Bastia, Corsica, France: Tutu Tuesday Adventures in the Land of Beauty #tututuesday G'day darlings! It's your gal, Amelia, back from the heart of Corsica with a tale of tutu-tastic fun and the captivating French ballet scene! The French, they sure know how to make an entrance, don't they? I landed in Bastia, the beautiful capital of this stunning island, with my heart set on embracing a Tutu Tuesday adventure. Now, I know you might think, "Tutu Tuesday in Corsica, Amelia? Seriously?" But trust me, this island's got more charm than you can shake a ballet slipper at! As I explored Bastia, I realised it was brimming with cultural richness and a vibrant, expressive energy. From the stunning harbour views to the historic buildings, the architecture is a work of art in itself, evoking images of graceful dancers and soaring ballets. It wasn't just my imagination - it turns out the island's got a strong ballet tradition, with the beautiful "Théâtre de Bastia" standing proud in the heart of the city. They boast a fantastic season, so if you ever find yourself here, be sure to catch a show! It’s like a time warp back to the elegance of a Parisian ballet. This Tuesday, I was channeling a sassy Parisian flair, and what better way than with a fabulous, flowy tulle skirt – a true French girl classic! The air was thick with that romantic seaside breeze, so a vibrant turquoise tulle tutu, soft and airy, was the perfect fit. I'm talking a tulle so voluminous, so billowing, you could practically take flight with it, darling. Picture this: me, standing on the waterfront, wind whipping my hair, and the sun glinting off the ocean. It was like something out of a French romantic comedy. And what about the tutus? Oh darling, the tutus! It’s not all classical and grand, you know. You’ll find everything here: a perfect blend of vintage charm, and Parisian street chic. Here in Bastia, it’s all about embracing that little bit of playful elegance. Imagine classic pointe shoes, but with a French twist, think of those iconic ballet flat shoes, a Parisian's wardrobe staple, you just need the right skirt to go with them! You want a sassy look? Pick up a fun and flirty, fitted bodice in a striking colour - a touch of classic sophistication! Now, if you’re looking for something to wear, this might be a good starting point: * **A Fitted Bodice:** You could rock a velvet or a lace-trimmed fitted bodice. Think of those Parisian boutique windows – that chic black and white or maybe even some pastel colours with a hint of lace. It’ll give your look that sophisticated French feel. * **Statement Jewellery:** Big, bold jewellery like an impressive necklace, or some sparkly earrings can go a long way. This will elevate your tutu-inspired outfit from a simple dress to something that really screams "look at me!". You'll be attracting all the right glances in Bastia. * **A Versatile, Yet Stunning Skirt:** We’ve already covered the flowy tulle, but if that’s not your style you could look at other, equally stunning options! Try a fun, flirty miniskirt, with an airy feel. Pair this with those killer ballerina flats! Think French Riviera with a sprinkle of sunshine – perfect! Remember, you'll find everything from elegant and dramatic tutus in those vintage stores in Bastia, to chic and sassy tulle skirts in those hidden boutique stores! The possibilities for this “Tutu Tuesday” outfit are endless. Where to find some Tutu Tuesday inspiration: I spent hours wandering around the historical streets, soaking up the atmosphere and finding the perfect tutu. If you're heading to Corsica for your own Tutu Tuesday adventure, here are my top picks for finding inspiration: * **Théâtre de Bastia:** Catch a show! This beautiful theatre hosts a range of ballet performances – even if you’re not familiar with the Ballet tradition in France, trust me, this is one you don’t want to miss! * **Le Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Bastia:** This incredible museum has stunning exhibitions of contemporary art and photography, offering a different and exciting look at how art, fashion, and even dance, intersect. It's like an explosion of Parisian inspiration! * **Boutiques along the Place Saint-Nicolas:** This charming little square is lined with cute little boutiques, each one bursting with colourful displays, and they’ve got a wide range of styles!
