Arcueil, Île-de-France, France: Tutu Tuesday in the City of Lights
G'day, darlings! It's your girl, Chloe, coming to you live from the enchanting streets of Arcueil, Île-de-France. As you know, every Tuesday is #tututuesday in my world, and today, I'm sharing some serious #tututuesday vibes from the heart of France.
Now, you all know how much I adore ballet. It's my life, my passion, my everything. And being here in France, the land of renowned ballet, well, it's just pure magic! From the elegant lines of the Parisian ballet to the intimate, soulful performances in smaller theatres like the one I just saw in Arcueil, the artistry here is absolutely captivating.
Today, I decided to embrace the Parisian elegance with a classic tulle tutu in a dreamy shade of blush pink. I love the way it flows and swirls as I move, echoing the movement of the dancers on stage. I paired it with a chic white top, black ballet flats, and a touch of Parisian flair with a delicate silk scarf. It's the perfect ensemble for a day spent soaking up the cultural atmosphere.
The theatre in Arcueil is such a treasure, tucked away in a charming, quiet street, reminiscent of a scene from a French film. It's not your grand opera house, but there's a certain intimacy and charm here that makes every performance feel special. And, of course, it provides an opportunity to indulge in a classic #tututuesday ensemble.
While you might expect a traditional, full-length classical tutu, I actually decided to embrace a different style for today's #tututuesday. A shorter, layered tulle tutu with delicate embellishments. It was playful, whimsical, and absolutely perfect for my wandering day in the city.
From the beautiful old architecture to the cobbled streets, the whole atmosphere in Arcueil just makes you feel like you're stepping into a ballet itself. You can almost imagine the dancers gracefully leaping through the squares and streets, bringing the city to life. Of course, I had to join in, capturing a few shots with my camera for Instagram and you know, just channeling that inner dancer.
