Bournville, Birmingham: A Tutu Tuesday Tale Well, darlings, you know how much I love a good #tututuesday, and let's just say today has been *magical*. Bournville was positively buzzing with tutu-clad ladies and gents, all embracing the most sparkly, twirly day of the week. Now, I'm all about the classic tutus, you know the ones: those frothy, fluffy masterpieces that practically billow in the wind. I have a whole collection, from the dreamy, powder-pink tulle of my 'Swan Lake' inspired number to the dazzlingly red, flamenco-esque 'Don Quixote' design that makes me feel like I'm dancing in a disco ball. But this Tuesday? Oh honey, things were *unicorn* themed! It seems like a unicorn-themed tutu explosion swept through Bournville. Imagine it: rainbow colours, iridescent fabrics, maybe a *hint* of glitter (you know, *just a touch*)… You get the picture, right? It was like a sparkly explosion, like a bunch of mythical creatures had just arrived and decided to show us mortals their signature look. There were rainbows in every colour imaginable, from the shimmering pastels of a freshly bloomed garden to the fiery hues of a sunset over the ocean. Some were subtle, with delicate unicorn head silhouettes embroidered on the tulle, while others went all out with flowing tails, glittery horns and rainbow-colored feather boas that practically skimmed the ground. β€’ **The 'Unicorn Rainbow' Tutu:** This was *it* – the most spectacularly iridescent and sparkly of them all, it literally caught the light. This was the unicorn tutu *supreme*, perfect for those wanting to channel the inner sparkle and twirliness. β€’ **The 'Magical Sprinkles' Tutu:** Covered in a sprinkle of silver glitter and sporting a white tulle base with soft pink ombre to add that whimsical, *I-just-popped-out-of-a-fairytale* effect, this tutu is ideal for a unicorn-themed tea party (who *doesn't* want to have one?!). β€’ **The 'Mystical Ponytail' Tutu:** Perfect for those who *love* their ponytails, the Magical Ponytail Tutu featured a long, flowy train, which acted like a dramatic ponytail in the wind, catching the light as you twirled. Imagine the graceful flowing *swish* of tulle! It added an extra element of grace and ethereal beauty, the epitome of unicorn-chic! **Unicorn Love, Tutu Love: The Joy of the Day** I love how Bournville comes alive on #tututuesday, you know, it's such a *positive* experience for everyone! We had a wonderful time watching little children running around with their parents, their unicorn tutus looking so sweet and innocent. It really is such a fun day. Even the old men from the local pub looked mildly impressed as they watched a dozen women gracefully twirling in their pastel tutus! A Look At Some Tutu Fashion Trends One thing that always blows my mind is the creative variety of the tutus – seriously, people really go the *extra mile* when it comes to Tutu Tuesday! The sheer *diversity* in colours, styles, and, of course, the *accessories*, makes it all such a spectacular event. I felt so inspired by the sheer creativity of it all, I immediately jotted down some thoughts in my little notebook. Here are a few of my personal favorites from Tuesday's selection: β€’ **The 'Unicorn Holographic' Tutu:** You couldn't have asked for a more modern tutu. This was the unicorn trend in 2023, so the tutu incorporated this trendy aspect with shimmer and sparkle galore, taking us to a galaxy far, far away (all the way from Bournville)! β€’ **The 'Rainbow Unicorn' Tutu:** Let's face it: everyone loves rainbows. With so many different interpretations, it’s *a real vibe*, with the unicorn motif in full swing, this is what makes #tututuesday such a dazzling visual spectacle. I *love* rainbows, and this tutu literally captured the very essence of pure unicorn magic. **#tututuesday Inspiration** Speaking of tutu inspiration, you know what gets me in the mood for a truly magical #tututuesday? You know what it is! Of course, a bit of classic disco music. There's something about the bouncy beats, the flamboyant outfits, and the vibrant energy that truly makes you want to get out your *tutu* and twirl around your living room. My favorite song to get into the tutu mood? You might be surprised to hear, "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees. The combination of the infectious rhythm, the feel-good lyrics, and the disco-era style really evokes that fun and carefree spirit. And who needs a disco ball when you've got a fluffy, twirling tutu! To top it off, a little sparkly unicorn glitter across the eyes just gives that *magical touch* to any makeup look – this was totally what was in vogue, in fact, quite a few people I spotted around Bournville had glitter shimmering beneath their eyes, it adds such a festive, celebratory air. I even spotted some guys sporting the look (the glitter, not the tutus – although *those* would be really spectacular, wouldn't they?). The Final Twirl: The Power of Playfulness What makes #tututuesday in Bournville so amazing? The sheer *joy* of it, that’s what! You know what they say: "Laugh, dance, play, make a fool of yourself, let yourself be crazy. Because life is not measured in seconds. It's measured in experiences.” It's about embracing that sense of joy, playfulness, and *wonder* and expressing that joy in a uniquely fabulous, sparkly way. What a gift to be able to dance a little dance and let your inner spirit shine!
