Warning: this post is only for the extreme girlist. Traditional afternoon tea at a fancy place like The Fairmont in Georgetown is probably one of the most awesome things you can do to indulge your inner princess (oh you know you've got one in there too), there's even a doggie menu!
I was in search of something fabulous to do while my sister was in town and this was the perfect day activity. Everything and everywhere you looked was just draped in gorgeous. Even the mess was beautiful. The teacups were all unique and exquisite, I learned a whole lot about teas and local honey (they make theirs right on the roof), I finally know what a "crumpet" is (it's sort of an ingenious blend of pancake, English muffin, and magic), I tried caviar for the first time, and got to hang out with good people. Tiers of tiny gourmet sandwiches, pastel macaroons, and other delicacies are simply a good time, all the time. I was half expecting the dishes to get up and start dancing around to the "Be Our Guest" song from Beauty and the Beast. Everyone should try it at least once in their lives. You will love it, I promise.

Also - how perfect is my adorable Iconemesis iPhone case for the occasion? I didn't realize until my friend Katie mentioned it, but my little bunny dressed up as a teacup blended right into the decor!
Afternoon tea is one of my favorite things in the world. There's a little place back home that has the best tea. I love going!
ReplyDeleteI have recently become obsessed with tea!
