It's a beautiful night...

We attended a wedding reception this weekend. I really do love weddings.:) Zara dress, Aldo heels On the sewing front, here's the little one wearing the dress I made for her. Not perfect, and I probably did more ripping than sewing with this project, but she loves it, and that's all that matters, right? :D (I do make stuff for my boys as well, but frankly, she's more demanding!:P) Sewing pattern is this one , in case you're interested:) How was your weekend, guys?

There's nothing like wearing clothes that you've had for awhile and are sure to be comfortable... cardigan I knitted, Banana Rep tank, jeans from Target, Vans slip ons What are your tried-and-true pieces? :D

I mentioned in a post  that I just bought a sewing machine, and since then, I've tried to squeeze in small projects here and there as much as I can. Hemming pants and curtains, making little bags and a pencil case....Well, guys, I thought it was time to sew a garment I can actually wear.

(Going to parties is also not my norm...just saying...) I do like wearing these heels, so any excuse.... top from my mom, skirt I knitted, Aldo heels How was your weekend?

Fan Expo Canada 2015 (Picture-Heavy)

On Saturday (Sept 5), the whole family (minus the little one) went to Fan Expo , which some of you may know is a yearly tradition for us. We stayed almost till closing this time, and we were all really pooped by the end of the day, but it was so worth it. The cosplay, as always, was amazeballz. For the Harry Potter fans, the Weasley twins, Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley were all there (the actors, I mean:D)!  Pics below:D So many peeps! Wanted to see Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich up close, but by the time we got there, there were gone...sigh.... And OMG! I was so excited to find out that this movie based on one of my all-time favourite books is coming out in December! So excited to have a pic with this guy. After all, as I told him, "You're on my shirt!" ( Spirited Away =awesome) Just call me Sen...hehe Dance off between these two And then, this happened
