Welcome back, darlings! It's Wednesday, and you know what that means - a brand new adventure awaits on www.pink-tutu.com. Today we're venturing into the heart of Europe, to the stunning city of Vienna, a place that, honestly, could be straight out of a fairytale!
This is post number 1038, and Vienna feels like a homecoming of sorts. It’s brimming with history, art, and that touch of magic that sends my soul into a pirouette. It's the perfect city to revel in all things elegant, theatrical, and of course, undeniably pink!
I landed yesterday, feeling like a whimsical character straight from the ballet. And believe me, darlings, my tulle was billowing in the wind, each twirl an homage to the waltzing Viennese charm that already had me utterly captivated.
My journey started with a whimsical train journey from my beloved Derbyshire. You know I love a good train adventure! My little compartment, thankfully, was adorned with a glorious pastel pink colour scheme, which meant I could continue my trend of wearing pink – it really was my personal carriage! I had a lovely view of rolling hills, sparkling streams, and charming little towns whizzing by.
Vienna: Where pink reigns supreme!
Upon arriving, my heart simply did a joyful pirouette as I was greeted by a vision of glorious, swirling art nouveau architecture. Imagine turrets topped with pastel-hued rooftops, all bathed in the golden glow of the late afternoon sun – a scene so enchanting it felt straight out of a storybook!
Now, darlings, my adventures have only just begun. Let me tell you, my diary is bursting with enchanting escapades for this week!
Tonight: Ballet under the Viennese stars!
The world-famous Vienna State Opera awaits, and oh, my dears, I cannot wait. It's a masterpiece of a building – all grand staircases, sparkling chandeliers, and velvet-covered seats that promise to whisper tales of bygone ballets. Tonight, they're presenting "The Sleeping Beauty." I've already donned a matching, celestial-print tutu, ready to step into a world of magic.
Tomorrow: Tutu-ing the town
My little Vienna guidebook assures me that the city has a special affection for its grand palaces. The Schönbrunn Palace is said to be truly spectacular, complete with cascading gardens and ornate ballrooms. Now, can you imagine my tulle twirling in the grand salons? Just the thought makes my inner ballerina soar!
The Week ahead: Fashion, Dance and History galore!
I'll be diving headfirst into all things pink and Parisian. Vienna has an incredible scene for haute couture and, well, you can already guess what this fashionista is planning! Think charming vintage shops nestled amidst designer boutiques, with everything from decadent gloves to delightful feather boas – pure vintage-tutu magic.
But there's more than just fashion and glamour in this magnificent city. This weekend, we'll be venturing to the Hofburg Palace. The very place where Mozart danced! Yes, darling, even royalty indulged in the joy of twirling! I imagine all the grand balls, the waltzes in shimmering gowns, and the excitement of a historical ballet.
Then, there’s a delightful vintage clothing market taking place on Saturday, a treat for a girl who loves a touch of the bygone era, and naturally, I plan to attend a local ballet class, just for a little pirouette practice. My love for ballet, even when not on the stage, is a constant passion!
And what would a trip to Vienna be without indulging in the delightful Viennese pastries and the comforting melody of classical music echoing from every corner? Imagine strolling past the Vienna Opera House and soaking in the musical heritage of the city, perhaps enjoying a little concert for the soul!
But most of all, I’ll be relishing the incredible joy of dancing, fashion, and history, all bundled together in one extraordinary city. I am going to soak in every single moment. This, darling, is the kind of adventure that makes my heart skip a beat and my pink tutu spin.
Oh, before I forget – the perfect accessory for a trip to Vienna? Well, obviously, a pink tutu! 😉

Till next week, darlings, remember, even in a city like Vienna, pink reigns supreme! 💖
