Hello, darlings! It's Emma here, your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, and I'm thrilled to be back with another fabulous blog post, straight from the heart of Vienna.
Today's post, dear readers, is all about waltzing into Vienna, and a symphony of delights. If you haven't guessed, I'm simply smitten with this city. The magnificent architecture, the grand cafes, the delicious food, the lively street performers - it's truly magical.
Now, let's talk about my outfit! As I gracefully waltzed down the cobbled streets of Vienna this week, I donned a stunningly pink tutu (naturally!) – a fluffy, feathered number that swirled and twirled like a Viennese waltz. I paired it with a beautiful white lace blouse, adding a touch of delicate charm, and of course, my signature pink ballet shoes – because why settle for less?
As the sun was setting on the glorious skyline, casting a rosy hue across the city, I made my way to the magnificent Vienna State Opera House. This grand edifice is a breathtaking spectacle - with its opulent decor and history steeped in ballet. The performances here are truly unforgettable – the dancers glide across the stage, their grace and artistry leave me speechless. It’s almost like stepping into a fairytale!
On Tuesday, I ventured to the Schönbrunn Palace - a beautiful, sprawling estate that oozed royal elegance. The palace itself is truly impressive – filled with gilded mirrors and lavishly decorated halls. However, it was the gardens that stole my heart! They're bursting with blooms and intricate statues - the perfect setting for a romantic afternoon. And of course, I couldn’t resist a spin on the grand Gloriette – a structure with stunning views of the city! As I twirled my pink tutu under the summer sun, I felt as though I was in a beautiful ballet set.
But what's a visit to Vienna without sampling the local delicacies? Vienna is a gourmand's paradise - from the mouthwatering Sachertorte (which I devoured in one go, with a giggle) to the divine Wiener Schnitzel - every bite is a flavourful symphony. I even found a charming little cafe where they served my favourite, Wiener Melange - the perfect afternoon pick-me-up!
To really immerse myself in Viennese culture, I joined a horse-drawn carriage ride - what an absolutely enchanting experience! The clip-clop of the horse's hooves as we meandered through the cobblestone streets, the gentle breeze whispering secrets in my ears – pure magic!
However, Vienna isn't all waltzes and schnitzels! My search for ballet inspiration led me to the Museum of the History of Art. I was blown away by the incredible collection of paintings, sculptures, and art objects! I particularly enjoyed exploring their Ballet and Dance collection. There are fascinating costumes, sketches and even handwritten letters by legendary dancers. It was a truly inspirational afternoon, filled with artistic wonder and elegance.
As I write this blog, my heart is brimming with gratitude. Vienna is a city that will forever hold a special place in my pink-tutu-loving heart! Its blend of imperial grandeur, artistic flair and vibrant cultural life has captivated my senses, filling me with a sense of joy and wonder.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to a local park to practice some Viennese Waltz steps. Who knows, maybe I'll meet a charming prince (who has a fondness for pink tutus!). I'll be sure to update you on my escapades next week.
Until then, darling readers, stay fabulous! Remember to twirl with confidence and always add a sprinkle of pink magic to your life!
Lots of love and twirls, Emma 💖
