Oh, my darlings! Can you believe it's been another fabulous day in the life of Pink Tutu Sparkles? Today's journey took me to the delightful town of Mitcham, nestled in the heart of Surrey. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Mitcham? What could possibly be so exciting about Mitcham?" But let me tell you, this little gem of a town held a surprise around every corner, and of course, a magnificent tutu adventure.
As a queen who thrives on a dash of sparkle and a whole lot of whimsy, train travel always sets my heart aflutter. Imagine this, my darlings, I boarded a beautifully refurbished carriage (all red plush seats, sparkling silver accents, and just a hint of lavender fragrance!), wearing a vibrant pink sequined tutu that perfectly captured the train's old-world charm. It was a pure symphony of colour and class!
Now, the journey to Mitcham itself was a whimsical experience. As the train chugged through the rolling countryside, I spotted an array of wildflowers dancing in the gentle breeze, the kind that make your soul sing a joyous tune! You know I couldn't resist snapping a quick pic (the light was just perfect!) before adding it to my Insta story – after all, my dear readers, life is a runway, and sharing the magic is what it's all about!
When I arrived in Mitcham, I was greeted by the most vibrant array of pastel colours. Think pretty pastel shades in all the best ways. I can't even begin to tell you how excited that made me. A tutu enthusiast like me feels right at home with a burst of pink.
And, oh my! Mitcham didn’t disappoint in the tutus department. The day began at a delightful vintage shop, where I discovered a glorious pink tulle masterpiece adorned with tiny sequins that literally winked at me. I snatched it up faster than you can say "triple pirouette," and can I just tell you? I can't wait to wear this stunner at my next gig!
Afterward, it was off to the Mitcham Farmers' Market! Now, if you think farmers' markets are just about fresh produce and local crafts, think again. Mitcham's market was a vibrant explosion of sights, sounds, and delightful surprises.
They say it’s good to start the day with something healthy, right? So I grabbed a handful of delicious strawberries (perfect for a healthy snack while tutuing, of course!) and chatted with the farmer about his amazing prize-winning courgettes. It turns out, we both had a shared love for all things pink!
My afternoon was spent with some serious, professional-level shopping in a little vintage boutique just a hop, skip, and jump away from the market. This adorable shop had an abundance of tulle! They practically begged for a fabulous pink tutu to be created. You know I can't resist a good bargain, especially when it's for a fabulous creation like that. Now, this may sound a tad over the top but after all, we’re talking tulle, and in my book, more is ALWAYS more!
After all my shopping, a little R&R was needed! It was a day that had certainly started off quite energetically! To escape the chaos (a.k.a. my amazing shopping finds!) I had to stop for a moment at the local Mitcham Lido for a relaxing swim in the pool! I mean who doesn't enjoy an elegant swan dive with a sparkly pink tutu? (Just kidding, I wouldn’t want to ruin it! My tutu would be dry clean only, darling!).
Once I had chilled out for a bit and took some photos of course, my day finally finished with a glorious supper at a traditional Italian restaurant just off the Mitcham Green. (Have I mentioned how lovely and full of colour the Green is! I am not a countryside type, but I am totally drawn to colour!). There was so much laughter, fantastic company, and you bet your bottom dollar they had my favourite tipple: sparkling rosé with just a hint of raspberry flavour. Delicious.
In all honesty, I am truly besotted with Mitcham. This quaint town charmed me with its delightful shops, its vibrant energy, and its kind, friendly people. It reminded me that adventure can be found in the most unexpected places.
But let's not forget the true highlight of any journey – sharing the joy of pink! Now, if you ask me, every single day should start with a twirl, a sprinkle of pink, and a big dose of "let's make the world a more colourful place." You don't even need a tutu (though let's be honest, a pink tutu always makes life more glamorous) just wear your best pink, or put on a touch of your favourite blush pink lipstick or find your pink power suit.

Lots of pink love,
