WMCFW | Shows, Street Style, Something Different

Well, it's WMCFW again! Here's my recap from Day 1 at the tents! Coco Rocha was there and there was a prosthetic leg on the runway. WHOA!

Last night kicked off World MasterCard Fashion Week in TO. It’s always fun seeing everyone show up and it feels like the first day back at school seeing all your fashion friends in one place. I started my evening at The Shore Club for the preview of Piloti by StyleBox. Especially loved the carnivore Club box of meats in the gift bag. You can bet Sean was happy when I arrived home with that, ha!

Highlights from WMCFW Day 1

WMCFW Street Style Day 1

I absolutely LOVE Line Knitwear.  It’s hard not to really. The colours and angora in this collection makes me want to wear everything at once. My old friend Natalie used to be roomies with John Muscat of Line Knitwear back when I first moved to Toronto, I wasn’t really in the fashion scene back. That reminds me, I have a gorgeous Line blazer I really need to bust out when the weather warms up, if it ever does! Urghhhhh!

One of the cool things I saw at VAWK was Sunny Fong partnered with the Alleles,  winners of the Design Exchange’s recent Emerging Designer competition. They specialize in intricate covers for leg prosthetics and it was the first time I’d seen something like this on the runway!  (Photo via BlogTO read more here.)

I won’t be at the tents tonight as I’m meeting the Cuisinart crew to plan our next episode. I can’t wait to get my hands on a juicer! I’ll be back tomorrow for Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh sharing what’s happening from back stage with Maybelline and also the runway.

Soak up some sunshine out there, it’s gonna be nasty again tomorrow!

Finally, finally the sun came out and the temperature warmed up. Yesterday was a beautiful day! Dug up my Sunflower dress from American Apparel, put on mala beads from Tiny Devotions (for good vibes), and was happy that a trench was warm enough. Loving my purple, pink hair too.

These beautiful flowers arrived at my desk and let me tell you, they smell just like Spring! Ordered some dresses from NastyGal and they only took 5 days to get here. Fastest yet!

Super excited for these babies that arrived at the office on Friday! Two pairs of JShoes, a brand from the UK launching in Canada soon. I’m documenting a day in the life of them during World MasterCard Fashion Week next week.

We Made Chicken in a Steam Oven

We Made Chicken in a Steam Oven

CWC group photo

I know I’m probably not top of mind when it come to culinary arts, however I do know my way around a kitchen. Recently I filmed our first episode of a 4 part cooking series with my blog friends Garret and Sasha. We used a Steam Oven to make a roasted chicken & warm bread arugula salad.

The chicken we used was 1 and 1/2 pounds and only took 50 minutes to bake. Using a steam oven cuts your cook time to also 50% of what it would be in a traditional  oven.  The finished product was golden, crisp and extremely moist. I’d never made a warm bread salad before and you’ll see how we did it in the video.  It was delicious!

Next time we’re  using two juicer products. I’ve always wanted a juicer and it’s gonna be great for slimming down before summer!  On, now who’s hungry!?

It’s About Time Spring| 2 Day Hiatus Update!

It’s About Time Spring| 2 Day Hiatus Update!

Hey! It’s been a busy couple days as I was at the DX3 Digital Marketing conference on Wednesday and Thursday. So, conferencing combined with my day job and a few other things I’ve been working took up all my time. The conference was awesome, I heard some great speakers and chatted to heaps of people I’ve not seen in ages.

In other news, IT’S SO NICE OUT TODAY!

Post by Casie Stewart.

I’ve got some exciting news to share and I’m just waiting on the go-ahead to tell you about it. I’ll also be sharing my plans for World Mastercard Fashion Week and my first episode of Cooking With Cuisinart. Here’s to an awesome weekend.

Much love and sunshine!

Swimming Pool, Sunshine’s Cool, Winter Drools

I was saying yesterday how I’m really looking forward to summer and sunshine and the cottage. I found myself looking through old photos of us last night, hanging out in Muskoka, relaxing with the calm sound of nature and the lake. I’m due for a vacation. Thailand was months ago and although it was a really good time, it was the opposite of relaxing! We were on a tight media schedule and it was rare to have a couple hours alone for naps or lazing on the beach. I just want to feel that sunshine. I want to feel warm. I’ve not taken off my scarf or hat since arriving at the office and there’s a space heater beside me. This is the longest winter in 25 years and we’ve had a record number of ‘cold weather alert’ days. I try my best to stay positive and not let the weather get me down but sheesh, this is the hardest it’s been. I know months down the road I’ll look back at this and think, if you could get through this you can get through anything.

A couple years ago Sean and I drove to Montreal in a Fiesta for a weekend sponsored by Ford Canada. It was really fun and the weather was warm. We stayed at the W Montreal which I totally love, ate good food, and spent afternoons in the sunshine.

This is the video Sean edited of our weekend ‘Postcard from Montreal’. Summer, please come back soon. I’m dying to get back up the the cottage ♥ CASIE

Blondes Have More Fun

Omg double trouble! This weekend was pretty chill. I’m not going to talk about the Oscars or that selfie because everyone no the internet is talking about it and if you were online when it happened, you’re probably SO OVER IT. Especially the photoshopping of Rob Ford or Kevin Spacey.
