Curvy Girl on the Run

How to enjoy a little bit of Paris when you’re in Texas? Well fake it til you make it, right? A friend of mine and I decided to create our own little Parisian holiday over the weekend and we had so much fun!  We started out by visiting  Edith’s French Bistro  in Plano for High Tea. This was such a fun experience! Perfect if you like to be spoiled and waited on constantly! We had a dedicated waiter just for us the for the first hour and he was very kind and waited for us to take pics and talk and have fun while he was trying to do his job.  The tea we selected was so good- I loved mine and drank several cups. Then there was the tower of eats and omg everything was so delicious!  The room was beautiful and the ambience was just lovely. I will say I enjoyed it more when we were the only people in the room. After we had been there about an hour, another group came in and they were a bit obnoxious but we enjoyed it before that!  Enjoy these pics we took at ...

This week I was able to cross another item off of my Forty Before Forty list and that was have high tea in a tearoom. My husband said that we actually had tea before on Mackinac Island but I didn't remember that. I figured it would have been about 9 or 10 years ago that he was talking about. I put this on my list because I have always wanted to say " I'm going to go have tea". Sadly, there were no crumpets but we did have scones and tarts.  I'm fortunate to have friends that want to share in doing things on my list. I ask different friends to do different activities based on interests that I know they have and things we share in common. My friends Rebekah and Rachel went to tea with me and they were the perfect people to share this experience with.  I'll get back to the tea in a minute but I wanted to talk about what I wore first. I had been eyeing this dress from Banana Republic for a while and I decided to get it back in May. I hadn't been shoppi...
