Afternoon tea at The Ritz

I was extremely lucky to be treated to an amazing experience of afternoon tea at The Ritz by my boyfriend for my Christmas present. Due to the popularity of its famous tea and cakes the waiting list went on until early January so yesterday we spent our afternoon being treated like royalty and eating delicious sandwiches, pastries and scones.

With a strict smart dress code I wore this dress with a cardigan for added warmth and Reiss wore a shirt, tie and suit. I had hoped to wear heels but I knew walking around London beforehand it wouldn't have been a good idea! 

The Ritz say that they do permit photography but they ask for it to be discreet so I didn't get too many pictures but here are some that I managed to get:

Me at the entrance to the 'Palm Court' which is where the afternoon tea is held. 

Our table with our stand of sandwiches (which were constantly being replenished by the lovely waiters) and cakes. The scones are out of shot.

We had a lovely time and agreed it was such an amazing experience and one we certainly won't be forgetting for a while. It was our two year anniversary together at the weekend as well so there was plenty to celebrate! The service was absolutely incredible- you were made to feel special but not out of place and they were attentive without being interfering. This is the website incase you fancy having a look (or are curious to book it yourself!) here

Where have you had an amazing experience of afternoon tea?

"The most wonderful time of the year"

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and you aren't still feeling too full from all the turkey and chocolates we've all been consuming. It was lovely having a quick flick through instagram on Christmas Day and seeing how others were spending the day/ what you were receiving (you can follow me through this link).

It was such a lovely day- I spent mine with my parents, sister and my grandparents at their house. This was my outfit of the day (excuse the shabby quality- I snapped this just before we were about to leave for my grandparents house in a rush!):

Cardigan: Hollister

Blouse: Primark

Skirt: H+M

Tights: Next

Shoes: Primark

 I snapped some of my favourite presents this morning to show you:

*Jamie's 15 Minute Meals*

*Harrods biscuits*

*Hair curling wand by Remington*

*Chloe- Eau De Parfum*

*Jack Wills Jeans*

*Lots of books!*

*Next, New Look and Topshop vouchers*

Arguably the most exciting present of all though isn't in this picture because it would be a bit tricky to snap- my boyfriend is taking me for afternoon tea at THE RITZ... (squeaking with excitement) which is such a cool present :) we are going in a couple of weeks- so excited!

Do leave a link to any posts you have done of what you did for Christmas/ what you got- I'd love to see them.
