Happy New Year, darlings! Can you believe it's 2014 already? This year has flown by, filled with pirouettes, pliés and a whole lot of pink. I'm writing to you today from sunny (and slightly chilly) Milan, where I'm ringing in the new year in true Pink Tutu style!
As you all know, I'm absolutely smitten with this city. The energy is electric, the fashion is outrageous, and the architecture is breathtaking! Of course, no trip to Milan is complete without indulging in a little retail therapy. I mean, when the city is practically dripping with fabulous shops, how can you resist? 🛍️
This week, I've been bouncing around the streets like a sugarplum fairy, discovering hidden treasures in vintage boutiques and getting my hands on some stunning new tutus. I even managed to snag a few pairs of designer shoes (on sale, of course!). Honestly, Milan is the kind of city that makes you feel like you could conquer the world!
A Tale of Two Trams 🚃
Milan is a city that really embraces its public transportation system. I've spent the last few days flitting around town on its trams, taking in the city's sights and enjoying the buzzing energy.
Remember those cute little trams with the big windows? The ones that wind their way through narrow streets and offer incredible views? That's my favourite. On one particularly exciting journey, I had the best seat in the house – right next to the window, watching the city roll by. It felt like a ballet in itself! 🩰
However, there's another type of tram, a bigger one, that seems to dominate the main arteries. It's not as charming, and frankly, it makes my little pink tutu feel a bit lost in the shuffle. I think a bit more tulle in this city wouldn't go amiss! 😂
New Year's Eve: The Ballet Edition 🎉
So, what does a Pink Tutu do on New Year's Eve in Milan? You guessed it – a ballet show! I'm lucky enough to have landed a ticket to see a stunning performance at Teatro alla Scala, one of the most famous opera houses in the world. The program was divine, featuring a mixture of classical ballets and a modern, contemporary piece that truly captured the vibrant spirit of Milan.
Of course, I wouldn't dream of going to a ballet in anything other than my best pink tutu. This one's a delicate chiffon with hand-sewn embellishments, and let me tell you, it stole the show. I received compliments galore from fellow ballet lovers and even a couple of very elegant Milanese gentlemen. (Did I mention they were both very tall and very handsome? Perhaps a story for another time… 😉)
Pink Tutu for All! 💖
This trip has reinforced my belief that every single person on this planet should experience the magic of ballet and, yes, wear a pink tutu. Ballet is for everyone, and its beauty can transform any occasion, whether it's a casual walk around town or a night at the opera house. And wearing a pink tutu? Well, that simply adds an extra dose of joy to everything! It makes you feel like a princess, a superhero, and a dancing dream all at the same time. What could be more magical than that?
The Year Ahead: Dreaming in Pink
2015 promises to be another whirlwind year filled with ballet, fashion, and exciting new adventures. I've already started planning a few trips, including a visit to Paris (where I hear the ballet scene is positively fantastic!), and I've got a bunch of new pink tutu designs in the works.
