture it: Me, my pink dress billowing in the wind, that majestic pink tutu adding a touch of playful magic to the scene, a smile on my face as I spun and twirled in the glorious, sunshine-drenched moment. A perfect beach-side spectacle if ever I've seen one!

Of course, there was no shortage of tourists stopping to capture my tutu-tastic moment. And while some might have thought it a tad over the top, I, Pink Tutu Sparkles, just embraced the attention! After all, what better way to spread the magic of pink tutus than by sharing them with the world, one seaside twirl at a time!

After the beach, we ventured onto the vibrant promenade, stopping at an array of colorful shops and delightful cafes. And where else could I showcase my pink-tutu-licious ensemble, right? We couldn't let this opportunity to shine slip away, could we?

We window-shopped at a little antique shop overflowing with vintage lace and feather boas (a real gem!). And what better way to enjoy a cuppa and a pink-tutu-themed scone, if not in the cozy confines of a charming little seaside tea room?

I struck a pose by a floral mural that screamed summer vibrance and posed for a few photos outside the oldest building in Hastings! (A little tutu trivia for you: The building's age makes it almost as old as Pink Tutu Sparkles herself).

One thing that really caught my eye was a little vintage record shop filled with treasures. It was so reminiscent of the places I visited during my trip to London earlier this year - that was another fun-filled trip with endless adventures for the Pink Tutu Blog! (Do check it out if you missed it! Number 5289. We really outdid ourselves that trip. The flower crowns! The pink high-heels! We dazzled!).

After a full day of sightseeing and pink-tutu fun, it was time for dinner. I found a little restaurant on the harbour with twinkling lights and delicious fish and chips. (Remember kids: If you're having fish and chips, be sure to make room for a generous slice of pink cake after. We all have to treat ourselves!). I even found a matching pink-tutu-inspired outfit on display at the cafe (so stylish!).

But the night wasn't over yet! Hastings is truly alive with an enchanting energy after dark! The promenade sparkled under the moonlight, like something straight out of a fairytale. We had a glass of champagne in one of the lively pubs, complete with live music. You know, a bit of classic tutu-inspired fun - the sort of night that inspires dreams and sparks joy!

It was such a fabulous trip. Hastings truly embraced the Pink Tutu spirit, and so did I! Every smile, every twirl, every photo was an echo of the message that’s so close to my heart: The world is a brighter, happier, and more stylish place with a dash of pink tutu magic!

I believe that wearing a pink tutu isn't about a costume, it's about expressing your true self and spreading happiness. And after today, Hastings has been officially tutu-fied!

Don't forget to check out the photo album on the website, and you can find me on Instagram for daily updates with #PinkTutuSparkles!

This post has been one for the books. You know I’ll be back to Hastings soon. I already have my eye on the Pink Tutu Ball at the end of the year. Maybe we'll all even take a tutu-themed seaside walk on the promenade - we’ll have to wait and see what we get up to, my dear, tutu-ful lovelies. But one thing's for sure: it’s going to be a dazzling trip. Until next time!

P.S. What are some of your favorite places to explore? Send me your travel tips (or just a fun story!).

Love and pink tutus,

Pink Tutu Sparkles xx
