Watch Me Tablescape It on The Design Network!

A couple weeks ago I was on set with Sarah Glynn to film an episode of Tablescape It, her new show on The Design Network.  We took a wooden tray with industrial handles from my place and incorporated it in a chic bar setup for an upcoming shindig at my place. S1 E1 Designer Sarah Glynn has a mission: to create an industrial-chic bar for lifestyle blogger Casie Stewart, who is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of her blog. Sarah finds inspiration in a rustic wood tray that’s special to Casie, setting up a one-of-a-kind bar complete with vintage bar cart, a DIY light installation and playful accents to help get the party started.

April Showers, Blue Skies, Gray Eyes

Notice a difference? I tried out a new pair of Air Optix Color contacts in Gray. I’ve had a fun time trying all the different colours the last few months. I love changing my look, depending on how long you’ve been reading I’ve had a ton of hair styles, different hair colours, and fashions.  Lots of different styles. The contacts last 30 days and are a-ok for daily wear. Here’s a few of the colours in the Subtle collections. There’s also a line of Vibrant colours you can check out at airoptixcolors.ca. At first I was a real rookie at putting them in and taking them out but now I’ve got it down to a science. I’ve also found them to be comfortable in that, once I get them in, I can wear them all day without bothering my eyes. This was new to me as I’ve never been a contacts wearer.  They’re light and breathable while enhanceing your natural eye colour. Air Optix Colors are the only contact lenses designed with 3-in-1 colour technology to help you look and feel your best. Mine are non-prescription but they’re available with prescription, so if you ever want to change up your look, or your regular contacts, ask your eye doctor. New gray couches arrived at the office the same day I was wearing these. Coincidence? My eyes are usually bright hazel/green so this is quite a difference. They look quite nice when the sun shines in them but not too drastic of a difference to make me look like a cartoon. Check out my other adventures with Air Optix Colors by visiting this LINK where you can scroll through Brilliant Blue, Gemstone Green, Sterling Gray, and Honey eyes. Next I’m trying Blue and Brown. I wonder if I’ll look more like my sister with Brown eyes?…

Something Blue Photobooth w/ Becca Lemire

Spring? It’s me Casie, are you there? JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS FOR SHOWING UP THIS WEEKEND! The other day, actually the one where is SNOWED just over a week ago, Becca had a photobooth at her studio. She’s started a new biz doing photobooths and she’s really great at them. I’ve had her take my photo 100+ times the last few years. Sean was’s AS into dressing up with props as me but I managed to get him in a couple photos and wearing these shades. Macho Man Randy Savage? Nerds. Cute though. Haha. We had been binge watching Netflix ALL day and peeled ourselves off the couch to stop by Pineapple Studios.   I’m SO glad we’re finally getting some warmer weather. Aren’t you? Bring on spring! XO CASIE

Shooting w/ NKPR, My Fav Shirt, Periscope from a Church

Last week I was on set for a day with MD Media and NKPR for an exciting TV project we’ve been working on. My first shoot day was about 2 weeks ago, remember I was on set with Tim Warmels (The Bachelor) here. This is one of my most fav shirts, picked it up at Philistine Toronto, Queen West last summer. We used a few of my things as props, beloved Ted Baker London makeup bad and Dermalogica products. I absolutely love their tinted moisturizer with SPF. It’s perfect for summer when you don’t have to wear as much makeup. The long thin tube is a tinted primer with SPF that’s great as well. I love being on camera! Those bright lights on the face feel so great. Been wearing these glasses heaps lately. They’re another steal from Polette Eyewear in France. Polette was started by a young entrepreneur, Pierre Wizman, who decided to quit school and build his first company at the age of 16. He wanted to make affordable, yet stylish eyewear available for all. Check out all the rad styles at polette.com. We were at a church so decided to snoop around. And they did a live periscope from inside. It was kinda fun. Hey Tory! It was raining that day but I’m totally ready for any showers that come my way with my bright red Stutterhein jacket. I love this thing! Here’s to a great week filled with sunshine and positivity! Sending some your way 🙂 <3 CASIE

What’s your fav room in the house??? #housie

In my latest little project with TD Canada I’ve joined them in celebrating the places we live. Whether it’s your first place or a fresh start somewhere new, there’s always one room in the house you like the most. In my last place I loved the living room, remember this view overlooking Lake Ontario and downtown Toronto? I spent hours staring out those windows. TD Canada is encouraging people to share their fav room in the house with a #housie, a 360-degree video selfie of your home. My fav room in our house is the roof top patio. Last summer I had a lovely garden up there and spruced up the place with some new furniture. My TD Canada #housie A video posted by C A S I E S T E W A R T (@casiestewart) on Apr 6, 2015 at 9:11am PDT How to create your own – I’m sure you know! Love to see your fav room in the house and how you celebrate your home. I need to celebrate today by doing some cleaning! Once uploaded to Twitter or Instagram your vid will be added to the others on tdhousie.com. <3 CASIE

Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’

Spring, spring, I am so ready for you. We’re finally getting some nice sunshine the next few days and I can’t wait. This has been the longest winter ever and it’s been getting me down. Just yesterday I started feeling a true sign of spring, allergies! My eyes are kinda itchy so I’m trying hard to not make it worse. Have a bunch of spring cleaning to do around the house. I feel like no matter how much I clean up there’s always more to do! That being said, I do sometimes enjoy vacuuming. It is so important to stay on top of any dust in your home as this can trigger allergies! One of my friends recently purchased a new vacuum after reading this guide to the best hoover for pets hair. She has a couple of dogs and as lovely as they are, their hair can be difficult to clean up sometimes so it is important to find cleaning equipment that has been specially designed for this purpose! Popped out for a nice walk down Roncy this week. I live so close but always forget to spend time there. Love how Lit Espresso makes latte art. Always puts a smile on my face. 🙂 I’m dying to get back on a bike and tour the city. Anyone have one of these kicking around? I’m not sure if I should get a new bike or buy a used one. My old Linus Dutch bike (RIP) was so lovely but also expensive, I don’t think I can bear to go through losing another like that. Title of this post is a great quote my the one and only late Robin Williams from BrainyQuote. Loved that man. Truly felt heartbroken when he passes away. Channeling his great energy today and getting…

Here’s a Cheer Up For This Gloomy Day

It’s only Wednesday and I feel like it could be Friday any minute. This week has been a busy one. Last night I was a judge on Pet Skills, the only live  and interactive pet show on the internet. It was pretty fun. One of the dogs, Jessie is a YouTube star. Congrats 2 last nights winner Jesse the Jack who won the ppls final vote! So much talent and cuteness! Ah #petskills pic.twitter.com/hCTMco4apN — Pet Skills (@petskills) April 8, 2015 Today I’m on set for the afternoon shooting a different show w/ Barking Frog Productions. Same one I was on set for 2 weeks ago with Natasha (NKPR) and Tim Warmels (Bachelor Canada). A photo posted by Natasha Koifman (@natashankpr) on Mar 23, 2015 at 6:11pm PDT I’ve shared this video a few times and forgot about it until this week when I felt I could use a cheer up. It was picked up by Maxwell House a few years ago and turned in to a commercial. Here’s the original vid of Jessica’s Affirmation, you’ll love it. She’s the cutest. Sending you sunshine across the Internet. I can’t believe it’s not feeling like spring yet! Urgh. <3 CASIE

You CAN sit with us.

Was back in the studio with my Wednesday night crew yesterday. We had so much fun! I can’t believe how close we’ve all come the last couple months. One of the coolest things about the spring session is a few new additions including my sister, and Fran who I used to work with. Our theme this round is THROWBACK and we’re dancing to some amazing old jams from the 80’s and 90’s. Think MJ, Janet, TLC etc. Huge props to the fearless and fabulous Carla Catherwood, founder of Army of Sass. She started it with 12 girls and there’s now over 300 across Canada. Dancing again has really uplifted my spirits and given me something fun to look forward to each week. Also, the girls are so much fun, love them all! Here’s to a great long weekend. Get out and make the best of this warmer weather. I’m heading to Neil Diamond tonight at ACC w/ Sean. With love, CASIE

Uh-huh honey: Converse #MadebyYou + Honey Eyes  

About a week ago I attended a private dinner with some of Converse’s NY team and top ranked influencers in Toronto. We sat down at the Gladstone Hotel to learn about the latest #MadebyYou campaign from Converse and few other treats. I recently picked up a few new pairs of Air Optix Color contacts from Toronto Eyecare. We were talking about other colours available and I mentioned I’d love to give them a try, so VOILA! These ones are Honey and make my eyes look light brown in the sun. My natural eyes are hazel so there’s a slight difference. See all the colours at airoptix.ca. Met up with my sister for a late lunch before the Converse dinner. She’s really so lovely. Follow her on Twitter or Instagram @jeniestewart. Got the new HISY Selfie bluetooth remote recently. It’s a little black button that connects to your phone via Bluetooth and allows you to take snaps by touching the remote. It’s at the Apple store for $28+tax but you can get it on Amazon here. Love that sunshine on my face.  It’s always fun to look at my eyes as a different colour. These honey ones are a subtle difference. I reckon they’d look really neat on greener eyes and interested to see what they do to blue ones. My latest and greatest Converse from the Andy Warhol Collection. Tomato Soup wasn’t available in my size at the time but I was sent a pair of Black Bean Soup and I love them. Nice to sit beside my old friend Jalani. He’s a great photographer and person, you can find him online at jalanimorgan.com or @JalaniMorgan on Twitter. We were all asked to customize a pair of Converse with our name. This pair is one of a kind and made by me. They’re actually…

My Bloggy Lies Over the Ocean

Oh hey, guess who? It’s me your friend from across the internet. Working away at the computer most the day. Monday is my ‘don’t leave the house and write as much as you can’ day. Spend a bunch of time sitting on the couch with my Macbook yesterday but fell into scrolling things on the phone, deep into a Netflix binge and did nothing from my To Do list. I find the weekends are really important for me to chill out. I used to blog every single day and it was really draining. Now, I aim for 5 posts per week and if I feel inspired to write a few more, good for me. The more documenting the better. Today when I did leave the house I was at Lit Espresso bar on Roncy and the staff were trying to name one of the girl’s blog. A staffer guy said ‘My Bloggy Lies Over the Ocean’ and I thought it was so funny, got totally distracted paying for my sweet treat. Title today inspired by that guy, good one buddy! These are my latest glasses from Polette Eyewear in France. I really love them, they sit high on the face and the thin frame is different than any other glasses I have. L’usine à lunettes by polette offers highly-competitive prices, no compromise on the quality. Frames from $9.99 to $49.99 and lenses from $9.99 to $89.99. I love that they have HEAPS of different selections. They’ve just launched E-Pollette, lenses that protect your eyes from screens. SO SMART. Ordering those next.
