Tutu Tuesday in North Tamborine, Queensland
G’day, lovelies! It’s your girl, Amelia here, back with another #tututuesday post!
As a ballerina living and breathing ballet in the beautiful, sunny state of Queensland, I’m all about embracing the joy of dance, the power of self-expression, and, of course, the elegance and drama of a stunning tutu.
This week, I decided to take my #tututuesday festivities to the charming hills of North Tamborine, a haven for artistic souls and breathtaking natural beauty. Just imagine: me, twirling under the Queensland sunshine, surrounded by lush greenery and the sweet sound of birdsong. It doesn't get much better than that, does it?
Now, let's talk tutus. For this adventure, I opted for a classic romantic tutu, with layers of tulle that floated around me like a cloud. This timeless silhouette always feels effortlessly graceful, perfect for embracing the whimsical charm of North Tamborine. But of course, there are so many different tutu styles that can make your #tututuesday special!
For a more dramatic vibe, consider a tutu like a "paquita tutu," with its fuller layers and elaborate decoration. Or maybe a "Russian tutu" - that's all about strength and dramatic elegance, with shorter layers of stiff tulle. You can even experiment with contemporary "short tutus" with sleek lines and modern textures. There's a tutu for every dancer and every aesthetic!
One of the best parts about #tututuesday is that it doesn't require you to be a professional ballerina! It's all about embracing the joy of dance, even if it's just twirling in your kitchen. It's a chance to express your creativity and celebrate the joy of movement.
Now, for my adventure in North Tamborine, here’s what we’re going to cover:

Why I love tutus for #tututuesday in North Tamborine:
You see, there's something so special about tutus - they truly embrace the spirit of the day! With the fresh air of North Tamborine, the stunning natural beauty around, and the vibrant artistic community – it just feels like the perfect place to let your tutu flow! And it's the little things, you know, like seeing your tutu reflected in the windows of "The Gallery Walk," that make it truly magical. Plus, there’s something wonderfully uplifting about dressing up in a pretty outfit and embracing your feminine side.
Styling tips for your tutu – making it work for everyday life
There's an art to making a tutu work for the real world, not just a dance studio. It's about combining the ethereal with the everyday – striking the perfect balance! And let's face it, there's something very "Aussie" about that idea – the land of the barbie, beach and brilliant, beautiful nature – is about bringing those seemingly opposing concepts together, seamlessly.
- A modern touch: Forget thinking tutu's need to be fussy! My style? Pair a tutu with a crop top or sweater and your fave denim jacket for an unexpected street-style twist. Add some statement sneakers and your look's good to go.
- Dress it down: You can even rock a tutu with a plain tee, some cool boots or a cute summer dress. It’s about keeping things stylish yet effortless - the magic of #tututuesday!
- Mix and match: If you want to channel a more retro vibe, go for a tutu with a patterned vintage top. I love the idea of mixing florals, stripes, and geometric prints!
The Gallery Walk - where art meets tutu in North Tamborine:
Speaking of blending the artistic with the everyday - I spent the morning at "The Gallery Walk" which is a truly iconic destination. Imagine this: charming studios lined with colourful artworks, and me twirling in my romantic tutu! You know how it is - we just had to get a few shots for the 'gram. I have to say, it truly makes #tututuesday an unforgettable adventure!
The best North Tamborine cafes:
So, it wouldn’t be a #tututuesday without a delicious treat. North Tamborine’s got a seriously cool cafe scene, with options that match any style - whether you're after organic, bohemian or just really, really good coffee. You've got to try "The Little Coffee Nook". The coffee was fantastic, and they had the most delicious scones. You just can't beat a hot, flaky scone and some classic cream! But really, I highly recommend trying out different cafes – because they all have their own unique charm. Just make sure to do a little tutu-twirling as you explore, of course. #tututuesday #sconetime
My Tutu Look – How I styled my romantic tutu
This is it, folks! My complete #tututuesday look:
- **Romantic tutu**: The main attraction, right? Mine was all soft layers of tulle, and it really captured that "Romantic ballerina" feel - perfect for this artistic vibe.
- **Blouse**: To give the look some street-style edge, I layered a black silk blouse under the tutu, so it peeked out and added a modern touch.
- **Vintage belt**: To really pull in the waistline of my tutu, and add a splash of vintage cool, I wore a thin vintage belt.
- **Statement jewellery**: You can't go wrong with a few bold rings, necklaces, or earrings - they add an extra touch of personality to your tutu look.
- **Platform sandals**: They gave my outfit that classic, polished ballerina vibe! But you could totally rock boots or some funky trainers.
And for my hair and makeup, I went for a natural glow and a loose, effortless wave. A few spritzes of rose-scented perfume, and it's a beautiful #tututuesday!
