When Patrician Parisienne comes to town (she’s now married and based in London, but thankfully returns often to Paris), she has a whirlwind of soirées to attend and slew of friends to visit. Hard to do in just a few days. So she came up with a great solution… a tea party to which she invites all her friends in Paris…throw in some Sugar Daze cupcakes, a fabulous Habitat Parisien Paris apartment, some Kusmi tea, and some gorgeous handbags by Kasia Deitz and you’ve got yourself more than a tea party, you have an event! Put a bunch a young social media friendly women in the mix of all that and you can seriously get some promotion done, as well as have fun. Instagram was a buzz with #HabitatParisienXPatriciaParisienneTeaParty !

And that’s what we did. Bébé Chéri come with me, and was a bit cranky because of the beginnings of teething (oh joy), but but was fun to show him off, and hang out on a lovely rooftop terrace in that fantastic Habitat Parisian apartment.

Indulgent, photogenic and frilly, it was a delightful evening under a beautiful golden sun with some rather fabulous expats and bloggers. A 50lb Wardrobe was there, Ever After Press, Le Paris Blog, Diana Antholis, Ambitieuse Paris, Lou in Paris, and Louise McEvoy (and of course Kasia Dietz).
