Birmingham, my lovelies! It’s that time again – Tutu Tuesday, the day where we embrace our inner prima ballerina (or disco queen!) and unleash the glitter and twirls. Oh, the joys of a good Tutu Tuesday! Now, let me tell you about this week's adventure – an explosion of tulle, a sprinkle of sequins, and a dash of disco flair, all wrapped up in the magic of Tutu Tuesday. I felt like I’d stepped into a dazzling time machine!

Before we jump into the sparkle, let’s talk tulle. This week, my darling Tutu Tuesday ensemble featured a classic romantic tutu – a cloud of pale pink tulle, flowing like a graceful dream. But don’t let its dreamy charm fool you! This wasn’t your typical ballet tutu. It was designed with a touch of edgy modernity – imagine a bit of the “Rockette” style, for a modern feel, adding a sense of daring glamour to the ensemble. The tulle, so light and delicate, is my weakness! It has this wonderful texture and shape that just dances with every move. And oh my, imagine the glorious swooshing of it all!

Speaking of dance, this week's #tututuesday #discotutu was all about the groovy moves! It was time to let loose, to twirl with abandon and to groove to the rhythm of my disco-tastic heart. From the moment I slipped on this beauty, the spirit of disco took hold. The soft pink shimmered under the disco ball’s pulsating light, sending waves of iridescent light around the dance floor. I could feel it – the rhythm, the beat, the desire to express myself through movement, dancing and swirling under the pulsating energy of the disco ball.

And where else could you have such a grand celebration of #tututuesday than right here in our beautiful city! Oh Birmingham, my city, where else could one find such vibrant and enchanting diversity, such a creative hub brimming with style? From the bohemian chic to the contemporary cool, our streets pulse with unique, eclectic flair and a spirit that invites us all to dance!

It wasn’t all tutus and twirls, though! Our #tututuesday took a delicious detour to a vintage cake shop, indulging in sweet treats that perfectly complemented the afternoon’s theme. The shop was bursting with colours and flavours, just like a delicious and decadent birthday cake – the epitome of our fun, joyous theme, a perfect setting for Tutu Tuesday celebrations!

Now, who is ready to hear a secret? It’s been rumored, whispers throughout the city – of a disco snail. Yes, a disco snail, my darlings! Can you imagine it? This glittering marvel is said to appear only on the most spectacular of #tututuesday, gliding around the dance floor in a shimmery trail, scattering glittery goo everywhere! Perhaps we'll see the Disco Snail this #tututuesday – who knows! Just remember, if you spot it, let out a joyous "Hey, disco snail!". You might even get a sprinkle of sparkle from its magical trail!

And that brings our Tutu Tuesday journey to an end. As the sun begins to set, casting warm, orange hues over the cityscape, I’m filled with gratitude. Birmingham is the heart of all things wonderful. We find joy and beauty in the everyday.

As the glitter dust settles, here's to Birmingham – a city that celebrates individuality, artistry and the sheer joy of self-expression.

Until next Tuesday my darlings,

May your week be full of sequins, twirls, and happy smiles!

Love,

Your #tututuesday blogger
