Everybody On The Phone, On The Phone

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 🙂

Love, CASIE

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!

THIS?

THIS?

I’m gearing up to start shooting the new season of THIS: The Hot Internet Show on Coral TV. We’ve been signed on  as a partner by Kin Community, THE LARGEST LIFESTYLE CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE, so, I need to step up my game here. One of their partners is THE ELLEN SHOW. Sorry for yelling, this is all very exciting.  I met some od the team from NY last night and they are just lovely.

I’m wondering what you might like to see on THIS?

The show is co-produced by me and I’ve got the freedom to be creative and plan episodes. In the past I’ve covered events, tech apps, gadgets, travel accessories, and summer accessories. I was thinking about doing some things with a tech-style theme and more around blogging (since that’s my expertise!)

I’d love to get any ideas from YOU! If you don’t want to comment or Tweet me shoot an email to coraltv @ casiestewart.com. Some of my old eps below.

Ted Baker London Celebrates 25 Years in Style

Ted Baker London Celebrates 25 Years in Style

Last week I hosted Ted’s 25th celebration at the beautiful store in Yorkdale Mall. In true Ted Baker London style, it was a hoot! I played around in the clothes trying on everything I could get my little hands on, helping customers, drinking lemonade, and dancing to wicked beats. The entire store was 25% off to celebrate 25 years of the iconic brand. As a Ted baker London Ambassador, I was lucky to pick a few items out for myself! It was hard to choose, trust me! See below for event photos, fav items, and how YOU could win the trip of a lifetime.

Have you seen this yet? Clicked the fancy ad in my sidebar for the new HTC One? If you did, you’ll notice it’s for a big contest with HTC  to win a phone and social + blog mentorship from none other than yours truly! This is my second partnership with HTC in the last couple years.

I was given the phone a few weeks ago and almost all the photos I’ve published here since have been shot with the HTC One. The selfie cam on this lil’ thing is the best I’ve seen and the reviews of it are great! I posted a bunch of photos over the weekend and a collection in this post here. The phone itself is made of aluminium and the home screen is a feed of all my social activity and news.

HTC is looking to help someone take their blog to the next level by offering them mentorship from a famous successful blogger. You’ll win the HTC One, mentorship, and you’l be published right here on THIS IS MY LIFE.
