Tutu Tuesday in Batehaven, New South Wales
G'day, fellow twirlers! It's your favourite Tutu Tuesday blogger, Olivia, checking in from the beautiful coastal town of Batehaven, New South Wales. Now, I know what you're thinking: what on earth is a ballet dancer doing in a beach town? Well, let me tell you, Batehaven has been giving me some serious #TutuTuesday inspiration!
Firstly, can we talk about the incredible weather here? It's like summer all year round! Sun, sand, and sparkling ocean, perfect for strutting your stuff in a classic tutu. Imagine: a romantic, ruffled, and floaty tulle tutu dancing in the salty sea breeze, with the crashing waves as your backdrop. Pure magic, I tell ya!
Batehaven itself is a haven for art and culture, making it a true paradise for dance lovers. There are so many stunning locations for photoshoots: charming cafes, picturesque beaches, and even the quirky little art gallery nestled in the main street. It's hard to resist snapping a few pics with my trusty camera!
Speaking of art, my love for ballet definitely shines through in my Tutu Tuesday choices. This week, I'm channeling the classic "Giselle" with a vintage-inspired tutu, with layers of delicate, flowing tulle. The subtle lilac hue is perfectly complemented by the coastal scenery – a delicate touch of elegance amidst the vibrant blue sky and crashing waves. The soft pastel tulle perfectly reflects the serene beauty of the beach, creating a stunning contrast to the strong waves that crash against the shore.
Now, I'm no stranger to a classic, traditional tutu, but for Tutu Tuesday in Batehaven, I've been feeling a bit more adventurous. My latest discovery is this gorgeous contemporary tutu, a piece I found at the "Threads of Art" shop, a hidden gem in Batehaven. This creation is a contemporary marvel, a symphony of flowing silk and sheer tulle, inspired by the natural world and the captivating coastal scene of Batehaven. I absolutely adore the dynamic, fluid shapes and movement created by this design. It's both modern and elegant, capturing the essence of both ballet and coastal beauty. The colours of this design really capture the colours of Batehaven, with the shimmering tones of turquoise and aquamarine reflecting the beauty of the local beaches.
One of my absolute favourite spots in Batehaven is the "Waves Café," a charming cafe overlooking the ocean. The rustic wooden furniture, adorned with colourful cushions, makes the perfect setting for an afternoon of tea and contemplation. This charming setting is like stepping into a classic storybook, complete with the delicate melody of seagulls serenading your afternoon tea and a sense of timeless beauty.
And of course, no trip to Batehaven is complete without a dip in the refreshing ocean. Now, I'm not saying you have to wear your tutu for a swim, but it does add a touch of whimsical elegance to your beach day, right? Just imagine a tutu skirt billowing in the ocean breeze, paired with a stylish swimsuit – a definite Tutu Tuesday #OOTD moment, in my opinion! But remember, safety first – and please only wear your tutu near the water if it is a fabric that dries quickly!
So, if you're ever in the mood for a dose of #TutuTuesday magic, I highly recommend a visit to Batehaven. This idyllic coastal town offers a unique blend of beauty, tranquility, and artistic inspiration – the perfect place to explore your inner ballerina and express your love for dance.
Until next time, keep on twirling!
