Royal Leamington Spa: Tutu Tuesday Sparkle and Shimmer 🦄🩰 Right, darling, it's #tututuesday again! I'm so ready to unleash the ballerina within – that's right, even my inner swan is feeling the *glitter*. Let's talk tulle, shall we? This week, it's all about taking our tutus from the stage to the streets and turning every Tuesday into a whirlwind of frothy pink, sparkly disco vibes! Because, let's face it, life's too short for boring clothes and, let's be honest, who doesn't want to feel like they're floating through life in a cloud of tulle? A tutu isn't just a garment, it's a statement - it's a declaration of “I'm here to dance through life, baby!" So where are the *real* tutu lovers at? If you're a tutu enthusiast, or even if you're just a little bit curious about dipping your toes (or should I say pointe shoes?) into the world of tulle, let me give you a rundown of where to be in Royal Leamington Spa on a Tuesday! Tutu Tuesdays are not just about wearing a tutu. They're about embracing the fun! We’re all about the fabulous in Leamington, aren't we? We've got: * **Tutu Tuesdays at The Royal Pump Rooms** 👑🫧 Think twirling and tea parties. There's a whole new way to experience our iconic Royal Pump Rooms. We're talking afternoon tea and live music – we’re not talking any ordinary tea and music, it's *tutu*-infused. Imagine graceful ballerinas serving up delicate sandwiches, scones piled high with clotted cream and, of course, unlimited refills of sparkling pink lemonade! All whilst DJs spin a mix of classic disco and modern pop anthems, with a bit of Broadway thrown in, of course. What’s not to love? * **The Tutu Takeover of The Leamington Spa Art Gallery** 🎨👑 Let’s be honest, art deserves a touch of sparkle! So why not take your tutu skills from the dance floor and inject a bit of glamour into the gallery? It's the ultimate combination of art and fashion. It’s not all just standing there looking pretty. There's a creative challenge at each gallery visit! Last month, they had people making miniature ballet-inspired “tutu” sculptures. Imagine tiny ballet tutus made out of recycled materials - adorable, right?! You can bet this Tuesday it'll be something equally as inventive. * **The Unicorn Cafe - The Magical Meeting Place for Tutu Tuesdays** 🦄💖 Of course, any *real* Tutu Tuesday requires a little bit of magic, and there's no place more magical than The Unicorn Cafe. Picture this: a cafe dedicated to all things sparkly and dreamy, where you can enjoy unicorn-shaped lattes and rainbow cake whilst indulging in the art of twirling in your tutu. It’s like Alice falling down the rabbit hole but with more sparkle! Oh, and if you're lucky, they sometimes do a “Tutu-themed” cocktail special! We’re talking shimmery pink drinks that are *literally* as pretty as a tutu. And the music? Oh darling, they pump the disco tunes from lunchtime right up to midnight! It's literally a party at this café on a Tuesday! But, here's the thing: It's not just about where you go. It's about embracing the feeling of tutu-ing in *whatever* you feel fabulous in. Sure, we all love the traditional white fluffy tutu but it’s all about making that personal statement. I'm talking every style, from *ultra* dramatic and voluminous with layers of sparkly tulle to those *perfectly* cute single-layered tutu skirts that look so graceful while you're strolling through town. It’s a *mood* as much as a look! We even had some women, last Tuesday, going full on "Tutus and Trainers" and rocking a casual sportswear vibe with a playful tutu thrown on. * **My tutu style inspiration** 👗🦄 I always try to get inspiration for a Tutu Tuesday in Leamington! I'll give you a little sneak peek at what my outfits have looked like this month, and what my style inspirations are. I’ll even tell you where I’ve snagged the outfits: * A white classic with the biggest possible bow! A true *ballerina* classic. For this look I go for a simple single layered white tutu skirt from [Shop Name 1] with a white ruffled bodice that I've got from [Shop Name 2] – which always feels *extra* special and paired with white Converse - perfect for a little day twirling around Leamington Spa. For a bit of extra flair, you could add a pair of sparkly ballet shoes like I do. * A sparkly pink dream! For an evening of Tutu Tuesday's fun, I absolutely *adore* wearing my *super* sparkly multicoloured tutu from [Shop Name 3]. This skirt is my go-to, because the pink glitter is everything, especially in the afternoon sunshine. My absolute must-have for an evening in the Pump Rooms or the Unicorn Café. And of course, this wouldn’t be *my* style without a matching sequined pink bolero - which just adds to the *tutu* magic of the whole outfit! I always love to accessorize! After all, nothing says Tutu Tuesday more than the right sparkle. My top picks for completing my *tutu*-licious look: * **Headbands!** A glitter headband just adds a touch of princess to *any* look. And believe me, it can transform even a regular outfit into a tutu-ready look. I've got a stack of pink glittery headbands with faux gem detailing and silver sparkly ones from [Shop Name 4] . My go-to - but there are SO many adorable headband styles in the shops, so be sure to pick up a new one when you're out shopping for the big Tuesday. * **A glittery clutch bag!** This bag is basically a *requirement* for a true tutu fan! Not only does it help to hold the essentials – make-up, your mobile, maybe some tissues, but it’s *perfect* for creating an extra glamorous finish. You can get sequined clutches or glittery little purse style bags just for special occasions. They're surprisingly easy to come by in Leamington now. And look, they come in so many colors! From baby pink to bright blue – they can even be silver or gold to match your *tutu*-astic attire. Just make sure you can fit your phone and some make-up in them - gotta top up that blush! So, what are you waiting for, ladies? Let’s bring some tutu magic to the streets. #tututuesday #unicorntutu!
