Bonjour mes amis! It's your favourite pink tutu-clad blogger Emma, back from a whirlwind trip to Paris and oh, darling, what a journey it's been! This week, we're skipping into the City of Lights, because frankly, the magic of Paris is just begging for a dose of pink tutu-ness, don't you think?
As always, this week's adventure began on the EuroStar. Now, I don't know about you, but I absolutely adore travelling by train. There's something about the gentle sway of the carriages, the whizzing landscapes, and the anticipation that fills the air, that puts me in a total dream state! This time, though, the thrill was even greater. I had my sights set on Paris, and that meant fashion, theatrical performances, and, of course, ballet!
Bonjour, Paris! 🗼✨Stepping off the train, my heart skipped a beat - the air itself felt like an extra sprinkle of fairy dust. I don't think I could have beamed any wider if I tried, and you just know a big pink tutu adds a little extra sparkle to a city already brimming with joie de vivre.
Of course, a trip to Paris isn't complete without a visit to the legendary Champs-Élysées! Now, I don't want to brag, but I was absolutely rocking my new "Paris Pink" tutu, a bespoke creation from the fabulous Miss Priss Emporium in Derby (it was inspired by the blush pink roses at the Arc de Triomphe!). With a sassy twirl and a flick of my pink ballet shoes, I started to explore. It was like stepping into a fashion magazine! The streets bustled with chic Parisians, stylish window displays, and charming cafes, all painted in shades of romantic cream and buttery yellow, with pops of colour - just like a pink tutu-filled world!
Speaking of pink, my inner shopaholic simply couldn't be contained! The Parisian shops were like candy land! Oh, the gowns, the hats, the gloves... I couldn't resist, so I added a couple of treasures to my suitcase. There's this exquisite pale pink beret that simply begged to come home with me. I also snagged a gorgeous satin blouse in a rich shade of coral that sparkles even better under the Parisian lights! Let's just say, I'm already picturing it with my new tulle skirt, the one with the sparkly pink pom-poms! Oh, the outfits I'm dreaming up!
Parisian Performance Delights! 💖✨On Saturday, it was time to experience the magic of Paris on a whole other level. I booked myself a seat at the Opéra Garnier, a true masterpiece of architecture. The ornate interior is truly breathtaking. I was going to see a spectacular ballet production, a dreamy reinterpretation of "La Sylphide." With a tutu as pink as the setting sun and my heart thumping with excitement, I took my seat, completely enchanted by the spectacle before me.
The ballet was truly captivating. The dancers were graceful and powerful, the costumes were simply divine, and the music took me to a place of pure artistry. Every whirl, every jump, every graceful movement… it just filled me with awe! The performance was truly magical!
The Spirit of Pink 🌸Walking home afterwards, feeling completely inspired, I started to think. What is it about a pink tutu that brings joy? It's more than just a costume. It's a reminder to be bold, to express your personality, and to always find the magic in life. Even when the world feels a little grey, a dash of pink can really change your perspective!
So, to my dear readers, I leave you with this: Embrace the pink tutu! Whether it's a literal one or just a little sprinkle of pink in your day, let your pink spirit shine. The world is waiting for you to bring your sparkle, your grace, and your love for life to every single corner of it.
Until next week, my loves, when we'll be exploring another fantastic city!
With tulle and love,
Emma
