Ciao bella! It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another Pink Tutu adventure, this time from the magical city of Rome! As you know, I'm a massive fan of travel and my recent ballet performances have given me the chance to explore this gorgeous city, a place I've dreamed of visiting for ages. So buckle up, my dears, because we're diving into a week of fashion, food, and fun!
Rome, You Had Me at “Buongiorno”
The train journey here from Derbyshire was, as always, a total dream! I spent the time catching up on my latest ballet reads and scribbling down ideas for my upcoming Pink Tutu London show (shhhh! It’s a secret, but I can’t wait to tell you all about it!) As we rattled along, I couldn't help but marvel at the changing landscapes and daydream about all the stunning sights that awaited me in Rome.
I’ve been absolutely smitten with Rome from the moment I arrived. There’s something so enchanting about this ancient city; its cobbled streets lined with ancient buildings, the tantalizing aroma of fresh pasta wafting through the air, and the joyful chatter of locals as they stroll through Piazza Navona, soaking up the sun.
A Pink Tutu Dream in the Eternal City
Now, Rome and fashion go hand-in-hand, darling! I mean, just the iconic Dolce & Gabbana designs – utterly fabulous! Of course, no Pink Tutu adventure would be complete without some fabulous shopping. From designer boutiques to bustling markets, Rome is a treasure trove of beautiful pieces, waiting to be discovered.
My latest Pink Tutu find? A glorious, flowy pink silk scarf, the perfect accessory to elevate any outfit. And guess what? It’s totally ballerina-inspired, featuring a delicate floral motif – think cascading petals and delicate vines, it’s like a piece of the Colosseum itself woven into the design. I've already worn it on a romantic stroll through the gardens of the Villa Borghese, the soft fabric swirling around me like a ballerina's tutu!
Speaking of ballet, I stumbled upon the most divine dance studio tucked away in a quiet courtyard off the Via Veneto. It's charming, with its exposed brick walls and warm, inviting light. You wouldn't believe the fantastic energy that emanated from the place! After all, you can't visit the city of dance without dipping your toes, figuratively speaking, into a ballet class!
I was amazed by the vibrant ballet scene here in Rome. Imagine my joy when I saw a beautiful advertisement for a ballet show at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma! A classic Swan Lake performance, and oh my, it was perfection! I found myself completely captivated by the delicate moves and the passionate energy on stage. It’s fair to say my love of ballet was renewed after that exquisite performance.
Pink Tutus for Everyone (including the Colosseum!)
As we journeyed through the heart of Rome, exploring hidden gems like the Trevi Fountain, I had a rather brilliant idea. You see, Rome is a city of incredible history and romance – imagine if every corner had a touch of Pink Tutu magic! My imagination started to run wild; envision a tour guide sporting a pink tutu whilst regaling you with tales of Roman gladiators!
Perhaps I could create a special performance right on the steps of the Colosseum, a whirlwind of graceful movement and bright pink against the backdrop of this ancient marvel. What a sight that would be! Don't you agree, darling? My Pink Tutu vision for the future is a world where everyone, regardless of age, nationality or background, embraces their inner ballerina – and who better to spread that message than right here in the heart of Italy?
Sharing the Pink Tutu Joy with You!
Of course, you'll be hearing more about my Roman escapades next week! Keep a lookout on www.pink-tutu.com for next week's Pink Tutu post. As always, my sweet darlings, don't hesitate to join the fun on Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter, because every journey with Pink Tutu is a beautiful one!
Love,
Emma
