Tutu Tuesday in L’Isle-d’Abeau, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France! #tututuesday

G'day from sunny, chic L'Isle-d'Abeau! If you're reading this, you know I live for tutu Tuesday, and today is no exception! But first, coffee... gotta fuel this creative powerhouse. ☕️

So, L'Isle-d'Abeau! Honestly, this place is absolutely enchanting. As you might have guessed, my latest travels took me to the heart of France, specifically the charming city of L'Isle-d'Abeau in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Now, while this city is relatively small, it boasts a rich cultural history. I'm particularly drawn to the vibrant local ballet scene here! They have this lovely, almost timeless feel to their productions, kind of like watching ballet unfold under a crystal chandelier. Truly breathtaking.

Today, my tutu Tuesday ensemble is an ode to the French spirit – elegant and whimsical. Think delicate, layered tulle with a subtle hint of lilac, mirroring the blossoming flowers in the nearby park. And yes, a splash of pink to keep it fun. Of course, the look wouldn't be complete without a touch of vintage Parisian flair – I snagged these exquisite earrings at a local vintage store. So chic!

This afternoon, I plan to wander around the bustling market square. It's practically a gourmand's paradise. But, let’s be honest, who could resist the aromas of fresh croissants and delicious pastries? Plus, there’s always a hidden gem, a new vintage treasure to be found in these bustling little stalls.

You see, ballet, fashion, and travel – these are my true passions. Finding that perfect blend of old world charm and Parisian style in L'Isle-d'Abeau, it's the stuff dreams are made of! So here’s to more sartorial explorations in the beautiful L'Isle-d'Abeau, France!

Here’s a glimpse into today’s tutu Tuesday look and the spirit of this lovely city:

  • Tutu style: Dreamy, delicate layers of lilac tulle with a playful pink touch for a splash of personality. This is my interpretation of Parisian chic, merging grace with a touch of whimsy.
  • Local Ballet: This town embraces a traditional style, almost echoing a bygone era of dance, the type that would grace the grand stages of Paris' opulent opera houses. There’s a true beauty in their approach to the art.
  • A Parisian Vintage Flair: These exquisite earrings, handpicked at a local vintage store, embody the heart of Parisian style - delicate yet striking. The perfect touch to elevate my tutu ensemble.
