Thanks Spiro for this lovely shot of me & Nancy from Peacock Parade. She’s wearing Greta Constantine. My dress in vintage black suede from Timeless Apparel and jewels are from Swarovski. I love this collar, it was a hit. Sadly, I have to return them to the head office today. I absolutely loved the jackets by Jameson Kane in the TFI New Labels show. Winner was Sid Niegum which wasn’t much of a surprise to me. Patrick L’Arrivee had some awesome avant garde style with nylon & hats. Loved it. Very gaga-esque. Runway Photos: Owen McLeod, The Style Lense. I was socializing & trying to ignore the hurt caused by my 6′ shoes. See full coverage of the event on It’s All Style to Me. In other fashion news, last week I was Trump Toronto for the premiere of the first short film from Greta Constantine called ‘From Sketch to Runway‘. It’s now online. watch it. Stay stylish my friends,

It was quite the ‘woman’s show’! Booths everywhere with all kinds of things from one piece pyjama rompers to nail polish to cupcakes made out of soap. 3F sponsored the social media lounge that was decked out with big comfy chairs, interactive displays and clothes from the SS 2012 line. Raymi and I walked the pink carpet and checked out all the displays. Case on my phone was a HUGE hit. It’ made by Andrew, to order one visit felony-case.com and enter ‘CASIESTEWART’ for a discount. Hair is done with artist chalk. Tights are H&M & vest is  from Peacock Parade.  BTW they have a huge sale on right now. Ordered Cheap Monday jeans for $39! Have an AWESOME DAY!

Last night I went to the Swarovski FW 2012 preview and touched a zillion jewels fit for a king, fot a kingdom really! This Hello Kitty is 1/88 that was made by hand and valued over $10,ooo. See ya later byeeee! I’ll just take this kitty home 😛 I really love the skully items in the mens collection. Thank you Swarovski Canada for this beautful necklace. This gold/black volcanic ash setting is seen in FW 2012 on several items. I’m at the Darrek Kwik Studio right now getting my hair done before heading home to get ready for Toronto Fashion’s 25th Anniversary gala. Swarovski is sending some BEAUTIFUL jewellery for me to borrow, celebrity style, for tonight’s event. Can’t wait to get dressed up! If you’re heading to the Royal Ontario Museum for the festivities keep an eye out for Lauren and I. My hair is now beige.
