#PinkTutuVienna blog on 2015-06-17

Hello, my darling lovelies! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing blogger, Emma, back with a whirl of a post from the magnificent Vienna. Buckle up, darlings, because this one's filled to the brim with Viennese waltz, whispers of history, and an abundance of pink tutu fabulousness!

This week, I’m delighted to be gracing the pages of my little pink blog with a whirlwind tour of the Austrian capital! Every Wednesday, I dedicate my post to www.pink-tutu.com, taking you with me on my extraordinary journeys around the world. It's no secret that I travel fuelled by my passion for ballet – every performance I grace the stage in, whether it's a classical piece or a thrilling modern ballet, takes me a step closer to another exciting location.

Vienna, of course, is an absolute dream for a tutu-loving ballerina like me! It’s the very birthplace of the waltz – a dance that’s both elegant and lively, perfectly suited to my own whimsical flair! And the city itself? Oh darling, it’s a symphony of history, culture and beauty – like a grand ballet performance, but played out against the backdrop of breathtaking architecture.

You might wonder how a girl in a pink tutu manages to navigate the grand avenues and charming alleys of a city as prestigious as Vienna. But believe me, darlings, a pink tutu can truly elevate any location to pure whimsy. Think about it, darling! The stark elegance of the Schönbrunn Palace juxtaposed with the bright pop of a vibrant pink tutu… pure enchantment! The Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg, a treasure trove of history – what a stunning backdrop for my perfectly ruffled pink tulle!

Now, it’s no secret I love to embrace the history and heritage of the places I visit, but I always ensure a little pink tutu flair graces the occasion. A perfect pairing indeed! In fact, the city’s renowned architecture seemed almost inspired by a grand tutu ballgown itself - a swirling tapestry of magnificent buildings, just like the layers of tulle in a perfect tutu! I was simply mesmerized.

One of the most magical moments in my Viennese escapade had to be the visit to the Vienna State Opera. It’s a grand, opulent theatre - so magnificent it makes your heart flutter just like a waltz beat. As I gracefully strolled in, I couldn’t help but envision all the iconic ballets that have graced this very stage – from “Swan Lake” to "The Nutcracker”, legends that sparked my passion for ballet. It felt almost sacred, like walking through a living, breathing storybook!

The intricate gold embellishments on the theatre walls mirrored the delicate embellishments on my favourite tutu – the perfect reflection of elegance and finesse. And the sound of the orchestra, playing their intricate compositions, was like the swish of my pink tutu in full flight. Simply sublime!

To complete the Viennese experience, of course, a little shopping indulgence was in order. And my darling, what an exciting discovery I had – a shop called “Modehaus Moser!” Now, the name might be a tad conservative, but don’t be fooled. Within its walls hides an eclectic collection of feminine finery. And let’s not forget, a few pink tutu delights to enhance my own wardrobe – every girl needs a healthy dose of pink!

This was the perfect place to delve into the Austrian fashion scene, browsing through the latest designs and getting inspired by the local trends. But my absolute favourite discovery? A vintage store filled to the brim with fabulous treasures! It was an absolute heaven for a fashionista like myself, with a whole section dedicated to vintage accessories – hats, gloves, jewellery… oh darling, a girl could get lost in that paradise for hours!

After a long day of exploring the historical streets, discovering delightful boutiques, and soaking up the atmosphere, what better way to wind down than a charming horse-drawn carriage ride? It truly captured the spirit of Vienna - a timeless elegance intertwined with modern magic. As the carriage rolled down the beautifully lit avenues, I couldn't help but imagine being in a grand, swirling waltzing scene – the epitome of romance and elegance.

And as the day melted into night, I felt Vienna whisper its magic through the sounds of a local café band. It was the perfect ending to an already unforgettable journey – a combination of cultural delights, enchanting discoveries, and that ever-present dash of pink tutu magic.

This, my dear lovelies, is just a little taste of the delightful magic I encountered in Vienna! It was a journey through history, culture, and above all, sheer sartorial elegance, all wrapped in a pink tutu bow. Stay tuned, because there's a whole world of adventures waiting to be shared in my future posts – all perfectly embellished with a generous dose of pink tutu wonder.

Don't forget to follow my journey on www.pink-tutu.com! See you next Wednesday for another sparkling pink escapade!

With a twirl and a sprinkle of pink glitter,

Emma
