Hello, darling dears! Emma here, reporting live from the magical city of Prague! š©°š As the saying goes, āLife is like a box of chocolates, you never know what youāre gonna get," but I always know what I'm getting with Prague - beauty, history, and enough inspiration for a thousand tutu twirls! āØ
This week's adventure finds me nestled in the heart of the Czech Republic, where cobblestone streets lead to grand squares and fairytale castles shimmer on distant hills. I simply adore the vibe here; it's got this quirky charm thatās impossible not to fall head over heels for. Of course, I had to find the perfect outfit for this magical metropolis - a dreamy, flowing pink tutu paired with a fitted cream bodice (my best friend calls it a "ballerina's dream dress"), because let's be honest, you can't explore Prague without a touch of pink tulle. š
From Derbyshire to Prague: A Journey in Pink
After weeks of perfecting my "Tutu Adagio," my latest performance at the Derby Theatre raised enough to fund this whirlwind European escapade! I love performing. Itās where my heart truly shines, and every penny earned from those magical evenings on stage helps me make dreams a reality, like this one, this Pink Tutu Prague pilgrimage!
My journey started in good olā Derbyshire, with the familiar sounds of the Derbyshire countryside humming a sweet tune as I took the train up to London. Honestly, a train ride is the most civilised way to travel - a calming rhythm of wheels and steel against the rhythm of a good book, plus the wonderful view that whips past like a ballet of trees and clouds.
It was in London where I bid farewell to the familiar English scenery and boarded the Eurostar for Prague - a bullet train to a different world, where history breathes from every building and a whimsical sense of joy whispers on the wind!
Iāll admit, a pink tutu-clad woman isnāt exactly the average passenger on the Eurostar, but when a few gentlemen began serenading me with their best "Swan Lake" impression, I knew I was in for an exciting journey. They didnāt quite have the moves of Baryshnikov, bless their cotton socks, but the sentiment was a delightful, tutu-tastic way to travel!
Prague: The Dance of a City
Pragueās beauty isnāt just in the gorgeous buildings and charming winding streets. Thereās a genuine rhythm, a vibrancy that is just soā¦ elegant! Even the way the tram rattles across the tracks is almost like a musical phrase. From the majestic Charles Bridge to the stunning architecture of the Prague Castle, thereās a constant flow of movement, history, and an unmistakable sense of "joie de vivre."
To truly get to the heart of Prague, one needs to lose oneself in its rich history. And I, the pink tutu-clad traveller, am more than willing to get lost in its intricate tales! The Old Town Square is like a living museum, with the stories of the past etched on the walls and in the cobblestones themselves. From the Astronomical Clockās mesmerizing dance to the legend of the Prague Golem, every nook and cranny whispered of intrigue, romance, and a deep connection to its past.
Ballet in the City of Dreams
No trip to Prague would be complete without a ballet performance, of course. And wouldn't you know it, tonight's the night! Iām practically vibrating with excitement - the National Theatre, Pragueās artistic jewel, is presenting Tchaikovskyās āSwan Lakeā! The elegance of its neo-renaissance facade and its grand, richly ornate interior promise an unforgettable evening of dance. I can't wait to lose myself in the exquisite artistry of this world-famous masterpiece!
Pink Tutuās Shopping Adventures in Prague
My wardrobe may be bursting at the seams back in Derbyshire, but thereās simply no way I could visit Prague and leave without adding some sartorial delights to my collection! After all, this trip is as much about indulging my inner shopaholic as it is about experiencing the city's beauty.
From the fashion-forward boutiques of the Old Town Square to the antique treasures tucked away in hidden corners, Prague's got something for every fashionista! Iāve been spotting some fantastic lace trimmings for my next tutu creations and some exquisite velvet ribbon to add a dash of drama to my stage costumes. But that's not all... I've even found a tiny shop where I scored the most exquisite vintage pink silk gloves - they practically melt like candy floss! And what good is a shopping spree in Prague without a taste of delicious TrdelnĆk? Think fluffy, warm dough covered in cinnamon and sugar, the perfect sugar rush after a day of shopping.
Prague Through Pink-Tinted Lenses
Every day here in Prague is like a fairytale unfold; a feast for the senses and an explosion of colour for my eyes. I canāt wait to share more stories of my adventures with you next week! In the meantime, remember - wear pink, twirl with joy, and keep on dreaming big! š
With love and twirls,

Post Scriptum:
Iām still swooning over the National Theatreās "Swan Lake." Every movement was pure grace, a perfect blend of classic choreography and heartfelt emotion. It made me feel like a tiny ballerina doll lost in a dream of ethereal beauty and artistic perfection.
I simply canāt leave Prague without taking a few ballet classes. After all, I've been dreaming of this since I was little. The Ballet Prague studios offer everything from classic Russian technique to contemporary ballet. Can't wait to see what ballet magic awaits!
And of course, no visit to Prague would be complete without a dose of Pink Tutu magic! While the city has certainly captured my heart with its breathtaking architecture, historical charm, and captivating cultural offerings, Iāve also noticed an inspiring pink-hued fashion movement stirring here! There's a certain "pink power" in the air, and Iām seeing flashes of this bright and vibrant hue in everything from vintage clothing stores to street-style fashion blogs.
If thereās anything better than twirling through life in a pink tutu, it's spreading this love of all things pink to a global audience. And thatās what I intend to do right here in Prague!
Join me next week as I continue to explore this enchanting city with my pink-tinted lenses!
With pinkest wishes,
Emma
