Bonjour, my darling tutu twirlers! Emma here, reporting live from the City of Lights! I've swapped my Derbyshire hills for the Parisian streets and, let me tell you, I am absolutely smitten. It’s Saturday, and I’m brimming with Parisian inspiration!
Eurostar Adventures & Tutu Travels
It all started with a very glamorous Eurostar journey. Yes, you guessed it, I sported my signature pink tutu (a bespoke Parisian number, I might add!) on the train, causing quite a stir, of course. I love the feeling of travelling by train, it feels like such a luxurious way to travel. And seeing the countryside fly past in a flurry of green and grey, it's like the start of a magical story.
Paris, Mon Amour
Paris feels like it was made for me. Everywhere I turn there are stories just waiting to be unfurled – a charming patisserie window filled with pastel macarons, cobblestone streets that whisper tales of bygone eras, and an enchanting symphony of street performers that makes my heart soar. Even the air here feels different, all sparkly and magical.
Ballet, Bonnets & Beautiful Blooms
As you all know, I can’t resist a good ballet show, and Paris is teeming with them. Last night I saw the most spectacular performance of "Swan Lake" at the Palais Garnier, my breath caught in my throat from the moment the curtain rose! It’s an incredible feeling to lose yourself in the graceful movements of the ballerinas and the powerful music. And after the show? You guessed it, I treated myself to the most delicious French macarons from a quaint little patisserie just around the corner. Life truly is a fairytale!
Shopping Splendour & Fashion Fiasco (in a good way!)
And let's not forget about the shopping! Today was dedicated to a glorious spree through the boudoirs of haute couture in the Marais district. Imagine my delight as I discovered a little boutique tucked away on a cobbled side street, crammed to the brim with whimsical, oh-so-French treasures. A silk scarf patterned with delicate ballerina shoes, a pair of stunning red leather heels (that just happen to have a hint of pink!) and, my favourite find of all - a bewitching blush-coloured beret that instantly turned my Parisian dreams into a delightful reality.
My Tutu Inspiration for You
Today's little escapade reminds me of something I wanted to share. There’s no reason why Paris has to be just a dream. Even if you can't afford a plane ticket or a designer handbag, there are still little bits of Parisian magic all around. You can create your own fashion extravaganza with a little imagination and a dash of personality. Wear your favourite pink tutu and let your inner ballerina shine!
Upcoming Parisian Adventures
Tomorrow, I’m going to explore the magical gardens of the Tuileries, indulging in a picnic with my new Parisian beret. I’ve also heard whispers of an incredible art exhibition that I just HAVE to see. So, be sure to check back next Saturday for my next Paris update.
**Sending Tutu Love and Paris Wishes,
Emma x**
