don’t see it in my future, i’m also not a fortune teller

It was totally raining Friday morning and I was thinking Corlise must have been freaking. She was marrying Milton at 2:30 and I sent out as many positive vibes as I could that the sun would come out. It did.

It was really pretty, the wedding has at her grandparents house. I would love to go to a wedding at my Grandad’s place out on the coast of New Zealand near Glenburn Station. This photo is just down the coast from his place.

The site for Glenburn Station must be new cause I’ve not seen it before and looking at it made me teary.  I hang out there when I visit. I really want to visit. This trip to New Zealand for NZ Fashion Week is really inspiring me. I want to go back again, alone, and I want to visit the whole country. I’ve never seen the South Island or Christchurch. That’s where the 7.0 quake hit last Friday AM.

Grandma on Dad’s side has a farm too. We used to have a pet goat there named Snowflake, before they ate her.

She looked beautiful getting out of a horse drawn carriage. I just can’t see myself doing that. The day, when it’s all about me and people bring presents and scedule their whole day around what I want. I feel guilty just thinking about it. I will need a few drinks to get to an alter. I’m not so sure about that love drunk thing. An EHarmony ad just came on the TV, GET OUTTA HERE.

OMFG. there they go, they’re gonna do it, holds breath…

She did it. Corlise wanted to marry Milton, they’ve got house and stuff, aLmost married already. So cute together they are.

Then comes the party. The best part. I’ve not been to  friends wedding yet so this was pretty fun. I only knew the bridesmades and a few Mum’s so it was all new peeps for me.

New friends. The boy has a MySpace for his band he insisted I check out; the kyle rose. Listening now, it’s folk. He never told me that! I was thinking he was in some young kid band. What a cutie pie.

YOUR PARENTS ARE WATCHING. OMFG.

Go Team: Jenie Stewart, Katie Stewart, Casie Stewart

Maids. Nice dresses ladies. I can haz? No. The girls are all the same age as my sis, four years younger than me.

That’s the end. One less lonely girl.

Take me down to the paradise city. Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Take me home. Oh, won’t you please take me hoooooome!

See you soon DAD! Heading home for the weekend with my sister. One of her friend is getting maried. None of my friends get married, what’s that say? Probably that we are all hardworking yuppies in the city who go out during the week and spend more time on the internet furthering our careers than settling down suberbs style and catch a fish. Ya? I think so.

These photos were taken by the lovely Erin Leydon. We had a shoot the other week. She’s a jem.

Really looking for a break from the concrete jungle where all my dreams are coming true right now. I want grass and trees and car rides with Dad and home cooked meals. I get sick of Sushi for one and eating dinner from a takeout box while standing alone in my kithen. Somedays I enjoy that the most. Others I don’t. I’m going to see old friends and hear new stories about their lives. I sometimes don’t want to talk about my life when I see people because I already told the whole free world about what I am doing on my blog. Everything and nothing at the same time; I saw a movie, went to a party, layed down in the grass, watched a youtube. It’s all stuff and a life, it’s my life and I love it. I love sharing. Part of the reason I love sharing it to talk to myself and remember things better. A blog is really good therapy. Always listens to your thoughts and helps you get them out.

It was realy windy the day we were shooting.

Ok bye. I’ve not packed and I gacve my sister shit about not being late and guess what, BIG SURPRISE…I’m going to be late. Sorry Dad :)

LOVE YOU. Happy Weekend xo

p.s. MUM, if you read this I love you and miss you heaps. Will be with Jenie & Dad all weekend. Maybe we can Skype? Coralise is getting married on Sunday and I’m Jenie’s date to the wedding! ♥ xo

we bring the fun, we bring the fire, we are the future.#genyto

First of all, thank you everyone that came out last night. It was one of the most epic GenYTO night’s we’ve had. It was HUUUUGE! I arrived early and there were already a few peeps ready to get the party started. Soon as 8pm rolled around, the sun was setting and a steady flow of people filled the London Tap House patio.

Before we knew it, we had a full on PARTIO happening.

There are five of us on the organizing team and we all have red marked name tags, they are Erin (above with Jonathan), Renee (below) , Daniel & Dave.

Dave in the pink shirt.


I met a heap of new people who were happy to be attending a GenYTO for the first time. Heard comments all night about how many new faces there were around. I love that.

This group started in Feb. 2009 with about 30 people meeting at an uptown bar near Young and Eglington. Last night, our guest list topped 300 and there was lineup to get in for part of the night. Amazing, eh!

There were lots of babes around too. That’s Daniel on the right beside tattoo’d stud.

Fiiiiine ladies.

Digging this track reco from @JoelReilly, below.

He made this for me today. I called him Wayne and now I’m Garth. haha So funny.

Sean Ward show in the haus.

There were a heap more photos you can see here or check me on FB for the album. Stay tuned for September GenYTO info. We’ve got some things to share with everyone and it will without a doubt be a night NOT to miss.

Happy Friday everyone. TGIF MoFo’s!

p.s. sorry to be annoying but did you vote for me in the Virgin thingy? it’s over in 4 days. don’t worry :)

hey see you at #genyto old friends and new friends

Genyto is pretty dang fun. One time, earlier this year, we did chatroulette!

Everyone is really nice and likes to have fun. Meet some of the peeps!

See you tonight!

TweetgasmTO V1.2 with lazers and stuff yo.

Was home at a decent hour after Tweetgasm last night. Thanks for everyone who came out.  There was a neat art display in room 212 upstairs and Lynsie and some friends played with lazers!! We tried like crazy to make hearts, this one is the best we got.

Good thing she is a photographer and knows how to work a camera. I would have never figured out how to make fancy light show photos. I know now! Yay. The mural in the little Twitter room was pretty rad too.

Next Tweetgasm is late September, stay tuned for that. Quite looking forward to GenYTO on Thursday, over 235 people confirmed! New faces and old friends will make for a great time.

I’m heading to Andrew Richard Designs shortly, Gap Inc. is having a launch party for their new online shopping site. Kinda crazy they didn’t have online shopping in Canada till now eh?

Laughing photos are my most fav. Enjoy the day! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

bud camp team 2010

hardly no service for two days + didn’t internet

But it was fun. Seeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Exhausted from a whole day on the bus with the Bud gurlz. Sweet thangs they are. (HIIIIII to you if you are reading girls!)  Everyone was super nice and fun especially the security and event staff. One employee girl was bit snooty but I reckon it’s because I got an outfit and didn’t wear it. Yay me! I’m wearing it NOW as I BLOG. :)

Overall, we had a fun time. The food was pretty good too. Nice getting there before all the boys arrived on Friday. There were so many boys. About 150 winners each with a plus 1.  Watching them get off the bus and come down the gaultlet past the girls was charming.

I missed the internet but not as much as I thought. Wilderness was pretty nice. Fresh air, stars, woodchips and fire. We stayed offsite at a house with full bathroom and tv which was great. Freaked out over chipmunks. I though I liked them, but no. They are cute from far but far from cute. Rascals, all nut eating and scurrying and stuff.

They  need to have mobile charging stations at these type of things. The cabin stayers had no outlets. None!! I hardly had phone service and couldn’t checkin on foursquare.  Wahhhh. Chatted a dude about getting the mayorship but my phone was not playing nice so he got it. Learned for about $5,000 per carrier you can get a temp tower put up. That would be badass, wifi for everyone. WordPress mobile, twitter, facebook and posting via email to tumblr FTW.

Talk nerdy to me. Lots happening this week, looking forward to it.  Tweetgasm at the Gladstone Melody Bar Monday night and GenYTO Thursday at the Tap House. Also The Virgin contest is over in 9 days and I need your votes to keep the lead. Yvonne & Smich are right behind me! The Bud Camp team 2010 video is uploading to youtube right now. Thrilled to be back home and in my own bed. Pretty tired. Yay sleep.

Happy Monday!

i love this city.

Rannie took this beautiful photo from our balcony before out shoot yesterday. We took photos for the Vitamin Water Canada blog and in his 140 project. Stay tuned for that. Good day yesterday mostly around the house working on a couple upcoming projects.

Went for an evening stroll with Sabrina to Bellwoods and visited a friends roof patio for some wine and sunset. Stopped by CTS on the way, my fav shop. They had a bunch of items that were $1 and I picked up a couple vintage dresses I can totally do a Pretty in Pink switch to. I’m giving Zoey (my sewing machine) a workout this winter.

Heading to the Fairlie Agency for a little co-working woith Carly-Anne today. Haircut at 4 with Darren, think I’m gonna buzz it one last time for summer. Dinner with Jeremy and some friends tonight, we finally all get to meet his crush. Loser karaoke after that but I’m gonna have to call it an early night. I still haven’t packed for Bud Camp  and we leave at 7am.

Check out this vid I make a cameo in by My City Lives. I’ve been in a few of their videos one on the red carpet and one about genYTO. Check out their site to see more stuff about our wonderful city and some other cool peeps talking about it.

Gotta run. Lots of work to do. See ya on the internet loves!

#WarpedTour: guest post by @jordanrachael feat @lights @taylormomsen @OfficialAAR

Earlier this summer I sent two people as Casie Stewart Brand Ambassadors to Vans Warped Tour – Mike Albertini & Jordan Rachel. I gave them all access media & back stage. I asked Jordan to write about her experience & here it is.

I’m Jordan, reporting for casiestewart.com … Van’s Warped Tour 2010.

The Van’s Warped Tour is known to have one of the biggest set lists for any concert, with 70+ bands appearing at our hometown Toronto date, there was no shortage of genres represented.


From the smooth poppy vocals of newly acclaimed Mike Posner, to the grungy rock sound of Taylor Momsen’s band The Pretty Reckless, fans of all kind gathered to see their favourite bands.I had the opportunity to get all access, backstage, media access with my partner in crime Michael Albertini.

One of the first things Mike and I saw was a pretty tough looking dude sporting a “F**K JUSTIN BEIBER” tshirt.. (yes, spelt like that). From then on, we knew that this day would be one for the history books. The first artist we knew we had to see was Mike Posner, and as I suspected, with him came along a following of loyal fangirls. Although fairly new to the scene, or at least to my knowledge of him, he’s had a pretty steady crowd goin’ on. I guess that hit “Cooler Than Me” has really caught on!

Soon after, we hit a few other bands such as The Cab, and The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band (They were insane!!!)

Then it was time for The Pretty Reckless, and most importantly for us: T.MOM!

Not gonna lie, I have been a big fan of Gossip Girl for a while now, but let me tell you I have now seen Lil’ J in a whole new light… and I loved it! She had passion, and surprisingly, she’s got pipes!! Afterward we had to meet her.. duh.

Throughout the day, we spent a little time back in the crew’s area to scope the scene..
We had encounters such as chatting with T.Mom in her pajamas, talking to Lights about her “Lights Army” and running into Tyson Ritter of the All American Rejects while he was cruisin’ on his skateboard.

Then it was back to the bands, from Mayday Parade (a personal fave) to the All American Rejects, to a childhood flashback Sum 41. Deryck Whibley hasn’t changed one bit since the old days! Apart from his split from Avril Lavinge. Our last band of the night was quite a nice change of pace, metal/hardcore band from Queens, New York, Emmure. They had one of the most insane crowds of the night, but I guess that’s what comes with the genre. The fans really do go all out.


Overall, my experience at the 2010 Van’s Warped Tour was pretty awesome, I saw some bands I’ve been dying to see for years, had the opportunity to photograph them, and even speak to a few personally.

Warped Tour ’10, you were sweet.

Hipster Hop: @vicecanada & @INQmobile Pheromone Party

Now this was a fun time. INQ Mobile & Vice teamed up to throw this donut party complete with bottled pheromones to turn up the temperature even hotter.

Gimme pheromone pumps girl.

The party was for a new phone. I didn’t really get to try it out.

Open bar, good tunes and more babes with beards than I could handle.

Fritz Helder & crew. (Note beards/babes ratio – told ya!)

Party was at Air­ship 37, a ware­house just south of the Dis­tillery. Team Stewart happening here. Good Looks obvs run in the family.

Hottest photog ever w/ Violca from Masion.

I brought my business cards as you can see.

Hi cuties.

This babe was the art director of the party.

He just flew in from France. He was very cute. He had a strong French accent.

I got him with my URL too.

Danced a bit to DJ’s Ryne­col­o­gist and Your Boy Brian. This is my friend Stephen. Saw a couple of the actual cool kids from MuchMTV too.

Fistpump w/ Renee.

It was def a lovely time.

Happy Monday suckas. Make it a good one :)

the more we dress together the happier we’ll be

I want you.

I need you.

Stopped by to see Jonathan. Mentioned him before, he runs Shop My Clothes which you should totally check out. I got shopped. Check out my additions to clothes mountain – yellow skirt & top . Skirt was a hit last night. You can buy sell your own clothes on the site FOR FREE. There are so many nice things. I could get lost in that online closet for sure.

I want these. Just got the Fall lookbook for Gap. GAH. SO many nice things. Get all over my body. Sheesh I love you. Gap was my first job ever when I was 16. It was a dream to work there then. I was well dressed in highschool. People love/hated it.

Love the windows at Holts right now. I was never inside the box. Claustrophobia. Cluster-phobia.

How cute is Marc? Adorable. He’s in the Scott Pilgrim movie. Seriously. Saw it last night and saw his face on the big screen. My friends are famous.

No clothes. Naked News! That’s Naked News girl Tanya Rigley. I know her too.

Roof pool hangsies with Lauren time. Hmm, been hanging around a few ‘Laurens’ lately. Boutette, O’Nizz, Raymi Lauren – all babes, love it. Ok, have a great day. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

casie stewart vs. teh interweb

I’m running late again because the internet so damn distracting. Weak excuse I know. I just can’t be tamed, creativity killed her. “Sorry I’m late guys, it was the internet!!” Going to Scott Pilgrim vs The World with a heap of people. Got tickets already. Hopefully some are already there. Movie is at 7:30. I you see me say HI. Today is also Friday the 13th, explains how the shewolf in my closet came out strike of midnight last night.  Owwwwwwwwwww owwwww! Tonight is tame time.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeee!

BTW, someone reminded me of this today. Ever seen it? 420 photos one train ride, no internet.

your green eyed monster is showing and it looks lousy

“Funny..because in the word “Jealousy”, there’s lousy. I think the reason why some people get jealous is because they’re not content or they want to experience what you experienced. Jealousy is when you get jealous because s/he went to this awesome place, it’s when s/he has a freakin amazing cool better version gadget, it’s when you wish you have what they have, it’s when you cry over your mommy or daddy because your friend has an ice cream and you don’t, it’s when the guy/girl in your dreams love someone else, it’s when blah blah blah. I think you get it. It’s sounds so silly, isn’t it? But you know it’s all true. I think being jealous is normal but sometimes jealousy can turn into madness that turns into an obsession that turns into “I’m fucked.” via walrusowl on tumblr

Recently I saw someone acting out of what can only be explained as jealousy. I’d heard a few things she’s said then she threw a couple jabs here and there and I was “wtf is up, I thought we were friends”.  The most disappointing was the way she started acting, then after seemed to be nicey-nice again.  I don’t get it and I refuse to waste my time trying to understand. You live and learn I guess.

We’ve all seen Mean Girls and we all remember highschool when girls act mean just because you’re doing well. What I don’t get, is how people don’t relize that negative thoughts and feelings become things and in the end  you are only hurting yourself making yourself look stupid. I really wanna send those people a GET WELL SOON card.

I LOVE seeing people around me do well. I tell my friends to call me when something exciting happens, I say “you can always brag to me“. I’m inspired by the people around me, that’s part of the reasons we’re friends in the first place. Duh! You can email me something awesome anytime, I’ll respond. Sometimes it’s hard to share with friends cause you know they wont be as happy for you as your Mum would. I will.

I had so much fun working/partying with the girls this weekend. It was refreshing to be around four babes that blog and tweet like you do, we all ‘get it’. It was never rude to be tweeting or texting while talking and there was the sound of a camera every few mins. I loved it.

I’m stoked for our next blondevoyage. Until then, rock on and have an awesome day.

The World’s Largest Wakeboarding Festival

I am so excited. However, I am sure that does not surprise you.  Haven’t had a weekend away with a bunch of girls in years. We’re staying at the Mountain Springs Resort (with the bands I believe), have a driver, back stage passes, media all access, Zeugari swimwear, and more good stuff we don’t even know about yet. Holyshitballs. This could be trouble.

We’ll all be blogging (obviously) and we’ll have heaps of pix and all that good stuff. If there is anything you wanna see, or see us do or us to meet/interview. Lemme know cause I’ve never been to Wakestock before.

Have an awesome day. The weather is BEAUTY!!

THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS PEOPLE.

I tried to pull myself away from the computer, thinking I need a damn break. I was feeling all meh. I played Sims Miami party on Nintendo DS in bed, attempted to sketch book, played with phone, paced around, tried not to snack. I found myself back at the computer again and again and that’s where I started putting out good vibes.

Do you know what happened next? THEY CAME BACK. A whole slew of good stuff happened today and it flipped my shit mood right on it’s damn stupid head. THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS PEOPLE. Like attracts like. I am so happy right now everytime I get nervous that ‘maybe I can’t do it’ or ‘how the heck is this gonna work’ I remind myself that I can and I will. I finally have the freedom to work on exactly what projects I want, with whom and when. I have dreamed of this and I will not let you down, I will not let me ME down.

I close my eyes, cover them with my hands and repeat “this is my life, this is my life“.

I got VIP tickets to Metric tonight outta the blue from my gonna-meet-tonight-first-time-new-friend from my home town.  Oh internet, I love you so. I love this song too. Playin’ on repeat.

good morning, good morning and how are you today?

Oh man so beauty out there today. Woke up earls and jumped on my new cruiser for a ride in the sunshine by the lake. Riding is so much more free than walking. Faster, wind in your hair. I rode alonside the lake lazily dreaming about traveling, writing and where the path will take me, the road less travelled that is.

Love and miss you Mum. Enjoy sailing today. I think of her everytime I see the boats chilling.

All this week’s plans are in a schedule so I make sure I maximize my time. Today I’ve got a dinner for Marc (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), inerview for a Uni newspaper and family friend coming to visit this AM. Her name is Pat and she was like a second Mum to me growing up. I thank her for my love of designer clothes and outgoing style. She was always dressed so elegant and stylish. I would love to raid her closet and see what jem’s she’s still got kicking around. I’m gonna ask her today for sure hehe.

Put my old basked on my new bike last night. Got my hands all dirty playing with tools. Reminded me of working in the garage with Dad as a kid. I loved that.

Pretty stoked about Wakestock this weekend. We’re still  looking for accomodation, if you can help PLEASE TELL ME NOW! We’re open to hotel, cottage, RV, B&B anything that isn’t camping really. We need to get al dolled up pretty so no bathroom = no fun.

Ok, man I gotta run. Pat’s gonna be here soon with Nicole and I’ve not showered or cleaned up the place. Oh, INTERNET, You are so distracting! I just can’t seem to quit you my love.

Have an awesome day peeps :)

I’m a lucky girl to have you in my life.

Night time creepout at Ireland Park.

Not as scary in the day…

The white marks in the rock that came all the way from Ireland are oyster shells. Pretty & neat, saw the heart, thought of Mum sailing the seas. In the night the statue had loonies and quarters but the next day, the money was all gone. I would have never taken it. Bad karma.

Here’s the story: Ireland Park honours the Irish immigrants  who fled during the amine of 1847. 38,000 of them arrived here that summer,  at that time our city had about 20,000 living here. Wow, my blog is so educational!

Saw this pretty thing too and thought it was a lucky day. Little did I know JUST how lucky it would be…

Hung out with Keri and caught up on recent happenings. Love her. Shoutout to Team Boston from us both!!

Caught up with Raymi later and she is letting me use her old bike! Yahoooooooooo. Check out this PYT I’ll be riding ’round town.

Thanks RAYMI!! ILU.

I’m so freaking happy to be riding again. I felt so FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE cruising home. Ahhh, the wind in my hair, the open road.  I’m home again. Remember how much I rode my old bike last summer? Stoked to take her out for a ride tomorrow AM. I think we look really good together, you could say I’m now in a relationship .

there’s no room for debby downer here ok, sunshine

I played in the sprinklers at the park and IT WAS AWESOME. I will never be too old (too boring) to play in leaves, snow, sprinklers or dance in the rain. I LIVE for those moments.

Like seriously, does this not look like fun?

Ok, how about this?

I didn’t plan to get soaked in the hot hot sun but it felt awesome. Totally gonna hit that spot up as much as I can this month.

Hung out with some babes too, Sabrina & Sadie. Hot bitches. Love when Sabrina plays ‘dog sitter’. We get to have a dog and then give it back hassle free. It’s the best. Kinda like babysitting a child, although, I’m so glad Sabrina does the babysitting. I’m not really into kids that much right now TBH.

I love this dog. She’s the cutest pup ever. Well behaved, doesn’t bark, plays nice. I’m not huge on animals, I don’t like when they shed, touch your stuff, slobber and need attention all the time.  Of them all, Boxers are deff my favourite.

I guess the better thing to say is I’m not much of a ‘pet’ person. I like when pets have good manners, I like people with good manners too. Sadie stood right on me as I was laying in the water. It was so cute & funny. True love.

Enjoy the day lovelies. I love this song by Baz Luhrman, inspiring and insightful. If you’ve never heard it, I’m so happy you are finally going to. Remember to wear sunscreen! xo
