Last weekend my friends and I went out to San Francisco for tea at the Rotunda at Neiman Marcus
Tea at the Rotunda was as sophisticated and simplistically elegant as always.
For tea this day I decided to treat myself to a glass of bubbly and got the Grand tea. We were then treated to a small demitasse of chicken consume and a small cheese pastry to "cleanse the palate" followed by a popover before the main tea. Going on memory and with the help of some pictures, tea consisted of six tea sandwiches, a salmon, an egg salad, a chicken salad, a cucumber and butter cream spread, a prosciutto apple wrap, and proscuitto and cream cheese sandwich, a scone accompanied by cream, raspberry preserve, and lemon curd, three mini pastries, a lemon meringue, a crunchy chocolate peanut butter bar, a citrus and vanilla cupcake, all finished off with a white chocolate dipped strawberry. The tea spread was gorgeous though we all felt that the bread on the sandwiches sadly tasted stale. To go along with my tea on this day I chose a vanilla decaf tea. The tea itself was very flavorful and the vanilla very strong.
Once again, it was a lovely time for tea at the Rotunda at Neiman Marcus and a lovely day out spent with friends.

Outfit of the Day:
Seeing as it was the first official tea for summer and it was Neiman Marcus, I decided to wear one of my more brighter, yet mature and fashion forward dresses, my Trashy Diva Loop dress in Geisha Fans print. I paired this with peach flats by Gabriella Rocha which I got from Zappos several years ago, and a peach colored cardigan from Target, also from several years ago. For a finishing touch I decided to wear a pair of peach colored floral stud earrings from Forever 21 from a few years ago.

DeleteThat is such a gorgeous dress. The intricate, elegant neckline is an especially big standout of its design for me. Awesome choice to wear to an afternoon of fancy tea and delicious nibbles.

Thank you Jessica! It's so great when dresses have unique features. That's definitely one of the things I love about vintage dresses and sometimes vintage inspired dresses-- that they are a lot more detail oriented. :)
DeleteLove this dress with the pink cardigan! Gorgeous x
