Tutu Tuesday in Bishop Auckland: A Pinktastic Paradise for Tutu Lovers!
Hello, darlings! It's your girl, Tilly, back with another fabulous fashion update, this time from the charming town of Bishop Auckland, where I've been indulging in a little Tutu Tuesday fun. #tututuesday
You know I live for a good Tutu Tuesday, but this one was especially spectacular! Picture this: a sun-drenched day, the cobbled streets of Bishop Auckland bustling with laughter, and the air thick with the promise of fun and frolic. I, of course, was decked out in my favourite pink, flowing tulle tutu. It was the kind of skirt that wouldn't just whirl but *swooshed* with every step. It felt like a pink cloud, a dream in fabric!
Now, before I tell you all about my delightful Tutu Tuesday adventures, let's talk style, shall we? Because Tutu Tuesday isn't just about wearing a tutu. It's about expressing your unique self, unleashing your inner ballerina, and rocking it with a smile! I, for one, believe in adding a touch of disco flair, you know? A hint of that 70s glamour! Think sparkling silver tops, glitter-covered ballet pumps, and perhaps even a dazzling headband. That's the *discotutu* aesthetic, darling, a sprinkle of disco magic woven into your tutu ensemble. #discotutu
Bishop Auckland embraced Tutu Tuesday with open arms, it was a total *disco snail* experience. You know that snail I'm always talking about, who wants to bring the fun back to the high street? Bishop Auckland’s Tutu Tuesday definitely did just that, making every moment extra special and just a touch outlandish in the best way.
Right, back to the adventures! Let's get this tutu tale spinning:
- Tea at The Victorian Tea Room: Imagine this: sitting on a plush Victorian chaise longue, dainty finger sandwiches, clotted cream on fluffy scones, and me swirling around in my pink tutu. This tea party was the epitome of a classy affair, perfect for a princess, a ballerina, and, well, me!
- The Biscuit Tin Boutique: This darling boutique had all the cutest trinkets and vintage goodies imaginable, plus, it was perfectly pink. You guys know I’m obsessed with all things pastel. This was the perfect stop for *discotutu* accessorizing, I scored myself a pair of delicate sparkly hair clips and a whimsical, iridescent fan – just what a disco queen needs!
- Strolling Down Market Street: The streets were abuzz! We all went along the Market Street, enjoying the sights and sounds of the bustling market. It was an impromptu dance party just waiting to happen, and people seemed happy to oblige! Think twirling, spinning, and spontaneous ballet poses—the streets of Bishop Auckland transformed into a magnificent dance floor!
- Bishop Auckland Castle: Yes, darling, a magnificent historic castle deserves to see a tutu or two. The stately grandeur was the perfect backdrop for my pink tulle explosion! I must say, they seemed impressed (or at least slightly baffled!) with my twirling.
- Afternoon Tea and Tutu Tales at The Globe: This iconic pub in Bishop Auckland was buzzing! People in all kinds of tutus - black, pink, blue - even a few disco-tutu creations! We talked about our favourite styles and spins - you know I'm obsessed with that 'chassé to the left, pirouette to the right, chassé back again' move!
But the day didn't end there, oh no. There was more disco, more twirling, and even more Tutu Tuesday excitement:
- The Art of Tutu Twirling at the Town Hall: Bishop Auckland’s Town Hall played host to a hilarious and graceful “Tutu Twirling Workshop" - people learnt some moves, tried some different styles, and let me tell you, there was some serious skill on display! It was all laughs, grace and glitz - everyone showed their best tutu turns!
- Sunset Street Party and Final Waltz: As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting long, golden shadows, we all met for a final dance in the town square. We formed a giant circle, a swirl of pink, black and sparkling tutus - and we danced, and twirled, and embraced every minute of it. This was the 'we are all connected' moment, all of us united in the sheer joy of twirling!
As the evening drew to a close, my heart was brimming with a joyful flutter, much like the folds of my tulle tutu. Bishop Auckland had proved once again that it was the most charming, quirky town in the north. Its Tutu Tuesday was a glorious reminder that there's magic in simple joy, a dash of whimsical fun, and a sprinkle of glitter, even on the high street. So, if you're looking for a little extra sparkle in your life, ditch the jeans, don your favourite tutu, and head on down to Bishop Auckland. I guarantee you'll be doing the disco-tutu twist before you know it!
Tilly signing out, XOXO
