Tea Party and UO Dressing Room Review

Ping (from All About Fashion Stuff) and I had a date last weekend at Crown and Crumpet for afternoon tea. We had an assortment of finger sandwiches, scones, and mini desserts paired with a tea of our choice. It was a 2-person tea party and we had a great time catching up! This is definitely an ideal place to have bridal showers or little girl princess parties. Check out Ping's post about our visit here.

Such an adorable tea strainer!

This didn't look like a lot of food but we were stuffed...

With the lovely Ping 

Does my top look familiar? That's because it's the same as the one from this post but in a different color. Thanks Ping for being my photographer for the day!

Xhilaration sleeveless tank in Mustard (buy) -- H&M skinny pants in cobalt (although they look kinda purple in person (similar) -- Lux ribbed cardigan from UO (similar) -- Payless block heel pumps --> LOVE these shoes (see on Jean from Extra Petite) (similar)

Accessories: Target geometric fringe necklace (similar) -- silver mesh ring from HK (similar) -- you can't really see them but I'm also wearing Claire's yellow flower stud earrings (similar) -- thrifted Ralph Lauren belt - sz S (similar) -- H&M gray crossbody purse (similar)
 

And of course after eating, we did what we do best...SHOP! Urban Outfitters, which is one of my favorite stores, was at the top of our list and I snapped a few dressing room photos after raiding the sale section. =P

 BDG sheer v-neck tee - sz XS (buy) -- Silence and Noise tiered skirt - sz S (buy)

BDG sheer v-neck tee - sz S (buy) --  Staring at Stars chantilly shorts - sz XS (buy)

BDG sheer v-neck printed tee - sz XS (buy) -- Kimchi Blue bow shorts - sz XS (buy)
 

I ended up buying the mustard and printed BDG tees (soooo soft!), the tiered skirt, this Silence and Noise geo cardigan, and this Pins and Needles lace-trimmed babydoll blouse in black. I really liked the chantilly shorts but they didn't fit as nicely as I thought they would. Overall, very thrilled with my purchases! 

Have you had an afternoon tea experience? Do you shop at Urban Outfitters and what would you have gotten? 

Recent Target Finds: Burnt Orange Lace and Fringe Necklace

Hope everyone had a fun and memorable New Years! I spent it in Tahoe with the bf and his family so my weekend was pretty relaxing. How did you ring in 2012? I finally have a bit of free time to write an entry about some gems I found at Target recently while raking through the clearance sections. As you guys already know, I love a good bargain!

Xhilaration sleeveless tank in Spice (buy in other colors) -- F21 skinny jeans (similar) -- Cotton On long cardigan (similar) -- Tory Burch Reva flats (buy)

Accessories: braided belt from HK (similar here and here) -- Target pewter fringe necklace (similar here and here) -- H&M 3D flower ring (similar)

I have been really drawn to burnt orange/rust colored items lately (like my scarf in this post) so this lace tank fit the bill. I thought the details were so delicate and it was on sale for $9 which definitely helped in the decision-making. The necklace was also dug up in the clearance section for $6!

Last but not least, I wanted to feature and give a shout out to my lovely younger sister, Junie, because she's been wonderful at playing photographer for me while on her Winter Break from school. She was also wearing lace in this outfit. haha Thank you!!

F21 dark green tank (buy) -- PacSun lace tee (buy) -- BDG boyfriend blazer from UO (similar) -- H&M scarf (similar) --BDG jeggings from UO (similar) -- Kimchi and Blue chunky heels from UO (similar)

I just went shopping at Old Navy earlier this evening so will be posting about that next. Stay tuned!
