Bonjour mes chéries! 🇫🇷 It's Emma, your resident Pink Tutu Princess, here with another thrilling entry from the #PinkTutuBlogParis!
This week I took the Eurostar to the most magical city in the world, Paris! I swear, there's just something about this place that sets my heart aflutter. It’s like a fairytale, but one with an incredible array of chic boutiques and fantastic boulangeries! 😉
But before we get into all that, let me tell you about my train journey. It was divine! I was decked out in a luscious blush pink tulle tutu, of course, paired with a perfectly fitting white blouse, and my signature pink-rimmed spectacles. It’s always fun to see fellow passengers admiring the pink twirl factor! I love feeling like a real-life ballet ballerina. 🩰
Speaking of ballerinas, the Eurostar is the perfect setting to break out your favourite ballet poses and dance your heart out! Everyone looked over in amusement when I attempted to recreate the “arabesque” mid-journey. It was glorious, trust me! 😁
Arriving in Paris, I was mesmerized. It really is the City of Lights – twinkling cafes, breathtaking architecture, and the sheer beauty of the French countryside, just out of reach. 🗼
My first stop was, of course, a truly adorable Parisian boulangerie! Honestly, the scent of freshly baked baguettes is enough to melt your heart. I grabbed a baguette and some melt-in-your-mouth pain au chocolat – it was pure heaven! 🤤
But the main reason for my trip is for a truly special event happening here in Paris this weekend: The Paris Ballet International! You bet your bottom dollar I'll be twirling in the audience with a big, pink tutu to celebrate these wonderful dancers. I am just dying to see this prestigious performance, and can’t wait to share my observations with you next week!
After the show, it wouldn't be a #PinkTutuBlogParis without a shopping spree! Let’s just say my bags are packed with fabulous new treasures, all carefully selected from the most charming shops in Paris. I picked up the most amazing silk scarf adorned with delicate roses, some darling pink floral earrings for a special occasion, and, naturally, a new tutu. The colour is an absolute dream – like the pale pink of a Parisian dawn, and it just flows when you move!
But of course, no Paris trip is complete without indulging in some iconic Parisian treats. And for that, I knew I had to visit a quintessential Parisian cafe, where I enjoyed a cup of perfect espresso with a slice of classic French pastry. Every sip, every bite was perfection. 😋
Later on, I went to explore some of the city's hidden gems. I am in love with this area. Every street corner reveals a secret - a romantic park, a hidden patisserie, an artist’s studio filled with colourful creations. It's like the world's most captivating maze. 💖
This evening, I enjoyed a delicious traditional French dinner, filled with the aromas of herbs and cheeses, and accompanied by the sweetest of wines. Oh la la! 🍷🧀
It’s all been utterly divine, you guys. The charm of the city, the fashion, the food, the artistry - it’s just what my pink tutu-loving heart craved! This truly is the perfect city to dance the day away.
Tomorrow, I'm planning on seeing a show at the iconic Moulin Rouge! If you’re visiting Paris, this is definitely a must-do, and even I, with my pink tutu obsession, have never experienced anything like it! The artistry, the glitz, the glam - it’s all so exhilarating. Stay tuned for my impressions next week. 💃
So, until next time, stay pink, stay bubbly, and never stop dreaming, darling. I'll be back next Saturday with even more tales of my Parisian adventure. 💋
Bisous, Emma 💖
