In between practicing driving with my mother { craziness } and watching the Habs WIN, I decided to play dress up instead of homework :-) I pulled out Great Grandma's portrait dress and took some pictures.

Hair Appointment is coming soon. And the braces will be off soon after.

SO MANY EXCITING THINGS COMING UP!

Jac-An dress. Random belt. Sphera Paris pumps. Ardenes specs.

the oompa loompa knows it's happening.

Ronnie is back from Egypt! I can't wait to hear all about her adventures and see all of her beautiful pictures, once she gets over the 6 hour jet lag!

Oompa Loompa on acid. My outfit today according to my Tiny Jesus Keegs and a girl in Chemistry class. AWESOME.

Mexican dress. Old Navy shirt. The Greenroom tights. Ardenes socks. Jules and James Blue suede pumps. I don't understand how I look like an orange midget who works in a candy factory... but whatever.

Also, big news in the hair department.

I'm doing it. Monday.

Love it? Hate it? Rate it.

Ideas rock my socks!

you know that feeling?

Necklace and earrings handmade for me in Mexico :) Jacob turtleneck. 60's skirt from Great Grandma. Tights from the Green Room in Stratford. Booties by Alfred Sung.

SO... I am finally back from Mexico! It was probably the most amazing trip that I have every been on! I can't even wait to post all the photos from it! I, along with my entire family, have a great deal of new found respect for Mexico, her people, and her culture. It was so diverse and welcoming, I wish I would have put it higher on the list for exchange destinations!

And now for other things of importance!

Happy Belated Birthday Nicholas and Jesus!
Nicholas is my brother, and he shares the same birthday as the son.

Christmas outfits. One of the most exciting parts of the season for me! I love to dress up in the colours of the season and wear luxurious fabrics and patterns! My family laughs at me every time. This year, I was asked by my Nana if "I was going to Florida!?!" Don't ask me how this makes any sense in context. It doesn't. This outfit is more appropriate for riding in a One-Horse open sleigh with than traveling to a tropical destination.

Wearing Old Navy Jacket, Thrifted Elephant skirt and skating hat, unknown scarf thingy, Diesel shoes, NEW Louis Vuitton handbag!

Another accessory that I am very proud of is my hair! It was braided traditionally by one of the locals during the trip. Isn't it just lovely? This sea lion seems to like it too.

Today is going to be a very short posting. Right now I am in Mexico: Puerta Vallarta to be exact! The place we are staying is a resort called Barcelo, ad it is heaven on earth. Examples? Let's just say that everything is included; ALL DRINKS (by all I mean A.L.L. drinks), food 24/7, and tours that consist of chillin' with dolphins and electric eels.

Just look for yourself. Isn't it beautiful?

Oh! Did I mention that I had a tequila tasting today? And that I bought a bottle of mandarin flavor?

eating chocolate icing.

So, we are almost there. Kinda. Toronto, Ontario { where we are flying out of }

Oh, and we leave in 6ish hours: that's 3am for people who are time-reading-challenged.

Because of this GREAT CONVENIENCE, we are staying at a hotel: the Quality Inn. At least they gave us paper and pens to entertain ourselves with!

( But they kind of wimp out on the pads of paper and pens: the most important part of the visit. The pen was dried up and the pad had ONE PIECE OF PAPER. )

DEFINITION OF SHIT.

Regardless of this great disappointment,  the night has been decently awesome. We ate an amazing dinner at an awesome Italian restaurant called Graffiti. It was delicious. Then we had a nap for a few hours. Now I am texting my JEALOUS friends back home and drinking strange tasting tap water. I can tell that this is going to be a good trip.

Tired, but still smiling.

How I feel about the early morning and spending 7 days with my family.

PRE-TRIP RATING: 8 THUMBS UP!
