Tutu Tuesday in Dunstable - #tututuesday

Right, darlings, you know the drill: It’s Tutu Tuesday, and this week, I’m taking you on a whirlwind tour of all things frilly, fabulous, and undeniably *Dunstable*.

Let’s just be honest, Tuesday can be a bit of a drag. The weekend feels like a distant memory, and Wednesday’s looming with all its workaday woes. But fear not, my fabulous followers, because Tutu Tuesday is here to inject a whole lotta sparkle into your week. And, let’s face it, a little bit of sparkle is exactly what we all need sometimes.

This week, however, I'm not just here to talk about tutus – I’m going *Dunstable*. This quaint little town may not be the obvious choice for a fashion-forward blog post, but trust me, there’s a certain magic in the air here, especially when it comes to expressing your inner *disco diva* - which, by the way, is precisely what Tutu Tuesday is all about!

For starters, Dunstable has a fantastic selection of vintage shops where you can unearth all kinds of fabulous tutu-inspired gems, whether you’re after a full-blown Romantic or Classical masterpiece, a sleek and streamlined contemporary design, or something with a bit of a vintage punk twist. Remember that vintage pointe shoe accessory, or those feather boas with just the right amount of prima ballerina shimmer? This is where you'll find them.

Then there are the independent boutiques. From French provincial chic to a bohemian boho vibe, Dunstable has something for every sartorial style. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare for a trip to this hidden gem. There's something special about getting into a cute, twirly tutu and heading to Dunstable. I'm talking about a trip to your favourite indie café and coffee shop, grabbing an artisan cupcake and a decadent cappuccino, maybe stopping by the local theatre or maybe, just maybe, you decide to channel your inner ballerina by doing rélevé on a local park bench while all the local pigeons gawk! Maybe a tutu is just what you need to tap into your *inner* ballerina.

Now, speaking of ballerinas, we can't talk Tutu Tuesday without discussing the legendary, one and only, the #Discodolphin.

This iconic dolphin is an embodiment of everything I love about the #tututuesday spirit. Bold, dazzling, a little bit quirky – and oh, so fun!

So here’s my #tututuesday challenge to you, lovely readers: What do YOU do on a Tuesday to celebrate your own inner ballerina, #discodolphin and, most importantly, your #tututuesday self? I want to hear about it in the comments below.
