Friiiiyay! CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND! <3

Friiiiyay! CHEERS TO THE WEEKEND!

Started bright and cold early this morning and went to a blogger breakfast with Ford Canada at the Canadian International Auto Show. It is damn cold out here today. My new MotoG smartwatch tells me it’s -22 right now. I’ve also completed my 10K steps for the day so I’m gonna stop working early.

(null)

Totally got spoilt for Valentines Day by Motorola because they sent me a NEW PHONE and the MotoG watch. I’m in love with wearables and this things is an absolute vision of beauty.

(null)

THANK YOU MOTOROLA. ILU!

Felt a little bit bad for my bf who got me a great gift but when he see’s all the things that arrive from the Internet, it’s hard to compete. Not that he has to but, I did get a bunch of gifts this year. I’ll share more goodies over the weekend.

(null)

I arrived to the auto show to the wrong area and was surrounded by the sales meeting team and walked in all leopard print, bright red, and standing out like a sore thumb. (As usual, but more here when everyone was wearing black and suits!)

(null)

Finally asked someone and located the blogger crew.

(null)

Sent a photo of this cute little hybrid hot rod, Hot Wheels to my dad. Would love to drive one of these little bad boys!

(null)

(null)

I woke up in a Bugatti! Ok, woke up and saw a Bugatti.

(null)

Always wanted one of these. Still might have one someday!

(null)

Had a Valentines lunch date with Alison.

(null)

(null)

Had a heart shaped pizza delivered to Sean’s office for him. Pizza my heart.  🙂

(null)

Travelled on the GO train to visit Keri for a slumber party. Can’t forget your BFFs on Valentines Day! READ HER BLOG HERE. SHE IS REALLY AWESOME.

(null)

Ahhhhh, the country! Nothing but the sound of… well, NOTHING.

(null)

Lloyd is my dad’s name. Gave him a ring when I saw this, figured it was a sign. GET IT? A SIGN.

(null)

And now I am starting the weekend early and going to have some beers with Keri. SO happy it’s the weeeeeeeekend.

Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful few days filled with love, or friends, or drinks, whatever makes you happy. Don’t forget to treat someone you love, EVEN IF IT’S YOURSELF!

Sending love from beside the fire,

Pucker Up for South St. Burger This Valentines Day

Pucker Up for South St. Burger This Valentines Day

You might have seen this photo on Instagram or Facebook but today I got some cool news. Sean I are on the cover of a small newspaper outside Calgary, Alberta. The digital edition is now online and the print version comes out tomorrow! Check this out! Read the full article here.

Screen Shot 2015-02-11 at 2.32.02 PM

South St. Burger wanted to recreate some iconic kisses and ours is clearly ‘Lady and The Tramp’. You can also see us on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

If you stop by a South. St. Burger on Valentines Day be sure to show them and kiss for some free fries! Sean and I had burgers and fries after our shoot and they’re really good. New York Fries were always a fav of mine growing up. I used to get them all the mall with Dad and my sister.

Check out Lauren and Steve recreating this iconic kiss. Love it!

Wishing you a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! With love,

CASIE

Back Seat Bloggin’ En Route to CoralTV

Back Seat Bloggin’ En Route to CoralTV

En route to St. Lawrence Market to shoot a segment for Coral TV. I’m a host on a certain design show today. I’ll update you once it’s live. For now, I’m blogging on the go from the back seat of an UberX Taxi! Back seat blogger FTW.

In other news, the sunshine is really beautiful today.

We’re working on incorporating this teak tray from Artemano Decor into a party tablescape. Move over Martha!

Hoping you get some of those beautiful rays on your face today. Sending sunshine wherever you might be. ❤️

Video: #JayuBloggedII Diaries SS15

#JayuBloggedII

If you were following along on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Selfish yesterday you’ll know I was on set with Shop for Jayu shooting the spring lookbook. It was fun! Nothing like a day of dress up and playing in front of the camera to make you feel really tired. Once I get home, I didn’t even make it through the Grammy’s before passing out on the couch in my jogging suit onesie.

Earlier last week we met to plan our looks at The Pink Grapefruit, Queen East. Check out the video below.

I finally wore these super uncomfortable shoes (that I love) from NastyGal. They’re never seen pavement but I’ve been holding onto them and sometimes wearing them in the house for the last year. That clear heel tho.

  (null)

That’s a wrap! Now we wait to see the final shots. Fingers crossed. This is the part I hate, the waiting! I’ll be sure to share with you once they’re live.

Here’s hoping you have a great Monday. I’m feeling a bit drained and overwhelmed, need one of those UV lamps I think. February is a tough one of all of us in cold, dark, wintery climates. Remember to get some sun on your face, take Vitamins D and B. I find a B50 complex really helps me from feeling SAD. Yes, I get the winter blues too guys!

Sending sunshine your way,

All The Girly Things Post on a Sunny Friday

All The Girly Things Post on a Sunny Friday

First things first, HAPPY FRIDAY! Started my day with some work and an amazing croissant from Cafe Neon in my hood.  I’m all out of Tassimo so ventures out into the cold sunshine to treat myself.  I really love working from home and for myself. It’s been about six months and I’ve got myself a schedule. I can’t wait till summer when my schedule means staying up at the cottage during the week here and there and morning coffee on the dock after kayaking.

(null)

I’ve started a new subscription with NextIssue, the Netflix of magazines and I love it. I spend so much time on my phone, and love magazines, but buying heaps and carrying them around is not practical for me. They’ve given me a code for you to get a 60 day trial (double the regular offer), visit this link and use 60free to sign up.

Mum joined me at The Spoke Club for the press preview of Behind The Red Carpet film. Doesn’t she look amazing? Thanks for coming Mum! Love you. The film is on CBC’s doc channel 9pm, Feb. 23rd.

(null)

I’M A JUNIOR MOVIE STAR! Ok, let’s not get carried away here. You CAN see all my film/tv stuff on IMDB tho. Let’s hope for more this year. I’m working on a few things and hope they pan out. You might be seeing even more of my face, if you can believe it.

(null)

Are you on Snapchat? ADD ME OMG RIGHT NOW.

You know I love short videos and this is your behind the scenes look at even more of my life and silliness and things I do in the day. You’ll not regret it. You’ll find me at: CASIESTEWART.

Stopped into The Loft Toronto for a little snip to clean up my hair before the shoot this weekend. Sylvie and I chatted about pixel hair and made a date to try it in 2 weeks. I’ll share more on that next week.

(null)

 

Stopped by Le Chateau to pull some clothes for the Shop for Jayu shoot. I’m super stoked and also kinda nervous about it. Lots to organize. Had a nightmare about it last night!

(null)

Queen Street West, RIP old furrier. It’s being replaced by this ugly store. I mean, it’s fine for the mall but QW is losing the uniqueness with each and every big chain that pulls up in the hood.

(null)

That’s all for now. Looking forward to a double date w/ Lozzie later. Off to get my nails done so I’m all dolled up on Sunday! WEEEEEE!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Housewarming + Heart Warming

Housewarming + Heart Warming

The other week Lauren had a housewarming party and I totally forgot I made a draft post with all the photos. Here’s a Flashback Friday to 3 weekends ago with a whole bunch of my friends, my Instant camera, and selfie stick. Had a blast snapping photos of everyone all night!

 I got the $Selfmade shirt from the Song Sisters, international fashion bloggers extraordinaire.

The next day i stayed at The Royal York Hotel with my sister. This pool was pretty heavenly. Thanks Hotels.com Canada for the hotel hookup! We had a fun girls night.

I love this city so much.

Here’s to a wicked good Friday and start to the WEEKEND! I’m stoked, have dinner at the Keg to try the new menu with Lauren & our boys tonight (I’m a former Kegger! Cambridge Keg FTW).  Rest tomorrow and the Shop for Jayu photoshoot Sunday.

The Idea of Waiting for Something Makes it More Exciting

The Idea of Waiting for Something Makes it More Exciting

Yesterday was such a whirlwind day. I’m feeling a bit frazzled from it all and kinda overwhelmed. I’ve not even had a chance to think about today, Thursday, and the Press Screening of Behind The Red Carpet Film. Apparently we have interviews before and I don’t even know what I’m wearing. (WHY DIDN’T I PLAN!) Mum is in town and coming by in the AM to be my date. If I’m ever in a bigger movie I’d happily take her as my date like Jared Leto or some other cool celebrity.

(null)

It was super nice to get a few deliveries yesterday, they were perfectly timed! Upper Canada Mall sent a bunch of Mac lipsticks in all my fav reds/pink. It’s part of the #SWAKforheart campaign for Valentines Day. Durex sent a red box of goodies to spice up the vday romance. I’ll share more of these details when I’m not so exhausted!

My chocolate covered Lays chips arrived and they are SO FREAKING GOOD.  Took them to two meetings and the bag is nearly gone. They’re dangerous! See my Valentines Gift Guide edition 1 here. 

Had a great meeting/snack session with Shop for Jayu and the other bloggers (JodiBlk, Victoria Simpson) at The Pink Grapefruit for the #JayuBloggedII photoshoot this weekend. I’ve got sourcing/planning to do but it was great to go over each of our looks with the photographer, hair, and makeup. It’s going to be a really fun day. Can’t wait till Sunday!

Today is another crazy day. Nervous/excited is my fav feeling but it can be overwhelming! A good sleep helps. Good quotes too. This is my mantra right now…

Wishing you a great day. Make sure you’re following me on Twitter AND SNAPCHAT (casiestewart) for realtime updates! Exciting!

With love,

CASIE
