#PinkTutuBlogParis - Saturday 2008-12-06 Exploring Paris

Bonjour, darlings!

This is post number 467 of my Parisian adventures on www.pink-tutu.com - so strap yourselves in for another exciting dose of pink tutu-filled Parisian delights!

As usual, I'm writing to you from a cozy Parisian cafe, a warm latte warming my hands and a scrumptious pain au chocolat tempting my tastebuds. This time, I'm even more excited than usual, as I arrived in Paris just yesterday via Eurostar. The sleek, speedy train ride is a perfect way to arrive in this magical city - a journey full of anticipation and Parisian dreams.

Now, you all know I live for the thrill of exploring new places. Paris never fails to mesmerize me with its iconic landmarks, hidden courtyards, and charming cafes. This time, I’m focusing on a mix of classic Parisian sights and lesser-known treasures – a blend of romance and adventure, all with my trusty pink tutu in tow!

So let’s dive into the whirlwind that is my Parisian weekend.

After hopping off the Eurostar at Gare du Nord, the scent of freshly baked bread and the rhythmic hum of the city's energy immediately swept over me. The iconic architecture of Paris – think grand avenues, intricate details, and buildings adorned with wrought-iron balconies – instantly took my breath away. There’s just something so utterly enchanting about Paris! It feels like you’re stepping into a fairytale, and with my twirling pink tutu and my head held high, I'm certainly ready to make some magical memories.

Of course, a Parisian adventure wouldn’t be complete without a touch of luxury, so I whisked myself straight to a fabulous hotel with the most exquisite decor. As always, I’ve ensured it's in a prime location – right near the Eiffel Tower, no less! From my window, I can gaze out at the iconic silhouette, lit up against the evening sky - what a stunning vista! Just the perfect place to channel those dreamy, romantic vibes!

I always pack my wardrobe with my trusty tutu - you all know this! It’s such a great way to add a playful touch to my outfit and stands out from the Parisian crowd (you’ve gotta be bold to wear a pink tutu in Paris!), I also packed a chic collection of outfits perfect for the Parisian scene – from flowy, romantic dresses to chic blouses and statement skirts. The trick is to balance that Parisian elegance with a splash of my signature pink – a touch of the girly alongside the Parisian chic. Paris is one of the ultimate destinations for finding stunning clothes and accessories – a shopaholic's paradise! So you can be sure my bank balance is getting a workout! I already have my sights set on a charming vintage boutique near the Louvre. The thrill of the hunt for the perfect Parisian treasure, with its beautiful historical textures, never disappoints!

Speaking of historical treasures, you all know how much I adore visiting iconic museums like the Louvre, but I also love to discover smaller galleries with unique artistic finds. I always have my notebook and sketching pad at the ready to jot down ideas and inspiration from the artistic masterworks that Paris offers. You never know where your next masterpiece might be born, even if it is a beautiful ballet choreography to wear on a Parisian stage!

Tonight, I'm going to see a special ballet show at the Theatre du Chatelet - something with a modern twist, from what I've heard, with a vibrant, eclectic set and an imaginative narrative that's a little bit whimsical and a lot enchanting. I can already feel the excitement building within me, the magical anticipation of a night of swirling pirouettes and enchanting storytelling.

Paris, for me, is the ultimate source of inspiration - for my art, my music, my life! I’m so happy I get to share all these adventures with you. And of course, every post wouldn’t be complete without a few shots of myself in my trusty pink tutu – the ultimate reminder to live life to the fullest with a touch of colour and whimsy. You never know what wonders a little bit of pink magic can conjure up!

And what’s your favourite colour? I want to hear from you - leave a comment below, telling me what makes your heart flutter with happiness!

Catch you next Saturday with more of my Paris adventures, darlings! Until then, happy twirling and remember - even on a dreary Tuesday, embrace a touch of the unexpected - life's more fun that way!

Bisous, Emma
