University of Toronto Alumni ...its Official!

Today was a tiring, hectic but memorable day......all those long nights of studying, staying up late, cramming, trying to finish off labs....paid off and as proof...the culmination of my works....on this little peice of paper so beautifully inscribed with my name ....needless to say, I feel proud and this is yet another stepping stone in the right direction...my school days are not over...but my undergrad degree is and finally I get my HBSc =)....
As you can see, I had a blow out done on my hair because I cannot do it myself if my life depended on it :s....so I had to fork out ...and pay to get it done
..As promised, here is the dress I wore by J Crew that I found at my fave store Value Village for a whole $10! and just perfect in my size....I also wore a pair of shoes that I had bought about a year ago on sale at Winners and my moms Betsey Johnson Jeweled purse (It has jewel encrusted leopards on it...the most beautiful bag I have seen in a while!)....
....We went to dinner after the ceremony at one of my favorite restaurants called Grappa...I LOVE that place...its small, cozy, and the food is great (a tad on the pricey side though)!
....well just thought I would share this special day and special news with you guys because I really do love you all!
....well im off to get some rest, maybe watch a movie and get ready for another hectic day...almost my birthday...two more days!!

p.s. I still cant wait to show you guys my latest thrift finds....some really great stuff!
