For today’s blog I’m switching things up a bit! Instead of just showing an outfit, I’m sharing all the details of my birthday lunch! My friends know that I love to do “girlie” activities so they treated me to high tea at the Baccarat Hotel!
Before I sat down I walked around taking photos!
I even took a photo in the bathroom (lol)
I (finally) sat down and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon laughing, eating, and chatting with the girls!
Now onto the outfit!!
If you are going to high tea, make sure to contact the venue to ask whether there is a dress code (jeans might not be allowed). Even if you are permitted to wear jeans, why not dress up a bit? Opt for a fun a skirt and top or a dress!
I decided on this Self-Portrait dress because I love the silhouette and the lace detailing! To keep the look super feminine I chose a pink Valentino clutch as the final touch!
Now it’s your turn! What’s your favorite place to go have high tea? And what did you do over the long holiday weekend? Let me know in the comments below!
{Dress: Self-Portrait (size up) | Clutch: Valentino (similar; I also love this one) | Shoes: Jimmy Choo | Necklaces: Yael Steren and Lane + Lanae (c/o) | Sunglasses: Rayban | Rings: BaubleBar | Lipstick: Bite Beauty (shade Leche) | Nail Polish: OPI (color Onyx)}
