Ted Baker London – NYC 5th Avenue Grand House

Ted Baker London – NYC 5th Avenue Grand House

Started the day in style with Starbucks, sunshine and a smile. This is the lovely Patricia ⬆ and ⬇ that’s not how you spell my name but I didn’t care one bit, I was in NY and it was Friday. ❤

This was en route to the essence NY head office, (Justin Bieber’s concert sponsor). NY cabs are cheaper than Toronto, feels like you drive for ages before you hit $20.

Cool 3d art installation painting downstairs.

Great view from upstairs.

Our next stop was the Ted Baker London 5th Avenue Grand House. It is gorgeous. Still looks like an old house in many ways, even how the clothes are hung and accessories displayed.  Right away I said, “WHEN CAN I MOVE IN?” I loved it.

image

I adore the new prints from Ted. I got a this great new bag, pants, a few scarves, and much needed grown lady wallet.

I absolutely love travelling. It’s less than three weeks before I head to California for six days with bloggers and best friends. I can’t wait!  Working on a post this week for the NY Ted Baker blog about my fav Toronto spots. Any suggestions? LMK! See other posts w/ Ted and me here.

I’m going to make this week really, really great. We’re closer to Friday than normal and we are closer to the end of summer I care to admit. Put a smile on that face of yours and flash it around.

Professional Tennis 2013: Venus & Serena

Professional Tennis 2013: Venus & Serena

I had no idea who was playing in the first round today when my Rogers Cup tickets arrived from National Bank.I though a Monday night match with my man would be a nice way to finnish off a great long weekend.

@casiestewart #thisismylife

I’ve never been to this tennis match because I’ve been so hardcore Telus for ages. I still love Telus. It’s crazy how sporting events are branded. Brands everywhere, everywhere a brand, brand. I really liked the Xerox 360 camera booth (got a poster and flipbook) and I won a magazine from the Rogers Zone, the National Bank booth with Andrew Richards Design furniture was a nice place to relax. I saw several charging stations and had free parking with the tickets. There is a shuttle from parking to front door and it’s on until August 11th. Overal fun time and so cool to see IRL, actually.

Turns out I picked a great night to come to a match…

image

Two awesome players (and sisters woot!), Venus and Serena Williams played doubles in an exhibition w/ Monica Seles and Eugenie Bouchard. Not bad for my first ever professional tennis match. There was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed myself a lot! I’ve even looked into getting tennis lessons myself now. All I need is a good racquet and some tennis balls and I’m good to go. I’ve learned more about us, especially myself, in this tennis match! It’s certainly ignited a flame I didn’t know I had.

image

Wearing new pants I got at Ted Baker in NY. Had a great dinner of sushi, roast beef, vegetables, and fried chicken in the Buick Canada premium lounge. Sat in the National Bank Financial section.

image

I absolutely love how quiet it is when they are playing tennis. All you hear are the sounds players make and dishes clanging in sponsor boxes. I’ve heard Wimbledon gives off a similar experience and oozes luxury, so I’d definitely want to go to a Wimbledon match at some point (click here if you do too!) I used to take tennis lessons in high school at the Doon Raquet Club. I like this game. I’m going to check out Play Your Court Tennis when I get home. For sure.

Fresh made chocolates from Lindt. The new caramel is delicious!

Spandy Andy dancing with Venus Williams! image Williams Sisters on the court.

Thank you National Bank for the sweet seats. Fun experience! Hope weekend was good. RT if you wish you took the day off 😛

Heading to Manhattan and Staying in a Dream

Heading to Manhattan and Staying in a Dream

Bag packed and heading to Porter after work. Catching a 7:30pm to Newark, NJ w/ my press escort aka Patricia. My trip is with essence cosmetics, the UK’s #1 brand who also happens to be the title sponsor of JB’s tour.

We arrive in NY just in time to head out on the town for Thursday night drinks. I was last in NY in January and about a year before that so pretty stoked to be back in the Big Apple!

We’re staying at Dream NYC in Manhattan and apparently all of JB’s peeps too. Tomorrow I plan to sleep in then hit up the NY Ted Baker store to get a new outfit for Friday night. Hardly packed anything!

Counting down till 5:30pm when I head to airport. Hellooooooooooo long weekend! Have an awesome day!

I’ve been taking desky photos for years and today’s post is dedicated to two fun tumblr blogs by my internetty friends Kevin (@kevinjn) and Russ (@russless). Check out russathisdesk.tumblr.com and kevinathisdesk.tumblr.com for some animated fun of them, well, working.

The video below is from four years ago when I worked in Liberty Village at a software company. That was fun. I used to take heaps of desky shots. It’s a fun time capsule, THE INTERNET!

Hope the day is treating you well. Remember, you’ll never be younger than you are today so make the most of it!

Passed by Beerfest for a little tour yesterday afternoon. It was fun.

Put this on and think happy thoughts. Always puts a smile on my face 🙂

Listened to The Edge this morning, such a funny radio show.

Thought I was so great taking the TTC this morning instead of Hailo and then I got surprised with a $12 chocolate bar when I got my coffee. Doh. Daniel from WORN JOURNAL was on my panel last night at The Spoke Club so I read this beauty on my way to work.

These Fluevog ads are great. They have a weird contest on the Flueblog right meow.

There’s a writer at WORN with the same name as me, awesome!

Pop Up 120 Opened Last Week on Ossington

Pop Up 120 Opened Last Week on Ossington

Screen Shot 2013-07-23 at 10.12.26 AM

This is a horrible photo of me, thank god they don’t have a rating system on Fashion Magazine. This was taken on Wednesday last week during the heat wave. It was actually about 8,000% in the Pop Up 120 shop on Ossington. This dress is from H&M, shoes are custom with my name on them by Converse.

Don’t look, I’m hideous. FML. Read more about the shop on Blog TO here.

Good morning sunshine 🙂 Hope your day is off to a great start.

Brandy Melville bag with “Friend of Saul” and “The Next Zuck” buttons. Got the Zuck one in Austin at SXSW.  Love this Ted Baker makeup tote and I have about 10 of these new Maybelline lipsticks. They’re all the same colour on the outside so it’s kinda hard to know which is which. Today’s colour is Coral Crush.

image

These Sperry’s are so old and starting to crumble but I love them so much. I saw a new similar style but they had different animal prints and they were too tacky.  In other news, it’s beautiful out. I love it.

Remember, you will never be younger than you are today, make the most of it!

The #casiebieber winner has been contacted, thanks for entering!

The #casiebieber winner has been contacted, thanks for entering!

Justin Bieber and company with Charles Khabouth and Danny Soberano of INK Entertainment at Cabana Pool Bar Sunday, July 21

Too bad I didn’t stop by Cabana Pool Bar yesterday to see my boy JB and tell him about this great contest with his tour sponsor essence cosmetics! Thanks to everyone who entered the contest. On Twitter alone there were 125,923 estimated impressions from 62 Twitter mentions. Whoa mama!

Justin Bieber and Deadmau5 at Cabana Pool Bar on Sunday, July 21

I drew a random name this morning and the winner has been contacted. If you are wondering why I didn’t announce them publicly it’s because I learned from my work at MuchMusic that the Beliebers can get mighty angry about winning/losing a chance to see their idol and I want to protect them from any chance of bullying. (BTW shame on yourselves if that’s you!) You’ll know who it is on Thursday when they are Tweeting from the concert!

I can’t wait to see him in NYC. It’ll be great to get away for a few days and *hopefully* I’ll get that meet and greet the essence team mentioned! I will actually be my the third time I’ve seen him. I was the Social Media Manager of the MMVAs when he was there in 2010. NBD.  This is the dress I had made by Peach Berserk with his face on it along with other nominees.  Ahhh, memories…

I’ll see if I can give away any more tickets from the tour. No promises! Hope your day is going in the right direction. Sending positive vibes your way 🙂
