Hello my dear, on this rainy and stormy Friday morning – at least that is what London looks like right now! I have however enjoyed the most beautiful winter so far, as the sun has been blessing us with her presence so much – I have just had to make sure to go outside as soon as she shows her pretty face. Since we are on our fabulous Afternoon Tea week, I also wanted to take you along on my walk to the Bentley Hotel on Saturday last week, as it was such a glorious, sunshiny day, and I got to walk through one of my favourite parts of London – South Kensington (all you Instagrammers out there know how much South Ken features in my photos there!)
Sunset over the Victorian buildings by Gloucester Road
I just love how the sunset was warming up the walls of these buildings, and despite the trees not having their summer dresses on, the so majestically stretch out above us, enjoying the last rays of sun.
These red-brick mansions are part of South Kensington’s distinct architecture, and I just love how they are soaking up the sun here
A beautiful and stubborn little winter bud
A girl needs to take any excuse to get dressed up – so this antique ring came on the afternoon tea adventure at the Bentley Hotel
And in case you were wondering what I wore to the afternoon tea, I went for this mother-of-pearl/beige coloured dress, black tights, a pair of black ankle boots and of course the antique ring with garnets and an agate, which dates over 100 years back in time. Of course you don’t have to dress up for your fabulous Afternoon Tea visit, but it sure makes it all the more fun!
Happy Weekend!
