Tutu Tuesday in Nanterre, ÃŽle-de-France, France #tututuesday
G'day, darlings! It's your girl, Amelia, here, fresh from a whirlwind trip to Paris, specifically the vibrant suburb of Nanterre. You know I can't resist a good tutu-themed adventure, and this week, my mission was to explore the world of tutus in this fabulous French city.
I have to admit, my inner ballerina was buzzing with excitement as I strolled through the cobblestone streets, feeling a little bit like I'd stepped straight into a scene from a ballet. It turns out that Nanterre has a thriving dance scene, and there's even a dedicated dance school called "L'École de Danse de Nanterre." Imagine! I could practically smell the rosin in the air, the atmosphere was that good!
Now, you all know my love for the classic tutus, you know, the ones that billow out like a princess's dream, perfect for pirouettes and grand jetés. But in Nanterre, I was blown away by the variety of tutus I found!
Here's what I discovered:
* **A little bit of everything:** From traditional white tutus, the ones I could practically twirl in, to colourful, contemporary designs, Nanterre had it all. * **The "petit tutu":** These little cuties, perfect for a more streamlined look, reminded me of the chicest Parisian ladies I saw while strolling down the Champs-Élysées. * **The "ballet blanc":** Ooh la la! Imagine a sea of shimmering, white tulle dancing in the moonlight. I was enchanted by the ethereal grace and the romantic spirit.
Finding the perfect tutu for my Nanterre adventure
My personal highlight was a stunning, hand-crafted tutu at a vintage shop nestled on a side street. I knew this one was special. It had an almost antique charm, with layers upon layers of delicate tulle in soft shades of pink. The little touches of pearl embroidery just sealed the deal for me, and let's be honest, who doesn't love a little bit of sparkle? It reminded me of the elegant ballerinas of the past, maybe even a graceful swan. It was absolutely perfect for strolling through Nanterre's enchanting streets and maybe indulging in a few graceful spins around the iconic La Défense arch.
#TutuTuesday and my Nanterre inspiration:
This adventure definitely fuelled my creative spirit. Now, here's a little peek into how I'm bringing some of this French flair to my tutu creations back home: * **Mixing it up:** Expect to see some interesting fabric combos like silk and tulle, which were absolutely everywhere in Nanterre! * **Playing with colour:** Don't be surprised if some bright colours make an appearance in my next collection. I got some serious inspiration from the vibrant hues of the local art scene, you know, with the street art and all that. * **Little touches:** Those pearl embroideries, they've definitely caught my eye. Expect some sparkling, intricate details to grace my creations!
Whether you're a fellow tutu aficionado or simply an admirer of all things chic and beautiful, you definitely need to experience a Tutu Tuesday in Nanterre. I promise, it will be a memorable trip.
So, until next time, stay fabulous, my dears, and don't forget to dance!
