It's Tutu Tuesday in Folkestone, and I'm already feeling the sparkle! Okay, let's be real, I always feel a bit sparkly - it's kind of my thing. But Tutu Tuesday in Folkestone takes sparkle to a whole new level. Forget the beige, the boring, the ordinary. Today's all about fluff, frills, and absolutely anything that shimmers under the summer sun. And what better way to celebrate this shimmering sensation than with a #unicorntutu?!
This Tuesday, my trusty dance bag was filled with enough tulle to outfit a whole troop of sugarplum fairies - because when it comes to tutus, more is ALWAYS more. And don't even get me started on the glitter! I'm talking enough shimmer to outshine the midday sun, folks. It's not even a contest!
First stop, Folkestone Harbour Arm. This place is seriously iconic, especially for a Tutu Tuesday enthusiast like me. Imagine - the beautiful view of the Channel, the salty air, the sound of gulls chirping (or is that a disco beat I hear in the distance?!), and you - twirling, prancing, a vision of tulle-infused joy! The harbour arm was a fantastic setting for showcasing the perfect summer tutu â I'm talking light, breezy, and perfectly pouffy! It was a delicate blend of pale pink and sunshine yellow, fluttering gracefully in the summer breeze. Letâs call it my âFairy on a Beachâ tutu, shall we? It was just screaming "I'm ready for an ice cream, sunshine, and a sea-front dance!"
And what would a #tututuesday be without a unicorn, you ask? Let's just say a tutu enthusiast has got to stay true to the cause. So naturally, I was armed with a fluffy unicorn horn, a little rainbow unicorn tail (gotta match those rainbows!), and, just for good measure, a sparkly unicorn ear headband. For those moments of fierce "unicorn sass," there's nothing quite like the sheer audacity of unicorn bling. The other promenaders were definitely impressed - a little giggle and wave as they passed by, an impressed âthatâs fabulous darlingâ from a lady in a matching tutu, and a cheeky thumbs up from a pair of sun-kissed lads - pure sunshine joy all around!
Next up, I sashayed over to the creative hub of the Old High Street. This vibrant street is a kaleidoscope of boutiques, art galleries, and quirky coffee shops. I even caught a glimpse of a musician practicing on a banjo - now thatâs a soundtrack for a true #tututuesday celebration. The Old High Street was just begging for a bit of glittery fun!
This time, I switched to a bold and bright tutu, bursting with vivid oranges and yellows â think âSummer Sunset in a Tutu,â folks! It was bold and brash, reflecting the energy of the artists and creators in this vibrant hub. Imagine, a ballerina in a bold, vibrant tutu prancing down a cobbled street - who says ballet has to be formal? Not this tutu enthusiast, I can assure you!
Now, as you all know, #tututuesday isnât complete without a delicious coffee and cake break. I am a proud patron of the charming âFolkestoneâs Toffee & Creamâ cafĂ© â you guys just HAVE to check this place out for the most divine hot chocolates and yummy cake! It's all about enjoying the sweetness of life, folks!
After my caffeinated boost, it was time to showcase some real tulle-powered drama! The Creative Quarter just had to see the magic of a fully fluffed up, majestic tutu. Weâre talking, princess-worthy drama, sparkling sequins and layers upon layers of tulle. Itâs more than a tutu, folks - itâs an experience! I found myself being followed by a little group of giggling kids who, after a whispered conversation, all took a courtesy bow in unison as I gracefully strolled past. That's how we roll in Folkestone - itâs a place where everyone can celebrate a little bit of magic!
Finally, my day concluded at the beautiful Folkestone Leas cliff top, with the sun setting on a day filled with sparkle, smiles, and a few twirls for the tourists. Honestly, it doesnât get much better than this! Tutu Tuesday in Folkestone was pure bliss - it's an opportunity to celebrate the little things, unleash your inner child, and revel in the sheer joy of being yourself! And in Folkestone, anything goes. There's something magical in the air, and everyone's in on the sparkle together.
So, are you ready to embrace the #tututuesday magic? Dust off your tutu, find your inner sparkle, and come to Folkestone - you wonât regret it. Oh, and be sure to look out for those rainbow unicorns⊠theyâre lurking somewhere in the cobbled alleys and sandy beaches. Happy twirling, everyone! #unicorntutu #tututuesday
