Tutu Tuesday in Sainte-Madeleine, Quebec: A Celebration of Dance and Style #tututuesday

Hey fellow dance lovers and fashionistas! It’s your girl, Émilie, back with another post about my absolute favourite day of the week: **Tutu Tuesday!** This week, I decided to bring the magic of tutu Tuesday to the charming little town of Sainte-Madeleine, Quebec. It’s a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of the province, where the spirit of Canadian dance thrives! As you all know, tutus are so much more than just a dance costume. They're a symbol of elegance, grace, and artistry. And what better way to express that than with a full-fledged Tutu Tuesday extravaganza? Now, let’s talk about my choice of tutu for this week’s festivities. I’m rocking a **classic Romantic tutu**. You know the kind— billowing layers of tulle, a soft and airy silhouette, a bit of whimsy with its romantic charm! It’s the quintessential “ballet dancer” tutu and, let's be real, there’s no beating the classics. This little gem is a pale blush pink with a silver, sparkling trim around the waistband— pure elegance, you guys! I paired it with a black, form-fitting tank top and black ballet flats for a touch of effortless chic. And what would Tutu Tuesday be without some sparkly accessories? I love a good accessory—they add a touch of flair that really pulls an outfit together! So naturally, I topped off my look with a silver necklace, pearl earrings, and a classic bun. (Gotta make sure my hair stays in place when I’m doing pirouettes on the streets of Sainte-Madeleine! ;) ) Now, I know what you’re thinking—tutus aren’t just for ballerinas anymore. They are so versatile! For instance, you could pair a simple, short tutu with a crop top and jeans for a more casual look, or rock a glamorous long tutu with a sleek black dress for a night out. The possibilities are endless, and I encourage you to get creative with it! Of course, my Tutu Tuesday adventure in Sainte-Madeleine wouldn’t be complete without visiting some local hotspots. Here’s a little rundown of my faves: * **Le CafĂ© de la Place:** This little gem is perfect for sipping on a latte and watching the world go by. Their pastry selection is *amazing*, you guys! They're known for their buttery croissants, fluffy pains au chocolat, and classic viennoiseries, all made with fresh ingredients and local love. * **La Boutique Chic:** A charming little shop in the heart of Sainte-Madeleine that's stocked with unique, stylish pieces and a bunch of locally sourced products. You guys, they’ve got EVERYTHING! From beautiful art prints and jewellery, to stylish candles, cute little soaps, and quirky little notebooks. I picked up a set of beautiful silver-plated earrings—perfect for my Tutu Tuesday ensemble. * **The MusĂ©e de Sainte-Madeleine:** For all you history buffs out there, this little museum is a great way to get a glimpse of Sainte-Madeleine’s rich history. The staff was *so* friendly and I even had a little impromptu Q&A with a volunteer—it was really cool to learn all about the history of the region. I loved the stories about the old theatres and ballet companies in the area! You really feel a strong sense of the history of ballet in Canada when you visit places like this! Let’s be real—every time I sport a tutu, I just want to dance, dance, dance! And in Sainte-Madeleine, the dancing spirit was everywhere! While strolling down the streets of Sainte-Madeleine, I couldn’t help but break out into a few spins. The streets were abuzz with laughter, conversations, and the spirit of good-natured fun. It was seriously the *most* magical Tutu Tuesday! So there you have it, folks— my Tutu Tuesday in Sainte-Madeleine, Quebec.
