High Tea

Tea and Turquoise traveled the Atlantic last week to visit the homeland for a couple of weeks! I decided to share my traveling essentials. From previous experience your carry on bag can end up being your only bag; so I spent entirely too much time deciding what to pack.....and consequently forget my camera charger....oops.



1. Variation of Magazines (catching up on my UK gossip)
2. IPad, Kindle or the old fashioned paperback books (currently reading "The Help")
3. Calming music to help you sleep.....currently listening to Adele 21.




4. Cashmere sweater; essential to keep warm and double as a blanket
5. Scarf; multiple purposes here; cover your eyes to sleep ( I got some funny looks on this one), double as a pillow, wrap as a headband or wrap over your head when you land to look extra fabulous!
6. Pack a clutch in your carry on to save on packing space and store hair and make up essentials, lip balm, hand lotion and tylenol PM.
7. One phone/camera charger.....oops!

Happy labor day friends! More fall Europe outfit posts to come this week...

Hello Fashionistas!

Skirt: Ann Taylor (Similar here)
Shirt: Old Navy (Love this one! )
Belt: Old Navy
Necklace: J Crew
Wedges: Banana Republic (On sale here! )
Watch: Michael Kors; Bracelets: Jcrew & Banana.

Welcome to Tea and Turquoise!  I haven't wore this skirt in a while but i love the white and black pattern and wanted to find a way to wear it that didn't look boring! Voila!....denim shirts make outfits way more fun!  I love the combination of a pattern on the bottom with a solid on top.

The belt gives the outfit more shape and adds a small accent.  I love to add belts to accentuate your waistline; more to come on this trend.

This is my favourite necklace everrrrrrr. I adore Turquoise (hence the name). This beauty will be making multiple guest appearances in the future....say hello! 

 

These wedges have been my go to shoe allllllll summer long; they go with everything and are super duper tall but so comfortable.....a great investment; scoop these babies up on sale now! 

Would you wear this outfit?  Let me know what you think friends!
