Tutu Tuesday in Bonny Hills, New South Wales: A Whirlwind of Tutu Glamour #tututuesday Hey gorgeous girlies! It's your girl, Elle, back with another fab fashion update! You know I love a good excuse to twirl, and this Tuesday in Bonny Hills, NSW, was no exception! Yep, it was #TutuTuesday and I decided to unleash my inner ballerina, embracing the glorious freedom and elegance of the tutu. It's a wardrobe staple in every dancer's heart (and mine!) Let's just say that tutus have come a long way, from the traditional Romantic tutus with their billowing layers, to the sleek contemporary tutus with sharp lines and minimalist designs. I think there’s a tutu out there for every kind of mood! Let's get into the juicy details of the tutu scene down here on the sunny coast. * **Beachside Chic** - The ocean breeze kissed the skin, and the scent of salt air mingled with the joy of a #TutuTuesday! Bonny Hills is known for its incredible beaches and stunning water vistas, and I felt like the perfect picture of coastal beauty as I twirled on the sand, my tulle billowing in the breeze. * **A Colour Palette of Fun** - From the classic white of the tutus I'd wear at the barre to the more colourful options that the world of fashion has opened up to, #Tututuesday allowed for a riot of colour and playful expressions. * **Sharing the Joy** - Of course, #Tututuesday isn’t just about rocking the tutu (though that is a HUGE part of it!). It’s about sharing the joy of dance and fashion with everyone. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a first-timer, it's a day to express your unique personality through your tutu choices. * **Classic vs. Contemporary** - For my #TutuTuesday outing, I couldn’t resist pulling out my classic Romantic tutu. The flow of layers in soft, beautiful tulle made me feel like a graceful ballerina, and the pale pastel shades echoed the soft hues of the sand. Some of my fellow tutu lovers were sporting more modern looks, and it was truly inspiring to see the range of creative styles out and about. * **Beyond the Barre** - It's pretty amazing to see how tutus are transcending the world of ballet. Sure, they're gorgeous on stage, but they're just as awesome off-stage too. A lot of people I encountered for #TutuTuesday were doing it their way. Some gals rocked their tutus at cafes, others were spotted doing their errands with that tutu flair. * **Fashion & Community** - If there's one thing that unites the world of fashion, it's the ability to connect people with shared passions. And that was definitely evident during #TutuTuesday in Bonny Hills. We saw strangers sharing smiles and exchanging compliments. The power of a common love for fashion and self-expression created this beautiful community vibe. Beyond the Twirl - Ballet in Australia It’s safe to say that the ballet scene in Australia is alive and thriving, and #TutuTuesday is a great reminder of how much dance has taken root in our culture. From the grandeur of the Australian Ballet's performances in major cities like Melbourne and Sydney to the blossoming talent we see in schools and communities across the country, there’s so much to celebrate. I am so proud to call myself an Australian dancer. We’re always breaking new ground, pushing boundaries, and reimagining what ballet can be. From Sydney's iconic Opera House to the little studios across rural towns, Australia has become a hub for ballet creativity. It’s so heartwarming to see how #TutuTuesday brought us all together, whether we are part of the formal ballet world or just casual enthusiasts. The best part? #TutuTuesday wasn’t just about a single day! It’s become a fun weekly tradition here, and that’s what makes it so special! Every Tuesday, we can all rock a tutu (even if it’s a virtual twirl from the comfort of our living rooms), and find joy in that playful embrace of fashion and expression. It's an ongoing reminder to embrace your inner ballerina and find your own unique style. Until next week, gorgeous! Elle xx
