Ride & Shine
Took the long route to work today so I could ride more. Biked an hour at lunch too. My arms and abs are feeling the burn from so much riding. Reckon I forgot just how great of exercise it is. I’m stoked to be wearing this Napapijri poncho again, got it in Nov last year so we’ve not spent a full summer together. These khakis I picked up from GAP last week on a mega sale with a matching shirt. My first job ever was at that store so I’ve always had love for it. Crazy things is that I am still the same size as when I worked there at 16. Huzzahhhh!
Have driven past this sign so many times, took it’s photo today. Love the typography.
Hope you have a RAD DAY and RAD WEEKEND!
Much love, <3 CASIE
Palladium Momochrome Boots in the Park
Took myself for lunch in the park yesterday. It was lovely. Sun shining bright, people on bikes, shirtless hipsters catching rays, picnic blankets, and puppies playing. This weather puts everyone in a great mood.
Video of the Day, Shot w/ HTC One + Zoe
These are my new Monochrome boots by Palladium, I was sent them last week and love. Super bright!
They come in a bunch of colours. Unfortunately I missed the preview at SoHo House this week but you can see photos from the lookbook by Sidewalk Hustle. Look at how cute Hawley and Kate are in theirs! Adorabs.
Have an awesome day!

THE FIRST DAY OF MAY
Loving my new HTC One. I’ve got a campaign launching with them any day now. As soon as the link is live I’ll share with you. This phone was MADE for someone like me. I had training on it yesterday at lunch. There are sharing and social components to every aspect of it. I took a bunch of photos & used Zoe, the photo assistant on my way to work today and it made this video from all the content. I didn’t edit the video, add effects, or music, it was ALL DONE BY THE PHONE. THE FUTURE IS NOW.
I am so in love with this weather. Woke up with a smile and biked to work early. Life is good. This is my favourite month, my birthday is on May 8th. 🙂
Hope you have an awesome day.

Tuesday’s Grey and Wednesday too
Where do we find the will and the courage to continue?
This is one of my fav songs on one of my fav all time albums. This weekend I sat alone, late and at the cottage kitchen table writing, finally working on that book I’m been talking about, and finally doing some web stuff I’ve been avoiding. It wasn’t until I slowed down, I realized how fast I was going. I’ve always liked MIA but “Live fast, Die Young” isn’t in my creative “take over the world” plan. If I’m ever having a bad day, I go put on Lisa Loeb – Tails or White Stripes – Elephant. I love those albums.
This is Dad and I doing the CN Tower Eggewalk about a year ago, almost to the day. It was so awesome.
This Makes Me Happy
When problems overwhelm, us and sadness smothers us, where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well, the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend, a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith. For Janet help came from her faith, but it also from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job. She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived, she worked her way out of despondency and now she says, life is good again. How could this happen? She told me that late one Autumn day when she was at her lowest she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I. Once I broke my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time. – White Stripes, Little Acorns
Been there like Janet, and I worked my way out. You can work yourself out too. Your life if your movie and you are the director, and you choose what roles you play and who stars in it with you.
All the worlds a stage, babe. Take centre.
You’ve Changed, There’s a Spring in Your Step
Wore some bright pants from Gap today. Brought the sunshine everywhere I went. New Killigrew cotton mixed with poka dots. Ted Baker London scarf, Tom’s, and a smile.
Everything has changed. For the better 🙂

I did morning yoga on the dock at 6am. It was magical!
