Alright, darlings! It’s your girl, Elle, back with another sizzling hot #tututuesday update, and this time, I’m bringing the magic of Spalding to the world! Yes, you heard right! Spalding, the heart of Lincolnshire, where the sunflowers are tall and the vibes are even taller. I’m here to tell you, my dears, this town is teeming with unicorn-powered fabulousness and a seriously infectious joie de vivre, particularly when it comes to celebrating #tututuesday.
As a devoted follower of the tutu-tiful tradition, I knew I couldn’t miss out on the sheer magic of Tutu Tuesday in Spalding. From the moment I arrived, the air crackled with excitement and the vibrant colour palette was so eye-popping, it almost knocked me off my sparkly high heels. Picture this, loves: pastel pink awnings adorning shops overflowing with beautiful bloomers (don't get it twisted, we're talking floral arrangements, not, uh, the other kind), while the sweet melody of a busker playing ABBA’s 'Dancing Queen' on a saxophone drifted through the streets. Yes, I practically felt the disco ball rolling right through my soul!
Now, let's talk about the stars of the show, the dazzling tutus themselves. Spalding’s tutu-loving population embraced the theme with genuine, joyous enthusiasm. There were classical tutus, perfectly poofed and graceful, worn with an air of elegance, reminding me of those vintage ballerinas I adore. Then there were the modern beauties - shorter, more playful, showcasing an explosion of shimmering colours, sequins, and feathers. I swear, I even saw a unicorn-themed tutu shimmering in a kaleidoscope of rainbow hues. Talk about a vision!
But it wasn’t just the tutus that were stealing the spotlight; the whole town was brimming with unicorn magic. Shop windows boasted magnificent rainbow displays, while even the humble traffic cones were adorned with dazzling unicorn horns, just adding a touch of mischievous sparkle to the streets. The entire place was transformed into a veritable enchanted forest, except instead of whispering trees and playful sprites, we had giggling children, excited shoppers, and everyone enjoying the contagious sense of fun.
My personal highlight, and trust me, loves, it's a tough choice considering the level of dazzling display on show, was the "Unicorn Tea Party" in the town square. Picture it: white picnic blankets sprawled across the grass, vintage china teacups overflowing with delicate cakes and finger sandwiches, and the most fabulous array of unicorn-inspired treats I've ever seen. There were pink macarons, rainbow cake pops, and even glitter-dusted cupcakes shaped like unicorns - so incredibly adorable they were almost impossible to eat! And let's not forget the delicious selection of teas, all aptly named after unicorns: the ‘Celestial Sparkle’, the ‘Mystical Meadow’, and my favourite, the ‘Rainbow Magic’ blend.
As the afternoon sunshine painted the sky in glorious hues of pink and orange, we gathered together to sing a spontaneous rendition of 'We Are the Champions', a song that perfectly encapsulated the day’s energy. Yes, darlings, #tututuesday in Spalding truly felt like a victory - a triumph of colour, sparkle, and sheer joyful abandon.
The day, of course, ended with an absolutely glorious sunset, with the fiery colours painting the sky above a town now positively beaming with the warmth of the day's celebrations. This wasn't just a celebration of fashion, or of unicorns, it was a celebration of life, community, and finding the magic in the ordinary.
If you're ever in Lincolnshire, my darlings, I highly recommend making a trip to Spalding. Trust me, this delightful town, particularly during #tututuesday, will enchant you with its charming charm and playful spirit. As for my fellow tutu enthusiasts, mark your calendars, get your twirls ready, and join me in Spalding next year for a #unicorntutu extravaganza that will make your soul sing!
And remember, loves, no matter where you are, remember the power of sparkle, the joy of playful expression, and the beauty of celebrating the unexpected! Keep those tutus twirling and never, ever stop believing in the magic of rainbows and unicorns. Until next time, darlings! Xx
