Hello darlings!
This week, I’m sending you all a big pink hug from Vienna! It's been a whirlwind, and I'm simply brimming with excitement to tell you all about it! Remember that feeling when you're just bubbling over with joy, wanting to share it with the whole world? Well, that's me right now!
Post number 441, direct from Vienna!
As you know, I’m all about finding beauty in every corner of the world. And Vienna, oh Vienna, is like a little fairytale come true! The architecture, the music, the charming coffee houses… it's almost impossible to tear myself away! I even spotted a beautiful white horse drawn carriage while strolling through the park! Talk about romantic! It reminded me so much of those stunning ballet productions where the horse and rider gallop through a magical forest, it was like a real life scene!
A Whirlwind Ballet Week
This week, I've been diving headfirst into the Vienna ballet scene! As you know, I adore the grace and artistry of ballet, so it’s no surprise that I’m just over the moon to be here, in the city that is synonymous with ballet history! On Monday, I spent the afternoon lost in the Austrian National Library, surrounded by ancient manuscripts of music and ballet. Did you know Mozart and Strauss used to dance here? They’d waltz, twirl, and pirouette in these very halls!
But my love affair with ballet this week has not just been in historical settings. Oh no, my darling, I've been completely immersed in contemporary performance too!
The highlight was absolutely a mesmerizing performance at the Vienna State Opera. We were all completely captivated, as the graceful ballerinas glided and twirled, each move a stroke of artistry! The costumes, oh darling, were divine! One ballerina’s shimmering silver tutu looked almost alive, sparkling like a million tiny stars!
Fashionable finds and Shopping sprees!
Of course, no trip to Vienna is complete without a little retail therapy! I confess, I may have gone a little overboard at the shops. This city is like a fashion fairyland, with so many chic boutiques offering everything from delicate Viennese lace to gorgeous silk dresses. You could call me a walking fashion disaster but my dear readers, I find true happiness and purpose in each tulle purchase, trust me.
One little gem I found is a shop tucked away in a quaint alley, overflowing with the most delightful accessories. I snagged the perfect pair of ruby red ballet shoes with a delicate velvet ribbon! It was like the shoes were waiting just for me! I can already imagine myself waltzing through the streets of Vienna, these adorable ruby slippers twinkling on my feet.
A Vienna Delight:
Another absolute delight has been discovering the many charming cafes in the city! There's nothing quite like sipping a cup of rich coffee, indulging in a decadent Viennese pastry and people-watching while I do some serious writing! Every little detail in the cafes, the exquisite china, the soft classical music – it's an experience that sends my senses reeling! I know exactly where I’ll be sipping my coffee every morning, dear reader. It’s like walking straight out of a beautiful fairytale, but in a real, vibrant, enchanting city, my dears.
And did I mention the delicious Viennese Schnitzel?! It's the most divine thing you could possibly imagine, perfectly crispy and golden. The smell of it wafts through the streets, tempting your senses at every turn. It's like Vienna's version of a ballerina’s dress. Light, delicious and almost… beautiful, no?
My Pink Tutu Dream for Vienna:
You know how I always say I want to see the world wearing pink tutus, right? Well, dear readers, it seems Vienna has caught on to my pink-tutu vision! I spotted a delightful little boutique selling the most incredible pink tutus - fluffy, full, and fabulous! It was like they were meant for me! Imagine Vienna waltzing down the streets, adorned in a cascade of tulle, how absolutely delightful, no?
The owner was thrilled with my passion, we talked for hours about tutus and ballet, a pink-tutu obsessed girl's dream! She even showed me some sketches of designs for an exclusive line of "Pink Tutu Vienna" collection for next season. This is something I can truly get behind, darling. We are aiming to have the first Pink Tutu Parade down the grand Ringstrasse in Vienna for spring! My, it’s quite an ambitious vision, isn’t it, my dear readers?
I believe that a pink tutu can transform the world. It represents confidence, joy, and a sense of playful fun. Just think of the delight! The streets of Vienna, with the magical waltzing of tutus, a scene worthy of a ballet masterpiece. I must share this vision, dear readers! We shall transform this world, one tulle cascade at a time.
Until next week, Vienna…and until next Wednesday, dear readers, Yours always, in a flurry of tulle, Emma
