Well hello my gorgeous darlings, and welcome back to another #PinkTutuBlogParis update! It's me, Emma, your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, bringing you a heap of Parisian glamour, romance, and (of course) all things pink!
Today, Iām practically skipping with excitement. You see, after a whirlwind performance back in Derbyshire, I finally hopped aboard the EuroStar, making my way to the enchanting City of Lights! The journey itself was a treat. Nothing beats a scenic train ride, especially when it involves a good book, a delicious cuppa, and maybe even a little bit of tutu twirling (within the confines of my carriage, of course!).
Now, Paris has a certain magic, a vibrant energy that sets it apart. Itās like stepping into a beautiful film; the cobblestone streets, the grand boulevards, the charming cafesā¦ the whole thing just takes my breath away. But this trip is about so much more than just the scenery. Paris is a melting pot of artistry, fashion, and sheer inspiration.
This weekend, I'm on a mission: to embrace every Parisian charm and soak up all the culture this wonderful city offers!
Todayās Adventures: Ballet, Bubbles & Boutiques
My morning started with a bit of ballet therapy at the charming "Studio L'ƩlƩgance". I'll confess, the first pointe shoe pirouette on this unfamiliar floor had me questioning my graceful skills. But the magic of Parisian dance studios and a quick warm-up later, my movements became smoother than a hot chocolate on a chilly autumn day. It was so inspiring, you wouldn't believe!
And what's a trip to Paris without some bubbles? After class, I treated myself to a perfectly pink glass of champagne at the iconic LadurƩe. Surrounded by macarons and Parisian chic, I sipped my bubbly and dreamed of tutus, Parisian nights, and the next ballet show on my list. It was pure bliss!
Speaking of bliss, I canāt possibly leave Paris without some serious shopping therapy! Todayās stop? Le Bon MarchĆ©. My little ballerina heart nearly burst when I stepped inside. Imagine, a world of exquisite fabrics, elegant clothes, andā¦ oh yesā¦ an entire floor dedicated to the art of dance. It's like a ballerina's dream come true! I couldnāt resist snagging a few little treasures, a sparkly pink hair clip, and a gorgeous silk scarf to wear on my next ballet performance ā imagine how exquisite it will look on stage!
Paris By Night: The Magic Begins
As evening approaches, Iām getting ready for a magical ballet performance at the Palais Garnier. Itās āSwan Lakeā, one of my all-time favourites! I can already feel the magic building: the swirling tutus, the grand music, the stunning choreography. And yes, of course, I'll be wearing a beautiful pink tutu!
I promise to tell you all about it in next week's post! After the show, thereās more Parisian magic planned ā maybe a delightful dinner at a charming bistro (with an elegant pink wine, of course), followed by some starlight strolls along the Seine.
Paris is truly a city for dreaming, and for me, that dream involves a pink tutu! I'm excited to share more of my Parisian adventures with you. Until next time, darlings, remember: Lifeās too short for beige ā always wear pink and twirl on!
