Oh, my darlings, letās get this party started! Itās Tutu Tuesday in Edmonton, and as the sun beams down on this glorious summer day, thereās only one way to celebrate: with a flurry of tulle and a sprinkle of unicorn magic, naturally. Now, I know you lovely lot might think, "A tutu on a Tuesday? Surely itās just for fancy dress?" But dear reader, you'd be wrong! Every Tuesday is an opportunity to unleash your inner ballerina and strut your stuff in a fabulous, twirlingly good time.
Firstly, letās address the elephant in the room (or, perhaps, the unicorn in the rainbow), the magical unicorn tutus. I mean, come on, who doesnāt love a good unicorn obsession? From pastel pinks to sparkling gold, a unicorn tutu just makes the world a little bit brighter! It's all about adding a touch of whimsy to your day, because let's face it, we could all do with a little extra sparkle, right? Plus, thereās nothing quite like twirling around in a flowing, fluffy tutu while pretending you're riding a sparkly unicorn. Itās the ultimate escapism, right there, in the heart of the park!
Speaking of tutus, I simply have to talk about my absolute favourites:
The Romantic Ballerina: Classic, elegant, and effortlessly chic - think long, flowing layers of soft tulle, cascading down in a cloud of grace. The ballerina tutu never fails to make you feel like a graceful swan gliding through a summer meadow, which, you know, is kind of my vibe.
The Glamorous Diva: Oh honey, let's not forget the fabulously bold. This tutu, dear reader, is a statement piece! Think shorter layers, sequins galore, and a splash of colour that's bound to turn heads. Imagine twirling into a rooftop bar in a shimmering blue diva tutu ā pure disco-ball magic!
The Whimsical Whirl: This little number is all about fun, playful layers of tulle in vibrant colours and cheeky details. Think little bows, sparkling ribbons, and maybe even some fun fringe. You'll be twirling and giggling all day long, I promise.
So, how do you celebrate Tutu Tuesday, you ask? Let's unleash those creative juices! Here are some suggestions that are sure to inspire your inner ballet star, unicorn lover and all-round, bubbly self!
Embrace the park life! Grab a picnic blanket, a bunch of your besties, and head to your favourite green space. Take a dip in the lake, get some Vitamin D, and maybe even do some en pointe leaps onto those soft blades of grass (watch out for pesky bumblebees!). Itās basically ballet meets summer picnic and it's as fabulous as it sounds.
Get your sparkle on! Nothing says āTutu Tuesdayā like a touch of glitter. Go for a shimmery eyeshadow, sparkly body glitter, and even some fabulous glittery nail polish for extra flair!
Channel your inner ballerina: Even if you've never taken a ballet class, you can still channel your inner ballerina. Strike a pose! Use the bench as a barre for a few Ć la seconde stretches or pretend you're about to execute a perfect fouettĆ© on the pavement. Iām not saying itāll be flawless but hey, you'll certainly get the attention of passersby. Just remember, practice your twirls!
Spread the Tutu Love! Get your friends and family to join in! It doesn't matter if they're ballet dancers, glitter fans, or just regular folk. Everyone can appreciate a bit of tutu-powered joy, am I right?
And don't forget to tag #tututuesday #unicorntutu in all your dazzling snaps! After all, spreading the joy of tutu and unicorn magic is what Tutu Tuesday is all about!
See you next Tuesday, darlings!
Until then, happy twirling!

Your resident ballerina and Tutu Tuesday enthusiast.
