Thomas Sabo SS13 Launch at The Shard, London, UK

On December 5th I went to the SS 2013 launch of Thomas Sabo. It was at the Shard London, UK. There had NEVER been an event there and it doesn’t open to the public until FEBRUARY 2013. Amazing experience to be one of the first Canadians in the building and post the first Instagram’s checkins OF LIFE. Ermahgerd. I got to meet Thomas Sabo himself and the new brand ambassadors Poppy Delevingne and David Garrett. Poppy was lovely and energetic with an accent I wish I could borrow. David is an American/German, violin playing, bad boy with long hair, great style, and a beard.  Both total babes. There were a pile of celebrities there including including Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg, Jade Jagger, British Pop group Sugababes and Ellie Goulding. The new GOLDEN SILVER line is all about tri-colour matching Sterling silver, rose gold and yellow gold. I wore that gorgesous dress from Ted Baker London, with a Ted’s purse, vintage jacket, Top Shop tights, Thomas Sabo jewellery, and Jeffrey Campbell shoes. It was so much fun. Here’s a little recap of my night! Makin’ history…

Thomas Sabo – UK Trip Day 2 Photo Diary

Took it easy and got a good sleep on Day 1. Tuesday was a busy day one with the big launch event and I wanted to be well rested. Here’s a recap of the day, tour of my hotel suite, and my downtown shopping adventures. It was a blast to hand out with Truc from Flare Canada and Lindsay from Faulhaber Communications. We represented Canada well! Welcome to my room… This old bath was lovely and the bed was MASSIVE. So relaxing. Woke up to a delivery of Thomas Sabo goodies! Started the day with a tea. When in Rome!

Thomas Sabo – UK Trip Day 3 Photo Diary

My third day in London was very short. Most of it was spent in traffic and at the airport. Had a lovely English breakfast at the hotel before my driver arrived. Luckily, there was a bunch of empty seats on my flight to Montreal so I was able to take a whole row and sleep! I needed it! Soon as I arrived in Montreal I has to get to hotel and change for the Tia Maria Room event with Community. It was hectic but I loved every minute of it. Huge thank you again to Thomas Sabo and Faulhaber Communications for this adventure. It was inspiring and exciting. Check out the Thomas Sabo shop next time you are in Yorkville. My fav collections are Rebel at Heart and the new stuff for SS 2013!

Thomas Sabo UK Trip – Day 1 Photo Diary

On December 4th I went to London, UK with Thomas Sabo and Faulhaber Communications for the launch of Thomas Sabo Spring Summer 2013 collection. I have wanted to to to England for so long. Although only a short trip, it was awesome to travel in style, and attend the launch event with media from 18 countries. This is the first post of four documenting three days in London and a the first event in history at The Shard (brand new tallest building in the whole EU!). Check out Thomas Sabo at thomassabo.com. Huge thank you to Faulhaber Communications, Lindsay, Thomas Sabo and the entire company for taking me on this journey.  And Le Meridian Picadilly for a great stay! Here we go… Good morning London! CAT Footwear boots, Brandy Mellville shirt, Puma scarf Driver! UK has big money. I left Canada the day the Kate Middleton pregnancy was announced. Hotel was beautiful.

12:12, 12/12/12, make a wish!

I remember back in high school my math teacher would always inform us if there was a day that had a unique number significance. That stayed with my and today is one of those days! Today, Dec. 12, 2012 is an auspicious day and there’s no real term for these days because they are so rare but the next time the day, month and year all match will be Jan. 1, 2101. So today at 12:12, 12/12/12, make a wish! I curled my hair as a test for Friday’s show and added some colour. Love! Also updated to the new WordPress and it’s pretty! Have an awesome day 🙂 <3 CASIE

In my opinion, we can live without Instagram.

I wrote about the new Twitter and changes to Instagram sharing on the company blog. Would love your comments there about all these changes to our fav photo sharing apps! Read it here.

You think YOU have #FirstWorldProblems? Think again.

We are all guilty of it, taking things for granted because of the amazing lives we have and forgetting that millions of people in the world have much less than we do. About a year ago, my Mum returned from a one year sailing expedition to the Bahamas. They spent and entire year living on the boat sailing to the Bahamas from Ontario and back. One of the things I remember Mum saying once she returned to work, despite missing her sailing life, was “But CASIE, we have FRESH RUNNING WATER!“. I always remind myself of that moment when I’m about to complain that my XBOX isn’t connecting to the TV, or my wifi going down, or a chipped nail, or my iPhone app crashing, or when they don’t have my fav soup at the coffee shop that day. These aren’t REAL problems! My friends at Me to We are all about living the change and making the world a better place. Craig Kielburger and his brother Marc has written a book called My Grandma Follows Me on Twitter: And Other First World Problems We’re Lucky to Have. Below are some of excerpts from the book: Me to We have an awesome collection of gifts for the holidays. Check out the Artisans collection for jewellery made by women in Africa. There’s a TON of stocking stuffers with IMPACT. Don’t just give meaningless gifts this season, give gifts that help spread positive messages. For You from Me to We I have a few books that I would love to put a note in and send to you for the holidays. Leave a comment with your worst FirstWorldProblems or Tweet me. I’ll pick winners by the end of the week so I can send them off to you in the mail. Tweet to @CasieStewart Happy Holidays from…

And recharge…

Remember how I said I was exhausted? Went to bed at 7pm last night. Feeling pretty good this morning and looking forward to being back at the office tomorrow. Starting the day with a relaxing soak at the Sky Lounge, one of my fav things about living here. Back was hurting a bit so should feel better after this. Will be wearing my Lazy Pants all day. Listening to A Very She and Him Christmas album on Rdio and have the place to myself. I love this time of year! Enjoy the day! ♥ CASIE

The weather today fits perfectly with my plans of lazing on the couch catching up on this week’s Young & the Restless. After a long and exciting week of London, Montreal, and a taking the stage last at the night, I am completely exhausted. Hope you are doing something relaxing today too. Any good movie recos?
