Tutu Tuesday in South Shields: A Glitterbomb of Unicorns and Tutus
Oh, hello, darlings! It's your favourite tutu-obsessed, disco-loving blogger back with a dazzling dose of #tututuesday from sunny South Shields! Let's be real, there's nothing more fabulous than a Tuesday adorned in tulle, especially when you're surrounded by fellow unicorn-loving fashionistas.
Today, I'm feeling extra inspired, not only by the prospect of a pink-tastic day, but also because, as you all know, my soul sister, Amelia, the 'Tutu Queen of the North East' herself, is also gracing South Shields with her presence. Amelia, queen of the voluminous, feather-adorned tutu (I'm still dreaming about that ostrich feather number she wore last month, pure perfection!), has promised to bless us with an exclusive workshop.
The anticipation is palpable, I can almost hear the joyful tinkling of unicorn bells. We're gathering at The 'Shields Cafe, a little slice of pink heaven tucked away in the heart of town, known for its bottomless prosecco and rainbow cake. The perfect location for our Tutu Tuesday gathering.
Now, let's talk tutus. This Tuesday, we're aiming for maximum 'unicorn-sparkle'. Picture this: shimmering iridescent tutus, swirling in shades of cotton candy pink and celestial silver. Imagine whimsical rainbow-bright sequins adorning tulle skirts, twirling to the beat of a 70's disco tune.
Speaking of sparkle, here are a few Tutu Tuesday must-haves:
- A statement tutu: You can't go wrong with a classic pink tutu, but let's get creative! Look for ones adorned with delicate sequins, glitter, and feathers. Amelia is sure to inspire with some fabulous, oversized styles too, those are always guaranteed to make a statement!
- Sparkly makeup: Shimmering eyeshadow, holographic lip gloss, glitter everything, it’s all welcome! Let's unleash our inner unicorns and shine bright!
- Disco-worthy accessories: Glittering headbands, shimmering bracelets, maybe even some unicorn horn hair clips, perfect for chanting, "It’s Tutu Tuesday!" to the sounds of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love."
- An open heart: Because every Tutu Tuesday is about spreading laughter, celebrating individuality and having fun with our fashion, even if we do trip over a bit of tulle along the way!
The atmosphere in The ‘Shields Cafe is buzzing with excitement as everyone arrives, glimmering like a kaleidoscope in a fairytale! I spot fellow Tutu enthusiast, Gemma, in a dazzling, multicoloured tutu with a iridescent unicorn horn on her head, looking as if she’s just stepped out of a sugar plum dream! Her boyfriend is by her side sporting a (surprisingly stylish) pair of unicorn-printed socks, his cheeks flushed a soft pink. This, my friends, is the joy of #tututuesday.
Amelia, resplendent in a dazzling rainbow tutu and a glitter-covered unicorn onesie, kicks things off with an enthusiastic, "Hello, darlings!" The energy in the room escalates, a wave of infectious joy that’s almost impossible not to join in with! She starts to talk, her passion for the beauty of a tutu as infectious as the disco music that’s filling the café.
A couple of hours flash by, filled with tutus twirling, laughter bursting forth like champagne bubbles and a contagious joy, the room a kaleidoscope of sparkle, music and sunshine. I’m left buzzing with excitement, and feeling utterly blessed to be a part of a community as colourful, inspiring and fabulous as this.
Remember, every Tuesday can be Tutu Tuesday. Embrace your inner sparkle, let your unicorn flag fly, and get out there and create your own kind of magic!
