High Tea with Cristina Re

Before I really launch into this, I feel like I need to tell you that I'm on a diet. 2012 is the 'Year of Jenny' and a part of that is loosing the post wedding weight that had crept up on me over the past 4 years. So my experience last Saturday was only heightened because of my current lack of sugar! Man, I miss sugar!

So, last Saturday was girls day out to Cristina Re's store, 'Where a Girl Goes'. I had been really wanting to visit ever since we featured Cristina and her partners apartment on The Design Files back in 2010- how gorgeous is their home?!

Girls day out was actually girls Christmas celebration that we do each year instead of gifts. So we frocked up, got ready to gossip and eat our way through a delightful high tea.

And boy did we eat!! And drink!! A never ending supply of Belgium hot chocolates, a huge variety of tea, spinach and ricotta pastries, finger sandwiches slathered in cream cheese and fresh fillings. Then came the scones, oh the scones!! Fresh, toasty warm and perfect. Buttercream cupcakes and some seriously tasty macarons (I indulged in double choc and passion choc- which was outstanding!) and glossy chocolates concluded the afternoon.

With much laughter, stationary purchasing and photos sprinkled on top- it really was a great girls day out.

We all loved these butterfly stickers on the ceiling- I love the idea of how magical they would be in a little girls room!
