Bonjour, darlings! It's Emma, your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, back from another whirlwind adventure! This week, I'm waltzing straight into your lives from the magical city of lights, Paris!
I have to confess, arriving by Eurostar feels like stepping into a film! All those elegant French people gliding around the station in their chic outfits… sigh I adore Paris! It's the epitome of Parisian charm. The atmosphere, the romance, the fashion... it's utterly intoxicating!
But, I haven't let the French allure distract me from my true mission: conquering the world one pink tutu at a time! You can't be in Paris, darling, without visiting the iconic Galeries Lafayette! Imagine the most incredible selection of sparkling, beautiful things - shoes, handbags, dresses... oh, my heart just beats faster at the thought of it! It’s basically like stepping into a Parisian fairytale! I treated myself to a beautiful pale pink tutu with delicate hand-stitched flowers. The shopkeeper actually gasped in delight - you can always trust a true Parisian to appreciate a truly magnificent tutu!
This week, I’m not just about the shops, oh no! I’m indulging in some of Paris' finest ballet performances! Today, it’s a trip to the magnificent Palais Garnier for an unforgettable performance of Swan Lake. Just the name Swan Lake sends shivers down my spine. This production didn't disappoint - the costumes, the sets, the dancers... everything about it was pure magic! I actually caught a glimpse of the famed Bolshoi Ballet dancer, Natasha Volkov - she’s such an inspiration! I’ve even snuck in a few ballet classes here and there - nothing beats the thrill of a new pointe shoe and a barre class.
After all that swirling and twirling, of course, a good, old-fashioned Parisian café is a must. I just adore that effortless French elegance, with everyone enjoying a delicious pastry or cup of coffee. This is my favourite way to relax and people-watch - there's so much to see!
Did you know... It's the start of summer in Paris. June brings some of the most delightful festivals - including the Fête de la Musique, a city-wide celebration of music, which I'll be attending later this week.
This weekend, I'll be exploring the quaint Parisian neighbourhoods. Imagine quaint shops selling beautiful Parisian treasures, enchanting gardens bursting with fragrant flowers... It's all just so quintessentially Parisian! I'll keep you posted, darlings!
And let's not forget... Paris, darling, is about so much more than just sightseeing. It's about the feeling - that little thrill of romance and discovery that fills your heart and ignites your soul. It's about indulging your senses, and finding your inner Parisian, no matter what!
Oh, and of course, finding the most amazing pink tutu. The search never ends!
Until next time, darlings, keep twirling and keep shining!
Love, Emma
