Pink Tutu Milan: #1084

Buongiorno! It’s Wednesday 16th March, and the sun is shining in Milan! I’ve already been exploring the city’s hidden nooks and crannies – with a bit of tutu-inspired shopping on the way, of course!

A Derbyshire Girl in Milan

Well, you probably guessed from my name – Emma – that I’m not originally from Milan! I'm from a quaint little town called Buxton in Derbyshire, England. You know, the rolling hills, Peak District, quaint cobblestone streets kind of place. A far cry from the stylish Milan streets!

But the journey to Milan was oh-so-lovely. The train trip from Buxton was truly spectacular, with those charming old carriages. I felt like I was starring in my own fairytale! Then arriving in Milan, I couldn’t resist taking a tram. It was like a beautiful ballet itself, with its red leather seats, flashing lights, and the bustling energy of the city. The streets just burst with so much life, and everyone looks so effortlessly stylish!

A Love Affair with TutUs and Performances

It wouldn’t be a Pink Tutu Milan post without some ballet! This week, I have a fantastic treat planned: the world-famous Teatro alla Scala – Milan’s grand opera house – is showing La Traviata tonight. I’ve already done some preliminary outfit planning, of course! A pale pink tulle tutu with a delicate ivory lace top seems perfect for this magnificent performance. I can't wait to be enveloped by the grandeur of this incredible building.

Milan, A Shopping Paradise for Tutus & All Things Pretty!

While Milan is well-known for fashion, you’d be surprised to find that ballet attire also plays a central role. So, naturally, shopping in Milan has been an absolute delight. This city is a paradise for everything girly and chic! From beautifully crafted pink tulle to sparkly rhinestones and delicately-designed hair accessories, the stores here are overflowing with inspiration. I'm on the lookout for that perfect accessory that can bring an extra touch of glamor to my outfit for tonight's performance.

Let's Talk Style

While tutus have been my go-to for this trip, it's not always about wearing the tutu! Today, I felt the urge for something a little more casual but equally stylish. I’m absolutely in love with a flowy, bright-pink floral dress I picked up in one of the hidden corners of Milan. The delicate details and the playful vibe of the dress make it so much fun to wear! I love how fashion and dance seem to blend together perfectly in this beautiful city.

And More Shows!

Milan is an absolute mecca for the arts. After the Opera tonight, I'm looking forward to visiting the Pinacoteca di Brera tomorrow, a stunning art museum filled with magnificent paintings. I'm always inspired by the beauty of the human form and art – both serve as constant reminders of the delicate beauty in the world!

Don't Forget to Share the Tutu Love!

Speaking of beauty, I'm so excited to see so many people sharing the #PinkTutuMilan love on social media. It's absolutely amazing to see the joy and confidence people feel when wearing a tutu – no matter their age! Remember, confidence comes from within.

It’s really special for me to share my adventures with you, my dear readers! Don't forget to visit www.pink-tutu.com to follow along! I post my Milan adventures every Monday – there’s so much more to come! Until then, remember, even in your own little world, always find time to twirl!

Ciao bella!
