Tutu Tuesday in Coventry: A Disco Delight!

Hello, my fabulous fashionistas! It's your girl, Lily, back with another blog post all about tutus, sparkles, and everything fabulous. Today, we're taking a trip to the beautiful city of Coventry for a special Tutu Tuesday celebration. If you love twirling, sequins, and a bit of disco flair, then keep on reading because you're in for a treat!

For those of you who are new to this fantastic fashion phenomenon, Tutu Tuesday is a weekly celebration of all things tutus. Think of it as a dance-fueled fusion of ballerina elegance and everyday style. This week, we're cranking up the glam with a disco-tutu theme – so grab your sequined bodices, feathered boas, and platform heels because it's about to get groovy.

The Coventry community is a true haven for Tutu Tuesday. We're talking tutus for every taste! Think whimsical layered tutus with billowing tulle for the fairytale look, chic, short tutus perfect for a dance-themed brunch with the girls, or the ever-iconic classic pointe shoe tutu – guaranteed to get you in the mood for some serious pirouettes. But the most eye-catching addition to this week’s celebration? The fabulous disco-tutu! Imagine classic tulle infused with shimmer and shine – a glamorous expression of disco-infused ballerina chic!

Now, you know I love a bit of fashion history. Coventry has a unique place in the history of ballet. Its own professional ballet company was founded in 1946 and they have such a fun, innovative attitude towards dance. You might be thinking: "Lily, what about the dance style?" We’ve been taking some serious inspiration from the #discosnail , and you guys are going to love how this style complements the glitter and glam of a tutu!

Here's why Coventry is perfect for a Tutu Tuesday adventure:

  • Artistic Buzz: The city's vibrant art scene keeps the inspiration flowing. With the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum and the Belgrade Theatre both just a quick spin away, the possibilities are endless for fun, funky tutu styles.
  • Historical Flair: The Coventry Cathedral with its incredible modern architecture is a perfect backdrop for some serious photo ops in your tutu.
  • Delicious Eats: Let's face it, twirling and dancing can really work up an appetite. Coventry has some delicious food options. The cafes are perfect for some tutu-themed photo ops while you enjoy a coffee and a pastry!
  • Fashionable Finds: Whether you need a sparkly headband or a dramatic feathered boa for your #discotutu , the boutiques in Coventry’s shopping district offer endless fashion possibilities. And if you're looking to add some statement pieces to your Tutu Tuesday wardrobe, there's a charity shop for every style. I picked up a silver sparkly crop top the other week and you wouldn't believe the steal!

So, here’s what’s on my Coventry Tutu Tuesday to-do list, and don’t be shy to send in your suggestions and photos too!

  • Head to a disco brunch: Grab the girls, find the perfect disco-tutu, and head out for a brunch infused with some retro-style cocktails. Don’t forget to put a picture up with the hashtag #tututuesday.
  • Coventry Canal Basin walk: There are stunning views to photograph. Add a dramatic tulle and take some Insta-worthy photos. The reflections on the water are the perfect backdrop.
