Caen, Normandy - #tututuesday

G'day, fashionistas! It's your girl, Elle, back from the City of Lights – well, technically, the City of Churches, but hey, Paris is just a hop, skip, and a tutu away from Caen. I’ve been living my best ballet life exploring Normandy and taking in all the artistic beauty that this beautiful region of France has to offer.

Now, listen up, my darlings, because this post is dedicated to a day that deserves its own special spotlight: Tutu Tuesday! You know how I feel about a bit of a classic tulle. And lemme tell you, Caen knows how to do a bit of tutu!

If you're looking for a ballet class in Caen, don't worry, there are some awesome dance schools and studios to choose from. I checked out some incredible classes – all of them filled with passionate students – so you know you'll get a real taste of French dance culture.

But, you can't talk about Caen and tutu without giving a shout out to the Centre Dramatique National of Normandy. It's got a fantastic programme for dance and performing arts, and its dance performances – well, they’ll make your heart sing and your soul do a pirouette!

But Tutu Tuesday isn't just about class, you see! It’s about embracing the ballet-inspired fashion in your everyday life.

  • Let’s get those tulle skirts and poofy petticoats on show! Just because it's Tuesday doesn't mean it’s not tutu time, right?
  • We’re rocking a romantic Parisian look today – imagine a flowing dress or skirt with a classic ballet-inspired colour, like ivory, cream or pastel pink. Just imagine those picturesque streets in Normandy with a splash of elegant colour!
  • It's about experimenting with colours. How about a beautiful pastel palette – the soft blue and white, the sunny yellow and green, even some pops of blush or light coral!
  • The whole point is to bring a touch of romance and ballet grace to your look.

Let's not forget our trusty accessory! When in Caen, you'll find no shortage of stunning fashion and accessory stores. Think a gorgeous head-turning hat, or even a chic scarf with a floral design. That delicate flower touch really brings the look together! Just think – a beautiful French woman dancing through the fields!

But remember, tutu time isn't about a uniform look. We all have our own individual style.

In Caen, you can experiment and have fun with it, and embrace your own personal ballet style.

From exploring historic landmarks to enjoying a delightful afternoon at one of the charming cafes in Caen – it's a real delight to bring a hint of tulle into your day. Remember, it’s not just about the look; it's about embrace a bit of grace and elegance. After all, we’re all about spreading a bit of dance-floor magic wherever we go.

So, there you have it, darlings. #tututuesday in Caen, Normandy! This little French city really does bring the tutu love. Don't forget to let me know if you ever have a tutu day! You can reach me through my blog and my social media. See you all next week for more tutu-tastic fun. Bisous, darlings!
