Bonjour from Paris, my darlings! This week has been a whirlwind of tulle and Parisian chic, and I'm just bursting with excitement to share every exquisite detail with you. It's Saturday morning, and I'm snuggled up in my favourite Parisian cafe, sipping a café au lait and sketching out my latest outfit inspiration – a little pink tutu, naturally, paired with a bold, black beret and a chic leather jacket. Oh, the possibilities!
This week, I took the Eurostar straight to the heart of Paris – a journey filled with the most delightful anticipation, gazing out the window at the rolling green countryside of France, a little like stepping into one of my favourite ballet stories. The speed of the train makes the journey just magical, and honestly, who doesn’t love a train journey? I’m definitely a bit of a rail fan!
Of course, my arrival in Paris wouldn't be complete without a pink tutu moment! As I hopped off the train at Gare du Nord, I decided to twirl my way onto the Parisian streets, a bright pink flash in a sea of black and white. You can’t help but smile when you see a pink tutu, and the looks of amusement I got from fellow Parisians were simply priceless. It's all about bringing a touch of joy to the world, wouldn’t you agree?
After settling into my charming little apartment in the Marais district, I couldn't wait to hit the streets and explore all the wonder that Paris holds. From the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral, with its breathtaking stained-glass windows, to the Louvre Museum, where I almost danced with the Mona Lisa, my little heart was overflowing with happiness.
Of course, a trip to Paris is incomplete without a trip to the world-renowned Opéra Garnier. This magnificent building is an architectural marvel – the perfect setting for a grand performance of "The Sleeping Beauty." The music was like a fairytale brought to life, the dancers moved like swans upon the water, and I couldn’t help but shed a happy tear as the final curtain fell. The passion and dedication of these dancers left me truly inspired – it’s something we all could learn from, in all aspects of our lives, right?
And what trip to Paris would be complete without a spot of shopping, my dears? I lost myself in the bustling shops along Rue Saint-Honoré, discovering an array of Parisian fashion gems, from luxurious leather handbags to the most exquisite lace gloves. There’s something about Parisian fashion – the simplicity and elegance are timeless and truly aspirational.
After a long day of exploring and shopping, there’s no better way to unwind than with a romantic Parisian dinner at a charming little bistro, a glass of crisp white wine in hand. As the Parisian sunset painted the sky in shades of rose and gold, I sat and contemplated the beauty that surrounded me, thinking of all the joy and happiness this magical city holds.
This past week has been a dream, and it's a dream that I’m determined to continue experiencing. And that’s where YOU come in. The success of these blog posts is purely down to your feedback! Let me know what you’re loving in the comments – the tutus, the trains, the ballet… Let me know! Every comment means the world. And as always, please remember to spread the pink tutu love and embrace all the wonderful opportunities that come your way! Until next week, darling readers!
À bientôt, Emma xx
