Cancun 2011 Lookbook FINALLY



Well, this is about a century overdue...not to mention incomplete due to my butter fingers launching the other camera to the bottom of the sea.  This compilation was produced using the bf's new camera purchased shortly before leaving for the trip, which was way too big and expensive to bring anywhere involving liquids and with the photos taken by our new friends we made while there!  Thanks Christina!

Hi, I'm a Canadian...in case you couldn't tell by my double-denim tag team, Team Canada mittens or my hockey duffel.
Shirt, socks, skarf and toque-Joe Fresh, jeggings and anorak-Urban Outfitters, mitts-Zellers, moccasins-gifted, duffel-ProHockey Life



Don't know why I look so menacing here.  I think we were annoyed about overcast skies upon arrival.

Wee!  Trying out the camera's different functions.  This one takes 25 frames super fast, so you can scroll through like a flip book!  The beds were already pushed together like this when we got there, hahaha.
Lace body suit and skirt-American Apparel
