#PinkTutuBlogParis - Saturday 2014-01-04 Exploring Paris

Saturday, 4th January 2014

Darling readers, I’m so excited to be back in Paris! I’ve just arrived on the Eurostar, whizzing through the countryside, my heart already aflutter with excitement. As the train trundled into Gare du Nord, I could barely contain my glee – the sheer Parisian magic that filled the air was positively intoxicating! I’ve got a feeling this is going to be a trip for the ages!

Paris just draws you in. Every corner whispers secrets and romantic notions, and I, a firm believer in fairy tales, have always been in awe of its charm. As a Derbyshire girl, there’s something about the romance and elegance of French culture that resonates deeply with my soul. The soft hues of Parisian cafes, the cobbled streets, the chic Parisians gliding by – it’s all so delightful!

This trip is all about immersing myself in the beautiful ballet world of Paris! You see, the ballet is not just a hobby for me, darling. It's an obsession, an escape, a dream. And there’s no place that breathes ballet magic more than Paris.

So naturally, this Parisian adventure starts with a spectacular performance at the Palais Garnier. Oh, the sheer magnificence! Just stepping inside felt like stepping back in time, the gilded architecture breathtaking, and the grand staircase echoing with hushed whispers of ballet dreams. We watched "The Sleeping Beauty," and let me tell you, it was absolutely exquisite! The costumes, the choreography, the pure elegance of it all, it filled my heart with joy and left me with goosebumps all night.

After the show, my friend Beatrice (she’s a fellow tutu aficionado – and quite the pink enthusiast too!) and I had a delightful dinner in the Latin Quarter. We settled for a charming little bistro with quaint brick walls and the aroma of freshly baked bread drifting through the air. We were positively famished after the ballet, and the French cuisine did not disappoint! The cassoulet was simply divine, and Beatrice’s coq au vin was absolutely mouth-watering. We finished with a divine chocolate fondant, each mouthful a taste of heaven!

But, of course, the highlight of any trip to Paris is indulging in a bit of shopping! Beatrice and I have always got each other covered – and today was no exception. She convinced me to pop into the adorable little boutique she spotted nestled near the Palais Garnier. And what a treat it was! Just imagine, racks upon racks of fabulous French frocks – bold colours, exquisite fabrics, and charming accessories. I walked out with a vibrant, crimson silk scarf, so chic, I can practically smell the perfume of Parisian cafes as I wear it! (Yes, the shopping fever has indeed started!)

And then, of course, no Paris trip is complete without a walk along the Seine. This time, we strolled along the river after dinner, hand-in-hand, watching the city sparkle beneath a blanket of twinkling lights. The Eiffel Tower, shimmering in the night, served as a majestic backdrop. It was a picture-perfect Parisian evening.

You see, Paris isn't just about pretty lights and cobblestone streets. It's about romance, it's about passion, and it's about the arts. And who am I, a girl who's lived, breathed, and dreamt in pink tutus since she was a child, to resist a trip so filled with everything I love?

Until next week, darling readers! Remember to wear a pink tutu today, embrace your inner Parisian, and dance your heart out!

XOXO,

Emma

Hello, lovelies! It’s Emma here, and welcome to the Pink Tutu Blog. I'm a dancer, a writer, and a passionate believer in the magic of the colour pink! And, yes, you’re not mistaken. That’s a pink tutu in every single photo, even when I’m exploring the bustling markets of Seville, strolling down cobbled Parisian streets, or just grabbing coffee in my home town! I've been called a dreamer, a whimsical, a little bit dramatic... maybe it's all those years in ballet class! Whatever the label, I love it, I live it, and I want you to be part of my world.

If you're looking for a place where ballet meets fashion, travel meets whimsy, and the color pink reigns supreme, then this is the place for you. Here at Pink Tutu Blog, I talk about my adventures as a ballerina, sharing stories from theatre performances and travelling around the world (most of the time with a pink tutu on!).

So whether you're a seasoned dancer, a curious fashionista, or simply a lover of beautiful things, I'd love to have you along on this journey. Let's twirl and twirl until our hearts content.

And hey, if you’ve never donned a pink tutu before…well, it’s high time you give it a go. I believe there's a touch of ballerina magic in every one of us.

XOXO

Now, how do I afford to go gallivanting around the globe with my pink tutus, you may ask? Well, it’s all thanks to the wonderful world of ballet! I am a full-time professional dancer, which means most days I’m rehearsing for an upcoming performance, training my body, or simply sinking my toes into another stunning ballet show.

While I love exploring the world, nothing makes my heart sing more than the beauty of ballet. There's a joy in gracing the stage, expressing emotions with every graceful move. Every step tells a story. You could say it's in my blood, in my very soul. And each show I do helps me make my tutu dreams come true - traveling to breathtaking destinations, like the Eiffel Tower gleaming beneath a star-dusted sky.

And who knows, maybe you’ll see me gracing a stage near you soon.

### Let’s Get Social!

Love a good twirl and all things pink? Let's chat on social media! I post on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest weekly – share my photos, give me your feedback, and share your own tutu stories with me!

Every journey starts somewhere, and for me, it began with a very special ballet shoe... I was six, living in a sweet little cottage in the English countryside, dreaming of fairies and sugar plums, when I had my very first ballet lesson.

My mother brought home the prettiest pair of ballet shoes: soft pink leather with shimmering ribbons that danced in the sunbeams filtering through my bedroom window. They seemed magical! I wore those shoes with such pride, swirling around the room until the ribbons twirled too. From then on, ballet became my obsession! I practiced for hours every day, and when I turned eleven, I received my very first pink tutu. I remember wearing it like a princess, and in that moment, I knew this was a journey that would last a lifetime!

Now, it’s taken me across continents, to grand theatres and picturesque gardens. The colour pink has become synonymous with my passion. You might see me twirling in pink across the globe - London, Paris, Rome - I’m even planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro soon! I'm determined to make a pink tutu statement everywhere I go. I even have plans to organize a world tutu day. What do you say? Are you with me?

Let’s take the world by pink, shall we?

### Pink Tutu and Fashion…

It’s more than just tutus, darlings! As a girl who’s passionate about fashion and the feminine aesthetic, my love of pink has taken over my whole wardrobe! You’ll see me sporting it everywhere I go. Pink frocks, bold fuchsia blouses, elegant lavender suits – my motto? A little pink is good, and more pink is better!

The way I see it, fashion should make you feel empowered, graceful, and utterly radiant, like a queen stepping out to rule her kingdom (and, in my world, my kingdom is bathed in shades of pink!).

Of course, no ballet-obsessed fashionista is complete without a serious case of wanderlust! I simply can't resist the call of far-off places. I dream of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses and discovering the magical stories each place holds.

My travel adventures have taken me to some remarkable locations, and I can't wait to share them with you all. I hope to inspire you to embark on your own pink-hued adventures, be it exploring the charming cobbled streets of Paris, or simply stepping outside your door for a much-needed dance around your neighbourhood!

The world is a dazzling stage for the Pink Tutu girl, and every journey is an adventure. It's about exploring the world with grace and elegance, and that, darlings, is the beauty of it all.

That's the gist of my story, my darlings. Now, I’ve said enough for one Saturday. I can't wait to share more Parisian adventures with you all. Remember to keep an eye on www.pink-tutu.com for more whimsical stories, fabulous fashion tips, and maybe even a tutu-themed travel guide!

But for now, let’s keep twirling.

XOXO
