AFTERNOON TEA
16/12/2013
I headed to London this past weekend to celebrate mine and my sisters birthday. We started with afternoon tea at the Corinthea hotel. Such a pretty place. A stones throw from downing street and the embankment, where buildings stand handsomely above the tiny people and streets below. You can’t help be a little impressed by our heritage, and by those who came before us to of given so much.
Inside the hotel was just as impressive, twinkling lights and delicate decorations are everywhere. A magnificent chandelier commandeers the main room where we sat for tea. Lots of lovely cakes and sandwiches served with glasses of champagne. How can you not love the grandeur of it all. Think I ate far too much and took several hours to recover before heading out for birthday drinks and dancing.
Another treat of the day was getting full makeup done at the Charlotte Tilbury counter in selfridges. I love her make-up and really wanted to try out some of the pieces I had read about. I wasn’t disappointed. Loved every product they used. You can see my look on instagram here. I bought a couple of pieces but will have to stop self gifting and hope santa brings me a few more next week.
I went with full length coat high heels and jeans for my outing. Doubled up on warmth with a poncho underneath and a lace cami for the finer details.
I was wearing
