Tutu Tuesday in Wood Green

Okay, my lovelies, gather around, because Tutu Tuesday is hitting Wood Green, and trust me, it’s about to get seriously chic!

You know the drill. #tututuesday. It’s the day of the week where we all, well, wear a tutu, right? The unspoken rule! I mean, what’s better than a bit of poofy, pink, fluffy tulle to brighten up your Tuesday? It's about letting your inner ballerina shine, even if your last ballet class was back in primary school. Or maybe, you’re a serious dancer - we got you covered!

We’re in the middle of Wood Green, north London - we’re talking an eclectic mix of high-street shops and local independent boutiques - and you’d think there wasn't a single shop with a tutu, but oh, darling, are you wrong. This area knows how to twirl.

Think about it - every wardrobe needs a little touch of tulle. Don't let anyone tell you it’s too much, or, oh dear, too much to handle. Go ahead, embrace that delicate layer of femininity and channel your inner Grace Kelly! Maybe even your inner Black Swan... (I'll explain later)

The whole point of Tutu Tuesday is that you do it your own way, just like I do. It’s about the creativity! For instance, today, I’m in a lovely lilac, layered tulle midi tutu from that amazing new independent shop on Wood Green High Street called ‘Fabrications’. They literally have everything! Fabric scraps to haute couture creations. And I got mine for under 50 quid, seriously, an absolute bargain! Let me show you...

Yes! A gorgeous, floaty little number! Just picture it: you in this little tutu. Walking down Wood Green High Street - where we are now - feeling so graceful and so chic and all the guys gazing! Seriously, guys love a little tutu moment. Let's just call it the Tutu Effect. But there's no pressure, babes, this is just for fun, so wear it the way you like!

Right now, I’m actually standing at this wonderful café, the “Whipped Cream Dreams,” and having the most delicious vanilla latte! It has that sweet vanilla syrup, the foam is so fluffy, and just imagine a spoonful of this gorgeous whipped cream melting on my tongue, and there we go – perfection! It feels so luxurious, a tiny touch of indulgence, and what could be better than having this, alongside my little lilac tutu?

This area is so rich, just in fashion and everything around, but here’s the deal – It’s about celebrating style, not just in outfits, but also in moments and experiences. Even an everyday café can transform with the right outfit and some serious attitude!

Alright, so now let’s talk about your Tutu choices! There's something for every taste! There are tutus to match every personality out there. The classics like white ballet tutus – those are so timeless – or if you're after something bolder – maybe go for that deep purple tutu! But if you’re more adventurous, then think outside the box:

  • Mini Tutus – perfect for adding a touch of playful fun to your everyday style, with high tops, sneakers, chunky boots, whatever!
  • Midi Tutus – as we’ve established, perfect for both everyday wear and dressy evenings. Wear them with anything – high heels, sandals, combat boots... I'm really digging those Doc Martens paired with a tutu right now, for the whole '90s grunge, chic thing. It’s fabulous!
  • Maxi Tutus – they have this magical vibe – perfect for when you want to channel that ethereal fairytale feel.
  • The "Black Swan" Tutu– let's be real, that deep dark tutu - you know the one, from "Black Swan", the one Natalie Portman wears – is the most intense. But if you want to bring a little dramatic edge to your look... well, it's the ultimate.
  • Rainbow Tutus – yes! Every colour imaginable! This is where things get fun - unleash your inner artist!

What’s awesome is you don't need to spend a fortune. There's always a good bargain on the high street! Remember those days – back in primary school – of making our own tutues out of fabrics? You can do it all again! Even better – go with those fabric shops! Maybe some ribbons or beads – go wild! You’ll make a statement that no one can forget.

But what are some tutu dos and don'ts, right? I got you:

  • Do: Play with texture! – Silk, satin, tulle - layer it up!
  • Do : Let your tutu reflect your personality - a touch of sparkle, a splash of colour – go all out. This is your moment, darling!
  • Don't: Be afraid of color. Embrace those rainbow tutus! Embrace your inner child.
  • Don’t: Let anyone stop you! Rock your tutu confidently and know that you look stunning!

Wood Green is overflowing with so much inspiration. Whether you’re a tutu-loving newbie or a tutu-obsessed veteran like myself – remember that every Tuesday is a day to be brave. Let’s make every Tuesday a #tututuesday – and keep our sense of fun alive!

Right, I'm going to go back to my café – more whipped cream dreams. Later, dolls. And don’t forget to share your #tututuesday moments on Insta!
