Hello darlings! Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-clad ballerina, writing to you live from the enchanting city of Prague! This week, I've been swept off my feet by a whirlwind of beautiful ballet, charming cobbled streets, and a whole lotta pink! 💖
I'm still buzzing from my trip to the National Theatre last night - the ballet performance was simply divine! I absolutely adored the performance of La Bohème, a timeless story set against the backdrop of bohemian Paris. The choreography was exquisite, showcasing the skill and passion of the dancers. It had me absolutely glued to my seat, mesmerized by their graceful movements and the rich emotions conveyed through their dancing.
Before I dive into all the details, I have to show off my new, perfectly Prague-themed outfit! I was absolutely delighted to find the most adorable pink tutu at a quaint little shop nestled in the Old Town Square. The fabric was the lightest, most delicate shade of pink, and the design was a touch more elegant and flowing than my usual choice. I just knew I had to have it! And what better way to pair it with a new tutu than with a flowing floral dress? A splash of fuchsia added the perfect touch of vibrancy, complementing the delicate blush tones of my tutu. It was simply heavenly. And the most exquisite touch? A stunning pair of white ballerina pumps, chosen specifically for their whimsical charm! 👠 After all, you can never go wrong with classic ballerina shoes. They’re timeless!
The Power of PinkI have to say, I'm really loving the energy of Prague. The city itself feels so romantic and elegant, almost like a fairy tale. Everywhere I turn, I’m struck by the beauty of the architecture and the captivating charm of the streets. Prague truly embodies the graceful beauty of a ballerina. 🩰
Speaking of beauty, I can't get enough of Prague’s vintage boutiques! I spent the whole morning yesterday hunting for treasures – you won't believe what I found! I stumbled upon the most exquisite vintage collection of ballet shoes, complete with pink satin ribbons. I couldn't resist picking up a pair of stunning velvet ballet flats – a perfect homage to the era when ballet dancers were celebrated for their elegance. Oh, and the colours? Absolutely heavenly! They matched my new tutu perfectly, naturally. 😉
I've also found a rather fabulous little café serving the most delicious, light-as-a-feather cupcakes, called “Tutus & Tea.” Of course, I couldn’t resist a pink velvet cupcake, and it was the perfect sugar rush for my ballet-filled day.
On The Trail of TutusToday, I'm off on a little adventure. I'm going to the Dancing House! Yes, that's right – a building shaped like two dancing figures! 💃🕺 It’s truly an architect’s dream! I can't wait to take photos of it, especially wearing my new pink tutu.
But before I dash off, I thought I'd share a little bit of the history of tutus with you all. Did you know the first tutus, also known as “tutu a la romantique,” weren't those full, fluffy beauties you see today? They were actually much more modest! It wasn't until the mid-19th century that tutus began to take on the more voluminous shape we're familiar with today! Now, who can imagine a world without the fluff? 😉
Anyway, I'll share more of my adventures soon! I’ve got a feeling my trip to Prague is going to be an absolute ballet-filled dream!
Until next week,
Emma 💕
