Hello lovelies! It's Wednesday again, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu World blog post! ๐ โจ This week, my darlings, we're back on dear old Planet Earth, soaking up the delightful, utterly unique energy that this place holds. Let me tell you, it's a whole other world to travelling across the vastness of space, even with my sparkly spaceship! ๐ซ
This week, I've had a whirlwind of experiences. Imagine my delight, dear reader, when I was asked to perform at a fabulous ballet gala for the esteemed Derbyshire Ballet in the lovely town of Matlock. A truly fitting homecoming, and the audience was absolutely divine! My pink tutu, shimmering under the stage lights, made quite the impact! ๐ฅฐ๐ฉฐ
Speaking of Derbyshire, it's been a treat to be back in my beautiful home county. The hills are alive with...well, not really music (unless you count the bleating of sheep!), but with such beautiful colours. Think glorious emerald green valleys, and ochre brown peaks. It's so inspiring to be back amongst nature's beauty - perfect for sparking creativity, both for my ballet routines and my outfits! ๐๐
The ballet gala was an absolute dream. It had the most glamorous and chic audience I've seen in a long while. And speaking of glamorous, let's discuss the fashion! The ladies all had such exquisite style. Elegant floor-length gowns, perfectly tailored suits, the colours were so wonderfully bright! The gentleman looked very dapper, with impeccably cut suits in muted blues, navy, or charcoal - absolutely swish! I must say, it made me so very proud of my pink tutu; it felt like a bold statement in a sea of classic chic. After all, why shouldn't we express ourselves with a bit of whimsy? ๐
After the ballet, I of course had to indulge in a bit of shopping in Matlock. It's a town steeped in history, full of cute little shops - like something out of a picture postcard! I bought a stunning hat adorned with real pink silk roses - perfectly matching my pink tutu. And just as I was leaving the shop, what did I stumble upon? A gorgeous little vintage tutu, made with beautiful, soft peach satin, with a single sequined embellishment - such elegance! I can't wait to experiment with its ethereal feel! ๐โจ
While I'm still on Earth, I have to say, this world does get extremely busy, especially in a little town like Matlock. There was a lovely market filled with stalls overflowing with colourful produce. I picked up a bunch of the most fragrant lilies and a basket of the sweetest strawberries you ever did see! Oh, and the most incredible artisan honey! ๐๐ป๐ฏ
The town also hosted a grand wedding ceremony for a delightful couple. Their love for each other was simply heartwarming! I even snagged myself a lovely invitation for the reception, a swanky affair with a five-piece jazz band - all because they absolutely loved my performance and outfit! (It pays to wear a fabulous pink tutu, you know!) They really embraced my love for pink tutus and were particularly smitten by the "pink ballet" theme, and what was their wedding hashtag but #PinkTutuLove It was just such a fun touch - very fitting, don't you think? ๐๐โจ
Speaking of love and weddings, my heart feels as if it is brimming over with excitement for this coming Friday - my dear, dearest friend, Olivia, is getting married! She's also an avid tutu fan! Olivia has a classic black tutu that she wears on special occasions and for her wedding, I will be performing a ballet routine, dressed, of course, in my shimmering pink tutu, to the iconic waltz by Strauss. It's a small gesture, I know, but Olivia is so passionate about ballet, just as I am! ๐
All in all, it's been a lovely week filled with joy, friendship, and a bit of pink tulle magic! I hope my journey inspires you to wear what makes you feel amazing. Embrace those bold colours, the shimmering fabrics, the sparkly shoes, the fabulous accessories! Let your spirit shine through, my dear darlings! Life is far too short to be ordinary, isn't it? ๐๐โจ
