Tutu Tuesday in Lake Cathie, NSW: A Tutu Tale! #tututuesday Okay, so Lake Cathie isn’t exactly known for its Parisian chic. This gorgeous coastal town is all about sunshine, beaches, and maybe a touch of coastal chic (think linen pants and breezy dresses). But hey, every girl needs a bit of glam in their life, right? So, you can imagine my excitement when the Tutu Tuesday challenge hit my Instagram feed. I’m not going to lie, I felt a little nervous. After all, rocking a tutu on a sunny afternoon in Lake Cathie is a whole different vibe than twirling at the Sydney Opera House, wouldn’t you say? But I was determined to prove that tulle and glitter can thrive in any location. After all, tutu love knows no bounds! First things first, the tutu! You see, a Tutu Tuesday ensemble is not a one-size-fits-all situation. There’s a tutu for every personality. You’ve got your classic Romantic tutu, those billowing layers of tulle that look like you just walked out of a ballet rehearsal. Then there's the dramatic neoclassical tutu, with its shorter, tighter layers for a sleek and modern vibe. And let's not forget the fun and playful pixie tutus that make every dance party feel like a magical wonderland! Now, I could've easily gone for the classic ballerina look, all tulle and poise. But my Lake Cathie mood called for something a little different. I wanted a tutu that spoke to the beachy vibes and the free spirit of this incredible place. My choice: a bright, bold, tropical print tutu, all sunshine yellow, teal, and fuchsia hues. Think tropical birds, palm leaves, and the sheer joy of the Australian summer, all woven into a tutu. My stylist, (who, I'm pleased to say, is a tutu expert) suggested we keep the rest of my outfit relaxed. I mean, nobody wants to feel all stiff and formal when you're rocking a tutu on a beach, right? So, a flowy white linen top, a cute pair of flat sandals (because a true Tutu Queen knows comfort!), a wide-brimmed sun hat, and of course, a touch of sparkle (because who doesn't love a bit of shimmer, right?). The highlight of my Tutu Tuesday adventure? Definitely the reactions! People stopped me in the street, snapping pictures and laughing. "Where can I get one of those?!" I heard people ask. It was like I had injected a little bit of fairytale magic into Lake Cathie. Let's be honest, Tutu Tuesday was all about pushing boundaries and having fun. It’s about celebrating your inner ballerina, even when you're not standing on a stage. So, next time you see me on Instagram, you might be wondering: What will she rock for Tutu Tuesday next? It's a mystery! But, if it's as fabulous as this one, I can’t wait to see it! So, to all the tutu lovers out there: Where do you find your inner ballerina? Tell me your #tututuesday stories. Maybe one day, Lake Cathie will become Australia’s tutu capital! ## Tutu Tips for Your Own Lake Cathie Adventure * **Be bold:** Choose a tutu that reflects your personal style.
