Ciao, darling! It’s Emma here, your resident pink tutu aficionado, beaming from sunny Milan! I can’t believe it’s Wednesday already – the days are whizzing by faster than a fouetté, darling. My, oh my, it’s such a joy to be in this beautiful city! Milan is so chic, it could wear a tutu and still pull it off (well, perhaps not a pink one, but who am I to judge?).
The Pink Tutu Journey Continues!
This week, my loves, has been a whirl of glamour and tutus. I’ve had a ballet show in Modena, the lovely town I fell head over heels for last week – that’s my usual Tuesday routine, a performance, a new town. The train ride there was divine, such lovely countryside views – my tutu swirled happily in the breeze from the window!
And let’s talk about Modena! What a delightful spot. It feels like stepping back in time, but with a modern twist. I found the most divine little tea shop hidden away in a cobblestone street, and their cakes were to die for! You know me, I can’t resist a spot of afternoon tea anywhere I go.
Ballet Bliss!
The performance itself was magical, darlings! A stunning rendition of ‘Giselle,’ with such delicate, fluid movements – it felt like poetry in motion! And the costumes, oh my! Exquisite! This show was certainly worth a spot of train travel for! The audiences here adore ballet and gave us such a warm reception, I felt my heart do a pirouette! I'm lucky to be able to follow this path - ballet is more than my passion - it's my way of life! And when you combine my passion with travelling, you get the most beautiful mix.
Pink Power in Milan
Today, I’m back in Milan, exploring all the fabulous fashion haunts, the grand buildings, and of course, sampling the most delectable gelato – just to fuel my pirouettes, of course. I'm actually getting quite accustomed to the tram and subway systems here - quite good at finding my way around! I did almost fall over onto a businessman's suit on my way to buy an absolutely gorgeous cashmere cardigan, but that's what happens when you are wearing a fluffy tutu in a hurry! He seemed pretty oblivious.
This week has already been brimming with pink inspiration - just yesterday, I saw a beautiful pink Vespa zip past. My oh my, wouldn't it be divine to zip through Milan on a Vespa, the wind whipping through my tutu?! Perhaps a future pink tutu goal!
Milan is Calling...
Milan, you know, is a feast for the senses, and you don't even need a tutu to feel its magic, although let’s be honest, one definitely enhances the experience! Milan is all about beauty, elegance, and creativity, and it resonates with my inner tutu soul.
I’m planning to take in a couple of ballet classes here while I'm in town - something I just can't resist. It's a chance to perfect my arabesques, to get those glutes burning - the ideal way to spend a Tuesday! And of course, you can bet there’ll be a splash of pink on my ballet shoes for the occasion – my way of showing these fashionable Milanese just who the real fashion icon is! They might wear all the chic designer clothes and expensive leather goods, but they don't have tutus. Oh well!
Sharing the Love for Tutus!
So there you have it, darling! Another whirlwind week in my pink tutu travels.
Don’t forget, I love hearing from you, dear readers. Have you worn a pink tutu lately? What's your favourite pink item? Is there any colour more magical? I do not think so!
Keep spreading the pink tutu love!
Emma
P.S. Be sure to check back in next week, same time, same place for another installment of "Pink Tutu Milan!" I'm thinking maybe a museum adventure! I might even do a quick vlog if I can get some internet - but don't get too excited!
