#PinkTutuBlogLondon Friday 2025-09-12 Exploring London

Hello darlings! It's Emma, your favourite pink tutu-clad travel enthusiast, back with another fabulous adventure. This week, I’ve swapped the rolling hills of Derbyshire for the bustling streets of London.

Remember that delightful performance at the Derby Theatre a few weeks back? The money from that gorgeous ‘Sleeping Beauty’ finally landed in my bank account and guess what? It’s already taken me on the most magical train journey to London! There’s just something so special about those journeys, especially in the peak autumn season when the leaves are a blaze of glorious reds and golds, with those gorgeous rolling countryside views zipping by my window.

But let’s not get sidetracked! The real highlight of this week’s adventure? Well, it’s a Friday and that means a #PinkTutuBlogLondon update for all of you! I simply had to get out and about, experiencing all the London delights – especially in a fabulous new pink tutu I snagged at a delightful vintage boutique in Chesterfield, just before I jumped on the train. This particular tulle masterpiece is a soft peach pink with intricate hand-stitched floral embroidery and I’m absolutely in love with it!

So let’s dive straight in, darlings! This week, we’re hopping between the chicest boutiques, soaking in some truly magnificent theatrical performances and just indulging in the sheer beauty of London town. Oh, and of course, there's going to be some serious food and tea time indulgence – no pink tutu day is complete without a touch of poshness, now is it?

Right, first things first – my fabulous tutu called for a new London-worthy wardrobe, so we started the day at the exquisite Liberty department store. Let me tell you, it's like a grown-up dolls’ house, packed full of exquisitely crafted dresses and the most divine floral prints you’ve ever seen! It truly felt like I stepped onto the stage of a vintage musical – everything was so gloriously extravagant and charming, with those signature Liberty floral prints dancing before my eyes.

My bank balance screamed at me to leave with just one delicate, floral silk scarf – the perfect accessory to a London ballet-themed look. It’s a beautiful vintage style print and will add the most enchanting touch to my evening attire.

Now, a day in London wouldn't be complete without indulging in some magnificent theatre and dance. This Friday was absolutely packed with dazzling ballet and stage performances. And yes, dear reader, this ballerina’s little black book has been strategically marking off those coveted dates!

Firstly, we're talking The Royal Opera House for an enchanting evening of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. The Royal Ballet - you just have to experience their majesty and grandeur at least once in your life! They make classical ballet come to life in a truly magical way, making the entire performance a breathtaking spectacle of artistry and technique. There's no way you could possibly leave without being moved! I swear, every single time I see Swan Lake, I get tears in my eyes! That stunning finale… just simply breathtaking.

Afterward, the most amazing thing happened! As I was wandering out of the Covent Garden theatre, a charming street performer popped up right in front of me - an absolutely divine street ballet dancer. They were amazing! It just goes to show that beauty can be found in the most unexpected of places! We’ve got so much raw talent here in London. I mean, we have The Royal Ballet – which is basically our national treasure. I honestly can’t get enough of seeing those beautiful, powerful bodies glide across the stage.

I spent the rest of the evening, as any respectable tutu-wearing ballet aficionado does, tucked away in my favourite comfy corner in a quaint little café with a lovely pot of English Breakfast tea, jotting down my #PinkTutuBlogLondon adventures. It was a delightful day, my darlings, but not yet time for this little ballerina to hit the hay!

This week's #PinkTutuBlogLondon adventures took me to a vibrant and enchanting London, full of beautiful sights, sounds and – of course – ballet performances! My aim in life, you know, is to spread the power of pink and ballet around the world, one tutu-clad journey at a time! I honestly believe that putting on a pink tutu instantly fills you with a little bit of joy.

I’ll leave you all with one thought before signing off - don't ever be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and embrace life's simple pleasures. Sometimes, the smallest things can make the biggest difference. I think I’m going to find a pink tutu and ballet-themed cafe in Derbyshire to inspire those around me, even when I’m not traveling around London!

Remember, you are all absolutely beautiful and unique, and don’t forget to wear your pink tutu with pride! And make sure to catch up with me next Friday, for another fantastic journey in the pink!

Until then, twirl on, my lovely readers, twirl on!
