Hello Darlings!!!
I am back … and wish I wasn’t!!!! I LOVE MEXICO!!! Really, the country and the people are incredible. It was an unforgettable vacation that was filled with tons of fun, drunken moments , sunny days, and awesome adventure.
Cancun was an ideal vacation destination, with incredible night life and amazing adventure. Grand Oasis is a beautiful 5 star resort, and was definately the heart of the party!!!
Therefore…. I decided to dedicate this post to my vacation wardrobe… which was fairly simple and casual… but still just as important during the vacation as it is during my everyday life. It mainly consisted of bikinis, summery dresses, my new Miss Trish of Capri Sandals ( i lived in them), high heels, flats, jeans, and tees.
BLAST OFF
Well traveling from Canada to Mexico can be a bit difficult…. since we were leaving during a crazy snow storm and deciding what to wear was a mission…
I am wearing:
M. Rena Wool Sweater - my all time favorite, no sweater beats it.
Gap Long Sveele Cotton Shirt
Corpus Skinnies in Ash
Juicy Couture Flats - so comfy
Gap Leather Purse
Coach Swingpack - a gift from AndrewTherefore, I settled for a pair of fluffy flats( but brought a pair of fuzzy socks for an airplane, just to be cozy). I also wore my favorite sweater and a thin long sleeve shirt, but later changed into a tank. My carry on luggage consisted of two purses…. my favorite large leather hobo and a swingpack… which securely keep all the documents and a wallet closely to my body at all times. And of course, no make up - it is just really bad for your skin on the flight.NEW YEARS
All I can say is nothing can compare to ringing in the new year in Cancun…. Simply WOW!!!
Well, New Years is always a big deal to me and having an opportunity to celebrate it in Cancun mean that I had to find a perfect dress. Which turned out to be more difficult then I though… but I did find exactly what I was looking for. A simple,pretty, comfortable and breeze dress…. for an unforgettable night in Cancun city.
I am wearing:
French Connection Dress with pockets - I love it so much, it is so comfy and versatile.
Michael Kors Heels

The night started off with an amazing dinner an a Brazilian stake house, and then went on to The City night club with Sandra Collins DJing which was soooo much fun…and then a party by a swimming pool in our resort.
The New Years celebration lasted into the wee hours of the morning…. 
COBA - Mayan Ruins and Pyramids
When Andrew and I were deciding on our vacation destination earlier this year, we knew that we wanted to have a cultural experience as well as a party atmosphere, therefore Mexico seemed like an ideal choice. For me, as an architectural freak seeing the ruins was probably the most exciting part of the trip ( I am a geek, I know,lol)… and although, I wish I could have seen as three sites close to Cancun (Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Coba) …. I settled for Coba.
I am wearing:
French Connection Cotton Tee Dress - I love in to death.
Miss Trish of Capri Sandals - I lived in them from day to night. I Love them - definitely worth every penny.
Ray Ban Wayfarers - a gift from AndrewCoba is a large ruined city of the Pre-Colonial Mayan civilization and is also a location of the newly discovered Mayan ruins and pyramids. The site was opened to the public in 1972 and only 8 % of an estimate of 6,000 structures are restored.The main pyramid, Nohoch Mul is 42 meters tall ( 138 feet) and is the highest in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Our day was filled with adventure in a Mayan village located in the jungle, where we had a Mayan ceremony with a shaman, ate Mayan food with the locals, wondered around a jungle,Zip-lined across the lake, went swimming in a meteorite crater( Cenote), as well as water canoeing through a lagoon. ( The pictures were impossible to take,lol)
The day was definately filled with adventure and excitement that is truly unforgettable.

P.S. This weekend is really busy for me, since it is my Christmas as well as tomorrow I have the black tie event to attend… and have appointment starting 10 am. Therefore, I apologize for not responding to your warm comments right away.
To a certain degree I am glad to be back… but still adjusting to the brutal cold weather.
Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it on the 7th!!!!!
With Love….

I literally just googled “Chichen Itza Sandals” as I am going there next week and hate tennis shoes more than I can say (I only own a pair of converse all stars to begin with!) I was directed here and seeing you tackle ruins in not only cute sandals but a dress as well has completely inspired me! I’m going for it! Thank you!
Thank you Lena
You should definitely go for it!
