Disco Tutu Tuesday 250222

Bicester Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Frills and Feathers Bicester, you glorious haven of fabulous fashion, is fast becoming the hottest spot for all things frilly, feathered and fabulous! That’s right, tutu lovers, this Tuesday was *extra* special because we took a trip to the land of fluffy tulle and twirling delights – #tututuesday, Bicester style. It all started, of course, with a *sparkle* of an idea. You know me, a tutu is my everyday go-to, even for grocery runs! But a proper tutu day out in the town that knows how to glam? That’s just pure bliss! So I grabbed my favorite pink pouffe (yes, pouffe, it's comfy and perfectly fits the disco vibe!), donned my glittery *super-duper*-fluffy tutu (it’s one of those triple-layered beauties with shimmering pink sequins), and hopped on the train with my girlfriends – we were ready to turn heads in the name of tutu Tuesday. The streets were already a riot of colours before we even arrived. It’s amazing how the town transforms when there’s a #tututuesday in the air, with shop windows decked in tulle displays and the air humming with a catchy pop melody. (Don't worry, the music didn’t get old *at all*, it just added a vibrant energy to the already fabulous occasion.) First stop: the gorgeous new tea shop on the High Street, aptly called “Tea and Twirls.” They had a special tutu Tuesday menu featuring "The Swan Lake Scone," served with rose jam and a fluffy cream (divine!), and a "Whimsical Waffles" for those who prefer a slightly *more* adventurous sweet treat. Oh, and there was a "Sparkling Swan" (non-alcoholic, naturally, it's midday) and it was *pink* and had glitter… need I say more? But, as you might know, my heart truly belongs to the boutiques and fashion haunts of Bicester! Every shop we passed was full of Tutu Tuesday spirit – and deals! What We Loved: - A *show-stopping* multi-layered lavender tutu in a shop called "Pretty as a Petals." It had feather boas galore – talk about a show-stopper for a ballerina with a wild side! - **Sparkling ballet flats.** Every single boutique we went to seemed to have embraced the *shiny* ballerina shoe – my feet felt like Cinderella stepping into the ball (only better, because my feet *did* fit these sparkly wonders perfectly.) - The sheer fabric in the *sweetest* pink imaginable! (Did I mention I'm a sucker for anything pink?) Seriously, this store called "Whimsical World" was basically a sea of pastel pink… We each managed to snag a little something: some sparkly hair accessories, an armful of colorful ribbon to make some new tutu accents. And the shop assistant even gifted us a pink feather boa to celebrate #tututuesday. You *can* call me Lady in Pink. Of course, what's a #tututuesday without a spot of vintage *magic*? The town’s retro treasure trove "The Old Carousel" is *always* a fun find, and on this day, it was just... spectacular. We found some beauties – a little pink beret, a tiny but oh-so-elegant pink silk scarf that looks like it belonged to Audrey Hepburn (and felt every bit as luxurious!), and a vintage pin (and not just any pin – a sparkling silver one that resembled a ballet shoe). You can bet I will be sporting that vintage brooch with *pride* at my next dance class! We finished the day at the "Disco Snail," which has now adopted a delightful disco vibe with themed events every Saturday (but every day was meant for dancing in our fabulous tutus). The Disco Snail is always a must-visit for dancing, but we ended our day *with a bang*. We were swept away by the DJ spinning a playlist that brought the best of disco to life - every beat was meant for twirling, swaying, and shimmering with all the elegance and confidence of a ballerina who truly understands that tutus aren’t just for dancing. **We’ve been planning Tutu Tuesday in Bicester for weeks**, and it *truly* lived up to every fabulous dream we had! It was more than just an outfit – it was an experience, a joyful celebration of expression, a statement of "We love tutus!," "We're confident!," and "Life is meant to be danced with a bit of pink, fluff, and sparkle." Bicester, you *definitely* passed the tutu test. This was a *tutu-licious* Tuesday indeed. And we're *already* planning next week's grand escapade in this vibrant town – who's with me for the tutu journey?! #tututuesday #discosnail #discotutu
