Slit Sleeve

 When in doubt wear black and white. 

Classics

 What's more classic than a trench, a little black dress, and a pair of pointed toe pumps? 

New Accessory: The Grad Cap

 As of yesterday night I am officially a high school graduate! I came into high school in 2011 literally knowing no one at all. Over my four years in high school I have made so many new friends and have met so many great people who I hope to stay in touch with! 

My graduation ceremony last night lasted two and a half hours (I think...). There were over 250 people in my grade (I think...) so it took forever to call each graduate up to get our diplomas and I am so thankful for the students who went up and did something stupid getting their diploma because it really made the ceremony much more entertaining. 

Right when the grad ceremony and reception ended my friend, my sister, and I went to a pub where I ran into three of my teachers. I'm pretty sure that was just a bit weird for all of us. It was nice to see them one last time though since they were some of my favourite teachers :) 

Overall I would say I enjoyed my high school experience and my advice to current/future high school readers is to make the most of it, and do your best to not get senioritis in grade 12 because I got a really bad case of it. 

Friday Night's Alright

This past Friday was my family friends Sweet Sixteen Party! I love a Friday party because it's a great way to end off the week and start the weekend. For me a this week a Friday night party was especially great because I was off sick for the entire week and I finally got out of the house and had fun. 

 I wore a casual over sized blouse with heels, messy hair and a red lip. To accessorize the blouse I wore a tie from a dress I had which shrunk, but I still liked the tie so I cut it off to wear with other things. For me the tie made the blouse a little more formal and different. Wearing something like an over sized blouse as a dress to party is a great way to stray away from the basic short tight black dress, while still having fun with your wardrobe.

       On Friday night I went to the FAT 2015 Launch Party presented by Nord Magazine at a boutique called Parloque on Queen Street West. Friday was definitely a fun night and Parloque is the coolest store in T.O.                  

Canadian Art and Fashion Awards

This past Saturday night played host to the second annual Canadian Art and Fashion Awards (CAFA) at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto. CAFA is meant to honor Canadian talent in the fashion industry as well as emerging Canadian talent. The host for the evening was Joe Zee, editor in chief of Yahoo Style. Some of the winners of the evening include Anais Pouliot for Model of the Year, Erdem for International Canadian Designer of the Year, and Mikhael Kale for Womenswear designer of the year. 

I had the pleasure of being at this years awards ceremony and was lucky to have the opportunity to meet some of Canada's most important names in fashion. 

On the Search for Shoes

If anyone knows of store other than the major department stores in New York City that may carry Christian Louboutin shoes (specifically the So Kate in black) in a size 4 or 4.5 could you please comment below and let me know! They're so hard to find! 

All help is much appreciated.
