I haven’t decided to colour in the owl on my arm or not. I like it like this. I think it’s time for some new work. I have a few ideas but it’s time to get drawing. Some nice girl tattoos on this blog I found. My right arm has tattoos because I’m left handed and I draw them on first.

Had a jerk chicken sandwich on the patio at Harlem Underground yesterday. Was ok, made me miss Ackee Tree, that place had the best jerk sandwich ever.

Loving this warm summer sunshine. The lake waves are crashing on the dock. Rdio cottage mix in the background. Beaut!

Enjoy the day!

Burgers Priest: The Way Burgers Should Be (1970’s)

Burgers Priest: The Way Burgers Should Be (1970’s)

This comes out tomorrow, but by secret connections of the internet, I’m sharing with you today! My friends at Biz Media really love great burgers and wanted to capture the essence of what really made fast food great in the olden days. They matched that pure burger love with vintage video production to make this great throwback.

Duck dress is from Winners and Oxfords from Browns. Heading to Yorkdale Mall tonight for a special invite-only shopping event for bloggers at Nine West hosted by my girl, Stacey McKenzie. New shoes for me! Woot.

Hope you have a great day. Make sure to wear sunscreen, it’s a scorcher out there!

Love, CASIE

Took subway home from work today after stopping by the Nella Bella head office. I’ve been friends with the designers for years and truly love them!

I do not however, love loud talkers on the subway. Don’t people realize they are being loud/rude/annoying? We all don’t need to know the floodplan of your new apartment or that your sister still has that loser boyfriend. Couple years ago I made videos of loud talking people and posted them online. I feel that might be a bit inappropriate now, but I still think about it.

This is my new fav bag. A big black purse is a staple for every city girl or woman who loves to travel. My Nella Bella bags have been around the world with me on all kinds of adventures!

Thank you SO much Tarek and the Nella Bella team for having me in today. Congrats on the new line! Check out all their designs at nella-bella.com.

In other news, I like the West end and I don’t miss CityPlace. Sitting on the top of the bridge as I write this and feeling pretty good.

Hope the sun is shining on you today. 🙂

Where did the day go?!

Where did the day go?!

Feels like the day just flew by, but I was so busy and did so many things. I can’t wait till the weekend so I can scratch this fast pace and slow the heck down. I’m ready for some dock side chilling and floating in the boat. Fashion show tonight with friends. Wee!

We face neither East nor West: we face forward.

I totally underestimated the time it takes to get from our place in the West end by streetcar to downtown. I don’t know why I always imagine the TTC to be a quick mode of transportation. (What was I thinking?) I really should have taken a cab. It’s the first time I’ve taken the streetcar from here. (I should have taken a cab.)

I don’t mind the rain today, I’m at The Spoke Club for Disaronno’s Mixing Star competition. (Toronto round of the event I was in Vancouver for the other day.) This one will be fun as the PR team is here and I know way more TO media than Vancouver. Follow the event on Twitter @DisaronnoCanada, it’s me behind the brand today.

Check out this beautiful sunrise I saw this morning from the bedroom window. Forget the rain, I had a bright start to the day! Sending sunshine your way too 🙂

And she was fair as is the rose in May.

Earlier this months I was chosen by Lancome Canada as one of 20 artists in Canada to be part of their big digital show for Luminato Festival. I was super stoked to be chosen for this experience! The theme was ‘the rose’ so I had my BF shoot me with a dozen roses up at the cottage in the sunshine. Unfortunately, I submitted my photos LATE and they would not accept them for the show.

See below for a bunch of photos. They are kinda big so I didn’t leave them all on the homepage!
