Tutu Tuesday in Surbiton: A Unicorn-tastic Adventure
Alright, lovelies, grab your pinkest lipstick, your glitteriest eyeshadow, and your most fabulous tutu because it's **#Tututuesday** and today, I'm taking you on a sparkly journey to Surbiton, the most unexpected hotbed of tutu fashion you'll ever encounter.
Now, Surbiton might not be the first place you think of when it comes to glamorous tutus and unicorn magic, but trust me, this town holds some serious fashion secrets. And it all starts with a truly magnificent vintage shop called "The Twirling Boutique" – yes, that's a real place! – owned by a truly incredible woman named Doris who just so happens to have the most extraordinary collection of tutus this side of the River Thames. Let me paint you a picture. Step into Doris's shop, and it's like stepping into a ballerina's dreamland: soft tulle in shades of candyfloss pink and lemon yellow, satin ribbons gleaming like the moon on a summer's night, and every type of tutu you can possibly imagine – from classic Romantic tutus, graceful, with layers of flowing tulle, to the ultra-stylish tutu à la Francaise, those gorgeous, fitted-at-the-waist wonders that practically demand you stand a little bit taller and walk with a little bit more pep in your step. And if that's not enough to have your inner ballerina squealing with joy, the smell – that scent of mothballs and old fabric softener – well, it's a perfume fit for a queen.
Of course, what would a Tutu Tuesday in Surbiton be without a touch of unicorn magic, right? Doris just gets it. She knows that we don't just want a pretty tutu, we want a **#unicorntutu**, a statement of fierce, fabulous confidence that will make heads turn and unicorn dreams come true. And she delivers, big time. Forget those flimsy, cardboard unicorns glued onto flimsy tutus that fall apart the minute you spin – I'm talking about authentic, embellished tutus, crafted from the most luxurious materials. I found a tutu with a dazzling, glittering horn that almost made me want to try for the ballet equivalent of a triple axel! I’m pretty sure it even whispered "sparkle!" when I touched it. It's pure, unadulterated magic.
Doris told me about her "Unicorn Tuesdays" – think free fairy dust (because, let's face it, every tutu needs a touch of fairy dust!) and glitter face painting (you know I’m a sucker for a glitter bomb!). Even the coffee at the local cafe, "The Twirling Cup" comes with a little sparkly swirl of unicorn magic on top.
To capture the true spirit of the day, I went for a full unicorn look: I slipped on a pink sequined bodysuit (always keep a sequined bodysuit in your wardrobe!), donned my tutu adorned with silver stars, grabbed my sparkly unicorn headband (can you have too many unicorn headbands?), and added a swipe of neon pink lipstick for that extra splash of fabulousness. As Doris would say, "Don't be afraid to twirl, darling, let the magic flow."
I decided to add a touch of "disco diva" to my #tututuesday adventures by busting out some moves – even just a little hop and skip in my glitter-tastic outfit was enough to earn some double takes – ahem, maybe more than a few. People smiled. Some even stopped me to take photos. Surbiton, you've captured my heart, it's time to spread the sparkle and remind everyone that it’s never too late to tap into your inner unicorn. And, for all the cynics out there, get ready for the biggest Tutu-calypse the world has ever seen. You have been warned!
So, there you have it. Surbiton is officially on the tutu map. I highly recommend you check it out. You won't be disappointed. Happy Tutu Tuesday, my sparkly friends. Remember to shine!
