My love of fashion began at an early age. At 12 years old, I was sketching clothing designs, dreaming of the fashion world, and creating my own label, "cesicrep", using my family's initials.

Although fashion was  my passion, I joined the Canadian Armed Forces after high school and served for 28 years. During that time, I raised children, completed a Fashion Merchandising course in Nova Scotia, and built a life, raising children and filled it with experiences that shaped who I am today.

After retiring from the military, I worked in aerospace, manufacturing and shipbuilding. I also experienced the loss of the love of my life, my husband, Dave. Through it all, I never lost my appreciation for fashion, creativity, and beautiful design.

That passion was reignited while thrifting with a friend, where I rediscovered the joy of finding unique, quality pieces and giving them a second life .
