Darling readers, it’s time to twirl! I’m Emma, and you’re reading Pink Tutu Rome, your weekly dose of fashion, travel, and a whole lotta pink! This week, I’m bringing you all the glitz and glamour of the Eternal City – oh, the stories I could tell!
Now, imagine this: the warm, balmy breeze whipping through your hair, a cappuccino in one hand, and the Colosseum standing majestically before you. Mamma Mia, that’s what this city does to you. And I, your favourite ballerina blogger, naturally wearing a perfectly pink tutu over a flowing silk maxi dress – oh, it’s simply divine!
You see, Rome is not just about ancient history and grand architecture; it’s also a city that breathes with fashion. From the vintage boutiques to the high-end designer houses, this city has got a vibe that speaks to my soul. Today, I’m feeling especially sassy in a shimmering pink tutu, a crisp white shirt tucked in, and those fab scarlet shoes you just know are going to get noticed!
And how did I get to this magical place, you ask? Well, darling, I did it in true Pink Tutu fashion, of course! My last performance at the Royal Opera House was a roaring success, and those sweet donations let me hop on the train, making my way across Europe in style. Speaking of trains, have you ever noticed how many people smile when they see you in a pink tutu? It’s like the little ballerina princess that lives inside us all wants to burst forth, don’t you think?
But the true gem of this Roman adventure has got to be the ballet scene here. I’m currently living my best life, enjoying the most incredible show at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. This Sleeping Beauty was breathtaking! You see, darling, there’s just something magical about seeing these tales come to life – those powerful movements, the gorgeous costumes, the way the music sweeps you away. Sigh. I really could get lost in this city for months!
Today, though, I’m planning on indulging my other passion – fashion! After my ballet adventures, I’m headed to the most glamorous vintage boutique I’ve ever seen. They say the clothes here practically whisper “Dolce vita!” I can’t wait to see what kind of pink wonders await!
Speaking of pink, my darlings, did I tell you I have a new vision? Imagine a world where everyone is adorned in a pink tutu – a vibrant, bubbly world full of joy, laughter, and endless twirling! What a magnificent world it would be, don't you agree?
Stay tuned for next week's post!
Love always, * *Emma
