Guten Tag, darling readers! Emma here, your pink tutu-clad correspondent, and this week I've found myself waltzing my way through the enchanting streets of Vienna! Vienna, darling, is simply a feast for the senses. Itâs brimming with majestic palaces, charming coffee houses, and, most importantly for this little ballerina, a glorious dance scene.
It's Wednesday, so of course I'm at my laptop, sipping on some frothy hot chocolate (theyâve mastered the art here, darling!), and sharing my Vienna adventures with you all on my favourite blog - www.pink-tutu.com! This weekâs post is extra special, as I'm not just discussing ballet, but also revealing how I funded this fantastic trip to the heart of Europe. Letâs dive in, shall we?
From Derbyshire to Vienna: A Train Journey in Pink
I arrived in Vienna this morning, and it was like stepping into a vintage film! My journey was a grand affair, starting from the beautiful English countryside of Derbyshire. You'd be surprised how many people know about my pink tutu adventures now, with so many stopping by my carriage to say hello. It's amazing how a little bit of pink can brighten even the gloomiest train journeys!
Travelling by train is such a wonderfully relaxing way to soak in the sights, wouldnât you say? It's a world away from rushing through the air in a stuffy airplane. This trip especially was a dreamy experience. The landscapes were so romantic - rolling hills dotted with charming villages and castles, it's a landscape fit for a fairytale.
Ballet Magic in Vienna: A Night at the Vienna State Opera
My Viennese adventure started with an absolute treat! You see, the beautiful Vienna State Opera was hosting a performance of one of my favourite ballets: âSwan Lake.â Can you believe it? To call it a masterpiece is an understatement! The elegance and skill of the dancers, the majestic set designs, the magical music â everything felt utterly magical.
Let me tell you, Vienna is a real ballet paradise! I spent weeks saving up for this performance, even taking on a few extra ballet classes to refine my own skills (although, my performance is quite a different beast compared to these Viennese dancers!) But you know me, I wouldn't have it any other way. Funding these travels with my passion is what makes each one so incredibly special.
Fashion and Viennese Charm
Of course, a ballerina's visit to Vienna wouldn't be complete without some fantastic fashion moments, would it? Letâs be honest, my pink tutu needs some exquisite companions for all my Viennese adventures! I took to the chic streets of the city to explore some fantastic boutiques, and I am so excited about my purchases. Theyâll be gracing the blog in future posts! I particularly loved the quaint, charming little boutiques nestled down cobbled side streets, full of unique treasures!
The fashion in Vienna is both stylish and traditional, with lots of beautifully tailored outfits. But letâs be honest, darling, who says you canât add a touch of whimsy to traditional outfits? The Austrians seem to love their black, but my pink tutu adds just the right amount of vibrancy, don't you think? Iâve noticed many local Viennese ladies sporting vibrant colours as well, especially around the cityâs cafes and markets.
Vienna: The Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride
Ah, darling, I have to tell you about the most enchanting horse-drawn carriage ride I took this morning. It was truly magical, circling the beautiful Schönbrunn Palace! I even wore a long, sweeping pink skirt for the occasion (just imagine: pink tulle swirling with the breeze!). It was the perfect way to see the grandeur of this magnificent city.
I felt like a princess transported back in time! You see, it's these small details that add up to such memorable experiences.
More Than Ballet: A Parisian Adventure on the Horizon
Iâll be sharing my continued Viennese adventures throughout the week, of course. This week, though, I have to let you in on a little secret: I'm planning a trip to Paris in just a few short weeks! Oh darling, I simply canât wait! Thereâs a magnificent ballet performance Iâve been dying to see - something tells me I'll need to whip out my very best pink tutu! And speaking of, donât forget my mission, my lovely readers, - I'm on a mission to get everyone wearing a pink tutu! So join me, wonât you?
Join Me!

Until next time, stay bright and beautiful, darlings.
Emma, your pink tutu wearing ballerina.
