Tutu Tuesday in Weston-super-Mare: A Whirlwind of Feathers and Frills
It's Tuesday, and you know what that means! That's right, folks, it's #tututuesday! And where better to celebrate the fabulous world of tulle and tiers than right here in the charming seaside town of Weston-super-Mare? This week, the air was abuzz with the flutter of feathers and the twirl of tutus as we braved the bracing sea breeze to celebrate this delightful dance-inspired tradition.
We started our day at the iconic Grand Pier. It's an absolutely quintessential West Country spot, a true jewel of the town's charm. As the gentle sea air danced around us, the sky painted in hues of blue and pink, we gathered with a group of equally tutu-enthusiastic locals. It's truly wonderful how the #tututuesday spirit can bring together such a diverse and vibrant bunch, each one a unique snowflake twirling with joy in their own personal style. I must admit, I was particularly captivated by one young lady sporting a gorgeous lavender tutu with a shimmering gold overlay, an absolutely stunning spectacle that shimmered and danced in the sunlight. This lovely ensemble was paired perfectly with an ivory ballet cardigan and white Mary Janes. Pure ballerina elegance!
Our little troupe decided to turn the iconic pier into our own makeshift stage. We took to the wood-planked walkways, creating a delightful spectacle that had onlookers stopping in their tracks, captivated by the twirling ballet of tulle and the infectious smiles that illuminated our faces.
Next, we sashayed over to the delightful Weston-super-Mare Market, an enchanting blend of fresh produce, local crafts, and quirky vintage treasures. There we spotted a treasure in a vintage clothing shop, a beautiful white tutu with a delicate layer of sparkling white sequins, and let's not forget the perfect dusting of shimmering gold feather boa - truly glamorous, even on a breezy day!
We continued our tutu-tastic exploration of Weston-super-Mare stopping off for a well-deserved afternoon tea, complete with dainty finger sandwiches and decadent cakes, at the aptly-named 'Tutu's Tea Room', an adorable little spot that certainly lives up to its namesake! We continued our #tututuesday celebrations with a jaunt down the beach, laughing as we sprawled our tutus, the gentle waves lapping at our feet, creating an almost ethereal and fairytale scene.
