Tutu Tuesday in Heathcote, Victoria: A Tutu-ful Adventure!
#tututuesday Hey gorgeous peeps! It’s your fave ballerina and style guru, Lily here, back with another Tutu Tuesday! This week, I'm taking my tutu adventures to the charming town of Heathcote in Victoria, Australia. If you haven't been, you absolutely need to! It’s a hidden gem with a gorgeous historic charm and some seriously breathtaking landscapes. As you all know, I'm obsessed with finding the perfect tutu, and this week, I’m testing out a few new styles in this little Victorian beauty. From classic romantic tulle tutus, perfect for swirling under the stars, to sassy, shorter, and more modern styles, I'm all about exploring new silhouettes. And let’s be honest, what better backdrop for some fabulous tutu pics than this town’s historic buildings and vineyards? The Tutu Chronicles * **Tutu Look 1: Romantic Tulle Dreams** For my first look, I'm rocking a soft blush tulle tutu, just the thing for twirling amidst the rolling green hills of Heathcote. You know how I love a bit of romance! It’s the perfect balance between ethereal and dramatic, flowing gracefully with every move. To amp up the ballerina vibe, I’m pairing it with a chic, ivory cropped ballet bodice and delicate ballet shoes. To complete the look, a soft braid and a blush pink ribbon woven through the braid add a touch of whimsical grace. It’s all about achieving a gentle and ethereal aesthetic, channeling the graceful spirit of ballet. This is definitely a “dancing under the stars” kind of look, perfect for a summer’s night and those breathtaking sunset shots in the vineyards. #RomanticTutuVibes * **Tutu Look 2: Edgy and Modern** Next up, a complete shift! It's time for some edgy fun. I've swapped out the soft blush tulle for a fierce black tutu. It's shorter than my usual go-to style and packed with more attitude. The shorter cut showcases more leg and adds a playful energy to the outfit, breaking away from the traditional length and making a bold statement. The textured fabric gives it an extra oomph, while the black color just screams confidence and sass! For this look, I’m rocking a black crop top and adding a touch of rebellious chic with black combat boots. Who needs pointe shoes? Let's show these vineyards how we roll! You’ve gotta have some confidence when you rock a shorter tutu. Confidence, like my black tutu, speaks volumes! #ModernTutuPower * **Tutu Look 3: Tutu + Vintage** Heathcote is rich in history, so I knew I had to find a way to fuse vintage elements into my look! This time, it's a romantic, ivory tulle tutu, but with a twist. It’s got intricate lace detailing that makes it feel both classic and modern. To celebrate Heathcote's history, I'm pairing this ethereal tutu with a vintage-inspired cream cardigan. You can never go wrong with some vintage flair! I’m giving it that old Hollywood feel, embracing that elegant, feminine charm of the past, adding a touch of nostalgia to my tutu look. The look is complete with pearl earrings and a soft up-do that gives a classy vibe. This look is the perfect embodiment of a stylish, graceful woman embracing both timeless elegance and modern trends. #TutuTimeTravel Exploring Heathcote I can’t talk about Tutu Tuesday without mentioning Heathcote's stunning scenery. It's the perfect place to show off a tutu, whether you’re twirling in the vineyards or posing by the charming historic buildings. Just imagine, the vines of grapes, the quaint cafes and pubs – every corner screams picture-perfect, creating an incredible canvas for a tutu. **Here are a few of my favourite spots:** * **The Heathcote Art Trail**: I couldn't leave Heathcote without checking out their local artists’ scene. You’ll find plenty of galleries tucked away amongst historic buildings that showcase stunning art inspired by the local landscape. I have a feeling you can find your next Instagram post here! * **Heathcote’s Wines**: From crisp Sauvignon Blancs to deep, rich Shiraz, there are wineries galore to sample! I took a day to stroll through some of the wineries. With rolling green vineyards in every direction and those cute, quaint winery shops, it's almost like you’ve travelled back in time! I love capturing my tutus against the lush greenery, it's seriously a photographer's dream. * **Heathcote’s Historic Charm**: You really feel a strong connection to Australia's past in Heathcote. Whether it's the stunning old stone buildings or the quaint old town center, the history here really comes alive. I've already picked my spot for my next photoshoot - the picturesque stone walls of the old church. Imagine, a tutu and a little church, what's more Australian? It’s more than just a charming town – it’s like stepping back into another era. The buildings, the vibes, everything creates this sense of historical wonder! There are so many possibilities for your Tutu Tuesday pictures, especially if you love history like I do. **A Message to Ballet Fans in Australia** As an Aussie ballerina myself, I’m always on the lookout for ways to promote and inspire other dancers across Australia. To all the talented ballerinas and budding dancers out there, remember, ballet is about so much more than the performance. It’s about pushing boundaries, expressing yourself and having fun with fashion. You’re welcome to follow my journey through fashion and ballet – be sure to join in the fun every Tuesday and follow me for some Tutu Tuesday Inspiration. This is for all the ballerinas in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and everywhere else. I am with you, in our passion, our grace, and the stories we tell with every move we make.
