Someone (can't remember who) requested market photos and as I just visited the wee Cambridge market with my sister, I thought I would comply. This market is a lot like the farmer's markets I visit back home: fresh flowers, baked goods, crafts, and all. Although, since we are in a rather tourist-y spot, they threw in some classy, themed undergarments...
Before I left the States I hunted around for a good pair of black jeans...they just seemed so practical! These are highwaisted (which I love) and really stretchy so they're comfortable as well. I wore these on my flight, but I never got a full outfit picture that day. As with everything else I packed, I decided I had to be able wear the items in at least three different combinations before I would let myself pack them. Although, now that I'm hear there are a couple of outfits I think I might just repeat rather than remix the pieces...sometimes when you find a combination you like you return to it.
Outfit details:
Myne silk blouse via Gilt (worn backwards & knotted)
BCBG jeans
Topshop flats
Deux Lux purse
Cheap Monday sunglasses

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
It's so weird seeing pictures of you sitting on the fountain when I've sat there so many times!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are loving Cambridge, and I love your shoes. :)
Great pictures! I really love that blouse and those Topshop flats.:)SarahD
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to Cambridge four years ago, I saw ducks! A mummy one and little babies all in a row like the book. Did you see 'em?
ReplyDeleteI had a great tea near the shop Ark. I hope you managed to visit because they had an awesome selection of Penguin merchandise.

lucky traveler! You look gorgeous in blue!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I remember shopping in this marketplace and having it be dry as a whistle one minute and raining cats and dogs the next. My friends and I had to stick it out under the tents for a few minutes until the rain got lighter, so we could make a run for it back to Pembroke! haha
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible for you to take a picture outside Pembroke's main gate? That would bring back a lot of memories for me.
These market photos are brilliant. The candy one is my favorite.... I get what you been about finding that favorite combo and just wanting to do it again and again!
ReplyDeleteOh my my how I miss this place.
ReplyDeleteI agree packing light is essentially on trips like this.

I have only seen you wear jeans a few times! they look great! very chic and casual
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your blog but having grown up between London and Cambridge it is such a delight to see you somewhere so very very familiar. I recently pictures on my blog a union jack umbrella purchased from one of those very stalls, classy huh? ;)
ReplyDeletedid you buy a pair of union jack nickers? i would have, to kitchy to resist!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great travelling outfit: simple, unfussy and elegant. And I really like that blouse worn backwards (no fear of egg silhouettes that way) ; )
ReplyDeleteI would looove to see a big outfit wrap-up/packing guide at the end of your trip. I'm planning a three-week holiday to Europe next summer and my goal is to pack as lightly as possible and still feel good about what I'm wearing. Your remixes are incredibly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily just a bit above me. Unfussy and elegant for travel. But the pop of colour is really nice. It makes you fit right in to these great images.
ReplyDeleteXX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
That top looks so cool knotted like that! I love this.
ReplyDeleteI've been in search of some black skinny jeans too! Guess I'll have to look into the ones you're wearing...
ReplyDeleteAnd great pictures! =]
