Would You Like A Cup Of Tea? Photographer Amber Gray, captures the essence of English Style "Tea Time" of the past and fast forwards it to the present in the current issue of Marie Claire China. I must say this fashion editorial is very charming, fantasy-like and of course whimsical. Models Kristi and Anna wear the designs of Stella McCartney, Prada, Lanvin, and Fendi selected by stylist Guillaume Boulez. I love how they have used flora within the shoot. Besides the fashion, the hats and set up are exquisite. As you can tell, I'm a slight fan of tea! HaHaHa
Are YOU a fan of tea or tea parties? I've been a fan since watching Alice in Wonderland! HaHaHa I try to go when I can. There's a Windsor Court Hotel here in New Orleans that does themed teas. I went to their Trick or Tea last Halloween and below are pics from an Alice in Wonderland themed tea last year. It was fun! There were more adults then children. I dragged my mom to it. HaHaHa Have a Great Day You Guys!
The pictures are so amazing! hahaha wow looks like you had tons of fun at the tea party
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures, love this theme!! And I love tea parties :))))) Tea is my thing :)) They did a marvelous job on this shoot!! Love the pictures, looks like you had fun :) Have a great day doll :)
ReplyDeleteI don't drink tea but this is such a beautiful editorial! I love the concept of wearing a ladylike outfit and hat to tea. That tea you attended looks like so much fun!

I love the idea of tea parties! My friend took me to my first "afternoon tea" for my birthday this summer and it was so fun! It's such a deep rooted, sophisticated tradition that I adore.
ReplyDeleteThis editorial is so stunning to look at!

These images are so cool - like a high-end Alice in Wonderland shoot :) I love tea & tea parties. They are so cute and fun!
ReplyDeleteI am completely in love with tea parties, etc. We used to always go to a tea room with my grands growing up and sometimes with friends still do when i visit. This is a very enchanting editorial, my favourite is the cut out dress and gingham jacket. I LOVE those!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!

Too too gorgeous. How do you find these ethereal shoots?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love high tea! I only do it once a year or so on special occasions! And I just have to say I'm in love with the top the model is wearing in the first photo- I'm not normally into lace or crochet and I don't even know what the thing she has on is called, but it's so beautiful! I love the last one, too! It makes me want to be able to read Chinese! Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find all these gorgeous magazine spreads? I love these pics!
ReplyDeletea tea themed party Kim how amazing is that!! I wonder are they having one this year I would love to come!!
ReplyDeletep.s. you look gorgeous is yellow :)

I adore this editorial! It has such a fun fantasy quality and the styling and lighting is just amazing. I'm a total tea fan and love tea parties. It's been awhile since I've done afternoon tea though. It's so fun to get dressed up and enjoy some lovely tea and finger sandwiches. It looks like you had a fantastic time at that Alice in Wonderland themed tea. So cute that you got a pic with Alice and the Mad Hatter :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful week Kim. And I hope you received your print and that you like it :D

i love tea!!! the little sandwiches and cakes r the best part. looks like u had a great time at the tea party :D
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and lady like. I am a tea lover here. Drink it almost everyday.
ReplyDeleteFunny how I adore tea time, tea pots, tea cups, tea gowns and big ascot style hats that go with them but have never concentrated an editorial on it. It is, like this piece, my absolute fave, vintage theme.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love afternoon tea, pretty china tea cups and teapots, tiered cake stands. There's nothing better than tea and cakes with dainty sandwiches....especially when they are themed like your Alice in Wonderland tea party which looks so cute!

The pics from your tea party look awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the editorial - such detailed pieces!

How charming, I wonder where you find all these fascinating editorials from all over the world! I'm not a fan of tea, I mean it's not a tradition I'm familiar with. However I would be a fan of those delicious cupcakes from your pictures!A big hug my friend :-)
ReplyDeleteKim, I adore that you share photo editorials like this one! This caught my eye on Pinterest, and I am so pleased that you made a post about it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the whimsical feeling of these photos ( and I definitely am reminded of Alice in Wonderland! crossed with Marie Antoinette ). The pastel colors are wonderful, especially in that rosy hue glossed over all the pictures.

Omg Kim...the tea party you went looks sooooooooo delicious. I am willing to givea up my diet for this. I havent had one in ages, would love to dress up in fancy outfit..haha. Okay now i am starving!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a tea party but I think I'd feel so FANCY! And that spread is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love love tea but not quite tea parties!
ReplyDeleteI think tea more of an alone time activity! But these magazine photos may change my mind!

Love the pictures. I don't see myself as a tea party kind of gal. But I would love to attend one, one day.
ReplyDelete-B
I have to admit I am not a tea drinker.
ReplyDeleteHowever I'll sacrifice and have the tea as long as I can also eat all those goodies :)
Seems like you had a great time Kim Elizabeth :)
You have the name of a queen.
I love tea, flowers and the whole modern-vintage look so the editorial is so my type. I am in love with it. Beautiful pictures from the tea party too. Such a cute diploma certificate! :)

I LOVE tea! This is so gorgeous!!! I'm in love with that blue gingham shirt!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be fun to be a part of an editorial like this...get all dressed up, have someone do your makeup and hair and have awesome pics of like these taken? It would be SO much fun!
My dream is to have my own beauty boutique and have a little tea area where peeps can nibble on macaroons and cupcakes when they buy our beauty potions!! <3
OH Kim, I would love to dress up for a tea. I have never been to one but it sounds like something I would love to experience. Of course you have been to one, though. Love the yellow in your outfit. Is a tea something that you do one time just to experience or something that you could do all of the time? dawn suitcase vignettes xo
