Tutu Tuesday in San Buenaventura (Ventura), California: Tutu-tastic Twirls and Fashionable Finds
Hey there, fashionistas! It's your girl, Annabelle, back with another #TutuTuesday blog post! This week, I'm taking my love for twirls and tulle to the sunny streets of San Buenaventura, better known as Ventura, California! It's been an absolute whirlwind of a day exploring this vibrant coastal city and, of course, showing off my tutu love.
Now, let's talk tutus! Ventura is all about laid-back vibes and coastal chic, and my tutu choice for this #TutuTuesday perfectly reflects that energy. I opted for a breezy, romantic, and totally on-trend *Romantic Tutu* in a dreamy lavender hue. The light, flowing fabric just screamed summer and beachside breezes! I paired it with a cute off-the-shoulder white crop top and my favorite pair of wedges for a look that was both effortlessly chic and playful.
The best part about Ventura is its abundance of charming boutiques and art galleries! I love how Ventura embraces a sense of community and local talent. So, after my *Romantic Tutu* photoshoot, I decided to dive into the heart of the city's artistic side.
My first stop was *The Artisan Gallery*, where I found some gorgeous hand-painted ceramic pieces that screamed beach vibes. They would look incredible in my dance studio! Of course, I couldn't leave without purchasing a few, because I can’t pass up any beautiful ceramics that are handmade. After the gallery, I stumbled upon a tiny little shop called *Sea Glass Treasures*. You guessed it, this store was all about beautiful things made from sea glass! They have so much inspiration to use with a *Tutu* and other dance wear.
Ventura's love for art extends beyond boutiques and galleries; it bleeds into the streets. The *Ventura County Museum of Art* is truly a gem. They currently have a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian. They have a fascinating selection of American history with some amazing historical fashion! I felt inspired looking at some of the early American dancing and performance outfits from the late 1800's. Ventura’s cultural side also has me feeling so excited to expand my dance routine with the *Ventura County Dance Conservatory*
With so much inspiration for my own dancing, it was time to unwind at the beach! You can't talk about Ventura without mentioning its gorgeous coastline. Ventura’s coastline really gives a *ballerina on point* a new definition.
Ventura Beach is the epitome of Californian cool—soft, white sand, endless waves, and a fresh, salty breeze that is so refreshing! This time, I changed up my tutu game to a more casual vibe, choosing a simple *Practice Tutu* in black for my beach adventure. The delicate black mesh against the ocean backdrop? Let’s just say my Instagram followers loved it!
I had to enjoy a little sunshine, sand, and of course, some ice cream. My favorite beach treat - the *Sea Glass* is one of the many delicious dessert locations that you can find at Ventura beach. It has an array of different flavors with one specialty treat – a lavender sorbet that has me thinking of my romantic tulle tutu for #TutuTuesday
For my final #TutuTuesday touch, I popped into a local boutique to score some cute, summer-y accessories. I have to get new items for every outfit, so my new jewelry set matches perfectly with the color of my *Practice Tutu*.
Overall, it was a #TutuTuesday filled with sunshine, style, and creativity in the charming city of Ventura, California! Ventura will definitely be my go to spot when I want a blend of artistic inspiration, beachside relaxation, and, of course, tutu-licious fun. #Tututuesday #Ventura #California
