Post #1396: Wednesday 9th March 2022
Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, Emma, here, broadcasting live from the heart of Prague! I'm positively bursting with excitement to share all the beautiful, balletic delights that this stunning city has offered me so far.
As always, this week's post comes to you fresh from my whirlwind adventures – travelling by train (with a brief stop for a glamorous photo shoot in my most fabulous tutu, naturally!), exploring charming cafes and antique shops overflowing with vintage trinkets, and, of course, experiencing the breathtaking magic of the ballet scene in Prague.
Pink Tutus & Prague's Pretty Charm
From the moment I stepped off the train into Prague, I was completely smitten. This city is just gorgeous. Cobblestone streets, vibrant markets overflowing with pastel-coloured treats, and, of course, the stunning architecture – it's like a fairy tale brought to life!
But of course, the true magic of Prague for me lies in its rich cultural heritage. And where else to explore this than at the magnificent National Theatre, a real architectural gem and a bastion of Czech opera, ballet and drama! Just standing outside this opulent building is a treat for the eyes, and I couldn't resist a few snaps in my brightest pink tutu, after all, a ballerina needs to stand out wherever she goes!
Dancing in the Czech Capital: National Theatre Ballet
On Wednesday evening, my heart skipped a beat as I watched the sublime performance of “Sleeping Beauty” by the National Theatre Ballet. This production was nothing short of spectacular! The costumes, the sets, the dancing – everything was just so incredibly enchanting. I could barely believe my eyes (and ears!). The artistry of the dancers was truly phenomenal, leaving me spellbound, and even prompting a tear or two of pure emotion!
The ballet was captivating, full of elegant, expressive movements and storytelling, which really moved me. Seeing "Sleeping Beauty" performed by such talented artists in a historic venue was an absolutely magical experience!
A Parisian Afternoon
Of course, no trip to Prague is complete without some indulging in fashion and fine dining. As a Parisian-style cafe with pink floral accents and delicate teacups caught my eye on Thursday afternoon, I couldn't resist popping in. It was an absolute dream! I ordered a delicious slice of decadent chocolate cake (well, I had to have something with pink frosting!) and it was absolutely delicious! I spent the afternoon people-watching from a pastel pink table and soaking up the magical atmosphere of Prague.
Later in the afternoon, I visited one of the most famous luxury shopping streets in Prague – Parizska Street! The cobbled street is filled with chic boutiques selling designer brands, and you can see how Prague has a real international air with chic designer labels. Of course, I just had to browse for a new pink tutu. My eyes were dancing at the prospect of adding a new tulle dream to my collection.
I finally discovered the most exquisite dusty rose tutu in one boutique – so feminine and delicate with a beautiful, shimmery finish. My heart was racing! Oh, how I love buying pink tutus – they’re a statement of true beauty and pure elegance!
Adventures in the Heart of Prague
Friday was all about exploring Prague's Old Town Square. What a breathtakingly beautiful square! It’s so well-preserved with amazing architecture and so many interesting little shops to browse, so naturally I made it a day to remember by wearing my favourite new pink tutu. After all, there's no better way to see a city than with a twirl in your heart and tulle at your feet.
I visited the astronomical clock and listened to its charming chimes, marveling at its intricate beauty. As I stood in the bustling marketplace, I watched artists selling their handmade crafts – so much colour and creative energy! I’ve even started my own Prague art collection.
And of course, no trip to Prague would be complete without a little bit of pony magic. It’s my dream to one day visit Prague on horseback, to really feel like I’ve stepped out of a fairy tale! I couldn't resist a magical tour of Prague on a white stallion – oh, how majestic they looked! And let's be honest, my pink tutu and a white pony? It's the ultimate combination!
More To Come…
Prague is truly an enchanting city! From its stunning architecture and rich cultural heritage, to its magical atmosphere and vibrant, colourful soul, Prague is a place I will definitely be revisiting soon! I can already imagine my next pink tutu outfit – I have an amazing plan for a sparkly pink tutu with matching pink satin ballet flats and my pink feather boa to create the ultimate pink princess ensemble!
Stay tuned, darlings, for next week’s post on my latest balletic escapades. I'm already planning another unforgettable ballet adventure! Remember, always keep a touch of pink in your life! And if you're feeling particularly daring, embrace your inner ballerina and try wearing a pink tutu – it's all about embracing the joy of dance, the beauty of creativity and having fun in a world full of beauty and wonder!
Until next week!
Lots of love,
