Bonjour, darling! Itās Emma here, reporting live from the stunningly beautiful city of Prague, ready to whisk you away on a pink-tinted adventure through the heart of Europe! This week, we're taking a break from Derbyshire's rolling hills for some cobbled streets and baroque architecture, all while exploring the world of ballet ā naturally!
Itās Wednesday, which means a new post on pink-tutu.com, and Iām bursting at the seams with exciting news to share! This past week has been a whirlwind of breathtaking ballet, fabulous fashion finds, and delightful discoveries, all beautifully intertwined with the magic of Prague.
Pink-Tutu Travels: Train Journey Bliss
Our journey started on Tuesday with a journey across Europe by train. Iāll be honest, I just adore train travel. Thereās something wonderfully romantic and nostalgic about hurtling through different landscapes, each one painted in different shades of green, gold, and blue. It feels like stepping into one of those beautifully illustrated fairytale books we adored as children, except instead of a carriage pulled by a beautiful white steed, weāre whizzing through Europeās picturesque heart in a sleek, modern carriage!
The excitement peaked when I discovered a little cafe tucked away within the train. With its dainty tables and plush velvet chairs, it felt like stepping out of a 1950s French movie ā chic, elegant, and brimming with charm.
As always, my outfit was a reflection of my bubbly personality. A bubblegum-pink tutu paired with a fitted, white t-shirt and delicate pearl necklace perfectly encapsulates the chic, romantic style I live by. Of course, a pink leather beret and matching satchel complete the look ā the perfect blend of classic femininity with a dash of Parisian chic. I even carried my beloved vintage travel book, āThe Worldās Ballet Theatresā, as a chic companion for the ride!
Prague: A Fairytale Unveiled
Upon arriving in Prague, my breath caught in my throat! Imagine a city where cobbled streets wind past baroque buildings, each one adorned with intricate sculptures and vibrant colours. Each corner offers a new vista, like a fairytale waiting to be unveiled! Prague is a symphony of history, culture, and exquisite beauty, all beautifully woven together in a tapestry of enchanting colours and fascinating stories.
Pragueās Ballet Bonanza
Prague has a vibrant ballet scene and I couldnāt wait to immerse myself in the beauty of ballet performances. My first stop, on that very first day, was the magnificent National Theatre ā a true masterpiece of architectural elegance, with its majestic facade and grand interiors.
The Magical World of Tchaikovsky
I spent the evening at the National Theatre immersed in the beauty of Tchaikovsky's āSwan Lakeā. Oh, the enchantment of those graceful swan movements, the dramatic tension of the love story unfolding in front of my eyesā¦ The ballerinas floated effortlessly through the performance with poise and passion, and the music swept me away to another realm. It was a truly immersive experience.
Of course, my look was perfect for the occasion. My white swan-themed tutu was just the perfect balance of classic ballet chic with my personal touch of playful femininity.
A Ballet Class in a Charming Studio
My stay in Prague was not just about grand theatre productions, it was also about discovering local ballet scenes! One morning, I stumbled upon a hidden ballet studio ā tucked away in a quaint cobbled street. This tiny gem, named āThe Ballet Flowerā, offered both a charming environment and inspiring instruction. I took a beginnerās ballet class ā not only for fun, but also to reconnect with my inner dancer.
The class was led by a smiling, rosy-cheeked woman with a passion for dance that lit up the room. The music played softly in the background, and the sunshine streamed in through the large windows, making the studio glow like a fairyland.
In that intimate, beautiful space, I found myself losing myself in the graceful movements of ballet. It was a refreshing and exhilarating reminder of why I love ballet so much.
Pink Tutu Prague Shopping Spree
My passion for fashion finds no boundaries, not even when I'm deep in a ballet-obsessed city like Prague. And Pragueās charm lies not only in its rich history but also in its delightful independent shops, hidden behind its winding cobbled streets.
It was a ballet-themed adventure from beginning to end. From exquisitely designed ballet shoes to delicate ballet jewelry, my suitcase is now overflowing with pretty trinkets to remind me of this magical city.
And no Prague shopping trip is complete without exploring its vintage fashion scene. From quirky bohemian stores filled with unique pieces to charming vintage boutiques boasting vintage fashion treasures from different eras. I even found a gorgeous powder pink silk scarf from the 1920s and a pair of dazzling crystal-encrusted shoes.
My ballet-themed finds have brought a new layer of magic to my wardrobe!
