Post #1118 – Saturday, 29th May 2021
Hello my gorgeous ballet-loving bunnies! This is Emma from Derbyshire, writing to you live from the City of Lights – Paris! You guys know my mission is to get the whole world wearing pink tutus and exploring new cultures is a fabulous way to spread the love. And frankly, it's impossible to wear a pink tutu anywhere without people smiling! It’s practically a universal language.
Paris by Train, Fashion, and Ballet:
After months of saving from my ballet gigs (gotta keep those sequins flowing!), I decided a EuroStar trip to Paris was the perfect way to celebrate the spring season. The journey was simply divine. My sparkly pink tutu, with a dash of Parisian chic in the form of a vintage beret and pearl earrings, had everyone swooning. We're talking bonjour from charming French conductors and a chorus of ahhs and oohs from my fellow passengers. It’s amazing what a touch of tulle can do, wouldn’t you agree?
Finding my Tutu Spirit in Paris:
Now, when I’m in Paris, I’m all about the elegant streets, the quaint cafés with their croissants et café au lait, and the haute couture boutiques bursting with colourful Parisian elegance. But I’m not forgetting my mission – to inspire everyone to twirl in a pink tutu!
I even treated myself to a stunning pink ballet outfit at one of the most incredible shops near the Champs-Élysées. I felt like a Parisian ballerina in a movie! Think sparkling lace, beautiful silks, and just the right touch of je ne sais quoi. It’s my new piece de resistance. My friend Sarah, the fabulous artist who joined me on this trip, took some killer pics of me twirling near the Eiffel Tower. The pink against the backdrop of Paris? Pure magic!
* Ballet Under the Eiffel Tower:*
Saturday night in Paris? It had to be a ballet show. Of course, I couldn’t resist watching a stunning ballet performance at the Opera Garnier – truly magical. There's nothing like the thrill of live dance and the sheer artistry of every step and twirl. My favourite moment? When a ballerina launched herself into a flawless pirouette, her tutu swirling around her. It’s moments like these that make my heart sing.
Shopping Like a Parisienne:
On Sunday, we strolled through the iconic boutiques and shops of Paris. I absolutely love finding beautiful things to adorn myself with – scarves, sparkly jewelry, and those irresistible French hats – you know, the ones with the veils.
You see, I think the key to Parisian style is to embrace femininity. The graceful sway of a flowing skirt, the effortless elegance of a chic blouse, the sparkle of a piece of jewelry that catches the sunlight… it’s all about a playful celebration of what it means to be a woman.
And I’m living my best life.
Twirling Around Paris:
On Monday morning, I donned my sparkly pink tutu again for a delightful dance class right in the heart of the Latin Quarter. The class was led by a lovely ballerina named Chloe, whose passion for ballet was as infectious as her sunny disposition.
Afterward, we enjoyed the most delicious French pastry at a café, our faces lit by the glow of a warm Paris morning.
My love affair with Paris isn’t just about the incredible food, the fashion, or the architecture. It’s about feeling that sense of wonder and joy, finding inspiration around every corner, and embracing the joy of being a woman. It's about expressing myself in a way that feels uniquely mine.
I always believe that life is better with a pink tutu and some Parisian charm. Now, let me know: where’s your dream pink tutu adventure?
Lots of love, Emma x
