Ciao Bella, my lovelies! This is your fabulous Pink Tutu, reporting live from the Eternal City of Rome! Yes, it's true - your girl Emma is officially in Italy! Can you believe it? 🤯 I'm still pinching myself!
This week, on Wednesday 21st April 1999, the Pink Tutu Express landed in the heart of Rome. My journey began, as usual, in good ol' Derbyshire. My train ticket was adorned with my favourite colour, pink of course (I did some fancy schmancy "colour swap" magic on it at the station - don't you love when you can make a boring old ticket more pink fabulous?), and the trip was truly magical. 🚄
The carriage was a sight to behold, filled with excited chatter and families all decked out in their travel best. You know I couldn't resist joining in! A splash of pink never goes amiss, especially on the Eurostar! 🌸 My fellow travellers couldn't help but smile, their eyes drawn to my delightful pale pink tulle tutu and my shimmering pink feather boa. I'm just happy to spread a little pink cheer! 💖
The beauty of Rome struck me instantly. Even in the station, the air crackled with a sense of history and culture. Imagine my excitement at finally arriving at Termini Station, a bustling hub filled with fascinating people, charming cafes, and a captivating mix of vintage Italian chic and modern styles. The moment my feet touched Roman soil, I knew I was in for a wild ride of culture, food, fashion, and of course, fabulous ballet! 💃
Speaking of ballet, Rome is overflowing with such fantastic shows! I’ve already snagged a ticket for the incredible Swan Lake performance at Teatro dell’Opera di Roma on Friday night. I can’t wait to see how the Italians translate the timeless tale, I’m expecting the most breathtaking sets and costuming imaginable. ✨
The fashion here is divine, darling! Just wandering around the streets of Rome, it’s like stepping into a living and breathing fashion magazine. I’ve spotted so many trendy cafes, chic boutiques, and even street performers wearing the most dazzling outfits, inspiring a whirlwind of fashion inspiration. You know my pink heart was already in heaven, but the sartorial brilliance of this city has just made it so much sweeter. I can't wait to hit the markets and boutiques later, I've got a list a mile long and a suitcase full of exciting possibilities! 💖🛍️
My favourite part of the journey is definitely the discovery process. Finding hidden gems and unexpected beauty. I mean, this whole "travel on a whim" approach isn't just about exploring new places, it's also about discovering who you are when you step outside your comfort zone, embrace the unfamiliar and celebrate the sheer joy of life!
You're with me on this journey, my lovelies. Follow along every week, as I chronicle my escapades in the pinkest way possible, because as we know, a life without a pink tutu just isn't quite the same, darling! 💖
Stay tuned, because next week's post is all about exploring the cobblestone streets of Rome and discovering a hidden gem that's sure to leave you saying "Mamma Mia!"
See you next Wednesday! XOXO, Emma 💋
