Cute Little Thanksgiving Weekend!

This past weekend was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and it was such a nice one. I kept things pretty chill, spent time with friends, and soaked up the fall vibes. On Friday night, I stayed in, relaxed, and ended up booking a trip. I’m going to Milwaukee! It’ll be my first time there, and I’m so excited to explore somewhere new. On Saturday, I went to an arm wrestling competition (I know, random?!) at Henderson Brewery. Look at those pipes! It was definitely entertaining. In the evening, we went to the Danger Cats comedy show with a few friends. It was sooooooo funny. 😂 I had Thanksgiving dinner at Michelle’s mom’s house on Sunday, something I’ve done a couple of times before. It’s always warm, welcoming, and full of delicious food. Then on Monday, I wrapped up the long weekend with a few walks, tidied up around the house, and watched the Blue Jays game with my friend Lorilynn. GO JAYS GO! Let’s hope they make it to the World Series! ⚾💙 I’m feeling grateful for friends, laughter, cozy meals, and the adventures to come!

Light Layers & Fall Looks + adidas outfit!

I love how warm it’s been lately, but the cooler nights have me thinking about all about fall! I am 100% a summer girl, but switching things up and starting to layer with light jackets and different fabrics is always so fun. There’s no bad weather if you have a good outfit!  I haven’t been shopping much lately, but I was sent a gift card in collaboration with adidas, so I used that opportunity to pick up some new stuff for fall. I got a new pair of adidas leggings and found the CUTEST OUTFIT ever in the kids section. 😂  LOOK AT THIS SET. I can’t wait for it to arrive. Sometimes the best finds are in the kids’ section! I love this outfit so much! I also picked up the Samba – Jane shoes that are just too cute! I feel like they will look great with just about anything and even tights in the winter.  One of my favourite workout items are these adidas leggings, they fit great and wash so well. Whether I’m walking around Queen West, rolling out my yoga mat, or working from home, they’re perfect. The adidas women’s leggings collection offers a wide range of options designed for movement, comfort, and, of course, style. Here’s what makes them stand out: Exercise & Mental Health Over the past few years, fitness has become an essential part of my self-care routine. It’s not just about staying active, it’s about how moving my body makes me feel. Even short workouts make a massive difference in my energy and mindset. I aim for a minimum of 10,000 steps every day and try to fit in at least 20 minutes of exercise. I find fitness GREATLY improves my mood. It’s proof that exercise is just as much for your…

Welcome to the Block – Small Talk Jazz!

Last night, I popped around the corner to celebrate the opening of Small Talk, Ossington’s brand-new jazz bar and let me tell you, it’s gorgeous. The space was buzzing with besties, great energy, and some seriously chic Toronto style. Hi Jen & my new friend Ann! It was nice to see friends, get dressed up, and sip something fancy. I took my new friend Ann Lambert on our first friend date ever. It’s kinda crazy how we met, my friend Ryan was in Dublin and saw her do karaoke and was like ‘OMG YOU ARE JUST LIKE CASIE STEWART YOU NEED TO MEET HER’. He introduced us on Instagram, and when we met IRL, we were instant friends! The evening had everything you’d want from a night out: good music, great food, and a little sparkle of something new. A Few Highlights – Small Talk Jazz, Ossington Small Talk is open now at 110 Ossington Avenue, Thursday through Monday from 5 p.m. till late. If you’re looking for a spot that’s equal parts chic, cozy, and vibey, this is it. Can’t wait to go back for another martini, great snacks, and live music. Welcome to the block, Small Talk! 🥂 Photos by Nick Lee at @bestoftorontonet on follow on Instagram at @smalltalkjazz.

Hello! I Missed You! I Missed Blogging!

Well, hello there! It’s been a minute since I’ve updated here, my last post was back in JULY (!!). Since then, I’ve been on a little unintended blogging break, thanks to some behind-the-scenes website stuff. Long story short: I had to update my GoDaddy storage plan, and shortly after renewing, I got hit with a notice that my blog was suddenly over the storage limit. This blog has been my digital home for 20 years, 5,000+ posts, 20,000+ photos, some videos etc, she’s a thick site, haha, 💻✨ What followed was two months of back-and-forth with GoDaddy, running security checks, fiddling with firewalls, and trying to understand how my site had gotten so massive overnight. When it finally came time to “upgrade” to the plan I supposedly needed, it was SO EXPENSIVE. I thought there had to be a better way. So, I did what any blogger would do: I asked the internet. I posted on Threads to see what other bloggers were using, and the recommendations led me to Hostinger. 🙌 I made the move, and I’m so glad I did. I was able to get a solid plan for a couple of years at a much more reasonable cost (aka not a million dollars lol). 👉 If you’re looking for hosting, here’s my affiliate link to Hostinger. Now that the back end is sorted, I can finally get back to sharing life updates, stories, and little bits of sunshine. This summer has been a good one, lots of time with friends, long walks, lazy afternoons in the park, plenty of boat days, motorcycle rides, and endless sunshine. I’m heading into fall feeling happy, refreshed, and ready to write again. That’s it for now, feels good to be back. Thanks for sticking around, missed ya! 💖

Toronto Pride 2025

Last weekend, Toronto Pride took over the city, and Church Street was buzzing with love, colour, and joy! I headed over to Michelle’s house for some much-needed poolside time. Her place gets full sun all afternoon, and I’ve been hanging out there quite a bit this summer. It was such a gorgeous day! As soon as the sun started to move, we thought, why not take the dogs down to Church Street? We missed the actual parade (classic us 🤣), but honestly, the real party is always in the streets! Music was pumping, everyone was dancing, and somehow we ended up in a conga line with Marnie and Roger (the dogs!). Yes, a full-on doggo conga line. It was so funny. After soaking up the sun and good vibes, we strolled back to Michelle’s for snacks, a movie, and some chill time. The perfect Pride weekend, nothing too crazy. Toronto knows how to throw a party, and Pride is always one of the best. 💖 I’ve been going to Pride since I was 16, many moons ago! Check out some of my previous posts here; I’ve even been in the main parade a few times.
