Hello my dearest Tutu-lovers!
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for another dazzling dose of Pink Tutu Vienna! This week, I'm waltzing through the glorious city of Vienna, where the music flows as effortlessly as the Danube itself, and the air hums with the echoes of emperors and ballerinas. I'm feeling incredibly inspired by the magnificent waltzes of Strauss and the ethereal grace of the Vienna State Opera – a truly magical combination!
This is post number 224 from the wonderful city of Vienna, and I’m positively giddy to share this adventure with you all!
Oh Vienna!
What can I say about this captivating city? It’s like stepping into a fairytale! The grandeur of Schönbrunn Palace, the regal air of the Hofburg Palace, and the romantic charm of the Prater – Vienna is brimming with history, art, and music. And the most exciting thing? I just got to experience the Vienna State Opera! I have to admit, it wasn't my first trip to see a ballet at the Vienna State Opera; my love affair with this venue goes way back to my last trip here in 2020! The grandeur of the opera house alone is enough to steal your breath away, with its grand staircases, opulent velvet seating, and a majestic stage that simply demands to be filled with the artistry of dance.
My recent performance there was for a gala benefit, with the audience dressed to the nines in sparkling attire. But naturally, I outshone them all with my signature Pink Tutu!
From Derbs to the Danube – My Tutu Travels
Now, if you’re reading this from Derbyshire like myself, you know how much I cherish my travels. But I always, always, ALWAYS make sure my Pink Tutu accompanies me wherever I go! The journey from Derbs to Vienna this time was as exciting as ever, travelling by the magical medium of train. The scenery zipping by from the window – fields, rivers, rolling hills – were a perfect reminder that the world is bursting with beauty, waiting to be discovered.
The Ballet, the Shops, and the Fashion!
You all know how much I adore watching ballets! So of course, one of my first stops was a ballet class! There was nothing more blissful than spending a morning lost in the beauty of movement with a group of incredibly talented dancers, and in the midst of the whirling and twirling, I even got the chance to don my Pink Tutu for some photos! The other students adored it, as you can imagine.
Later in the day, I found myself whisked away by horse and carriage! Can you imagine the feeling? I looked and felt like a princess from one of the romantic fairy tales this city inspires. I don't think I've ever felt so whimsical in all my life!
Vienna is a city that takes you back to the golden age of fashion, a period of romantic silhouettes, opulent lace, and sumptuous brocade. And I simply cannot resist the pull of a well-stocked vintage shop! I spent the entire afternoon combing through the most exquisite gowns, hats, and accessories, dreaming up all the amazing outfits I could create with my beloved Pink Tutu. There's a magic about those bygone eras, a timeless elegance that just begs to be rediscovered!
And oh, speaking of vintage style! Today, for my stroll through Vienna's picturesque streets, I was rocking an outfit straight from the pages of a fashion history book! I teamed my signature Pink Tutu with a beautifully ornate cream lace bodice that I found in a vintage store – imagine a corseted ballerina! And as a final touch, I donned a gloriously extravagant black and gold feathered hat, with the fluffiest plume you've ever seen! I simply adore how this vintage look brings a splash of old Hollywood glamour to my vibrant pink tutu – pure fabulousness, I must say!
Finding Inspiration Everywhere – The Pink Tutu Diaries
You know, the thing I love most about travelling is the constant stream of inspiration. Vienna, in particular, has a truly remarkable flair, which makes it easy to feel as though I've been transported back in time! Everything here, from the grand architecture to the exquisite coffee houses, whispers stories of the past – and it fills me with endless ideas for my own Pink Tutu ensembles.
Even the ordinary is extraordinary here – I find inspiration in the most unexpected places! For instance, earlier this week, while taking a leisurely stroll through one of Vienna’s parks, I noticed the delicate petals of a wildflower peeking out from amongst the grass. I immediately knew it had to be incorporated into my latest Pink Tutu creation – imagine a petal-adorned tutu, so delicate and feminine! Perhaps a soft blush pink with a subtle scattering of delicate white blooms. I'll have to see if I can track down some real flowers!
This whole trip has got me dreaming about Pink Tutus – long and short, sparkling and shimmering. It's a constant reminder of the joy that comes from expressing oneself through clothing, a joy that can't be confined to any specific time or place.
So there you have it, my dearest tutu-lovers! My Vienna adventure is already unfolding, and it’s already packed full of elegance, waltzing tunes, and endless inspiration. I'm thrilled to be sharing every delightful moment with you all through Pink Tutu Vienna!
Now, tell me, my sweet ballet-lovers – what are you all up to this week? Do you have any wonderful ballet performances lined up, exciting travels planned, or maybe you've been exploring new ways to wear a Pink Tutu? Be sure to let me know! And most importantly, don’t forget to always add a dash of pink to your day. Remember – every day is a ballet!
Until next Wednesday, stay twirling, and always remember, there's no wrong way to wear a Pink Tutu!
Lots of love, Emma x
