Hard to believe it was that long ago, but last August, several vintage Bay Area ladies (loosely known as The Golden Collective) met up for high tea at the Rotunda in Neiman Marcus. It was a great excuse to spend a gorgeous afternoon together and get gussied up in vintage dresses, matching purses and heels, and *just be girls*. We decided at the time that it should be something we tried to do more often. Understandably, getting half a dozen busy ladies together at the same time can be a challenge - but we managed to meet up again last weekend for another lovely tea! This time the sun was shining hotter than usual in SF, and we met up at a lush Middle Eastern tea salon for potent green teas and delicious snacks. (Un)fortunately, we had too good of a time actually eating and visiting to get any snaps of the group, or the food! I did however cram in a mini photo sesh with Christina (aka For Show) and managed to get a couple shots of my delightful 2-piece cherry print playsuit, perfect for the summer days we've been having! Hopefully there will be many more teas with these ladies in the near future!

High Society
It's always exciting to find a kindred spirit - let alone a group of them! I am thrilled to have found a handful of ladies in the bay area who love vintage and kitsch and adventures as much as i do, and who would be thrilled to dress up and have a fancy tea party! Some of the Golden Collective gals and i got together on Sunday for High Tea at the glass-domed Rotunda in Neiman Marcus. We pretended to be classy ladies, had floral tea and petit fours, and then proceeded to have a photoshoot party in the Ladies Room. Classy, i say. Not to toot our own horn, but we also all looked pretty fabulous.
i wore my prized 1950's german dress
covered in line-drawn houses that remind me
of San Francisco
my back-seam stockings with dainty hands
Christina's fetish shoes stole the show
