Hello darlings! Emma here, back from a whirlwind adventure in the enchanting city of Prague. This week's post is a real special one, so settle in with a cuppa (or a sparkling cocktail - we're celebrating!), and let me whisk you away to the land of charming cobblestone streets, magnificent castles, and… yes, you guessed it… fabulous ballet! 🩰✨
Now, Prague itself is just breathtaking, you know? I was positively swooning as we rolled in on the train. The train, by the way, was such a chic vintage model! It's definitely a highlight when you travel like I do, and I felt like a real-life character from a vintage film. (Honestly, what is it with vintage? So on trend these days!). But back to Prague… I'm talking Gothic cathedrals, bridges brimming with fairytale charm, and all the colourful, Bohemian charm you can imagine. It's like a magical dreamscape come true!
As you can imagine, being a pink tutu devotee, I just had to capture this whimsical spirit with a delightful pink tutu outfit - something light, airy, and with a bit of Bohemian flair. Picture this: a bubblegum pink tulle tutu, paired with a billowing floral blouse, a statement necklace (all pink, obviously!), and a little touch of sparkle from my pink ballerina shoes. It was absolute perfection!
Of course, no trip to Prague would be complete without some exquisite shopping. I discovered the most delightful boutiques nestled in the old town, overflowing with chic fashion finds that scream "pink tutu" chic. I snagged some beautiful silk scarves, perfect for layering over a tutu, and a charming hat with a delicate pink flower. And let's not forget the stunning earrings – a symphony of pink pearls that glittered in the afternoon sun.
But the absolute highlight of my Prague adventure? The ballet performance! You know me - always in pursuit of a fantastic show! And Prague delivered in spades! I stumbled upon a stunning performance at the stunning National Theatre. The program? "The Nutcracker." What a treat! There was an incredible use of light and shadow, the costumes were exquisite, and the choreography was simply breathtaking. You can imagine my little pink tutu heart exploding with delight. It felt like the fairies themselves were sprinkling their magic dust onto every ballerina's turn!
Before I let you go, darlings, let's talk about why ballet is so amazing, okay? Beyond the gorgeous costumes and the grace of the dancers, it's a language understood universally, no matter what corner of the world you hail from. A pirouette, a grand jeté… they all speak the same language of artistry and dedication. And it’s an incredible escape. It sweeps you away on a journey of emotions - from pure joy to heart-wrenching tragedy, with each pirouette and every plié. That's what I love about ballet!
But honestly, my adventures in Prague are just beginning. I have so much more to explore: hidden cafes, whimsical bookstores, and of course, more enchanting performances. Don't forget to check back next Wednesday for another dose of Pink Tutu Prague – we'll be delving into some of the historical wonders, the charming boutiques, and hopefully, more stunning ballet shows!
Until then, keep sparkling and dancing, and don't be afraid to embrace the joy of the pink tutu!
Lots of love,
Emma xx
P.S. Remember, dear readers, I’m not just some fashionable dreamer! I’m a ballerina. And a pink tutu is a powerful tool. The ultimate aim is to get everyone embracing the pink tutu – a symbol of joy, individuality, and yes, maybe a bit of whimsy!
I travel the world to bring the pink tutu to the fore! My journeys are funded by my performance work – I love taking audiences on my unique take on classic ballet! From Derbyshire, I take the world by storm in my trusty, and well-travelled pink tutus, And who knows, you might even see me dance right here in Prague! 💖
