#BacardiBestSeats: Digital Dreams w/ Bacardi 2013

#BacardiBestSeats: Digital Dreams w/ Bacardi 2013

This was fun. It was super busy! Seas of people wearing neon and bad outfits. I didn’t take my DSLR, thought it might rain. Street style would have been a real hoot. Nice to see Azari & III on the Echo Beach stage. Heaps of people who were total zombies by the end of the night. You won’t believe the vibration from the speakers backstage. Overall, awesome experience for first Digital Dreams. Cheers to Bacardi for a fun day! XO CASIE CASIE Posted from WordPress for Android on HTC One

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

I love love love this Color Bug product by  Kevin Murphy (Australia). I’ve been using it for a few months. Colour in, wash out. It works like a chalk on your hair and is a totally perfect perk up when you need to get your roots done! Works on all different hair shades and comes in a variety of colours including pink, orange, lime green, white, purple, and GOLD. This morning I was feeling Friday lazy, plus am about to go get my hair done tonight, so threw this in with a couple curls and VOILA. Stopped to snap a few photos with my new DSLR on the way to work. I’m looking to teach a Master Class in Self-Photography one day. Peace out peeps, hope you hae a killer Friday night. I’m heading for a drink with the girls from work, then hair appointment, and probably a wild night at home watching a movie with my love. Mum is coming to visit tomorrow and I’m so glad it’s a long weekend. Keep fit & have fun, <3 CASIE

Canon Blogtography – Step Outside of Auto!

Canon Blogtography – Step Outside of Auto!

A couple weeks ago I announced my partnership with Canon as a Brand Ambassador and over the past month  I’ve been playing around with my new DSLR. The Canon Rebel SL1 is a compact 18 mega pixel camera with touch screen and whole bunch of features I’m not quite versed in yet.  I have heaps to learn.  Canon has awesome resources and I’ve been playing on canonoutsideofauto.ca but the real way I’m going to learn is TAKING PHOTOS. I’m just getting used to using a DSLR. I’ve got a pretty good eye for composing a nice shot but right now aperture and ISO feel like new languages. Once I  learn and understand exposure (ISO, shutter speed and aperture), I’ll be in business. I know it won’t take too long! I’ve been playing around with ISO and exposure. It’s super neat how one photo can be so different by changing just one or two things. This little Rebel has built in filters too. So, naturally I took a few selfies in the park to test them out. This weekend I’m shooting Digital Dreams music festival and in August I’ll be shooting Disneyland and California! Staring in next month have a weekly fashion column for Dose.ca. This is where those Canon skills will really come into play. I’m excited to take my blog to the next level! Below are a few photos I took using (gasp) auto to get used to using the camera.  One of the most beautiful things, a perfect avocado! Limba the 50 year old elephant at Bowmanville Zoo. A baby giraffe peeks out his head at Bowmanville Zoo. I need to work on depth and focus. Flower pot at the cottage in Muskoka. The dock and boat at sunset in Muskoka. Gonna to practice camera settings in nature. Over the next couple months I’ll be…

Red Bull Solstice at Cabana Pool Bar

On Friday night before the cottage we ventured up to Cabana Pool Bar to celebrate the solstice with Red Bull.  Thanks to the lovely Becca Lemire for these snaps. I coloured them in Picasa and used makeagif.com to animate them. Sending you sunshine, heard it might rain again today. 🙂 <3 CASIE

These Flowers, For You

These Flowers, For You

Currently en route to the Thompson Hotel for a media lunch with Grey Goose (client) for the Cherry Noir. I’m working though so just food and photos, no dranks! This weather is so weird, in wearing a mixed up outfit of cutoff overalls and a poncho with Sperrys. These are for you. I picked them with my phone camera 🙂 My hair is in a pony today. It’s getting long. Finally getting my lashes done today w/ JJ Cowan and hair is Thursday at Evolve Studio. These are the most gnarly roots ever!

Tech | Heart on for Social TV and Data Visualization

Tech | Heart on for Social TV and Data Visualization

If you didn’t see this video on social TV from Twitter check it out. Pretty neat data visualization. I LOVE social TV. Something I’ve been really passionate about since working at a TV station a couple years ago. The magic of Twitter and TV fascinates me. I love real time communication, advertising, and interaction. I hope to work more in that space again one day. Last year at Banff World Media Festival, social TV was such a hot topic. Here’s my episode on Coral TV where I chat about upcoming trends, these are all relevant one year later! In other news, Vizify is a wicked way to visualize your social resume. Made this little ditty the other day. Cool eh! I made a movie of my twitter: vizify.com/casie-stewart/… What do you think?  #Vizify — CASIE STEWART (@casiestewart) June 13, 2013   Almost the weekend! HUZZAHHHHHHH! WEEEEE. CASIE

NXNE + MMVA 2013

NXNE + MMVA 2013

NXNE was fun except I got sick after and didn’t even go to that many shows. Didn’t do much of the MMVA either besides a few afternoon stops on Sunday. Wasn’t feelin’ it this year. Jackie my old friend, it was lovely to see you. The Red Bull patio is always a good time. It’s the spot above their super rad office on Queen Street.

You would think…

You would think…

… it was winter with the weather and how cold I have been for the last 24 hours. After a very busy two weeks my whole body said ‘NO’ do doing anything and I’m on sick day #2. I hate it.  There are heaps of things happening at work and not being there gives me the FOMO. There’s a bunch of events this week too but I can’t even begin to think about going anywhere. I am wrapped up in scarf, hat, Lazy Pants, warm socks, snuggie, and duvet. There’s a Ravi Soups around the corner, I wonder if they deliver? CASIE Posted from WordPress for Android on HTC One
