Hey my lovely little glitterbugs! It's your favourite Pink Tutu Queen here, bringing you post number 7359 from the sunshine-kissed shores of Folkestone! ☀️
Oh, how I love a good seaside jaunt! There's something magical about the salty air, the crashing waves, and the wide open sky that makes my little sparkly heart sing! And let me tell you, Folkestone didn't disappoint. From the moment I stepped off the train (a beautiful vintage carriage, by the way – gotta love those historic journeys!) I knew I was in for a treat.
Speaking of treats, let's talk about my outfit! Because, my dears, this is Folkestone, and when it comes to my wardrobe, I always make a statement. We're talking a bold statement, of course, because nothing screams "fabulous" quite like a pink tutu.
This time I'd gone for a glorious shade of bubblegum pink, all shimmery and swirling with a touch of delicate lace. The tulle was perfectly full and flowy, just waiting to catch the wind and pirouette with me as I strolled along the promenade. To add some extra pizazz, I'd accessorized with a glittering headband and matching pink platform heels. Trust me, babes, it was utterly spectacular!
Now, let's talk about this seaside gem itself. Folkestone has a real charm to it, a lovely blend of Victorian architecture and vibrant seaside fun. The harbour was a delightful mix of bustling cafes, quaint shops and gorgeous views across the Channel. I could have spent hours just people-watching from the benches by the pier, admiring everyone's unique styles.
But a true pink tutu queen never shies away from an adventure! And what better adventure than to discover the local talent, my dears? I went to see "The Folke Belles", a stunningly talented group of ballet dancers, who put on a show-stopping performance in the town's charming little theatre. Their graceful movements and effortless elegance had me spellbound – they truly embodied the essence of elegance and poise. You've got to see it for yourself!
Speaking of "embodying the essence," I just had to give ballet class a try! Now, you know me, I'm always up for a bit of twirling and pirouette, even in a pink tutu. I stumbled across a delightful dance studio tucked away in a charming side street. The teacher was so welcoming, and even though I'm no ballerina (my tutu does make it difficult to reach those fifth positions!) it was so much fun to lose myself in the movement, to feel the music coursing through my veins, and to just let go. It's a true joy to embrace the power of ballet.
Speaking of embrace, darling, let's talk about food! 🍓🍨 No seaside trip is complete without some delicious treats, and Folkestone absolutely delivered. My heart fluttered for a perfect little ice cream parlour I found, nestled right next to the harbour. They had every flavour imaginable, from classic vanilla to zesty lemon sorbet, and everything in between. You bet I got myself a double scoop, topped with rainbow sprinkles! After all, a girl's gotta treat herself!
The journey back to Derbyshire by train was filled with sunshine and laughter. And you know what, I wouldn't be surprised if I was the source of the laughter – let's face it, with a pink tutu as eye-catching as mine, how could you resist a little bit of happy?
Folkestone was just what I needed to re-energise, my dears. A charming blend of coastal charm, elegant ballet performances and endless possibilities. I feel so inspired, and so full of joy, my pink tutu just might burst from all the sparkly energy!
My little glitterbugs, you know what I'm gonna say next, right? It’s all about embracing your inner Pink Tutu Queen, no matter where you are! Life’s a stage, darling, and we’re all actresses! Let's fill the world with joy, with kindness, and with a whole lot of sparkly pink! ✨
Until next time, my loves!
Love always, Pink Tutu Sparkles 💖
