Whitley Bay's Tutu Tuesday: Where Sparkle Meets the Sea

Hello darlings! It's your favourite fashionista and Tutu Tuesday enthusiast here, ready to report from the dazzling shores of Whitley Bay. Yes, you heard that right – Tutu Tuesday is hitting the North East with all the glitz and glamour you could ever dream of. Let me tell you, my fellow fashionistas, this week's #tututuesday has me doing the splits with excitement!

Picture this: the sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the smell of salty air mixes with the sweet scent of freshly-baked doughnuts. A perfect day, you say? Oh darling, it gets even better. Today, Whitley Bay transformed into a shimmering kaleidoscope of colour and tutus as ladies of all shapes and sizes flocked to the promenade, their tulle dreams draped around them, ready to embrace the spirit of #tututuesday!

Now, let's talk tulle. We had everything from the classic romantic poufs to the contemporary, shorter styles that showed off some seriously toned legs (take note, boys, they were flawless). Some ladies even opted for the "unicorn tutu" – think rainbow layers and sparkly unicorn details that practically begged to be touched. Seriously, my inner child was squealing with delight! One tutu I spotted even had an adorable, shimmering mini-tutu for the dog – it's a good thing they have #tututuesday down to a fine art in this part of the world, wouldn't you agree?

But it wasn't just the tutus that stole the show. Let's not forget the rest of the dazzling outfits! From bright pink crop tops and flowy floral maxi skirts to dazzling sequins and head-turning bold prints, Whitley Bay was an explosion of style and personality. Let me tell you, my own ensemble (a vintage blush pink tutu paired with a white ruffled top and shimmering silver sandals) turned heads. Even the local pigeons seemed mesmerised!

But what would Tutu Tuesday be without some good old fashioned fun? This crowd, ladies and gents, they knew how to party! We had face painters turning little ones into enchanting fairy-tale creatures, a DJ spinning disco anthems that got everyone grooving on the beach, and enough laughter to fill every seaside souvenir shop in the area. And, oh, the photo ops! Seriously, my Insta feed is going to be a sparkly wonderland after this!

What really stole the show, however, was the impromptu performance from the Whitley Bay Ballet Company. This bunch of young ballerinas had a crowd gathered in mere minutes, mesmerising everyone with their graceful leaps and dazzling twirls. It's safe to say that these future stars gave us all a run for our money with their graceful movements and infectious smiles. Honestly, it had everyone dreaming of a career under the stage lights, tutus and all!

So, darling, there you have it. Whitley Bay's Tutu Tuesday was a truly unforgettable event, brimming with joy, glitter, and good times. As I catch a glimpse of the golden sunset, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange, I can't help but smile, my heart brimming with the spirit of #tututuesday. Now, excuse me while I slip into something fabulous and continue celebrating. After all, it’s always Tutu Tuesday somewhere!

To the lovely ladies of Whitley Bay, you truly are an inspiration! Let's spread the Tutu Tuesday love, ladies! Keep sharing your stories, pictures and dance moves – you are amazing! #tututuesday #unicorntutu
