Congratulations, Emily

As mentioned in an earlier post...my baby sister graduated University! We're so proud of her :*). Wore a vintage Celine dress for the occasion.

For those who graduated this year...I know you're all probably a bit scared but you are more than prepared to take on everything life has to offer. I remember when I received my first rejection to an articling position I interviewed for back in 2010, my dad said to me: I know you're disappointed, but at your age, a little set back is not a bad thing. Some disappointments are actually good for us, it may open up other avenues that lead us somewhere better. Just be strong, and accept what life has given you so far and move forward. If all is not working out, there is always a place called home that you can count on and feel welcome.

Congratulations, Graduates of 2012.

iPhone Snapped

I'm in Toronto! Got here last week and it has been a whirlwind of events ever since. I'm here to attend several bridal events (for my beautiful cousin and gf) and a wedding. It has been ridiculously hot the last couple days with temps hitting 43 degrees with humidity! Welcome change to London.

It was my baby sister's convocation a couple days ago and we all couldn't be more proud. I will post clearer pics from my camera a bit later but in the interim, here are a couple pics snapped from my iPhone. I wore a vintage Celine dress. Almost everything I buy, I alter. I'm quite particular about the fit of things, so I prefer to buy a size bigger and then adjust it accordingly. This dress was a 38 (I usually wear 36) but I tucked it in on the sides and the top and it now fits like a glove. Classic tailoring of Celine will never go wrong. I love this dress for the details, like the boning down the corset and the pink underlay beneath the grey.

We had a classy graduation lunch to celebrate. Dress paired with Kurt Geiger pumps, Tom Ford sunnies and Chanel purse. My sister was wearing my Balenciaga dress and some Anne Klein bow pumps. Please join me in congratulating my beautiful sister in her milestone accomplishment.
