Bonjour mes amies! It's Emma, your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, and this week I'm bringing you the most fabulous Parisian adventure from the City of Lights! Oh my, I'm absolutely delighted to be back in this magical city, breathing in the atmosphere of art, culture, and - of course! - fashion!
This week's escapade has been a whirlwind of tutu twirls and pink delights! The journey began in Derbyshire, the English countryside where I call home, and you won't believe it, but I was off to Paris on the Eurostar! I can't get over how incredible that train is – speedy, comfortable, and even served delicious pastries! A girl after my own heart, truly!
Pink Paradise
My Parisian adventures always start at the Galerie Lafayette! Oh, the colours! The textures! The endless aisles of fashion heaven! My eyes went a little blurry with the pink hues everywhere – my heart couldn't have been happier! And this time, I discovered a divine shop that specialised in silk tulle - a dancer's dream! They even had this stunning pale pink silk that made me imagine a ballet performance like nothing I'd ever seen before. Can you imagine a ballerina in a pink tulle masterpiece twirling through a magical French garden? I'm already working on it!
A Romantic Evening with the Paris Opera Ballet
No trip to Paris is complete without a ballet performance. The Opera House is something out of a fairy tale – opulent and exquisite, filled with shimmering chandeliers and delicate designs that feel like stepping into a storybook! I saw "The Nutcracker" and I've never been so enchanted! The costumes, the choreography, the talent – absolutely breathtaking! There’s just something special about witnessing a performance under the breathtaking ceiling of the Paris Opera House that fills me with such inspiration.
Street Performers and Shopping Splendour
Of course, no trip to Paris is complete without wandering the streets and admiring the charming Parisian architecture. And my oh my, the street performers here are amazing! This weekend I saw a breathtaking duo perform a tango by the Seine – their costumes were so intricate and the moves, so graceful and passionate! My camera just couldn't stop snapping, it was that mesmerising.
Paris is, of course, also a fashion haven, and my shopping spree wasn't just about pretty clothes - though they did steal my heart. I came across the most amazing vintage shop hidden on a quaint little cobblestone street. Inside, there were gorgeous hats, fascinators, and vintage shoes that made my heart skip a beat! And what a beautiful way to embrace the history of this city! They even had a couple of amazing tutus that I just had to buy. It's always fun to see the old fashioned tutu styles compared to the new trends in dance.
Delicious Parisian Delights
A French trip just wouldn't be the same without indulging in the cuisine! Paris has so many beautiful cafes and patisseries. My latest find is a place called "La Petite Boulangerie," right next to a little pink fountain (you know I have a penchant for pink fountains!). I highly recommend the croissant au chocolat and the macarons – pure indulgence!
The Pink Tutu Project
You know I am obsessed with making the world a more pink and fabulous place. And what better way to spread this love than by encouraging people to embrace their inner ballerina? Every day I see more people wearing tutus - a testament to my Pink Tutu Project spreading across the world!
Even though this trip has only been a few days, I've already captured some absolutely magical memories in the city of love! My Parisian escapades are always a delight to my pink-loving soul, and it always feels like stepping back into the pages of a classic story.
Stay tuned for more adventures on the Pink Tutu Blog - there's still so much more Parisian pinkness to discover!
