Bonjour from the City of Lights, my darling tutu-lovers!
This Saturday, I’m bringing you a special treat from the heart of Paris, all wrapped up in the most magnificent pink packaging! (It’s just me and my pink tulle, obviously, but we do make a stunning combo, right?) It's time for another fabulous blog post from Paris, where every street corner seems to burst with history, charm and - best of all! - stunning boutiques brimming with fabulous fashion finds!
A Speedy EuroStar Journey & Pink Tulle Dreams
The trip was absolutely delightful! My journey on the Eurostar was so chic, like stepping into a stylish Parisian café. I made sure my trusty pink tutu flowed majestically in the train carriage - wouldn't want to waste the opportunity for a little ballerina magic, even in transit! (Let’s face it, a bit of pink tulle makes even train journeys feel like a fairytale, especially when you're on your way to Paris!).
Pink Tutu Chic & Parisian Delights
I’ve already been shopping – OMG, the vintage clothes here are incredible! A fabulous silk scarf, some vintage Parisian gloves, and a tiny hand mirror with a floral design… My new Parisian wardrobe is already shaping up perfectly, just wait till you see my outfit pics for today's performance! Speaking of which…
Ballerina Dreams at The Palais Garnier
Tonight, I’m heading to see the Swan Lake at the beautiful Palais Garnier opera house, and let me tell you, I am absolutely beside myself with excitement! I am practically waltzing in my seat right now, just thinking about those intricate steps and stunning costumes, oh, it's truly the perfect place for a Pink Tutu dreamer to be. I can’t wait to experience the grandeur of the performance! (Did I mention how stunningly beautiful this city is? The architecture here truly makes every performance feel extra special.)
Pink Tulle Travels: A Ballerina’s Paradise
I've also got a fabulous treat for you, dear readers! Today is also a day for a bit of self-indulgence. You know, it’s the whole 'treat yourself' thing! I've already been to the most enchanting tea room nestled in a little courtyard – think delicate pastries and an explosion of pastel-colored cakes – perfect fuel for all that dancing, right? It was très magnifique and the tea room was absolutely deserving of its own Instagram hashtag, #PinkTutuTeaParty (that's how good it was!)
Finding Ballet in Every Corner
I truly believe that there’s something about Paris that makes me feel so at home! The architecture is amazing (think old cobbled streets and majestic buildings), the atmosphere is buzzing with energy and excitement (it's so chic and fun here!), and the culture of dance and theatre is so alive!
Saturday Spotlight
I've spotted so many street performers dancing here – from hip-hop and salsa to ballet and classical - it's magical to witness the energy and talent on display in every corner. It’s all so inspiring! And, as an added bonus, I’m trying to pick up some new moves to incorporate into my own routines - I might even do a little impromptu performance (a la the famous Moulin Rouge) You’ve got to expect a bit of Parisian flair with me!
Sharing My Pink Tulle Passion
It's my goal, you see, to share the joy of dance with the world! Every little pirouette and grand jeté is a chance to make a new friend, learn a new step, and inspire someone else to follow their dreams. I really believe everyone should feel the freedom and beauty of expressing themselves through dance. So go on, unleash your inner ballerina and show the world what you've got! (And of course, maybe start by slipping into a pink tutu? I have a feeling you’ll love it).
A Derbyshire Lass in Paris
