Walthamstow: It's Tutu Tuesday, Darlings! Let's get one thing straight: I LOVE tutus. Seriously, obsessed is an understatement. I have them in every colour imaginable (and a few you probably can't even imagine), and I'm pretty sure my bank balance cries every time I get a new one. But you know what? They make me feel like a total unicorn queen! And that's precisely why I absolutely adore #Tututuesday. It's a day where all the other tutu-loving babes and I get to flaunt our fabulous frocks and spread the sparkle-tastic joy. **This week's tutu story is a right little gem, and guess where it's all happening? ** You guessed it, Walthamstow! I know, I know, it's not the usual ballet hotspot, is it? But hear me out... **Okay, picture this: ** I'm strolling through the local market, feeling like I've stepped straight out of a disco dream in my shimmering, hot pink, classic "butterfly" tutu - the kind that makes you want to twirl all day. I'm radiating a glow stronger than a disco ball (but in a good way!), and then BAM! Right in front of me, like a radiant unicorn straight out of a fantasy novel, is a stall selling *unicorn tutus*! Oh my *unicorn*. This was no ordinary "fairy tale" tutu. We're talking full-blown unicorn-tastic glory! Think: pastel colours, fluffy fabric that you can practically sink your fingers into, and (get this!), shimmering holographic rainbows splashed all over. They had every kind of unicorn you could possibly imagine! The sparkly, the iridescent, the fuzzyโ€ฆ It was magical. Of course, being a devoted Tutu Tuesday fanatic, I simply had to try one on! I ended up going for the pastel rainbow "fluffy" one. Let's just say I could barely keep a straight face โ€“ it was just TOO much fun. Now, you might think this would be the end of the tale. But no, the real magic happened after that. I put on the tutu and wandered around Walthamstow for the rest of the afternoon, feeling like a pure ray of sunshine! People were looking at me, they were smiling, they were taking pictures! And I honestly think they were looking at me because they could see the absolute joy I was radiating. It's truly a testament to the power of a tutu - it can make you feel like a superhero (or in my case, a shimmering unicorn!) **Let's talk about Walthamstow for a second, shall we? ** This vibrant little pocket of London, just across the border from our usual stomping ground, is proving itself to be a real gem for tutu-lovers like me! With its bustling market, independent shops, and community spirit, Walthamstow really has that special energy that lets you just be yourself, and I have a feeling, its going to become the next big "unicorn haven" for tutu enthusiasts! Here's my takeaway from this Tutu Tuesday adventure in Walthamstow: It doesn't matter where you are, you can create magic! I just found my magical wonderland on a regular old Tuesday afternoon, and all it took was a shimmering rainbow unicorn tutu and a lot of glitter. Now, I know what you're thinking, *but don't those unicorn tutus get in the way when you're dancing?*. Oh, trust me, it's a whole other story. To answer your question: Yes. They do. But trust me, when you have the confidence to dance in a big fluffy unicorn tutu, nothing can stop you. Even when you do end up doing the splits with a unicorn's tail right in your face, it's honestly just a tiny price to pay for the amazing feeling you get! Let's spread the tutu love! #Tututuesday #Unicorntutu #Walthamstow
