Fulham Tutu Tuesday: A Whirlwind of Tulle

Alright, darlings, let's talk Tutu Tuesday! It's been a while since I've had the chance to share my love of all things tutu with you lot. As you all know, Fulham is pretty much my second home, and it’s the ultimate location for a Tutu Tuesday extravaganza.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, Tutu Tuesday is an international (yes, you heard that right!) phenomenon, celebrating everything tutu! Every Tuesday, people around the globe get all dressed up in their tutus. There’s just something about the swishy layers of tulle and the overall fabulousness of a tutu. A little bit princess, a little bit rock and roll - a true mood lifter!

Now, I’m not just any ballet dancer, I’m a bit of a tutu connoisseur! Over the years, I've come across all types - from the classic romantic to the sassy contemporary - each with its own unique charm. Today, I'm here to share with you all my top tips for making the most of your very own Tutu Tuesday, Fulham style!

First off, the Tutu! Of course, we need a star of the show! Here's my breakdown:

  • The Classic: It's all about the soft tulle, the elegant lines, and the graceful movements - perfect for a sophisticated day.
  • The Boho: Flowy layers, a touch of lace and maybe some vintage charm - perfect for those who want to be a bit more unique and carefree.
  • The Rock 'n' Roll: Leather accents, edgy rips and tears, maybe some sequins thrown in for good measure! Channel your inner rockstar and let the attitude speak for itself!

To elevate your #tututuesday game, there are a few local gems I can recommend. It's not always about buying a new one, just letting your creativity run wild!

Fulham's hidden gems for #tututuesday

My all-time favourite haunt, of course, has to be **Fulham Broadway Market**. Every Tuesday, this bustling market transforms into a symphony of vintage finds, treasures, and opportunities for styling your perfect tutu. Trust me, darling, a little vintage tweak can make all the difference. Don’t forget to bargain!

Right next door, **The Vintage Emporium**, it’s the go-to destination for the truly unique tutu. From those intricate hand-stitched wonders from the golden age of ballet to the funky, playful modern designs.

If you’re more the crafty type, a trip to **The Bead Bazaar** in Parson’s Green will send you on an exciting voyage of creativity. Their bead collection and creative team will help you unleash your artistic side and turn your ordinary tutu into an eye-catching masterpiece!

Alright, we've sorted the tutu - what next? Well, darling, a Tutu Tuesday needs a show-stopping ensemble!

Fulham style #tututuesday looks:

I always love to put together a unique look for #tututuesday - it's about making a statement! But you don’t have to spend a fortune to look fabulous, just get creative!

Here’s what I’m going for today, my Fulham look! (Think, **ballet meets rock and roll**! Don't be afraid to go a bit wild and make it all about having fun, because honestly, why not?

Outfit: A vintage leather jacket – it's not about concealing the tutu, it’s all about embracing the clash and letting your inner fashion rebel shine. This adds that edgy rocker vibe! Plus, if it's a bit nippy (it's London, right?), it’s perfect to throw over your shoulders!

Footwear: My black biker boots. Now I'm not gonna lie, I've tried pairing my tutus with ballet flats, even heeled sandals. But my biker boots have won me over! The tough and sleek look totally balances the tulle for that sassy edge.

Accessories: My trusty chain bag from that vintage boutique in Parsons Green! A little bit of bling, a little bit rock n' roll, all around a timeless piece!

But you know, it’s all about expressing your own individuality! Go bold with your choice of colours, accessories, shoes, and everything in between. There are so many unique avenues for style, don’t be afraid to explore!
