Hello darlings! It's your favourite tutu-clad traveller, Emma, writing to you from the glorious city of Vienna!
This week's post is a bit special, as it's my 104th Pink Tutu Vienna post, which means we're nearing a milestone – a whole year of adventures! It feels like just yesterday I was nervously embarking on this crazy journey, and look at me now! Dancing my way through Europe, spreading the love of pink tutus and ballet wherever I go. 😉
This week, I've been embracing the magic of Vienna – it's such a beautiful city, full of grandeur and history, with an air of romance and elegance that’s utterly intoxicating. It reminds me a little of London, with its stunning architecture and vibrant energy, but Vienna has a slightly gentler, more dreamy atmosphere, perfectly fitting with its iconic waltz tunes.
Speaking of tunes, my trip to Vienna would be incomplete without a visit to the world-renowned Vienna State Opera. Imagine, a theatre bursting with intricate decorations and exquisite detail, adorned with gilded embellishments and opulent velvet seating! You could practically feel the ghosts of centuries of theatrical legends whispering tales of music and drama in the air. And the ballet was, of course, sensational! Every pirouette, every graceful extension, and every powerful jump, just made me feel alive with a thrilling sense of wonder and appreciation. I could have watched them dance for hours!
Afterwards, I treated myself to a little shopping indulgence in one of Vienna's charming boutique stores. The sheer volume of beautiful vintage items was astounding! Imagine a treasure trove bursting with chic blouses, gorgeous skirts, and exquisitely-tailored dresses - all waiting to be discovered. I simply had to indulge my love of all things pretty and stylish, and found the perfect little black lace dress to take with me on my next grand adventure (which, you might be wondering, is Italy! Oh, the excitement!).
Before heading off, I knew I had to do something that felt distinctly Vienna. And so, on a sunny afternoon, I took a delightful horse-drawn carriage ride around the city's scenic streets. It was just magical, watching the city unfold as I glided along at a leisurely pace, listening to the gentle clopping of horses' hooves against cobblestones. I felt like I had stepped straight out of a classic novel!
You know, as I sit here writing, sipping on a steaming mug of Viennese coffee (don’t worry, I still manage to squeeze my tutu under the table! 😅), I can't help but reflect on how lucky I am. I get to follow my passion for dance, fashion, and travel, sharing my experiences with all of you. I truly believe that life is too short not to embrace our dreams and passions. So, whether you dream of dancing under a sparkling chandelier, finding that perfect vintage dress, or exploring the streets of a city far away, let your dreams guide you, and remember that wearing a pink tutu always makes things just a little bit more fabulous!
Until next week, my darlings,
Your Pink Tutu Blogger,
Emma
