Tutu Tuesday in Lameque, New Brunswick: A Tutu-ful Day on the Bay #tututuesday Hey everyone! It’s your girl, Claire, back with another Tutu Tuesday adventure, and this week, I’m bringing you all the way to Lameque, New Brunswick! This beautiful seaside town in New Brunswick has stolen my heart, and I just had to share its charm with all of you. So, grab your favourite cup of Tim Hortons coffee, because we’re about to take a tutu-tastic tour of Lameque’s unique sights and sights. As a ballet dancer, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of movement and art, and Lameque has definitely given me that in spades! It’s a vibrant hub for artistic expression, showcasing traditional Acadian culture in every corner. The quaint shops and lively restaurants, all buzzing with a love for their heritage, perfectly encapsulate the true Canadian spirit. Now, let’s talk tutus! It wouldn't be a Tutu Tuesday without a fashion statement, would it? Here’s what I wore for this fun day out: * **A flowing, ethereal tulle tutu** - I chose a light and airy tutu with a touch of sparkle to match the ethereal beauty of the seaside. It flowed gracefully in the breeze, a whimsical statement against the picturesque scenery of Lameque. * **A classic white camisole** - Simple and elegant, it complimented the romantic feel of the tulle tutu without being overwhelming. * **A bright pink cardigan** - To combat the ever-changing weather conditions of our beautiful Atlantic coastline, I layered a soft, cozy cardigan in a bold and vibrant hue. Pink perfectly matched the lively spirit of Lameque, and added a touch of cheerfulness to my look. * **Chic ballet flats** - Keeping it casual yet sophisticated, I chose my go-to ballet flats for comfortable style. They allowed me to explore the charming cobblestone streets of Lameque in effortless grace. With my outfit perfectly chosen, I set off to discover all that Lameque had to offer. Here’s what my Tutu Tuesday itinerary looked like: * **A Visit to the Musée Acadien**: I first stopped by the Musée Acadien to immerse myself in the rich history and heritage of the Acadian people. The museum houses a collection of artifacts and exhibits that chronicle the struggles, resilience, and vibrant culture of the Acadians, a fascinating piece of Canada's heritage. The museum itself was beautiful, showcasing the charm of traditional Acadian architecture. The traditional details were quite stunning. * **Lunch at a local Bistro:** I savoured a delightful lunch at a quaint local bistro, indulging in the freshest seafood this part of Canada has to offer. Fresh, delicious food always makes for a happy Tutu Tuesday, right? * **Strolling Along the Waterfront:** It’s impossible to visit a seaside town without taking a walk along the waterfront, and Lameque didn’t disappoint. I strolled along the picturesque shores of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, breathing in the crisp sea air and taking in the breathtaking views. A perfect way to take in the scenery. * **Catching the Sunset:** As the golden hour approached, I sought out the perfect spot to witness the vibrant hues of the sunset over the bay. It was truly spectacular. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of fiery orange, soft pink, and deep purple. The colours were so intense they mirrored the swirling ribbons of a dancer's tulle. **Tutu Tuesday Takeaways:** My day in Lameque was full of charm, warmth, and a sense of community that's truly special.
