“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Drama and theatrical lounging on leather chairs in glittery heels characterised this final assortment of shots from Richmond Tea Rooms.

In part three, Rosalind provided the vintage leather pencil skirt, Brettles floral house coat, sixties silk evening coat and various other bits and bobs. The striped leggings are from So in Fashion.

“Look after the senses and the sounds will look after themselves”

Terms such as ‘down the rabbit hole’ or ‘through the looking glass’ have become shorthand for anything vaguely fantastical or dream-like. But although Richmond Tea Rooms is reached by the more mundane method of stairs, it is very much a Wonderland. No surprises there - Lewis Caroll’s surreal tales were the main inspiration behind this gorgeous café-cum-cocktail bar. But there were no daiquiris or gin slings on this visit, which took place at the rather unearthly hour of 7.30am. The early start didn’t stop us scampering from chair to chair, lounging on sofas and flinging ourselves against patterned wallpaper in a quest for dramatic shots. This was ‘Alice’ meets ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ with florals and feather eyelashes a plenty.
