My sis couldn't be with us due to school, so I wore the ring she gave me for my 26th birthday.

THEORY blazer, random white shirt, EBAY tulle, CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN shoes, WOLFORD tights, PRADA gloves, VINTAGE ring gifted from my sister

Last week I had my masters convocation. I attended my undergraduate convo, but skipped my law degree one, so this one was a celebration of both my LLB and LLM.

I bought the three layer tulle online after my unsuccessful attempt at online Lanvin & HM shopping. Personally, I think I like it better, but then again a girl can never have too many tulles.

I've never received a pen before and on my graduation day, I received two! I think it is the perfect graduation gift, especially for my future career. The Mont Blanc one was given to me by my father, it has a diamond on the top! I better use the ink wisely, I don't think I can afford the refills.

Happy Monday!

BURBERRY PRORSUM shearling coat, GUCCI pants, ASOS sweater/booties, BURBERRY earmuffs, LOUIS VUITTON bag, CUSTOM glasses

Over the weekend we headed to watch a tennis tournament playing at Royal Albert Hall. To say my dad is a fanatic about tennis is a slight understatement. At almost 62 he still plays at least 3x a week (which is more than I can say for my 26 year old arse). We watched former champion players from 'his time' ranging from ages 35-55. Makes me feel extremely out of shape.

Anyway, here are some shots from the afternoon. We followed this with a meal at St.John (the resto I think every Londoner brings their guests to experience true British food).

Like my hat?

MONCLER jacket, AA shirt (gifted from sis), CA4LA hat (stolen from bf), RAF SIMON snood (stolen from bf), CHEAP MONDAY jeans, LIUJO belt (gifted from Mass' mom), SOREL boots (gifted from dad), LOUIS VUITTON purse, CLUB MONACO gloves

HUGE apologies for my absence this past week and a half, work has me so drained. The good news is that xmas is near and I'll be home for the holidays, which means more time to connect.

My parents have been in town for the past week or so for my LLM convocation. They couldn't have come at a worse time; there was a snowfall here that didn't stop for a week, something that hasn't happened in London in two decades. I left all my winter clothes at home in Toronto but my dad came to the rescue when he gave me my 26th birthday present of Sorels! I had been looking all over London for them last year (to no avail) and my sis must've gave my dad some good advice. They are so warm! I don't own a pair of Uggs (never will) and hands down, these are much 'cooler' and sturdier.

Above pics are from the Portobello Market (infamous Notting Hill market) from the weekend. They have a ton of fur being sold by vendors and my mom and I picked a couple hats up. She's rocking the one up there, isn't she?

Hope you're having a great Sunday!
