Tutu Tuesday in Anglet, Nouvelle-Aquitaine: A Parisian Adventure in Tulle
Hey everyone, it's your girl, Chloe, back with another fab fashion update from my European escapades! This week, I'm taking you on a little Parisian adventure – well, kinda Parisian. Think more French Basque vibes – with a special focus on the gorgeous coastal town of Anglet, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. And what better way to embrace the romance of this region than with a little tutu love on Tutu Tuesday?
Let's face it, tutu Tuesdays have become a bit of a global sensation, and for good reason. This playful trend allows us to express our inner ballerina, whether we're seasoned professionals or simply admirers of the grace and artistry of ballet.
Anglet itself is a pretty chill little town with beautiful beaches and that quintessential French laid-back vibe. But it also happens to have a flourishing local ballet scene. Yep, you heard right! So, naturally, I couldn't resist slipping into my fave tutu to celebrate both Tutu Tuesday and this fantastic French cultural treasure.
So, let's talk tulle! Now, for those of you who are tutu newbies, let me spill the tea. This versatile garment comes in an abundance of styles, from the classic Romantic tutus to the dramatic and modern styles that often grace the stages of contemporary ballet. I mean, I'm talking voluminous clouds of tulle that billow around you like a whimsical dream – seriously, it's like being in a ballet costume wonderland.
And the best part is that tutus can be styled to suit any occasion. Think picnics on the beach, romantic strolls along the harbour, or even just rocking your own sassy confidence while popping into a cafe. It's a way of bringing a little touch of ballet magic into everyday life – and that's what I'm all about.
I actually snagged my little tutu gem at a quirky boutique here in Anglet, the name escapes me now (sorry!). It was a steal and the perfect hue of baby pink to complement the beachside aesthetic. Honestly, the colour is just a little something special and really embodies the romantic essence of the French Riviera.
My look was rounded off with a pair of crisp white linen pants, a flowy silk top and a simple pair of flats, just for the chicness. You know I'm all about the minimalist chic – nothing screams elegance quite like a touch of Parisian influence.
But this wasn't just a solo tutu mission – I'd dragged my best mate Jess along for the ride. Jess, bless her soul, also hopped on board the Tutu Tuesday trend with her own elegant number. Her's was more of a classic black tutu, and trust me, she worked it – complete with a red lip and her killer strut. You know Jess, always rocking that Parisian vibe.
We strolled along the harbour, taking snaps for the gram, with the sunshine kissing our faces and the cool salty air swirling around our skirts. Let's just say, the Anglet locals got a real treat – two girls living their best lives on Tutu Tuesday.
