Hello, lovelies! Your favourite fashion-obsessed, tutu-wearing, unicorn-loving ballet dancer is back! It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time to… well, you already know, darling. It's Tutu Tuesday! And Kensington? It’s basically unicorn glitter land today.
Honestly, I think everyone in Kensington decided to join the Tutu Tuesday party. The streets are positively exploding with tutus. From the classic, tiered tutus with fluffy, ballerina-style layers to the sassy, fitted tutus in vibrant colours (hello, fuchsia and hot pink!), Kensington's style game is on fire.
I spotted a whole troop of teens sporting adorable tutus that would make a grown-up ballerina envious. You know those tutus with the ruffled, layered fabric, a real cloud of frills? The kind that could launch you into the sky like a dandelion seed? Yep, those! But, hold on a minute, what's this? They've got unicorn motifs on the tulle?! That's what I'm talking about! It's all about those little, sparkly touches. Let's just say those teens were seriously rocking the #unicorntutu look.
It’s like someone tipped a magic potion on Kensington; all the shops are decked out with tutu-tastic displays. Even the little cafe across from the library is selling rainbow-sprinkled unicorn lattes, which is, of course, absolutely perfect! It was practically a tutu tea party with extra glitter.
I had to pull out my trusty, vintage-inspired tutu, the one with the sequins, that perfectly evokes that classic ballerina glamour. It has an old-Hollywood vibe, but also feels modern with its playful pop of pink. My best friend, Sophia, was in her stunning neon tutu. Hers is the ultimate summer party piece – you know, bright and breezy? Plus, it has these cute unicorn embroidery details around the waistline, and those details made it totally sparkling.
Speaking of sparkle, can we talk about the shoes?! Let me tell you, Kensington was a disco ball in shoe form today! It wasn't just ballet shoes. Think sparkly platforms, sequinned sandals, anything that made a click with every step. We were walking on rainbows, literally.
But my absolute favourite part of the day was watching a little girl twirl around the square in her ballerina tutu. She had this unicorn horn headband and her cheeks were all rosy from a day of joyful spinning and laughing. Her absolute joy made my heart sing! Honestly, it just melted my heart into a pool of tutu-obsessed mush. This is exactly why we have Tutu Tuesday, because the joy is infectious!
As the day wore on, Kensington seemed to sparkle brighter and brighter. It’s that time when the light is just right and the shadows start to lengthen. You know what I’m talking about! The setting sun casts these golden rays and they bounce off all those sparkling tutus. Talk about the magic hour! It felt like the whole town was dancing, every move lit up by that beautiful summer glow.
We ended the day by having some cocktails at a little rooftop bar. We were both a bit sticky from all the spinning and glitter, but let's be honest, that's what makes Tutu Tuesday so unforgettable.
Oh, and for all the future Tutu Tuesday queens and kings, let me leave you with a little piece of wisdom. Keep it fun, be your own sparkle machine, and let those twirls bring out your inner unicorn. 💖
Because remember, dear friends, even if it’s just for a day, every Tuesday can be your own personal, totally fabulous, unicorn-infused Tutu Tuesday! #tututuesday #unicorntutu ✨
