Tutu Tuesday in Stanthorpe, Queensland: A Tutu-tastic Adventure! #tututuesday Hey lovelies! It's your girl, Amelia here, ready to take you on a tutu-tastic adventure to the charming little town of Stanthorpe, Queensland. Now, I know what you're thinking: ballet and Stanthorpe? That's a seriously unlikely combo, right? Well, hold onto your pointe shoes, because it’s about to get amazing. As you all know, Tutu Tuesday is a special day for me. It's a chance to celebrate all things tutu - from classic romantic tutus with their layers of airy tulle to contemporary, modern, and even experimental tutu styles. I live for it! And honestly, when I started dreaming up this Tutu Tuesday adventure, Stanthorpe, with its picturesque vineyards, apple orchards, and charming main street just seemed like the perfect setting. You see, there’s more to a ballerina's life than just tutus, right? So, this trip was all about exploring new territory, getting out of my comfort zone, and reminding myself that life’s best adventures start with a little bit of bravery (and a whole lotta tutus). Tutu Tales in Stanthorpe We’re going to dive into some seriously stunning visuals today, so grab a cuppa (or perhaps a glass of Stanthorpe’s famous sparkling wine), and get ready to be swept away by the beauty of Stanthorpe… and by the absolute fabulosity that is #tututuesday, First stop was a walk through the heart of town, where I twirled my way past charming cafes and vintage boutiques. I even stumbled across a little bookstore called "The Dusty Pages" which housed an eclectic collection of classic novels. (Did I mention they had a small but surprisingly chic ballet section with some truly gorgeous, vintage-inspired tutus? You'd be surprised.) Stanthorpe's main street also boasted an abundance of cute cafes and delis. I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t drawn to the “Pavement Café”. I mean, who doesn't love a little cafe on a sunny day with a latte and a fresh pastry, right? The best part of this entire trip was, without a doubt, my little picnic in Queen's Park, Stanthorpe’s public park right in the heart of town. Imagine it, my friends. A picturesque picnic setting under a weeping willow tree in full bloom, overlooking a sparkling lake and a mountain range rising up in the distance. Oh, and I have to tell you about my absolutely divine little picnic basket. Filled with a medley of seasonal fruits (did someone say peaches?), and fresh sourdough bread from a local bakery – and let’s not forget the delightful assortment of miniature pastries I had the good fortune of picking up from “The Pastry Perfection” bakery, a gem hidden away in one of the town's smaller side streets. The tutu I wore that day? An absolute stunner. A delicate, pastel pink tutu with shimmering silver accents, so perfectly matching the bright springtime colours of my surroundings. Later, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, I drove to one of Stanthorpe's famed wineries. Let’s be honest, you can’t go to Stanthorpe without a visit to a vineyard. And with stunning views of rolling hills and a breathtaking sunset backdrop, it made the perfect place for an evening photoshoot. You see, the golden hour light always creates magic, and that evening’s sunset, along with the perfectly positioned golden leaves of the vines and the gentle twilight, all perfectly captured in a stunning shot of me twirling in a fiery red tutu. Tutu Trends from Stanthorpe Let's talk tutus, darling! I brought several stunning tutus with me on this little adventure, but I couldn't help but try out some of Stanthorpe’s more, well, less predictable styles as well. The key to creating a truly memorable #tututuesday look? Mix and match, my dears, mix and match! I wanted my outfit to reflect the eclectic, rustic-chic style that the town’s atmosphere naturally called to mind. And you know what? It turned out to be an absolute blast! One day, I popped on a sleek black tutu paired with a black crop top and a long, flowing black lace kimono. It was definitely an edgy, urban look that I couldn't help but love. The next day, I opted for a vibrant blue, tulle, poofy tutu that contrasted wonderfully against the lush green landscape. Then, when I needed a splash of color for my photoshoot, a fiery red tutu with hints of glittering gold trim definitely turned some heads! It’s not only the way I mixed and matched my tutus that added some exciting touches. Stanthorpe itself offers a whole bunch of stunning locations for a perfect photo shoot. Imagine pairing an elegant tutu with a vineyard, or even a rugged mountaintop - so much fun! #tututuesday Stanthorpe In the heart of Stanthorpe's picturesque vineyards, I discovered the true essence of Tutu Tuesday. It’s not just about the tutu itself. It’s about letting your spirit fly high, embracing life’s unexpected moments, and celebrating your own unique sense of style. Stanthorpe, you’ve charmed your way into my heart, and I can’t wait for another #tututuesday adventure.
