Good morning, darlings!
Itâs Emma here, your pink tutu-clad correspondent, back from the most incredible trip to Vienna. Now, let me tell you, this city is practically made for pink tutus! I canât tell you how many times I felt like Iâd stepped straight onto a waltz in a grand Viennese opera house.
I know what youâre thinking, âEmma, youâve only been here for a few days. Whatâs so special about Vienna?â
Oh, darling, trust me, thereâs magic in the air here!
From Derbyshire to Vienna - A Whirlwind of Fashion and Flouncy Frocks
Vienna and its grandeur is everything I hoped for and more. We travelled by train, of course. Who needs a stuffy plane when you can relax with a cuppa and a good book in your fabulous pink tutu?
I wore my newest creation: a soft, billowing tulle tutu in a delicate blush pink. I added a vintage velvet jacket, pearl earrings, and a silk scarf, because a little elegance goes a long way!
Day One: waltzing through History and Shopping in a Tutu
The moment I arrived, I knew Iâd be in my element. Every street corner whispered history and elegance, and let me tell you, the architecture is breathtaking. I could practically hear the violins playing waltzes in the air!
Of course, a pink tutu wearer canât resist the temptation of shopping, especially in Vienna. We hit the cobblestone streets, hopping from one designer boutique to the next. I discovered the most divine pair of ballet pumps, perfect for twirling through the city streets! And can you believe the number of incredible vintage shops? Theyâre chock full of exquisite vintage dresses and delicate gloves â just the thing to complement my ever-growing pink tutu collection.
An Evening at the Vienna State Opera
No trip to Vienna would be complete without a performance at the legendary Vienna State Opera House. Now, darlings, this place is absolutely stunning! From the gilded chandeliers to the plush red velvet seats, everything oozed with refined grandeur.
We saw an absolutely sensational performance of Mozartâs âDon Giovanni,â and the music truly touched my soul. There was a magic in the air, a sense of magic and history that truly made the evening unforgettable. Of course, my pink tutu was in full effect, creating quite a stir in the grand lobby!
The Schönbrunn Palace - Royal Elegance and Pink Tutus
Now, what would a trip to Vienna be without visiting the legendary Schönbrunn Palace? The sheer beauty of it stole my breath!
This is where history comes alive, where royalty once roamed, and where the grandeur of Austria shines. The palace gardens were a sight to behold, a floral extravaganza bursting with colours and textures. I waltzed through them like a fairytale princess, the pink tutu swirling with every movement. I couldnât resist snapping some photos for my instagram. #PinkTutuVienna #Schönbrunn
A Farewell Waltz to Vienna
Leaving Vienna felt like saying goodbye to a dear friend. It's a city that captures the heart and inspires the soul. Every cobblestone street, every grand palace, and every piece of music told a story of beauty, art, and timeless elegance.
Vienna is a city that definitely deserves a pink tutu and a twirl. As I write this, Iâm already planning my next visit. You canât have too much Viennese waltz and shopping, can you, darling?
Until next Wednesday, when we explore another incredible city. Remember to check in with my website, www.pink-tutu.com.
And always, always wear a pink tutu!

P.S. Did you see my latest performance? I danced to "The Blue Danube Waltz" for a special charity event last weekend! Watch it on my website. I wore my limited-edition silver sequined tutu - I thought it fit perfectly with the magical air of Vienna.
