Globe & Mail: Casie & Lauren at Soho House w/ Grey Goose

Just came across this photo of Lauren and I in the Globe & Mail from Grey Goose’s Cherry Noir event at the Soho House the other day. Yesterday at the Queen’s Plate I was hanging out with some of the reps from Grey Goose and Sean and I got to deliver the Grey Goose horse blanket to the winner of Race 7.

Cineplex Movie Date w/ Savings from CAA

image

No, that’s not me! It’s Anne Hathaway in the Cineplex magazine! This week I went to the movies, which I have not done in FOREVER. The best part? I ordered tickets online from CAA and saved some cash. The second best part, CAA discounted tix are still eligible for Scene Points at the theatre. Double bonus!

image

There are over 1,300 Cineplex Entertainment screens in Canada from serving more than 70M movie lovers each year.  If you’re a CAA member, like me, you can enjoy exclusive pricing. The prices below are Canadian dollars with tax included and can be ordered online or picked up from a CAA store near you.

CAA Cineplex Tickets Available

  • Cineplex Night Out – $28.82 CAD 2 general admissions, 2 regular drinks and 1 regular popcorn

Um, that’s like forever these days! You can also upgrade them for IMAX®, IMAX® 3D, UltraAVX™, RealD 3D film and VIP admission by paying the difference.

image

As for me, I  like to go to the theatre early and hit the arcade. My BF loves old school Pacman and my fav game is Dance Dance Revolution. I played heaps when I lived in Australia, and guess what? I still got skills!

For  information on ALL the awesome life-side assistance savings from CAA visit caa.ca. On a side note, you can also save at Jays Games, East Side Mario’s, and Gap outlets. I picked up this bright cardigan from the Gap at Dufferin Mall the other day and saved 10%!

See all the CAA Savings I’ve taken advantage in the last six months here and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

Have an awesome day!

I’m going to @Disneyland in California!

I’m going to @Disneyland in California!

happier

I’ve been invited to the happiest place on EARTH! Yes, it’s true. I’ll be spending six days next month in sunny California touring Disneyland, staying at THE Disneyland Hotel, and hanging out in the OC and LA with their tourism boards. It’s every  girls dream come true! I’m hoping to recreate a photo of me with Mickey Mouse that was taken when I was a toddler. Mum, did you find that yet?

Screen Shot 2013-06-24 at 10.56.17 PM

These pix are from the Disneyland archives (via LA Times) and this little ticket is the first one ever sold. It’s been a while since I had a vacation and I can’t wait. Disney has also invited my BFF Lauren, a bunch of other bloggers, and I’m bringing my BF. I’ve never been so thankful to be  a blogger!

Screen Shot 2013-06-24 at 10.57.05 PM

I can see me wearing tulle, and Mickey Mouse ears the whole time. Ahhhhh! I’ll be sharing  moments as they happen on Twitter/Instagram and documenting the entire trip with my new Canon DSLR.

If you’ve ever been to Disney or have any tips for LA and the OC, please leave in the comments! It’s been a couple years since I was in LA and I’ve never been to the OC!

Squeeeee!

Crackdown on Public Drinking in Bellwoods

Crackdown on Public Drinking in Bellwoods

Was having lunch in Bellwoods with a friend today (as I so often do) and I must look like a hipster because I was interviewed by CBC about the recent crackdown on drinking in the park.

Public Park drinking in Bellwoods @casiestewart #thisismylife

 

I’m not sure when it will air but if you catch me on the tele, snap a pic! Apparently neighbours of the park have been cracking down on reporting public drinking and drug use (joint smoking?) in Bellwoods. I’ve had my share of afternoons in the park drinking a few tall cans with friends, it’s really fun! All I have to say is, if you’re drinking the park, don’t make a mess or be too obvious.

Enjoy the sunshine out there, it’s turned into a beautiful day!

Wallace & Co. – The Neighbourhood Diner

Wallace & Co. – The Neighbourhood Diner

#thisismylife @casiestewart

This weekend we stopped into Wallace & Co. for Sunday brunch, it’s an urban diner at Dundas West. The food was good, atmosphere quiet, there’s  rock n’ roll in the background and hipsters in the kitchen. It’s just down the street from our place. Very kid friendly, there were so many little monsters there!  Also, the coffee was excellent.

I’m quite enjoying the new neighbourhood. It’s super quiet and I love having a nice roof top patio. We’ve found a new local bar in the hood and taken a few nice night walks along the Toronto West Rail path.

Now, how long till the weekend? I’m ready for you.

Toronto Pride was a blast on Sunday. Danced in the street, had some drinks, and saw heaps of familiar faces. Ran into my sister on Church!

wpid-IMAG2531.jpg

Met a lovely deaf couple on a patio and fully had a conversation. It was nice to put my sign language skills to use. My ASL used to be pretty good but when you don’t use it, you lose it.

wpid-IMAG2498.jpg

This lovely boy on the left is my friend from Ted Baker’s 25th birthday party.

wpid-IMAG2514.jpg

Renaldo and I have photos from the last few years at Pride. Always with the great outfits!

wpid-IMAG2508.jpg

Love these outfits. Want one. Do NOT love his shoes. Those things creep me out.

wpid-IMAG2500_ZOE006_SHOT.jpg

These animals really creeped me out.

The rest of the photos below are less safe for work so this is your warning! Hope you had a lovely long weekend.

Much love and light,

This was fun. It was super busy! Seas of people wearing neon and bad outfits. I didn’t take my DSLR, thought it might rain. Street style would have been a real hoot. Nice to see Azari & III on the Echo Beach stage. Heaps of people who were total zombies by the end of the night. You won’t believe the vibration from the speakers backstage. Overall, awesome experience for first Digital Dreams. Cheers to Bacardi for a fun day!

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

I love love love this Color Bug product by  Kevin Murphy (Australia). I’ve been using it for a few months. Colour in, wash out. It works like a chalk on your hair and is a totally perfect perk up when you need to get your roots done! Works on all different hair shades and comes in a variety of colours including pink, orange, lime green, white, purple, and GOLD.

This morning I was feeling Friday lazy, plus am about to go get my hair done tonight, so threw this in with a couple curls and VOILA. Stopped to snap a few photos with my new DSLR on the way to work. I’m looking to teach a Master Class in Self-Photography one day.

Peace out peeps, hope you hae a killer Friday night. I’m heading for a drink with the girls from work, then hair appointment, and probably a wild night at home watching a movie with my love. Mum is coming to visit tomorrow and I’m so glad it’s a long weekend.

Keep fit & have fun, <3 CASIE

Canon Blogtography – Step Outside of Auto!

#canonblogtography @casiestewart

A couple weeks ago I announced my partnership with Canon as a Brand Ambassador and over the past month  I’ve been playing around with my new DSLR. The Canon Rebel SL1 is a compact 18 mega pixel camera with touch screen and whole bunch of features I’m not quite versed in yet.  I have heaps to learn. 

Canon has awesome resources and I’ve been playing on canonoutsideofauto.ca but the real way I’m going to learn is TAKING PHOTOS. I’m just getting used to using a DSLR. I’ve got a pretty good eye for composing a nice shot but right now aperture and ISO feel like new languages. Once I  learn and understand exposure (ISO, shutter speed and aperture), I’ll be in business. I know it won’t take too long!

I’ve been playing around with ISO and exposure. It’s super neat how one photo can be so different by changing just one or two things.

This little Rebel has built in filters too. So, naturally I took a few selfies in the park to test them out.

This weekend I’m shooting Digital Dreams music festival and in August I’ll be shooting Disneyland and California! Staring in next month have a weekly fashion column for Dose.ca. This is where those Canon skills will really come into play. I’m excited to take my blog to the next level!

Below are a few photos I took using (gasp) auto to get used to using the camera.

 One of the most beautiful things, a perfect avocado!

Limba the 50 year old elephant at Bowmanville Zoo.

A baby giraffe peeks out his head at Bowmanville Zoo. I need to work on depth and focus.

Gonna to practice camera settings in nature.

Over the next couple months I’ll be attending events and learning sessions with an expert from  Canon. I gave them a whole list of things I want to achieve before December rolls around. I’m exited to take you on this journey with me! If you have tips on accessories or tricks that will help me out, please share!

This is only the beginning!

Love, CASIE
