Ciao bella! It's Wednesday again, and you know what that means… it’s time for another Pink Tutu adventure! This week, I've swapped the Derbyshire hills for the cobbled streets of Rome, Italy. Yep, that’s right, I’m bringing the Pink Tutu magic to the heart of the Eternal City!
Now, you know I love a good train journey, and this one was no exception. I was like a little girl at Christmas, with a huge suitcase full of my Pink Tutu finest and a bag overflowing with girly treats for the ride. The carriage was a rainbow of chattering tourists, but luckily, my bright pink tutu had them all looking! I mean, come on, what's a trip to Rome without a touch of Pink Tutu pizzazz, right?
I’ve landed in a city that feels like a scene from a film! Every corner has history swirling around it like a swirling cloud of tulle. From the Colosseum to the Roman Forum, the Vatican, and the beautiful fountains of Piazza Navona, I'm on a quest to discover all the pink-tastic hidden gems Rome has to offer.
This morning, I woke up feeling very much like a Pink Tutu princess in her castle, surrounded by the charm of my little Airbnb. I’ve been indulging in a breakfast of pastries so divine they’d make even the most jaded foodie swoon. It’s truly an experience to just sit back, sip your cappuccino (a must-have when you’re in Rome!), and soak up the Italian sun.
Speaking of things that make my heart sing, last night, I had the absolute pleasure of watching a stunning ballet performance at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. It was like a dream - beautiful costumes, intricate choreography, and the most moving music. The entire theatre seemed to hold its breath with each graceful step. And my pink tutu? It certainly caught the eye! I got some compliments from the most stylish Italian ladies - just imagine the chicest chic you can think of and add a sprinkle of Pink Tutu fairy dust! They were totally on board with the idea of tutus and just wanted to know where I bought it from. You can't resist the Pink Tutu vibe!
Of course, my day wasn't complete without a little retail therapy! Rome is a shopper’s paradise, and I've been having a blast discovering all the hidden boutiques and ateliers. I’m so excited to share my latest finds with you all! I’ve already picked up a gorgeous new pink leather bag that will be perfect for my Pink Tutu travels. And I found this absolutely stunning tulle skirt that’s practically begging for a Pink Tutu party!
This afternoon, I’m taking a break from all the sightseeing and fashion fun. I’m heading to a cute little ballet studio just around the corner. I'm thinking a little Pink Tutu practice at a Roman ballet school would make for some beautiful memories. Plus, my legs definitely deserve a little stretch after all those cobbled streets.
Now, if you’re picturing a Parisian café scene, I have something even more delicious for you - gelato! The best I've ever tasted! (Although, that Pink Tutu ice cream from Derbyshire holds a special place in my heart.)
Rome is full of such magic, and my Pink Tutu is going to be soaking up every moment. The people are warm and welcoming, the food is amazing, the fashion is chic and inspiring… It’s pretty much my perfect Pink Tutu dream destination!
I’ll be back here next week, Wednesday as always, to share more Pink Tutu adventures! Until then, stay bright, stay pink, and don't forget to wear a smile (and maybe a tutu!), wherever life takes you.
