Ciao, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing ballerina, Emma, here, fresh from a whirlwind trip to Milan, the city that truly understands the magic of a twirl. This was my second trip to the fashion capital of Italy and this time around, I brought a whole suitcase of pink tutus, because darling, let’s face it: when you're in a city bursting with creativity and colour, a touch of pink just seems to elevate everything.
For those of you who haven't been, Milan is an absolute treat. From the majestic Duomo to the stylish streets, it's a city that captures your imagination. The first time I came, I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of fashion. But this time, armed with my pink tutu power, I embraced it!
And my adventure started the moment I hopped on the tram, a classic way to explore the city! I love the feeling of the wind in my hair as we glide past chic shops and historic squares, a pink tutu swirling alongside.
A Tutu-licious Tour of Milan's Hidden GemsMy itinerary this week was a perfect blend of culture, fashion, and lots of tutu-twirling. My mission was to find hidden gems in Milan, the kind that a true ballerina appreciates.
I discovered a charming little dance studio tucked away near the Teatro alla Scala - imagine, my pink tutu amongst the swirling leotards and dancing shoes! It was like being back in the rehearsal room.
And, let’s be honest, shopping was a definite highlight. This city is like a giant candy shop for a ballerina! I found the most stunning pair of pointe shoes at a little boutique in the Navigli district - you just wouldn't believe the sparkle! Of course, I bought a new tutu too - it’s practically my civic duty!
Ballet Beneath the Stars 💫On Wednesday evening, I finally got to see a real Italian ballet performance. The Teatro alla Scala, that’s where I saw "Giselle," a classic. I love the way a classic like this brings together the grand elegance of classical ballet and the rich story telling of an opera.
But here's a little secret - I wasn't just in the audience watching. I was chosen to join in a special flashmob before the show, wearing a custom-made pink tutu with a unique design. I was like a beautiful little butterfly dancing on the grand stage. It was exhilarating! My fellow tutu dancers, the applause of the audience, the glow of the spotlights. Pure magic!
Pink Tutu Power!After a magical day at the theatre, it was time to reflect. This is exactly what I love about travelling and dancing. I mean, who would have thought I’d find myself performing a spontaneous dance in Milan? I am so very fortunate!
And while I’ve always thought of myself as just an ordinary girl from Derbyshire, I realise now that a pink tutu can truly unlock a magical world. I am a pink tutu ambassador, spreading the message of joy, colour, and twirling power all across the world!
Coming Up Next Week:My pink tutu travels are taking me to Venice next week! It’s known for it's beauty, so it will be fun to share all the details. I hear the canals are a great spot to try a few pirouettes. If you have any tips or requests, don’t hesitate to send a message on the pink-tutu.com website.
Until next week, darlings, stay fabulous and remember - pink tutus are for everyone!
