Bonjour mes amies!
It's Saturday, the sun is shining, and the city of lights is calling! Today, I'm finally in Paris, darling! I've been dreaming of this trip for ages, and the Eurostar journey was just the perfect way to begin this Parisian adventure. It’s always so exciting taking a train, with the anticipation building as you zip through the countryside and into the city you’ve been waiting for!
My pink tutu, as ever, was the star of the show. Not just because it’s pink (my favourite colour!), but because it’s a little bit sassy and always brings a smile to everyone’s face, making friends wherever I go. Today, it was paired with a delicate lace top and a blush-toned cardigan. A dash of Parisian chic mixed with a sprinkle of whimsical charm!
Paris is just teeming with inspiration, especially for someone like me! Every corner feels like a ballet scene: the cobbled streets, the enchanting cafes, the bustling boulevards… it all calls out for pirouettes and graceful twirls! I’m here for the weekend to indulge in my favourite things - ballet, fashion, and all things beautiful.
Saturday Night Fever
I had a delicious baguette (with butter, of course!), then hopped on the metro, heading straight to the Palais Garnier. It’s so utterly iconic! Tonight, I’m lucky enough to see a performance of Swan Lake - my all-time favourite ballet. Oh, the elegance, the artistry, the raw passion... it’s magical! I may have shed a tear or two during the "Black Swan" scene. But that's alright, because ballet has that effect on me.
Afterwards, it was a late-night dinner at a little bistro with delicious French cheese and wine (who needs to count calories when you're in Paris, darling?).
Sunday Shopping Spree
After a leisurely croissant and coffee, I headed out for my much-anticipated Parisian shopping spree. And let me tell you, my dears, Paris knows how to dress! The boutiques are bursting with elegance and style, from delicate lace dresses to chic, tailored jackets. I managed to snaffle up a few delightful treasures – a delicate silk scarf adorned with Parisian landmarks and a pair of delicate ballerina flats that practically danced themselves onto my feet! I'm pretty sure this outfit will look amazing at my next performance back in Derbyshire.
The Magic of Paris
You know, there’s something truly special about Paris. Maybe it’s the way the sunlight bathes the city in a warm glow, or the sweet smell of freshly baked croissants wafting through the air, or maybe it's just the magic of the city itself. But Paris inspires creativity, wonder, and a sense of joyous freedom that washes over me like a wave. I could get lost in its charming streets for days.
Pink Tutu Parisian Recommendations:
Oh, darling! I’ve had a truly enchanting time, and if you’re planning a trip to Paris, here are a few recommendations:
- Palais Garnier: It's simply a must-visit! And make sure you book a show while you're there. The ballet performances are simply breathtaking.
- Musée Rodin: You have to visit this gorgeous museum showcasing the masterpieces of Auguste Rodin, and yes, they’re beautiful!
- The Tuileries Garden: For a tranquil escape, the Tuileries Garden is absolutely enchanting. I found myself twirling among the flowerbeds, feeling like a true Parisian princess.
- Le Marais: Wander through this charming neighbourhood and soak up its unique vibe.
- Shopping: Oh, darling, the boutiques are overflowing with beautiful clothing and accessories! Just be prepared to fall in love with at least one of them!

I can’t believe this weekend is already drawing to a close. As I sit here, penning these last few words, I already miss the enchanting streets, the delectable pastries, and the thrill of the Parisian ballet. It truly is a city of dreams!
Until next time, darling!
