Tutu Tuesday in Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec: A Tutu-tiful Adventure
Hey fellow tutu enthusiasts and fashionistas! This Tuesday, I had the absolute pleasure of spreading the love of tutus on the stunning islands of Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec. With the salty air, sandy beaches, and quaint cobblestone streets, it was the perfect backdrop for my #tututuesday shenanigans. I was practically born in a tutu, with the grace of a Canadian ballerina and the love for fashion to match! So let me walk you through the tutu-licious adventures that unfolded, from sunrise to sunset!
First stop: The infamous Red Beach (Étang du Portage) in Gros-Cap! The vibrant, rusty red colour of the sand is a breathtaking sight that I just had to share with my trusty tulle. Now, my dear readers, you know how I love a classic romantic tutu. I opted for a romantic pale pink layered tulle tutu, which, as a ballet dancer, is always a go-to choice for me because it captures the elegant spirit of ballet. It's the kind of tutu you see in dreamy ballet productions. But this day was all about making it fun! So I paired it with a denim jacket to make it less formal and some white leather ankle boots to elevate it to the trendy heights. It's the little touches that bring a bit of "je ne sais quoi", right?
- Tip: If you want to take the classic ballet tutu and make it your own, mix it up with textures and trends to create your own signature style. It's about pushing the boundaries and finding your perfect fit, pun intended!
After a stroll on Red Beach, it was time to hit the charming little town of Cap-aux-Meules. As the capital of the archipelago, this place is teeming with adorable shops and restaurants, not to mention the captivating landscapes of the Îles. I opted for a different approach with my outfit this time - the sleekest, chicest "modern tutu" style! Think streamlined and minimal, just like my favourite street style inspo! With my trusty classic black midi tutu (I mean, it is a classic for a reason), and I knew it was going to pair perfectly with my go-to, favourite fitted black top, adding the finishing touch with some dramatic statement earrings and trendy black boots.
- Pro Tip: A sleek modern tutu in black or white will always make an effortless style statement! They go with everything, can be styled up or down, and instantly add a touch of fun and fashion! They're great for any event from a brunch with your girlfriends to an elegant soirée.
From exploring the charming cafes to snapping photos with the iconic lighthouse of the Îles, my #tututuesday in the Magdalen Islands felt like stepping into a dreamy photo shoot, which you guys know is right up my alley. I've always been fascinated by the power of photography to capture moments and stories. The way it can transform a simple outfit into a work of art is something that really inspires me! I’ve already started brainstorming the next fashion shoot location that would complement a stunning tutu - think about a chic café or a quaint alleyway for my next #tututuesday venture! The potential is truly endless!
Speaking of the boundless spirit of fashion and style, I’m always on the hunt for the next trend to conquer. That’s why I’m particularly excited for this trend – think of the tutus from the world of ballet - the beautiful pastel shades! There are just SO many ways to use the trend in a casual look and to create chic outfits that have an element of the whimsical. Think of the delicate pink, light blue and lilac hues of tutus combined with more classic pieces – it adds a touch of the magical! Imagine how stunning a long pink tutu looks paired with a fitted black tee! It instantly adds an edgy-chic, graceful, ethereal vibe, which just proves that you can take the ballet look and wear it on any day of the week, not just at the ballet.
- Note: You can definitely wear a tutu to just about anywhere, but it's always good to understand the dress code of the venue.
Another aspect I really love about this trend – the playfulness of tutus. I like that they bring out my inner child! So, how did I bring this pastel look together on my #tututuesday? It was quite the adventure! First up: A tutu for every taste, right?! This time I picked a classic but soft pink tulle tutu - I mean you can never go wrong with the classic. I found a super cute white top with some lace details that perfectly complimented the pink - a touch of vintage-inspired style and I feel like that added the perfect touch. Lastly, I threw on my go-to pair of white sneakers, they're always my favorite shoes for any outfit! Not only do they provide a touch of casual cool, but I always find that they’re super comfortable! It's really a versatile look that’s appropriate for exploring a beach or a town!
- Fashion hack: Pastel colors and lace are so perfect for any fashion lover! Mix them with a tutu for an utterly cute look!
Let’s not forget that our #tututuesday adventures weren’t just about fashion. They were about embracing the joy of movement and experiencing life to the fullest. With every step I took in my tutus, I couldn't help but feel like I was dancing on air! Whether I'm in the heart of Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine, or taking on the city of Montreal for the next tutu-ific #tututuesday adventure, I'm all in. So here's to all the fashionistas and dreamers, may you all embrace the beauty of life and find your own unique style.
