Graduation Overload

So when I graduated from college just over 2 years ago there wasn't that much hype. Like I believe I went out for dinner with my family and my class threw a formal dinner/dance, but no party just for me (although I did have a highschool grad party so I doubt I'm allowed to complain too much). This year, however, I have been to 4 grad parties (2 highschool and 2 college). One was a big backyard affair, one was nautically themed, one had a bouncy castle and one was a formal-hall rental-dance party. All were loads of fun (I've been reading to many British novels), but the kicker was all the presents! It's like weddings but not quite. Makes me wish I'd had one haha. I think I've had my share for this year! Congratulations (again) to everyone who graduated this year!

3rd Annual Elle Gala Event

On April 24, 2010 the 3rd Annual Elle Magazine Gala was held at the Carlu Hotel in downtown Toronto. This was my first time attending and I will definitely be attending again next year. Tickets were about $50 for general admission to the vendors/demonstratons and for the cocktail reception and fashion show in the evening. All the free swag and girftbags more than made up for that cost though. The cocktail - oh that was FREE. Yep free wine = a good time. It was really cool to see a real fashion show, VIP seating and all. It's pretty much an all day thing, with lunch provided. In the afternoon we left for a bit to go grab an early dinner and have some drinks at the Scotland Yard pub on the Esplanade - if you go have the sliders, amazing!
