One of my all-time favourite places to wile away a weekend morning is at French-Patisserie-style cafe franchise Passiontree Velvet, sharing a delicious meal with family & friends. This time, however, my mother & I decided to truly treat ourselves, enjoying a "Devonshire Tea" experience (not dissimilar to a High Tea) for something a little bit different... before hitting the shops for some retail therapy, of course...

For the occasion, I decided to wear the gorgeous monochrome embroidered floral silk/satin retro-style shift with "swishy" godet hemline from Mossman that I last wore on Good Friday with a light black mesh three-quarter-sleeved cardigan from a (now defunct) label called Leaf, tied at the front in a large bow to give a modicum of shape at the waistline, a pair of comfortable yet stylish black suede mules with a small heel from Wittner (ideal for the cooler weather we've been having) & shiny silver handbag from Forever New. When I came to jewellery, I decided to stay with shades of silver & black, wearing a chunky vintage wooden bangle with heavy embellishment that a dear friend brought back from India & a matching silver & onyx charm bracelet & ring from Pandora.
