Hello, darling darlings! It's your favourite tutu-clad travel companion, Emma, back with another whirlwind adventure, this time straight from the heart of Vienna, Austria! The city is buzzing, the coffee is strong, and my wardrobe is positively bursting with pink tulle!
Wednesday, as you all know, is my favourite day of the week, as it's the day I get to share my adventures with you. And this week's escapade has been a true delight. The past seven days have been a dazzling combination of elegant waltzes, exquisite fashion, and, of course, more pink tutus than you could possibly imagine.
Vienna, My Love
As I arrived in the city by train – my absolute favourite mode of travel – I was immediately transported to a fairytale world. The streets are lined with stunning architecture, the air smells of freshly baked pastries, and the rhythm of waltz music seems to seep into every corner.
Vienna is the home of Mozart, Strauss, and, more importantly for me, a plethora of exquisite ballet performances! This city breathes dance, it lives for its music, and I just know it's going to inspire my upcoming performances.
A Royal Treat
Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be invited to a private performance at the Schönbrunn Palace. Imagine! A performance held in the stunning setting of the royal summer residence of the Habsburg emperors! It was truly magical. The chandeliers sparkled, the costumes were absolutely breathtaking (naturally, several shades of pink!), and the performance was simply spellbinding.
Afterwards, I spent a blissful hour exploring the palace gardens, marveling at the fountains and the sprawling floral arrangements. It felt like I'd stepped back in time, and the air was practically buzzing with history.
Tutu Tales & Vintage Fashion
Speaking of history, I simply had to indulge in a little vintage shopping today! And what a find I made at a small antique shop near the city centre. I stumbled upon a stunning, faded pink tulle tutu dating back to the late 19th century. Imagine - this tutu once danced upon the grand stages of Europe! I snagged it as quickly as I could – it's the perfect addition to my collection and a beautiful piece of dance history.
Dancing on the Streets
While Vienna is famous for its grand, classical ballets, it also boasts a vibrant street dance scene. Today, I had the pleasure of watching a group of dancers in the centre of the city – their energy was infectious and their movements so fluid. It made me realise that dance can happen anywhere, in any form. It's all about the joy of movement and expressing yourself, and Vienna truly embraces that spirit.
Fashion & Indulgence
Of course, no trip to Vienna would be complete without a little fashion indulgence. I’ve already added a new, blush-pink silk dress to my wardrobe – perfect for twirling through the streets of this magical city. Tomorrow, I’m planning to visit the famous Naschmarkt, the vibrant, bustling food and flea market. Rumours are swirling of a stall with vintage tutus. Fingers crossed!
More Than Pink
I know many of you are drawn to my passion for pink and my love for tutus, but Vienna is more than just my love of pink. It's about discovering new cultures, tasting incredible food, and immersing myself in history. I always say that ballet is my passion, but travel is my inspiration. And this city, with its beautiful architecture, stunning parks, and vibrant energy, has truly been an inspirational experience.
Calling all Tutu Lovers
And speaking of inspiration, let me ask you this: when was the last time you twirled in a pink tutu? It’s a feeling that transcends age and style – the lightness of the fabric, the feeling of freedom, the pure joy of a good spin! So, join me, won’t you, on a journey to embrace our inner ballerina and spread a little pink joy?
Catch you next week, darling darlings, for another exciting installment of my Vienna adventure!
Until then,
Keep twirling,
Emma
