There's something quite civilized about having a proper tea with cream and biscuits, served on silver and china. We've been planning this afternoon tea at the Park Hyatt to celebrate Sofi's birthday for nearly 2 months now and I must say it was absolutely worth the wait. So we put on fancy dresses (mine being a crazy pink and green dress actually from the 1960s) and pampered ourselves at one of Buenos Aires finest hotels.
The Park Hyatt is GORGEOUS and the service was top notch. The afternoon was absolutely beautiful so we sat outside on the balcony looking over the garden. We pretended we were "ladies who lunch." By the time the cream puffs and cucumber sandwiches came out though, we were squealing with delight and all sort of poshness was wash away with the yummy tea. It was a great way to catch up on everyone's gossip and really treat ourselves. I'm lucky to have found such a great group of girlfriends. We may only have known each other for a little over 2 months, but they feel like life long friends. I find myself contemplating my departure more and more these days and I'll be very sad to leave these friends.
Every good tea of course should be topped off with a bit of champagne in the garden. The hotel gave us complimentary champagne and a yummy chocolate birthday torte for Sofi. By the end, I was not feeling quite so elegant, busting at the seams of my dress from all the goodies. Cheers darling!

Sounds like quite the ladys' day out. What a gorgeous day too. Love the photos.
Not quite your mother's high tea, eh?
A great idea for a birthday!
