tea time

I'm backkkkk. I celebrated my 25th birthday with a high afternoon tea party at The Palace Hotel.  High tea is such a special experience and something I recommend everyone try. Thanks Ari for setting it up!

I specifically bought this dress from the H&M Garden Collection to wear for my tea and by bought I actually mean I went to H&M the day the collection came out, accidentally left with the wrong size, realized at the end of the day when all of the dresses were sold out, located the very last one that happened to be my size in LA, coerced my Dad who still lives there to pick it up and mail it to me...of course. I also wanted to wear something of my mom's and the pearls fit the bill.

  1. What a beautiful way to celebrate! My bridal shower was held at an old manor converted specifically for Tea Parties and it was so lovely, I'm always trying to think up more excuses for High Tea! So sweet of your dad too!

  5. Happy birthday to you, Heather. Wishing you all the best. Apparently we're of the same age, I'll be turning 25 by August this year ;) Looking forward to it.

    And your party seems so amusing. High tea for a birthday party certainly rocks. Why haven't I thought about it before :) All the cakes looks yummy as well! Not to mention the outfit. You rock!

    I'm going to post a "guide to las vegas" for touristy stuff and unique off-the-strip places to go this week so that should help!

  24. I thought that H&M dress was one of the best from the garden collection - the skirt just has the coolest texture. I hope your birthday was fantastic. Thanks to your dad you had the perfect outfit!
