SUMMER: @PepsiCanada taste challenge, #freebeer, patios!

This is the big rig that will be travelling across the country seeing millions of people go through the Ultimate Pepsi Taste Challenge. It converts from a truck to a full on Pepsi station to hang out in. They call it “Poptimus Prime“. This time last year I was hosting my own little Pepsi party for Pepsi Throwback. I’m sure you remember THIS: The team has a whole bunch of stuff planned and there’s a good chance you’ll run into their young energetic group assembled with people from across Canada. This is a full 360 of what I saw at the media preview taken from iPhone. You’ll notice they’re really using technology to make the ol’ taste test we knew as kid, super modern. Check out their Facebook/PepsiCanada for when & when to catch ‘Poptimus Prime’ and the @PepsiCanada team. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR! Hey look, Shannon was on the board as I was AT the challenge! TALK ABOUT SOCIAL! In the afternoon I caught the Bud Light Mojito truck giving out free beers. Rumour has it they will be around MuchMusic all month and near King Spadina. Two drinks, perfect for afternoon stop in the park. When you are on the go 25/8/366 you are likely to run out of iPhone battery. Bobcat from Boston sent me this rad charger for my birthday. Charge at home, keep in purse for on the go. It gives you about two hours talk time. Essential for beach party, park chilling and boat rides. Made by Brookstone. Next stop was William’s Landing in Liberty Village for the launch of Somersby Cider by Carlsberg. This is the Carlsberg man John Porter. Cute accent! Sat in the sun with the lovely Carla Catherwood and Cory Lee. I’m not much of a cider girl but surprisingly, it…

Close your eyes, take it all in.

Boat. Sun. Lake. Coffee, canoe, kayak. Water sounds. Bacon smells. Birds chirping. Blue skies. Trees, talking in the distance. Refreshing. Relaxed. Warm. Happy Monday! Back to the city tonight, concrete jungle, castle in the sky. Make the most of the day, it’s beautiful out! <3 CASIE

Exciting week just passed and I am SO ready for a getaway! Tomorrow I’m scooting up north to the countryside with Barbie to a friends cottage. Give me nature, lake, silence and sunshine. YES PLEASE.

Step into Spring Style with @Sherway_Gardens

Spring is my fav time of year, there’s nothing like flowers, fresh cut grass, and  fashion. I love digging out the box of summer dresses, rompers, and shorts that hide under my bed most the year. I’ve partnered with Sherway Gardens to share my favourite spring trends and help style up a lucky person like you. Here’s three of my favourite trends this season. Contest entry details below! SPRING STYLE: Sheer – I’ve been picking up sheer items since my last trip to New Zealand for fashion week. Long skirts, drapey blouses, sleeveless shirts and anything that flows nicely in the wind. I love the way something sheer has a certain innocence while being slightly sexy. Look for lots of bright colours & prints and have at least one skirt in rotation. You’ll find a great selection of sheer tops & bottoms at American Apparel. They have the maxi skirt in a selection of shades. Short Shorts – I’m a big fan of short shorts because they’re fun to wear and make your legs look long when you throw on some heels.  My tip is to make sure you don’t buy them too small, try the next size up when you’re shopping. You want to be cool & comfortable not stuffed in! I got a great pair of denim cutoffs from Victoria Secret. When you’re at Sherway Gadens try VS and American Eagle. AE has a ton of styles including drawstring and white denim. White Lace/Chrochet – Did you notice this trend at Coachella or SXSW?  I’ve got my eye out for a cutesie white crochet number. I’ve seen this on Pinterest in  collars, bathers, blazers, tank tops and platforms. Chill out, it’s the 70’s! You’ll find this look at Guess or Costa Blanca.

These Moments Are the Only Gifts We Need

Get up, put on your shoes and go outside. Hit the pavemet. Feel the sunshine. Soak it up. Let your mind wander. Sing. Smile at strangers. Breathe, let go. Be productive. Work hard. Drink water. Give thanks. Be positive. Relax. Rinse, repeat. This is what I call productivity, Ultrabook, Macbook, iPhone, coffee. Huzzahhh! Having my hair done this afternoon then heading to a talk for 6pm. I send you light my friends, have an awesome day! ♥ CASIE
