Tutu Tuesday in Fontenay-le-Fleury, Île-de-France, France
#tututuesday Hey darlings, It's me, your gal from down under, ready to take on Paris - one tutu at a time! It's been a whirlwind adventure since I touched down in this glamorous city. The culture, the croissants, the endless fashion inspiration, I'm living my best Parisian life. But my biggest love affair, you guessed it, has to be with the local ballet scene! The sheer beauty and grace of French ballet are a total breath of fresh air. They've got a way with tutus here that just blows my mind - the craftsmanship, the elegance, it's art on a whole new level! Just the other day I stumbled upon this gorgeous ballet shop tucked away in a cobblestone lane. They had these dreamy tutus, from classic romantic styles in soft tulle to the most cutting-edge contemporary numbers in innovative fabrics - my inner ballerina was seriously going wild! And the real kicker, it was #tututuesday! Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is #tututuesday? Well, it's a fun little thing I've been doing back in Australia. Basically, every Tuesday, I dedicate my outfit to my ultimate love - tutus. It's all about celebrating this amazing piece of dancewear and bringing some whimsy and glamour into my week. And let's face it, who doesn't love a good tutu moment, am I right? But let's be real, even for someone who lives in a world of dancewear, a tutu shop like that is pure magic! The delicate fabric, the way the light catches the tulle, it's something special. Plus, the owner was so incredibly sweet, she told me all about the history of ballet in France and the different types of tutus that are popular here. It's just amazing how they've embraced tutus as a fashion statement - you see them everywhere, even in the most unexpected places! It's like wearing a piece of art, and let's be honest, that's something I'm totally down with. The whole experience made me think about how tutu trends are evolving worldwide, but especially here in France. It's like this amazing fusion of history and contemporary, a clash of the old and the new. I mean, come on, how can you not love the romanticism of a traditional white tutu but also appreciate the cutting edge contemporary styles, especially with all those creative designers pushing boundaries with colour, fabrics, and design? There's definitely an undeniable love for the "look" in France - they take fashion very seriously! And that love of fashion translates to the way they appreciate ballet and tutus, which makes sense, as ballet is art in motion, you know? They understand the way a good tutu can completely transform you, elevate a simple look to a whole new level. There's an energy about wearing a tutu - you feel like a ballerina even if you can't do a single plié! And I'm definitely rocking that Parisian chic vibe, and that brings me to the topic of French style... In the world of ballet and fashion, tutus hold their own and definitely give the Parisian chic vibes some competition! From my observation so far, there’s a whole lot of inspiration coming from these stunning tutu looks on the streets, like a playful and dramatic mix-and-match of haute couture, high-street staples and even vintage finds, all elevated by a touch of Parisian elegance. It's not surprising considering tutus have a way of working their magic - a subtle hint of elegance, a touch of whimsy, a little bit of daring, and lots of personality. So if you're ever in the neighbourhood of Fontenay-le-Fleury, don't forget to check out their little hidden tutu treasure, because honestly, a trip here is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture of French ballet, where you'll discover tutus that transcend mere dancewear and become something way more… fabulous.
