Ciao, darlings! Emma here, straight from the cobbled streets of Rome! 🇮🇹 Can you believe it's already June? Time truly does fly when you're waltzing through life in a pink tutu, don't you think? 💖
This week's post is bursting with all the sunshine-y loveliness that only Rome can offer. ☀️ Picture it: me, twirling under the Roman sky in my favourite bubblegum pink tutu, with the Colosseum looming majestically in the background! (I'm hoping to sneak in a few impromptu pirouettes for my next Instagram post... fingers crossed!)
As you know, my dear readers, I'm an absolute train fanatic. The romance of rail travel really gets my creative juices flowing! And this trip was no exception. The journey from Derbyshire, England to Rome was nothing short of magical! I always try to sit near the front of the train, to get the best view as we snake our way through picturesque countryside and quaint villages. (Don't forget my pink tulle luggage, darling! It's the perfect accent to any train journey!)
Anyway, back to Rome! I must say, my first impression of this incredible city was a sensory explosion! From the moment I stepped off the train at Termini Station, I was bombarded with vibrant sights, sounds, and even scents - the smell of freshly brewed espresso just hangs in the air! ☕ It felt like stepping onto a stage, ready for the most exhilarating performance of my life.
Speaking of performances, darling, I must tell you about the absolutely divine ballet performance I witnessed last night! The Teatro dell'Opera di Roma is a simply breathtaking venue - so grand and elegant. The dancers were divine, and their costumes? Well, they put even my fanciest pink tutus to shame! The choreography was just sublime - so delicate and full of passion, and I literally gasped when they ended the performance with a dramatic arabesque!
Oh, and the fashion scene here is beyond compare! I've been shopping until my tutu almost fell off, darlings! Rome is truly a shopper's paradise, with high-end boutiques and little hidden gems on almost every street. I picked up some fabulous new accessories to match my new pink tulle skirt (and a beautiful silk scarf, which I will undoubtedly be twirling in for my next performance!)
You know how much I adore discovering local street performers, don't you? And let me tell you, Rome has some serious talent! Last night, I witnessed the most wonderful busker on the Via Veneto, a young man playing the violin with so much heart and soul, his music transported me straight into the world of a classic ballet! It was pure magic! ✨
One of the things I adore most about travel is discovering local delicacies, and darling, let me tell you - Italian food is nothing short of a revelation! Fresh pasta, crisp salads, melt-in-your-mouth pizzas... It's like a taste of heaven, and don't even get me started on the gelato! 🍦 I'm making sure I sample as many flavours as I can before I leave!
But enough about me, darlings. I want to hear all about your favourite pink tutu moments! Don't forget to share them on our Pink Tutu website forum!
Remember, the world is a stage, and it's our job to bring joy and colour to every performance. So, get your pink tutus on and twirl with passion, darlings! You never know, you might just inspire someone to follow their dreams!
Ciao, for now!
With love and sparkles,
Emma
