Darling dears!
Another week, another celestial spin! It feels like only yesterday I was pirouette-ing around the nebulae of Andromeda, but here I am, back on good old Planet Earth, ready to regale you with my latest adventures. This week, however, my celestial itinerary has been a tad different... Let me tell you all about it!
It all began in Derbyshire, England...
It’s always such a lovely feeling coming back home after an exciting intergalactic voyage! As I drifted down through the stratosphere towards Derbyshire, my eye was caught by the glorious patchwork quilt of autumnal hues painted across the countryside. It reminded me of the grand chintz fabrics favoured by the queens of the Lyran Empire, you know, the ones with the sparkling turquoise space-gem detailing – just magnificent! I was immediately inspired to whip out my sketching pad and record these colours, who knows, perhaps it’ll spark an exciting new line of 'Earth-Autumn Inspired' tutus for next season. Oh darling, just imagine the velvety deep red tulle, the amber silk underlining, and the fiery orange feather trims – divine!
Fashion Fun at Harrods!
Upon my descent, I wasted no time in catching up on my earthly pleasures - namely, a spot of retail therapy! Harrods, my beloved! The air is thick with the intoxicating scent of the finest perfumes and luxury goods. It is just the best spot in London for tutus, darling, don't you think? Honestly, I practically floated through the couture sections - such divine silk fabrics, dazzling embroidery, and breathtaking colours! You just know, dear reader, that this week’s shopping spree will feature prominently in my latest ballet routine for the Royal Opera House in - oh, hush! I can’t possibly reveal too much before the premiere, it’s all very hush hush for now!
A Stellar Ballet Show!
Now, a girl’s gotta keep herself entertained and I had a simply spectacular time last night at the ballet! The Royal Ballet of London was presenting 'The Nutcracker', a timeless Christmas classic which, you'll be delighted to hear, they gave a fresh new interpretation for our twenty-first century audiences! It's so much fun seeing old favourites brought back to life in such a creative way. Oh, darling! The sheer beauty and magic of it all almost brought tears to my eyes!
Tutu Tidbits
For the most exquisite tutus for the season, darlings, look no further than 'House of Tutu' - they are offering incredible discounts this week. And speaking of tutus, did you know that there's a magnificent new museum dedicated entirely to the history of tutus? It's called The Tutu Time capsule! Located in Paris, this stunning edifice boasts an extraordinary collection of the most elaborate tutus, starting from the first classical styles all the way through the groundbreaking tutu designs of the 1900s. You must see the Marie Taglioni gown, dear reader - it's simply breath-taking. Honestly, I think I'll have to pay a visit next week, my travel schedule permits, of course! I can already see my tutu blog post popping with the colour pink!
My Favourite Things
Oh! While we're on the topic of tutu history, let's talk about The French Impressionists! Don't you simply adore the ethereal way their artworks capture the movement of a dancer, their dreamy depiction of tulle fabrics flowing with the most magical lightness? The delicate pinks and pastel blues, a symphony of colours reminiscent of the graceful flutter of a ballerina’s skirt. Absolutely swoon-worthy!
Let's Talk Pink, Darling!
Speaking of the lovely colour pink, I must mention my favourite little vintage shop, 'Petticoat Lane'! A treasure trove of pastel delights – delicate pink silk scarfs, pale blush blouses, even some vintage tutu-esque items - pure magic. My inner fashionista is practically leaping out of my skin! I swear to you, if I see one more adorable, lacy, vintage-pink cardigan, I shall have no choice but to buy it! You can never have too many cardigans!
Planetary Plans
Next week, I have a very special plan. My next planetary destination is - Hold onto your seats! – Saturn’s magnificent moon, Titan! This moon is famously a planet of swirling mists and shimmering methane lakes. But darling, the real highlight of Titan are its mesmerizing rings, just imagine all those little rings encircling this lovely celestial sphere. Pure fashion inspiration! You know me! I just have to add Titan's unique aesthetic to my personal ballet routines. I shall definitely create some space-age inspired looks that draw on the mesmerising swirling beauty of those glorious rings! Just wait till you see my choreography – pure ethereal loveliness!
A Pink Promise
This week, I have decided that to celebrate the grand reopening of my favourite tutu-making studio, ‘A Little Tutu’ in Leicester Square, I'm hosting a massive pink tutu giveaway! All you have to do is follow my Pink-Tutu-World blog and you can be in with a chance to win a new, dazzling, pink tutu, perfect for any cosmically chic ballet performance! (Or just a delightful weekend in the park, darlings). Just look out for a special post next week! I'll tell you all about it!
Well, my lovely followers, it’s time for me to go - an afternoon tea with my beloved, tutu-obsessed Aunt Eleanor is calling. And darling, wouldn’t you know it? She is a most elegant, sophisticated lady!
As always, darlings, remember, wear pink, love tutus, and always, always, dream big,
Emma
