Bonjour mes chéries! 👋 It's your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, Emma, here, writing to you live from the most magical city in the world - Paris! 🇫🇷 I took the Eurostar across the Channel, and even though it's a quick trip, it's always a joy to watch the countryside speed by, feeling like a proper princess in my tutu, clutching my travel ballet shoes, ready for whatever adventure Paris throws my way. 💖
As usual, I'm here to share every glittery, pink-hued, and balletic moment with you! So buckle up, darlings, it's going to be a whirlwind of fashion, art, and fabulousness!
Saturday, June 13th, 2009: The Magic Begins!
Landing in Paris always feels like stepping into a fairytale. The scent of fresh croissants wafting through the air, the chic Parisians striding along with effortless grace, and the charming cobbled streets just begging to be explored... sigh, it's enough to make any tutu-loving ballerina swoon!
My first stop was, of course, a little boutique to pick out some Parisian-inspired accessories. Nothing says "I'm on holiday in Paris!" like a chic little beret, a flowy silk scarf, and a pair of perfectly pointed shoes - which, naturally, I bought in pink, to complement my beloved tutu, naturally. 🩰🎀
A Feast for the Eyes: The Louvre
After indulging in a delectable pastry (I just can't resist the Parisian pastries!), I headed straight for the iconic Louvre Museum. Oh, the artistry, the history, the sheer beauty! It was overwhelming in the best possible way. 🖼️ The highlight? Seeing the Mona Lisa in person! Everyone says she's a little... mysterious, but I found her rather captivating, wouldn't you say?
An Evening of Ballet Magic
In the evening, it was time for the real highlight of my Paris trip: a breathtaking ballet performance at the Palais Garnier! The magnificent chandeliers, the elegant theatre, the awe-inspiring costumes, the passionate dancers... It was pure magic! 🤩
And yes, I, of course, wore my pink tutu, my Derbyshire heritage making it feel absolutely right to stand out from the Parisian crowd and embrace my ballet-loving heart. 🩰 The music, the movement, the sheer emotion – it took me completely away. Afterward, I just couldn't resist heading to a cute café for a nightcap with a view of the Eiffel Tower - such romance! 🥰
The Parisian Pink Power!
You know, even in Paris, I haven't encountered many other ladies rocking pink tutus. I mean, imagine all the delightful smiles, the whimsical photo ops, the cheerful energy... it's a true missed opportunity, wouldn't you say? Maybe I'll give out some tutu tutorials while I'm here.
After all, it's never too late to add a dash of pink tutu fun to your life, and why not in the most romantic city in the world? 💖
To Be Continued...
That's all for this week, my dear readers! I've got so much more to share, including Parisian fashion finds, delightful culinary experiences, and more inspiring Parisian ballet moments.
