Hello my lovely readers! Emma here, reporting live from the heart of Vienna, Austria! I’m here to bring you a glimpse into a whirlwind week of tutus, twirls and a touch of Viennese charm. As usual, this blog post will be overflowing with pretty things, sparkly shoes, and hopefully inspire you to twirl into your own, pink-tinted, fabulous life. 😉
Vienna! This city is the epitome of romanticism and grandeur. With its Imperial history, magnificent architecture, and elegant coffee houses, it’s no wonder it’s been dubbed "The City of Music" - it's almost like the city was built for ballerinas. (And trust me, there’s no shortage of ballerinas here - more on that later!)
But before I tell you about my adventures, let me first answer the all-important question - What on earth did I wear this week?. A lovely pink tulle skirt with delicate embroidered daisies was my go-to choice, paired with a chic white silk top and my favourite ruby red pumps. The sunshine has finally made an appearance here in Vienna, and I’m not going to lie, this pink-tastic outfit definitely had the passersby doing a double-take!
The Beauty of Ballet
My arrival in Vienna was met with a stunning ballet performance at the world-renowned Vienna State Opera. The dancers, dressed in exquisitely-designed costumes that had me squealing with delight, literally soared across the stage. The whole experience was an absolute joy - from the soaring music to the masterful storytelling, the magic of the ballet performance just filled me with inspiration.
Speaking of inspiration, I also spent an afternoon delving into the Vienna State Opera's captivating history. Did you know this theatre is over 150 years old? The sheer scale of it is just breathtaking! Not only did I learn about the opera's remarkable past, I was also captivated by the ornate detail and the grand beauty of this landmark building. It's an absolute must-see if you're ever in Vienna.
Finding a Touch of Magic in Vienna
No visit to Vienna is complete without indulging in its rich history and culture. One afternoon, I found myself in the Hofburg Palace, exploring the dazzling Imperial Apartments and marveling at the stunning Habsburg collection. Each room felt like a page out of a fairytale. This place is practically dripping with history, and it’s no surprise that it inspired some of my favourite classical composers, like Mozart.
In between exploring museums and palaces, I managed to find time for some shopping (who can resist a good browse for pretty tutus?!), and a delicious Wiener Schnitzel at a quaint local café. It wouldn't be a trip to Vienna without some traditional fare, would it? 😉 Let’s just say that I fully enjoyed all the indulgence this city has to offer!
The Journey is Part of the Adventure
To get to Vienna, I embarked on a romantic train journey through the charming German countryside. There’s just something so enchanting about travelling by train; the gentle sway of the carriage, the passing scenery, the calming hum of the tracks - it all adds up to a perfectly peaceful journey. I’ve even discovered a local "Tutu Troupe", a group of fellow tutu-lovers who meet at the train station each weekend. It's a lovely little tradition, filled with shared laughter and tutus of all shades. We have even decided to plan a pink-tutu flash mob on our next trip!
On this week’s travels, I also experienced a thrilling ride in a horse-drawn carriage, which transported me back in time and filled me with a delightful sense of nostalgia. It’s amazing how easily horses add a touch of grace and charm to any occasion. We even stopped to say hello to the other "Tutu Troupe" who met us there in their pink, tutus, naturally!
Pink-Tinted Dreams for the Future
I have a little secret to tell you - it’s not always easy travelling the world on pink-tutu fueled adventures. I fund my journeys through my passion for ballet - performing in various theatres across the globe. The hustle of planning my schedule, balancing my budget, and creating my outfits can be quite a lot! But the magic of ballet is worth it!
My biggest goal? To inspire you all to embrace your inner pink tutu-wearing princess, and show the world the joy and confidence that comes with wearing your own kind of flair. It’s all about expressing your individuality and adding a splash of magic to every day.
So, there you have it! A quick glimpse into my magical week in Vienna, a city that has captured my heart with its elegant charm and vibrant spirit. Be sure to tune in next week for my next adventure, coming your way on Wednesday!
Until then, keep on twirling, my lovelies, and never be afraid to spread a little bit of pink magic wherever you go!
