Tutu Tuesday in Launceston, Tasmania #tututuesday
G'day darlings! It's your girl, Lily, back with another fabulous #tututuesday post. This time, I'm taking you all the way down to the apple isle, beautiful Launceston, Tasmania! For those of you who haven't been, Launceston is like stepping back in time, with its gorgeous sandstone buildings and charming cobbled streets. And let me tell you, it's the perfect backdrop for a tutu-tastic Tuesday.
As you all know, Tutu Tuesday is all about celebrating the wonder and elegance of the tutu. And I must say, it's definitely taking off here in Australia! I've seen everything from classic romantic tutus with their flowing, romantic layers to those modern, edgy ones that show off incredible extensions. But for my trip to Launceston, I've been inspired by the city's unique history and scenery.
So, for today's tutu exploration, I've got my eye on something a bit different. I'm thinking a **classic, romantic tutu** in a beautiful blush pink to complement the delicate pastel hues of Launceston's blooming gardens. Maybe a touch of sparkly embellishment to reflect the sunshine and the shimmer of the Cataract Gorge.
Or, for a bolder statement, a **modern, geometric tutu** in a rich, deep teal would pop against the vibrant greenery of the city. A shorter, structured skirt, paired with sleek black leotard would be a nod to Launceston's architectural heritage - think those gorgeous sandstone buildings and the stunning Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery!
To complete my Launceston tutu look, I'll be pairing my chosen style with a simple yet chic top. A delicate camisole or a classic white t-shirt will keep things comfortable and allow my tutu to steal the show. And to complete my look, I'm adding a touch of Tasmanian magic with some gorgeous local jewelry, handmade by a Tasmanian artisan.
Now, you might be wondering, "Where do I find the perfect Launceston tutu?" Fear not, darling! Launceston has a thriving arts community and, as luck would have it, several awesome places to score the tutu of your dreams. Let's explore:
- The Dance Depot: This beloved dance shop is a one-stop-shop for all your ballet needs, from pointe shoes to dazzling tutus. They have a fantastic selection of classic and modern styles, and the friendly staff will help you find the perfect fit.
- The Theatre Royal Launceston: It's not just a gorgeous building (the oldest surviving theatre in Australia!) but hosts many ballet performances! A quick chat with the crew here could reveal some treasures or tips on tutu boutiques.
- The Launceston Makers Market: This vibrant market showcases local artists and artisans. You'll find unique hand-crafted garments, jewelry, and art. Keep an eye out for that perfect tutu to stand out. It's worth a shot - maybe someone makes their own tutus!
And speaking of ballet in Tasmania, it's a really thriving scene. From the prestigious Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra hosting ballets to BalletTas creating stunning work across the island, you can't escape this passionate, vibrant scene. It really is something special.
