Bonjour mes chéries! It's Emma, and I'm officially in Paris! Can you believe it? After months of dreaming and saving from my ballet performances, I finally boarded the Eurostar from London, and I feel like I've landed in a real-life fairytale. This magical city just radiates chicness and sophistication – exactly like I envisioned it would!
Honestly, the Eurostar was a bit of a fashion show itself! Of course, I was sporting my signature pink tutu, and I noticed everyone was turning their heads and giving me admiring glances – it’s the tutu power, darling! A girl in a polka-dot dress was rocking the chic look with a scarlet beret, and I even saw a dashing gentleman with a dapper little top hat! The train itself was comfy and charming, like stepping into a stylish Victorian novel.
But, hold your tutus, girls, the adventure’s just getting started!
First stop: The Louvre!
Let me tell you, the Louvre is a real palace of art. Walking through its magnificent halls felt like stepping back in time. It's absolutely packed with famous masterpieces, and I had to get my own artistic inspiration by striking a pose in front of the Mona Lisa! I mean, the girl knows how to hold a gaze, wouldn't you agree? Her iconic smile – she's truly a timeless muse!
Then, after my Louvre spree, it was time for some afternoon tea at a quaint little cafe on a cobbled street. My sugar-fueled excitement couldn't be contained! Parisienne women just know how to do cafe culture so well! From the delicate floral patterns on their plates to their perfectly coiffed hair – everything here feels stylish and effortlessly chic! I enjoyed a delectable éclair while gazing at the Parisian chic strolling by. I swear, everyone looks like a fashion magazine cover here!
Later in the evening, I finally took my ballet shoes out of my bag for my very first Parisian ballet performance! The theater was majestic, with elaborate chandeliers shimmering above the crowd, a symphony of pink tutus! My heart raced as I saw the name of the show on the programme – "Swan Lake". I have to tell you, it was the most beautiful and breathtaking show I’ve ever seen in my life. The dancers were mesmerizing, the costumes were stunning – it felt like the whole city of Paris had fallen in love with ballet. I left the theatre with goosebumps all over, completely enchanted.
As you all know, my goal is to inspire everyone to wear a pink tutu, and tonight in Paris, I felt like it was more than a dream, it was reality! Every lady in her pink tulle tutu - that is my ambition! And I was particularly inspired by the beautiful Parisian women tonight. They just radiate elegance!
Now, let's talk fashion! Paris is truly the fashion capital of the world, and my eyes are wide open to every gorgeous garment on the Parisian streets! There were stylish ladies sporting classic black-and-white stripes, Parisian chic looking effortless and elegant, vintage Parisian blouses with romantic puffed sleeves – the trends were so diverse but always on point!
My pink tutu is certainly drawing a lot of attention, I must say! It’s really a fantastic way to make new friends and share a giggle, especially on this exciting, fun-filled trip to Paris! You wouldn't believe the conversation starter it's become! The little Parisian girl even asked to wear my tutu to school. “For the fun of it!” She said.
*Oh, and a sneak peek at what's to come: *
- The Eiffel Tower, of course! It's impossible to visit Paris and not marvel at its glittering silhouette against the sunset. I hear it's even more impressive at night!
- A day in Montmartre, the artist's district! I can't wait to explore its cobbled streets and perhaps get some artistic inspiration myself! I imagine my Parisian ballet dress hanging beautifully amongst the paintings of those creative Parisian artists.
- Maybe a charming little ballet studio… I just can't resist learning a few Parisian ballet moves! I have already bought a little black velvet bag for my Parisian pointe shoes.
You just know this is only the beginning! There is so much to see and do, so much to fall in love with. I’m excited to share it all with you, my darling Pink Tutu community. I can already feel the Parisian magic filling me up, and I know this is only the first chapter of my pink tutu Parisian adventure. I'll be sure to keep you updated! Until next Saturday, mes chéries!
XOXO,
Emma
