This week I got these darling little earings from Charity Diamonds. They’re 10k gold studs covered with Swarovski crystals and come in a bunch of colours. I chose black, cute eh? Charity Diamonds a Canadian jewelry company that sells conflict free jewelry and donates 50% of it’s proceeds to charity. Pretty rad considering diamonds are a girls best friend and giving to charity makes it that much better. Lucky for YOU they are giving away a couple pairs of Swarovski crystal Firecracker earrings ($79) before Valentine’s day. To enter: Tweet @sparkleforlife & hashtag #CharityDiamonds with the color you want to win! Shine on my friends! Still in love with this song BTW…

The Have a Heart Auction is on Feb. 10th and I need something special to wear. I’m doing Rogers Daytime TV that day too.  I like this style of dress, has to be short and cute. Emma Stone is such a babe. I was looking for an image of the outfit Carrie Bradshaw was wearing on the cover of her book. Remember the cute black blazer w/ mini skirt one & she had her laptop in her hand? Thanks Google. This is pretty cute though. DO NOT WANT THIS. Gah. OR THIS, OMG. …actually OMFG. I found so many photos like this. Look, it’s me errry day 24/7/365.25. If anyone out there wants to connect me to someone who would like to dress me for the  Heart & Stroke auction (or anything!) send an email to casie at casiestewart.com. Let’s hope mama rings in the big bux for charity. Imma go to the gym now. ILU Byeeeeeeeee!

Oh Ken, You shouldn’t have! “I can’t stop thinking about you. … Every girl wants to be like you because of your adventurous spirit. “ “No other doll can hold a candle to your fashion sense, and I can’t think of anyone else I prefer to stand beside.” “This October I was on the lookout for you at Toronto Fashion Week with my Kentourage, but you were nowhere to be found. “ “I’ll do whatever it takes to win you back.” I won’t give up until you give me another chance. Barbie, we may be plastic but our love is real.” Rose is real too! Here’s the best part… I was tickled pink when I got this package today. Still smiling. It’s so creative and fun. Love, love, love it. I bet it was so fun putting this together! I’m a big fan of Barbie (as you know) and I’m also a huge fan of what is what Mattel is doing with Barbie & Ken online. @barbiestyle & @officialken are active on Twitter and they both have Facebook and Foursquare here & here. I googled “Kentourage” and found out that Ken is REALLY asking Barbie to get back together. There’s an event coming up Feb. 8th at the Eaton Centre and barbieandken.com has this on it: There’s also a show on Hulu hosted by Whitney Port called Genuine Ken that I didn’t know about either. I like the idea of them togetether, Sweet Talkin’ Ken & Barbie Video Girl. I hope I find my very own Ken. Maybe he will be the is the highest bidder in the auction on Feb. 10th. Thank you Amanda for sending. You made my day 🙂

I’m in a charity auction for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. There are 20 people in the whole auction.  I have no idea who the other girls are but, I do know you will be able to bid on bloggers  Zach Bussey & Dan Levy and young darling Brock McLaughlin. Maybe I will find a date myself? Remember when Scar Jo sold a date on e-bay for charity? That was kinda hot, wonder how much she went for? Oh y’know, about $40,000 USD! Let’s hope I break $100. The event is hosted by Ally & Dani from the Girls of TO blog and all proceeds to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. See the press release here. I was on a skipping team for the H&S when I was in Primary school so when they asked, I totally said yes. I’m nervous but mostly about what I am going to wear. Ah! Highest male & female bidders from the audience get Nella Bella bag (my fav!) and a $100 bar tab covered by Sleeman Brewery. Let’s hope someone is sharng that with me at the end of the night ok 😉 Date:February 10, 2011. Doors  8PM. Location: The Hideout, 484 Queen Street West Cost: $5 at the door Bidding begins at $25 It’s the Thursday night before GenYTO during Social Media Week. Good thing I’ve been hittin’ the gym lately. *covers eyes with hands* OMG. OMG.

the only blue is the sky above cause we’re covered in sunshine here and here Who leaves those big footprints? I wish I could walk on water. I should go to the island soon. I was thinking I missed the beach and the sunshine so I went to the urban beach, sat in a muskoka chair and felt the sun on my face. I kicked around some snow, found the sand below and even only if for a minute, I was reminded of summer. Did you know there’s actually a formula for ‘why’ today is the ‘ most depressing day of the year‘. Crazy talk. I always thought it was some time in February but maybe that’s high suicide day or something. According to a press release by a mental health charity, the formula is: where weather=W, debt=d, time since Christmas=T, time since failing our new year’s resolutions=Q, low motivational levels=M and the feeling of a need to take action=Na. ‘D’ is not defined in the release, nor are units. DON’T LET THE WINTER GET YOU DOWN EH! Have fun with it. Go exploring But dress warm. Nobody likes a whiner. You never know what you might find.  Hopefully it’s beauty in something 🙂 Hey, Red row boat your cuzzy Red Canoe is my neighbour. You look chilly sitting there. Read this nice article in the Toronto Star that is part of an essay called Lessons Travel Has Taught Me by Arthur Frommer. Thought it was worth sharing with you. It was a nice read, these are the main things travel has taught him: We are all alike. We are responsible for one another. There is no single solution for human problems. All people should be “minorities”. Travel keeps us young. Travel teaches us humility, the best human trait. In…

It is SO BEAUTIFUL outside today. Can you believe it is ROctober and 19 dregees! Gah. It’s gonna be 21 tomorrow. This is gonna be an awesome weekend! I’m going to a clothing swap on Saturday. I’ve got a massive travel bag of clothes I pulled from my closet. If I’ve not worn it and it’s not vintage or seasonal, it’s GONE! The mass piles in my room are shameful. I feel to good to be giving them away, all the leftover clothes to to a charity organization. On Sunday I’m this week’s guest on the Social Media Show on Perpetual Radio with Karim Kanji. We’re gonna be talking about New Twitter, the Virgin Contest and a few other exciting things. On Monday I’m filming a video with My City Lives about my favourite park in the city. So many exciting things happening!! I love you Toronto! Tomorrow is the day Virgin America picks the Provocateur. I’ve been leading the whole competition and have more votes, youube views, FB friends, Twitter followers and blog readers then my competition. He’s a nice guy but I rekon I’m exactly what Virgin America & Richard Branson are looking for! Thank you all for being such good sports and rooting for me this whole time. It’s been going since JULY! I make a great Virgin Girl, eh? Hope you all have an awesome day. If you can, go outside and enjoy the sun. Nothing like that warm glow on your face!
