Oh darling, it’s time for another blog post from yours truly, Emma! This week, I’ve been twirling my way through Prague, and oh my, this city has been a whirlwind of charm and inspiration. From its majestic architecture to the buzzing energy of the streets, every corner here screams "Pink Tutu!"
I landed in Prague after a picturesque journey by train – yes, I took the train! Now, I know many of you associate me with ponies and the countryside, but sometimes even this pink tutu-loving ballerina needs a bit of old-school charm. And a train journey through Europe? Well, that’s pure enchantment!
Anyway, enough about the train and let’s get on to the real reason for this post: Prague, a city absolutely overflowing with culture and history. It feels as if every building whispers secrets about the past, each cobbled street paving the way for endless artistic discoveries. You truly get the feeling you’ve stepped into a fairy tale.
First Stop: The National Theatre
Now, I may not be a theatre critic, darling, but even I can recognise excellence. My first stop, naturally, was the magnificent National Theatre. I know what you’re thinking - how could I resist seeing a ballet performance? I couldn’t, could I?
Tonight’s performance was "Swan Lake" by the National Theatre Ballet company. Honestly, I was blown away! The costumes, the dancers, the music - pure perfection! It brought me right back to those early childhood memories of skipping through our local dance studio, daydreaming of performing on a grand stage like this one.
Oh, and speaking of early memories, I just had to take a moment to appreciate the sheer beauty of this historical building itself. Talk about elegant, darling! It truly embodies everything graceful, just like a beautifully executed grand jeté!
Second Stop: The Fashion Scene
After the performance, I couldn’t resist indulging in a bit of Prague’s shopping scene. Let me tell you, darling, the vintage boutiques here are like a dream come true for a tutu-loving girl like me. I picked up the most gorgeous silk scarf adorned with a stunning array of roses, perfectly matching my newest blush-coloured tutu. (I mean, can a girl ever have too many tutus?)
My dear friend Anna (you know, Anna from the famous Anna's Cakes & Cream in Derbyshire) always says that Prague is a city bursting with artistry, not just on the stage but in its shops too. She was right, darling! Everywhere I looked, I was surrounded by inspiration, each object telling a story. The sheer amount of beautiful, intricate handcrafted jewellery nearly sent me into a whirl of excitement.
Oh, and the fashion, darling! Forget Paris, London, Milan – Prague has become the ultimate hub for contemporary chic, I tell you! Everywhere you look, there’s a mix of bold style and effortless charm that only a city like Prague can achieve. The city's youth, so vibrant and full of life, have certainly captured a touch of artistic genius in their unique and creative looks. I couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures for my Instagram – you’ll find them tagged with #PinkTutuPrague!
Tutu Inspiration: A Touch of Baroque
Now, before I finish for the week, I just had to mention the incredible history surrounding Prague. You’re probably all familiar with the famous Prague Astronomical Clock - truly mesmerizing, wouldn't you agree? But Prague’s connection to ballet, you ask? Well, it's actually quite profound!
Did you know that Prague is renowned for its Baroque architecture, with its beautiful ornate details, intricate flourishes, and elaborate structures? And, my dearest readers, do you know what’s at the very core of this Baroque architecture? You’ve guessed it – Movement! That’s right! The fluid lines, the graceful curves, the carefully placed adornments… It's almost like a grand ballet performed in stone!
The connection to my beloved tutus is undeniable. Even those delicate tutus with their swirling tiers and delicate details are intricately constructed – not unlike a magnificent Baroque palace!
This isn’t just me talking out of my pink tutu, darling! It’s a genuine artistic connection, a beautiful synergy that flows throughout history.
And so, my dear readers, I say "goodnight" from Prague, where every moment feels like a performance in a ballet. Remember to dream big, to dance with passion, and to always, always, wear your tutus with pride.
Until next week, darling!
Yours in pink and pointe shoes,
Emma

PS Did you see those gorgeous ballet shoes I bought at the market? I couldn't resist picking up a new pair of ballet pumps. Perfect for a chic street style look in the heart of Prague. I can already see them dancing through my blog posts for the rest of the week!
