the old city - part one



My husband and I just returned from a fantastic vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where we spent the week with friends at a gorgeous villa called Rivera del Rio in the old part of the city. The people we met and new friends we made will forever make me smile. Thanks to our dear friend Tab for being such a wonderful host and to our new friends Alex, Church Gerry, Chio and Benjamin for their hospitality. Levanto una copa a mis amigos.


Still on the hunt for the perfect mariachi pants. I attempted to get one of these gentlemen to sell me theirs' with no luck. Next time we visit I will have to make the trek to Guadalajara to get a pair of my own.


Cute as a button.


Street chalk artists in the town square.


No words...


Local transportation.


A dapper gent  that I saw on the Pier.  I regret not being able to hear him play.


The villa formally owned by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton under construction to become condominiums, sad really.

this time tomorrow





This time tomorrow I will be on the beach for some much anticipated R&R and sunshine.  I can't wait to visit some of the local markets and spend time with good friends.  We are staying at a restored mansion that has been converted into a fantastic boutique hotel. I look forward to posting some special vintage pieces that I've been saving for just the right occasion. Stay tuned!

Like the saying goes `time flies when you're having fun'!  I can't believe that another year has passed since I first started the blog. Thank-you for the many comments and support.  I love to hear your feedback and how my vintage and thrifted finds inspire the way you dress. 
Cheers to another year, Stephanie
