Tutu and Ballet News

My darlings! Can you believe it's August already? The summer is flying by faster than a ballerina in a pique turn. Speaking of ballerinas, there’s been quite a stir in the world of dance. Get ready for a whirl of whimsy, my lovelies, because the tututastic trend has reached fever pitch, and we're absolutely *living* for it!

Yesterday, the 8th of August to be precise, the streets of London were transformed into a sartorial spectacle, with women embracing the most gloriously frilly of all fashion fads. Forget those demure pencil skirts, my dears! The **Tutu** is the new uniform of style.

Let me tell you, it was *glorious*. A bevy of beauties strutted around town, their tutus fluttering in the summer breeze, some daringly short, others cascading to the floor in an array of colours - pink, purple, pale blue – the sheer joy of it all made my heart soar.

As a ballet enthusiast who spends her days spinning tales of elegant movements and delicate leaps, I couldn’t have been happier. What's a ballet without a tutu, darling? It's like afternoon tea without scones!

Naturally, there's always someone who will rain on your **tutu** parade! There's that grumbling voice of cynicism. “Too flamboyant”, they’ll cry! “Too childish”, they’ll wail! And to them, I say - “Stuff and nonsense, dears”! If a few extra frills brings a little glee into the world, then more power to them, I say.

My beloved ballerina-in-training daughter, Phoebe, even joined the movement, whizzing through Hyde Park in a bright pink tutu, stopping traffic and stealing hearts along the way. The other children were utterly enchanted! She told me her little friend said to her “I want a tutu like yours!” Well, that’s the spirit, I thought! It doesn’t have to be just about ballet! Let’s spread the tutu joy, I say!

But hold on a moment, this is no mere fad. The **tutu** is an icon. A symbol of freedom, grace, and a whole heap of fun! It’s time for a little light-heartedness and abandonment, and there’s no better way to achieve that than to don a tutu and embrace your inner dancer.

So, if you’re feeling a little under the weather, a bit bogged down in the daily grind, or simply fancy adding a dash of whimsy to your day, there’s no need to be shy. Channel your inner prima ballerina. Go for it! Throw on a **tutu**, grab your favourite scarf, and dance your way into the sunshine!

Remember, darlings, you’ll never really know how fabulous you look in a tutu until you give it a go.

Some top tips on rocking a Tutu
  • Confidence is key! Walk tall and strut your stuff - just imagine you’re walking the runway at a ballet competition.
  • Have some fun with colour and fabric! Silk, chiffon, velvet… Dare to be bold! But never underestimate the classic tulle, my love!
  • Team your **tutu** with simple tops and chic jackets to elevate the look, and of course, flat shoes to complete this chic and effortless outfit.
  • Remember: There’s no such thing as a wrong way to wear a tutu!

I’m off to find the perfect tutu to complete my vintage Chanel jacket! I can already see myself whirling through the city streets - spreading tutu magic wherever I go. So let’s keep this **tutu** dream alive and share the fun, my darlings!

Now go forth and twirl!
