Hello, my lovely Tutu-tastic friends!
It's Wednesday, so that means another trip to pink-tutu.com for another peek into my fabulous world! 🩰
Today, I'm writing to you from the enchanting city of Prague, a place that feels straight out of a fairy tale, and what could be more fairytale-esque than a ballet show in a city so full of charm? Let's delve into my Pink Tutu Adventures in Prague! 💖
Train Travel - A Pink Tutu's JourneySo, how did I get here? A Pink Tutu's journey always involves some sort of adventure! My latest travel obsession has to be trains, particularly those cute little regional trains with windows you can open for a true whiff of fresh air. And this time, the train was the perfect way to soak up the stunning scenery of the Czech Republic, where I found myself enthralled by rolling fields, charming villages and sleepy towns. My Pink Tutu twirled with joy at every twist and turn.
And I wasn't alone on my journey! Remember my fabulous Pink Tutu Travel Ponies, Bella and Poppy? Well, I hired a delightful little horsebox and drove them over, just as I've always wanted. Bella is an old pro and was perfectly calm, and Poppy was full of excited neighs the whole way - she loved watching the passing fields and trees! 🐴 We stopped for a quick Pink Tutu picnic at a scenic rest stop, with pink sandwiches and a pink lemonade for my gorgeous ponies. 💖
Prague - The City of a Thousand TwirlsAh, Prague. The moment I arrived, I felt my heart begin to flutter. This city is full of charm! Narrow, cobbled streets leading to hidden courtyards bursting with flowers, spires reaching for the sky, and, most importantly for a Pink Tutu, an endless array of magnificent buildings adorned with pink roses. It feels like the most glamorous storybook imaginable. I swear, every turn reveals a picture perfect scene waiting for a Pink Tutu to twirl through!
I can't help but envision a world where pink tutus fill the streets of Prague! Imagine the gorgeous shades of pink popping against the pastel tones of the houses and cobblestones, with Pink Tutu street dancers filling the square! The picture is utterly delightful and I can't wait to bring this vision to life, even if just for a day. 😉
Shopping in PragueYou all know that shopping for the perfect pink tutu is my favourite part of any journey. The shops here in Prague were overflowing with pretty little boutiques, tucked away in the most adorable streets, full of lace, feathers, silk, and so much pink. 👗🛍️ I was simply mesmerized! The local markets had a bounty of hand-made accessories – beads, ribbons, even vintage pieces, begging to be used in my next pink tutu masterpiece.
It took a good deal of restraint to resist buying it all! But thankfully, my trusty suitcase was filled with everything I needed to put together the perfect Prague-inspired Pink Tutu look. I know, I know, a surprise isn't really a surprise when I announce it - but you will see this Pink Tutu creation in my next blog post! 💕
A Ballet Under the Stars - The Perfect Pink Tutu EndingSpeaking of beautiful things, tonight, I was treated to a breathtaking ballet performance - a show put on by the Czech National Ballet, one of the oldest and most renowned ballet companies in the world. And it wasn't just any performance, oh no, this was held in the grand Prague State Opera, an iconic landmark, with an ornate interior.
Can you even imagine a setting more beautiful for a pink tutu? 🌠 The combination of grand architecture, dazzling chandeliers, and an elegant performance had me truly mesmerized. Every turn and leap brought a new sparkle to my eyes, and the graceful movements were so captivating, I lost myself in the world of ballet.
Even without the magnificent architecture, a performance by the Czech National Ballet is an amazing experience. They're famous for their artistry and the powerful story-telling they weave through movement.
Ballet History and Prague - A Twist of FateWhat was even more exciting for a pink tutu enthusiast like me, was discovering that the Pink Tutu, in its original form, played a significant role in the ballet history of Prague. In the 19th century, it was a ballet dancer here, known as Anna Pavlova, who truly brought the Pink Tutu to life, and to my heart. The history of this fascinating costume is inextricably tied to the city's own cultural heritage. And knowing this story makes my pink tutu passion even stronger!
As you can imagine, a visit to Prague for a pink tutu enthusiast like me has been a whirlwind of wonder and delight. Every moment, from exploring the captivating cobbled streets, to browsing the overflowing boutiques, and especially, watching the mesmerizing ballet under the stars, has truly made my journey one for the memories.
This incredible city, with its timeless beauty and rich history, has woven itself into my own personal journey of Pink Tutus, adding a new dimension to my lifelong passion. It’s an inspiration that will be swirling in my heart for a long time!
Stay tuned for next week's post, where I’ll be unveiling my brand new Prague-inspired Pink Tutu look and taking you on a guided tour of my favourite Pink Tutu places in this delightful city! 💖
Until then, keep twirling! ✨
