Hanwell's Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Tulle and Twirling Okay, so who's ready for another fab week of fashion? *Raises hand dramatically* You know the drill, folks, it's **#tututuesday**, and Hanwell is the place to be. It’s the most magical day of the week, where I get to indulge my inner ballerina – tutus, sparkles, and graceful twirls galore. And let's face it, who doesn't need a little twirl in their life? This week, the theme was "The Tutu Evolution," which made it especially exciting for me. We started with the traditional Romantic tutu. It’s a staple, you know – four layers of tulle, a fitted bodice, and a whimsical floaty feel. I couldn't resist the opportunity to bring out my beautiful antique French tutu with hand-sewn embroidery and a pearl-studded bodice. The pale blue shade with accents of gold embroidery felt like something straight out of a fairytale – it’s the quintessential tutu in my opinion. And you can just imagine the elegant steps it was meant to enhance! But the evolution of the tutu didn’t stop there. From the romantic to the avant-garde, there were some seriously striking outfits. **A Kaleidoscope of Tutu Styles** * **The Tutus in Hanwell** As I scrolled through social media, the Tutu Tuesday magic unfolded, revealing an incredible diversity of tutus: * **Romantic and ethereal** - They are the epitome of grace and femininity, these ones often come with wispy tulle layers and dainty embellishments. Perfect for embodying the graceful, floating essence of ballet. * **Romantic and flirty** - I even saw some delightful and daring variations on the traditional. I spotted a young lady wearing a bright red, ruffled tutu with a fun crop top that showcased some fabulous, statement-making earrings. This one was more flirty than a classical dancer might usually go for, but that just added to the fun. The sheer red of the tutu perfectly matched her fiery spirit! * **The modern tutu** - I’m a fan. With their daring shapes and unexpected elements like netting, asymmetric lines, and even a mix of textures, these contemporary tutus bring an intriguing touch to the ballet stage and offer up a much more edgy approach. * **The everyday tutu** – My personal favourite (can you even tell??). The trend we see on Tutu Tuesday each week is for more and more ladies to adapt this amazing garment into everyday wear. I saw one girl strutting her stuff in a pastel pink tutu with a sleek, tailored black blazer. It was an effortless blend of classical elegance and modern street style! **#tututuesday – A Celebration of Creative Expression** Tutu Tuesday isn’t just about the tutus, it’s about bringing people together. In Hanwell, Tutu Tuesday provides a fantastic platform for individuality and creativity. From the bold and bright to the elegant and classic, people embraced the opportunity to express themselves through fashion. They all wore their tutus with pride and flair. **An Inside Scoop** There’s a real buzz about the #tututuesday event in Hanwell – a buzz of creativity and community spirit. You can find all sorts of shops embracing the vibe: from trendy coffee shops to quirky vintage boutiques, each with their own special way of marking the day. * **The Café With The Quirky Twirls** For example, my favorite coffee spot, "The Cup & The Caper" goes all out! Their staff sport pink feather boas with their barista aprons. It makes you feel like you're stepping into a delightful cabaret show. I highly recommend their delicious gingerbread latte, which has an extra touch of ginger and nutmeg – they tell me they designed the recipe for "the perfect ballet-inspired pick me up." * **Tutu Chic Boutiques** For those who really want to make a statement, Hanwell has a fabulous independent clothing shop called "The Vintage Thread," and they’ve got an exclusive "Tutu Tuesday" collection that changes every week, complete with bespoke embellishments. **Where To See The Next Tutu Show** If you haven’t got your fix of tutus, you can catch Hanwell’s Tutu Tuesday online with #tututuesday, or check out my own Instagram page - “DancingInTulle.” **The Beauty of Hanwell’s #tututuesday** Tutu Tuesday reminds me of why I love the dance world so much – the joy, the creativity, and the amazing sense of community. I feel like a little girl playing dress-up again – and I’m not ashamed to admit it! I mean, it’s not often we get the chance to twirl around in beautiful costumes, so when the opportunity presents itself, you seize the day!
