Bonjour mes chĆ©rie! Itās Emma here, reporting live from the most magical city on earth ā Paris! I'm already giddy with excitement from my Eurostar journey, which felt more like a romantic carriage ride than a train trip.
This week, I'm channeling the elegance of the Parisian chic and it wouldn't be a Pink Tutu Blog without a touch of pink, of course. This weekend, my tutu of choice is a stunning pink tulle number with layers of fluffy pink lace that swish with every graceful step. The perfect Parisian tutu if I do say so myself!
A Week of Ballet and Bows
As usual, Iāve been packing my week full of fun activities! This week has been filled with an absolutely dazzling ballet performance at the Palais Garnier, a delightful āBallet in the Streetsā workshop where I twirled amongst a beautiful bunch of locals in a vibrant pink square, and an afternoon shopping at the beautiful Galeries Lafayette for a stunning new pink feather boa, perfect for adding some Parisian flair to my look! I simply adore the vibrant energy of Parisian life!
A Journey to Remember
Now, Iām not just here for the ballet! Oh, no! This trip is all about embracing Parisian culture! So, yesterday, I decided to take a leisurely carriage ride through the streets of the Marais. Just me, a handsome chestnut steed, and the city's breathtaking architectural wonders unfolding before me. Iāve got to admit, I think I may have looked like a scene from a ballet, in my flowing tutu and wide-brimmed straw hat. The other pedestrians on the street were mesmerised!
Saturday Splendour
And speaking of breathtaking, this weekend, the weather forecast predicts sunshine and warm skies. A perfect Parisian day! My Saturday agenda? Well, itās already been planned meticulously, of course! First, a morning stroll to a lovely boulangerie for pastries, a visit to a local market where I shall attempt to bargain for the most exquisite Parisian roses, and then a delicious traditional Parisian afternoon picnic at the Jardin du Luxembourg with some French poetry and perhaps some Chopin on my phone for ambiance. My perfect Parisian day!
A City that Enchants
You know, sometimes itās difficult to remember that Iām not back home in Derbyshire. The moment I arrived in Paris, the cobbled streets, the elegant architecture, the bustling cafes and markets all reminded me of stepping into one of the ballets I love to perform in. In fact, this whole trip is like an enchanting ballet itself! A trip full of wonder and grace!
Pink Tutu Power
But itās not just Paris that has me twirling with delight! It's the power of pink and the enchantment of the tutu that make every journey a magical one. So, to my dearest readers, go on, be bold! Be your most dazzling self! And why not add a little pink and a whole lot of tutu to your own wardrobe, whether youāre in London, New York, or even the magical city of Paris itself!
Until next Saturday! Au revoir, mes amies!
