back to mexican mansions

Photobucket

That was quick wasn't it? One day in England, the next back lounging in front of some colourful colonial architecture! Of course, and rather sadly, these pictures were taken before my departure. Knowing I wouldn't have much time when I first got here, I stocked up on photographs before I left. And now, as well as making my life a little easier, they make me a little nostalgic.

I think when I put this outfit together one morning, I had ideas that it could be a good fall look for once I got here. Which just goes to show that I have no imagination when it comes to the weather. I guess with tights, a scarf, and a jacket I will wear this out of the house, but by that point it will hardly be the same look anymore.

The photos were taken at a lovely little place near where I lived. It's a bar/cafe after 1 pm, with theatrical productions on Thursdays and a constant showing of Back to the Future III on Sunday nights.

Great outfit :) I've been accessorizing with coats and gloves for a while now.. my icey ears begrudge my continuing search for the perfect beret though. I think I might have to speed that one up a bit..

Love that last photo - the blue house and the green van - too cool (only not cool at all but looking lovely and warm :P)

Love the location. So, it's okay if you show us Mexico pics until you are settled in.

Those boots are awesome! Love the whole outfit.

Beautiful pictures. Still nostalgic about Mexico? Me too. Whenever we return from a vacation to Mexico, the pleasant memories linger with us for a long time.

Lenne said...

I'm glad you stockpiled photos of bright & warm Mexico for viewing on these bleak & dreary days! :)

milly said...

Just found your blog.. Via others, as usually happens ~ i enjoy looking around and following other bloggers!

I'm from England and just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your 1st few posts about holiday-ing over here :)
I've never been to Whitby!
May sound cheesy, but it's so nice to read about someone's positive times over here... Whilst I am always making plans to move to the US, I am bizarrely fond of being British & it's especially nice to hear how much you love tea (!) did you try Earl Grey whilst you were over here??! it's my absolute favourite!
So it's your dad's side that's British right?
Have you any plans to come back?!
Take care! X

Elaine said...

i love everything about this outfit--the royal blue really pops against the white dress. it makes me think of the photographs of bone-white grecian buildings against the bright mediterranean sea :) mexico is so colorful!

Jennifer Dawn said...

I really like dresses with classic flat boots like that. It's one of my favorite looks. I am just waiting to find my perfect flat boots so I can try it out myself :)

Back to the Future III is my least favorite. First is best!
