Afternoon Tea
Today I joined a few friends to celebrate one of their birthdays by having afternoon tea at Portland’s Heathman. Enveloped in plush chairs and dark wood we chatted away while sipping tea and taking delectable bites from savory sandwiches and sweet cakes.
The occasion and warm weather allowed for me to wear a new addition to my closet, the most perfect 1940s frock detailed with little birds from Simply Vintage. I’m not sure I can rave enough about this dress. It’s the most lightweight rayon, features a peplum and keyhole cut out too! Not to mention it’s incredibly comfortable!

Oh goodness! I want to steal this entire outfit! So cute! 😀
I love how the bag echoes the peplum line, and also the curve of your shoes!
Gorgeous! I love the print on the dress – I didn’t notice it was birds at first but it’s so pretty, and the lace on the peplum is to die for!

Wtf, how did I miss this one?! We both know how I feel about this. ASkjwgnakndguwheg. That is all.
Looking like a 40s catalog model, how pretty!
You look a picture in that dress. The fabric seems to just float around you, rather than drape and swag- enchanting! xx Shauna
