Tea for Two


 

High Tea for two





                                  

There are few things that make you feel more regal than high tea.  Honestly I'm not much of a tea drinker myself, but I do enjoy the occasional trip to the Neverland Tea Salon.  This quaint little tea shop in Kitsilano has the perfect amount of shabby chic decor without looking the tiniest bit tacky.  Their tea list has something to satisfy everyone's tastes, even picky tea drinkers like me!  (Of course if tea really isn't your thing, they have coffees and other beverages as well.)  I recommend the piña colada tea, a neat twist on the original drink.  Along with the fixed price high tea, they also have an à la carte menu with many options, perfect for lunch, brunch, or even a light dinner.  A trip to the Neverland Tea Salon is the perfect way to spend your afternoon. 

Until next time,
Gabriella

COVETED COLLECTIONS: Ancient Greek Sandals


Founded in 2010 by grecian-raised Christina Martini and Nikolas Minoglou, Ancient Greek Sandals are handmade in Greece by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques that have existed for centuries. (Hence the name Ancient Greek Sandals.)  You can purchase their sandals directly from their website, as well as Saks, Nemain Marcus, net-a-porter, etc., etc.  I haven't gotten my hands on a pair yet, but my favourite styles are the Clio (Check out the super stylish greek eye print!) the Athena, the Drama Platform, and the Ikaria. (Pictured above in the color "all white.")  The neatest part?  When you order directly from the AGS website, you have the option to monogram your sandals! So excited to get a pair to wear this summer!  Comment and let me know which sandals out of the above I should get, and which are your favourites!

Until next time,
Gabriella
