Hey lovelies!
It's your girl Emma, back with another post from your favourite pink-tutu-clad travel blogger! Today, I'm buzzing because I've just landed in London! The big smoke! The city of lights! And of course, the city of… well, actually, the city of ballet is what I'm really here for! 🤩
For those of you who don't know (is anyone new here?! Welcome!), I'm Emma, and I'm absolutely obsessed with everything ballet. That means pirouettes, plies, and all things tutus – and did I mention my love for pink?! My whole world is a bit of a swirling, twirling pink dream! 💖
So, why London, you ask? Well, my dear readers, this city is just bursting at the seams with ballet magic! The Royal Opera House, the English National Ballet, and so many incredible smaller companies – it's a ballet haven! 🩰
And I couldn't possibly come to London without a new tutu, right? I've got a rather fabulously flamboyant, bubblegum-pink number waiting for me at Harrods, and I'm just itching to get it on. 🎀
My travel to London was half the fun. I always try to make my journeys an adventure. This time, I decided to go old-school and take the train. It felt utterly romantic, with the countryside whizzing by and the sunshine streaming through the windows. And wouldn't you know it, I even spotted a family of deer by the side of the track! 😍 The wild side of my soul just loves these impromptu moments of nature.
Now, let's talk about my first night in London. I made a beeline for the National Theatre – they're currently performing "Romeo and Juliet", which is a masterpiece I absolutely had to see. It was captivating, heartbreaking, and thrilling all at once! I even caught a glimpse of the legendary Kenneth Branagh himself in the audience – talk about fan-girling! 😱
Afterwards, I wandered the cobbled streets, admiring the gorgeous old buildings, with their twinkling lights. This city feels so full of history and secrets, and I just love that. 🌃
One of my biggest loves in London (apart from the ballet, of course!) is exploring the independent boutiques. They're like treasure troves of vintage fashion, art, and unique homeware. Yesterday, I found a beautiful pink porcelain ballerina that I had to snag for my collection! 🎁
Speaking of pink, have you heard about the "Pink Tutu Project"? I've started this campaign to encourage everyone to embrace the pink tutu and, you guessed it, try out ballet! Why pink? Because it's playful, fun, and frankly, it makes everyone look and feel fabulously feminine! And ballet is about confidence, creativity, and pushing your boundaries – all while having an absolute blast! 💖🩰
So, join the pink tutu movement! Share your twirling pics on social media, use the hashtag #PinkTutuProject, and let's spread some joy and ballet love across the world! 🥰
And before I sign off, I've got another super-exciting adventure planned for today: I'm heading to a ballet class at the Royal Academy of Dance in Covent Garden. 🩰 I'll be sharing all the juicy details in my next post.
But for now, my lovelies, I'm off to get ready. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from your London-based ballet fanatic! 💕
Love,
Emma www.pink-tutu.com
