Hey lovely lot! Emma here, your friendly neighbourhood tutu enthusiast, signing in live from Kettering, a town so charming I could almost eat it, sprinkles and all! 😉
You know how I am, always up for an adventure, and this week's escapade involved a rather thrilling train journey, the sort that makes you want to wear a big pink hat and sing show tunes out the window (which, you know, I might have done!). The destination? A weekend of ballet, obviously! It's not every day you get to immerse yourself in the world of tutus, so I seized the opportunity with both hands and, you guessed it, my favourite pink one!
But let's rewind a little…
This week's tutu inspiration was all thanks to a delightful Italian creation that found its way into my wardrobe recently. It’s a vision of sunshine yellow and baby pink tulle, delicate enough to float on a summer breeze yet structured enough to hold its own against the most demanding plié. You could say it's the perfect blend of playful and sophisticated.
Oh, and have I told you about my latest passion? Wildlife spotting! It’s become a real addiction, seeing all the amazing creatures this beautiful world has to offer. While I was travelling up to Kettering, a cute little deer darted across the tracks just as our train was pulling into the station. My heart nearly leapt out of my chest! 🦌
So, where was I? Oh yes, Kettering! A quick hop and a skip (or a hop on a train, as the case may be) from my Derbyshire home. The ballet itself was simply stunning, featuring the most elegant movements and costumes that were so beautifully crafted. It felt like being transported to another time, a world of romance and grace, where even the smallest pirouette tells a story. The highlight of the show, you ask? Well, let's just say I couldn't take my eyes off this dancer's stunning emerald green tutu. Seriously, emerald green and pink? They’re practically made for each other! 💚💖
Of course, no trip to a ballet town is complete without a spot of shopping. And Kettering, oh, how it delivers! I stumbled upon this little treasure trove of a boutique crammed full of tutus in all shapes, colours and sizes. My inner tutu-obsessed child went wild! You should have seen me, carefully inspecting each and every one, asking myself: "Do I need this? Yes, of course I do!" 💃🏻
So, as the weekend draws to a close, and my pink tutu bag hangs happily beside my suitcase, I'm left with a heart brimming with inspiration and memories. It's all just another chapter in this beautiful life of mine - one that involves twirling, travelling, and sharing my passion for ballet with anyone who will listen.
Now, tell me, what are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a dance in your steps, a pink in your heart, and maybe, just maybe, a wildlife sighting of your own!
Sending you all a flurry of pink kisses from a Kettering-kissed Emma,
