Fashion
Fashion events, shows, & style from around the world.
Models look prettier when they smile. Burroughes is good for parties, not as good for fashion shows. He did this pose for me and smiled right after. Eye contact. Glitter, Julio. I looked like a Nana. Vest knitted by a nana. Yannnnnnnnnnnno you giant, you totall missed Puma Social. Duh! Hi Tristan, nice hustle. Daniel and I worked together at Gap in Kitchener when I was 16. First job ever and to this day one of the very best. I made connections there that will last a LIFETIME. Work it gurllllllllll. Hey Hawley. The end. How much of a difference does my new camera make? Like a zillion. Thanks Olympus!

Can you guess where they are from? No really, guess. I don’t usually shop there but it’s super affordable. I think my darling Sabrina will be proud of me for these babies. I don’t wear heels that often. They look so sexy and I love that feeling but got damn sometimes they kill your feet. We’ll bust these out when it get’s warmer. HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING. The shoes are designed by Christian Siriano for Payless, the youngest winner of Poject runway. Yay Generation Y! I don’t watch the show but I deff know someone who does. When we were coming home from Puerto Rico in December we met a guy from the show and Ellen got her photo with him. What was his name E? Popular for designers to do a line for less ex. H&M, Target, KMart. Remember how crazy everyone went for Lanvin H&M? CRAZY. I went for the wildest & highest heel I could find!

![Aisles turn to catwalks: Stolen Girlfriends Club SS 2011]()
I’ve told you about Stolen Girlfriends Club before, most fav NZ designer. My girl Anna Fitzpatrick at Red Bull in NZ sent me this awesome vid of the SS SGC collection ‘Untitled’. Check out what they did… Stolen Girlfriends Club invade New World Victoria Park. Stolen Girlfriends Club present their Spring 2011 collection ‘Untitled’ Gone are the runways, front row seating, backstage, and media-only invite list. It was everyday shoppers who were treated to 20 beautiful models walking the aisles of a supermarket as if they were the cat walks of Milan. Music courtesy of White Lies – Peace and Quiet (33s remix) No runways, front row seating, backstage, or media-only invite list, for six minutes New World Supermarket (Auckland, been there) was taken over by models. The show was put together with Red Bull who have been lovers of their unconventional style since 2005. Marc Moore, design director of SGC, wanted to present ‘Untitled’ in a location that took fashion out of its usual context. “We thought about presenting our new collection in a total random and public place, we wanted it to be like a ‘fashion flash-mob’. It’s always a challenge to keep people on their toes in anticipation but I think that today’s show really did surprise”. She looks surprised… Todday I’m heading to lunch to meet a few friend who is giving me a NEW fancy camera. I am going to take so many photos of everything including myself . Haha. Someone from Global News is coming to interview me after that about being cool twitter/blog. I dreamed of this kinda stuff happening to me when I grow up. Have plans to do something fun this evening too. Life is good. Enjoy the sunshine today 🙂

![hey there school girl]()
Leather jacket, sweet ride. I rarely ever take TTC. I noticed that today. I pretty much walk everywhere. I stay in my neighbourhood heaps. I need to tune up my bike. Anyone have a hook up? I have a varity of talents for barter. Seeing a pack of cops will forever remind me of the G20. Google “casie stewart riot girl“. I hope I never have to be in a situation like that again. Running through the streets soaking wet, people were being detained and arrested, cops everywhere in riot gear, riots. No, thank you. Last time I was here I was in American Pie Beta House. I like this campus. It’s really pretty and old. I walked home after. It was pretty warm out. You are beautiful Jessica. sunshine | motorola milestone | me to we beaded heart | capezio cowboy boots | steve madded dress (raymi) | nella bella change purse | motorola milestone telus | jean jacket, queen west clothing swap | jessica’s scarf (she has mine) | rabbit fur, ruby NZ | leather jacket | smile ipad | moleskine style bamboo dodo case | croissant | americano this view is very creepy to me. haha. hey there jessica and some speakers. one guy looks like he’s late, eh?

Today I am at Centennial College in the morning and St. Lawrence Market for St. Patty’s day in the arvo. Kinda feel super busy but then I think I would be bored if it was any other way. I so often wish I didnt have to sleep so I could work on stuff all the time. Things are…

![#pumasocial: march 10, 2011 @Burroughes #toronto]()
Last week Toronto was host to the first PUMA Social Club in Canada at the Burroughes Building on Queen Street. It was THE place to be. So many cool peeps and hot babes. Check out this rad vid produced by 1188 Films for Puma with a blonde you will recognize. I love this campaign, I feel it really goes along with my lifestyle. I celebrate more victories at the bar than I do at the gym. See a couple more familiar faces in the vid? A bunch you have seen here over the years if you look real close. Thing is, PUMA pioneers ‘Sportlifestyle’ and has built a their brand on FUN. I thnk I’m kinda like that too. Hey look, my sis riding a giant moose w/ R’Bull. The whole top floor of the Burroughs was full of people playing games like checkers, operation, ping pong, table hockey, air hockey. Lotsa late night revelry, live bands and DJs. Hellooooo again friend. This track is for ma boy Nate Dogg who passed away last night at 41 to a stroke. REGULATE! After-hour athletes are babes. I had a couple pose with me for fun. For more info about the campaign in Canada or the world see the press release here. This is Sean the producer telling me I am AWESOME. Thanks for the gig. Love you. And remember, some marathons end At 6am. One more thing, could you please take one second to vote for Shawn Hawaii in the BMW contest? No email, no signup just vote. It will mean the world to him. I’d do it for you! VOTE here NOW. P.S

![setting the wheels in motion]()
The other day some of my babe friends joined me at The Motion Room for the Saturday Re-Energizer Bootcamp. Say hi to the ladies! *waves at computer* Here we go! My sis is so fit. She’s going to be teaching Zumba soon. Pretty proud/excited for that. My new Reebok Easy Tone gear makes me feel like a superhero. Look like one too. Thank you Reebok Canada! Perfect form here. James is standing behind me making sure I don’t give up and keeping the ball from moving. Thank you from my muscles! Everyone in this photo is working it. Can you count how many? I’m motivated to be healthier since going to the gym. People always say it makes you feel good and it’s true. Wheels in motion, eating healthier. Snack break – Unnecessary wheels: apple (minus the worm, I dunno how he got there). Back to working out… Jenie is totally beating me here, I was having trouble. See, Kelly is laughing too. Working out with freinds like this is a blast. The staff are super nice and don’t mind our jokes and laughing. Eye spy a Minx named Raymi. Do we look alike? All the girls really enjoyed the workout. You will be hurting the next day if you go, a good hurt. If you wanna go check out The Motion Room call them at 647-351-8671 or go to themotionroom.com. Make sure you tell them yo know me. Now that I’ve sat here bloggin’ I’m motivated to go work up a sweat at the gym. Hope you’re havin’ a really great day. P.S. Where’s the beach? Cause like, I’m ready for it. RAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa!

![GIFTING DAY 6: baby it’s cold outside]()
I’ve never really worn ear warmers (muffs?) before, but the other day it was snowing/cold and I didn’t want to ruin my hair. So, I took the 180s I goti n the mail out for a spin. My beautiful yellow leather bag is by Canadian designer Nella Bella. I wasn’t sure at first if they were my thing but they’re cute and they kept my ears super warm. The ‘not ruining my hair part’ was also quite important. I find it pretty rad that they have ones like this WITH earphones. I need those. I have another pair that are brown suede, kinda dressier. I wore with a long coat and a hat and I was super warm. In Canada you can get them at The Bay, Sears, Mark’s Work Warehouse and Zeller’s or online at 180s.com. Today there are five winners. Each person gets a pair of holiday ear warmers in Rhododendron Red, Snow White and Kelly Green. These 180s make good presents/stocking stuffers. Shipping is included so you might get them in time. To win today’s contest, leave a comment below with Twitter, Facebook or DISQUS and tell me: If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? Contest includes shipping and is open to anyone in Canada.

On Twitter yesterday I saw famed LA fashion blogger Rumi Neely posted a NZFW photo diary. What did I find? A pic of me, Rumi and Gala Gonzalez from the Nom D party at NZFW. That night was so fun, we climbed on the car and were posing for photographers. If you don’t know Rumi or Gala, you must be living under a fashion rock. I have a crush on Gala, she’s from the UK and just lovely. Her blog is inside am-lul’s closet and Rumi’s blog is fashion toast. Hopefully I get back to NZ again next year for FW. I’d love to get to a few other countries too! I got a glimpse of ‘the life’… I had a driver, an assistant, and was ushered to front row for every show and always posing for photos. Lets hope for more of that in my future!

![have you ever been to sky city?]()
It’s a real place, although it sounds imaginary. It’s an entertainment company in New Zealand. I reckon one of my best Kiwi mates is in their commericals at the momment. Kms can you confirm? Venus have you seen my friend? I’ve been quite missing NZ since I went back. Now that I’m grown up and I went, I got a taste and I’m hungry for more. Just found out my best cuz is having a BABY. Yes Mum/Dad/Gay, Matthew! Him and I are the closest, four days apart. He came to visit me in Australia at Uni, crazy mofo, like me but a handsome young man. I really want a hungi. Do you know what that is? it’s a traditional Marori way of cooking food in the ground. Best meal ever. If I have a wedding ever there willbe a hungi and Dad will do the haka with my uncles. He, whoever he is, will be scared. Our sky was very pretty yesterday. Drove all over the city. So pretty the sky on a sunny day. Do you take a minute to look up? Can you see the Tower? It’s hiding. Went to a friends new photography studio. If you want/need space with all the equipment. Ask me, I hook you up. You can take my photo too if you like. Love picture taking. Imma play with some of the gear over the winter and see what I can cook up for you, internet. That was yesterday. Those skintone lacey tights are from Winners. Been asked a bunch so what the hell, I’ll reveal my secrets! Have an awesome day xo
