Tutu Tuesday in Bournville: Unicorn Sparkle and Summer Sunshine!

Hello my darlings! It's your girl, Lily Rose, back with another Tutu Tuesday post, and this week, oh my goodness, we're going FULL UNICORN! It's a glorious, sunny, summer Tuesday in Bournville, and the only thing that could possibly make this day more fabulous is a dazzling, shimmery unicorn-themed tutu, right?

Let me tell you, when I saw this tutu at my local haberdashery yesterday, I literally gasped. Imagine a rainbow of shimmering, sequined tulle, all swirled together with pink and white satin ribbon, with a little gold unicorn charm dangling at the waist. It's everything I ever dreamt of in a tutu! It practically screams 'disco-dancing unicorn' with every flutter and twirl.

Now, you all know I'm a bit of a tutu fanatic. A tutu, for me, is more than just a garment – it's a statement. It’s about expressing yourself, about feeling like a total queen. And this tutu, my loves, it's all of those things and more!

It's also worth a mention – let's talk about "tutu styles," shall we? The classic ballerina tutu is all about the iconic bell shape. The perfect tutus for performance, they're all about precision and grace. This one, though, is a little bit more... let's just say "free-spirited." Think romantic, ethereal, a bit more boho, you know? This baby's about playful and light and definitely going to turn some heads on the high street!

Oh, speaking of the high street, I decided to wear this unicorn wonder down to the Bournville market today. Let me tell you, it was a blast! I'm telling you, the locals have got great taste! I even saw a little girl, maybe about five years old, sporting a tiny unicorn tutu! The tiny tots in Bournville have got some serious fashion sense! I almost melted.

But the real highlight was the impromptu dance-off in front of the butcher's shop! Now, you might be thinking, "What's with a dance-off in front of the butcher’s shop? ” Let’s just say some ABBA tunes blared from the shop, and suddenly the butcher, a rather surprisingly energetic bloke in a stained apron, launched into a bit of “Dancing Queen” with some impressive, but definitely questionable, dancing. Let's just say he should probably stick to the meat, shall we?

Anyway, it was brilliant! It felt so liberating – the sunshine, the music, the twirling, and of course, my incredible unicorn tutu! The Butcher actually threw me a tenner, he even shouted something about "a pound a pirouette," and winked. What a character!

So, here's to all of you lovely, wonderful people! If you're looking to spice up your wardrobe, go ahead and find that magical, sparkle-filled unicorn tutu and let the fun begin! And don't forget, it's not just about the clothes. It's about feeling your best, shining your brightest, and spreading those glitter-fueled smiles. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t want to live a little bit in unicorn wonderland, right?

Oh, and a final thought. When it comes to unicorns, always go for the extra sparkle, darling! It's a cardinal rule! Don’t be afraid to get that little bit extra glittery, it’s what sets you apart! You are all beautiful, sparkly, and unique! Let your true sparkle shine, just like a unicorn in the sunshine.

See you all next Tutu Tuesday, loves! Don’t forget to show off your beautiful tutus. And be sure to use #tututuesday #unicorntutu so we can all see your glitter and glam.

Lots of love,

Lily Rose
