It's your girl Emma, and oh my goodness, I'm back in Paris! You know, the city of lights, romance, and oh-so-many pink tulle possibilities. 🎉 This week's blog is extra special because it marks post number 1003 on www.pink-tutu.com. Can you believe it? Over a thousand posts filled with pink tutus, ballet dreams, and, of course, fabulous Parisian adventures!
This time around, I took the EuroStar to Paris – that train ride is so glamorous! I spent the journey dreaming about all the amazing things I’d see in the city of love and dreaming of my first tutu shopping trip. After all, I couldn’t arrive in Paris without a new, Parisian pink tutu to add to my collection.
My mission this weekend is to inspire a Parisian pink tutu revolution. Imagine, everyone in Paris rocking their very own tutu, strutting their stuff around the Eiffel Tower. Just picture it!
And as for this weekend’s schedule, I’ve packed my agenda with some Parisian essentials.
Saturday
Morning: My day begins in Montmartre, Paris' artistic heart. My love of fashion was brought up at a local school near Derby. It’s known for being very pretty. So, naturally, I wanted to experience some of that energy in Paris, and I’m planning to spend the morning wandering around, enjoying the cafes and picking out the perfect fabric to get me inspired!
Afternoon: Of course, any visit to Paris wouldn’t be complete without indulging in the delights of a Parisian macaron. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten the reason I'm here – ballet, darlings! This afternoon, I'll be attending a ballet performance at the gorgeous Palais Garnier opera house, which will be the subject of my next blog! The costumes were fantastic!
Evening: It's all about that Parisian elegance this evening, with dinner in the Latin Quarter, where the cobblestone streets feel as if they’re steeped in Parisian history! The streets have been just as much fun, exploring some shops I’ve found down in some back streets - I had a very successful tutu-inspired vintage shop haul!
Sunday
Morning: My love of Parisian shopping continues, as I set off for some shopping, exploring the latest designer boutiques on the Rue Saint-Honoré. Oh, you know I’m looking for some fabulous, pink Parisian outfit inspiration. I have my eye on a gorgeous pink beret!
Afternoon: As any ballet enthusiast knows, a trip to the Garnier opera house needs a spot of shopping, so it's shopping again, but this time, for a tutu. What can I say? A tutu is an investment, darlings!
Evening: To round off my weekend, I'm taking a leisurely stroll along the Seine and catching the gorgeous twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower – pure Parisian magic. You can bet I’ll be twirling with joy, too, especially with the new additions to my tutu collection!
Monday
Morning: With a sigh, I will be boarding the EuroStar back to Derby and thinking back over the memories made in Paris.
This is life in pink tutu! It really is magical to wear something that just screams femininity! I don’t know what it is about a tutu, but they always make me feel so beautiful, so whimsical. It makes everything fun!
Remember to join the #PinkTutuRevolution and stay tuned next Saturday for my next post, all about the spectacular costumes at the Palais Garnier opera house. Until then, stay pink!
