Good Morning Sunshine!

Have an awesome day!

<3 CASIE

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Weekend Wrap Up: Cavalcade of Lights, AMAs, & Hibernating

I’ve been spending the weekends charging my batteries lately. Monday to Friday are so busy that by the time Saturday morning rolls around all I want to do is cook, clean, and rest. I went to Cavalcade of Lights presented by Great Gulf on Saturday for the first time since I’ve lived in Toronto. It was magical! Sunday I cleaned the house, baked brownies, and made a delicious dinner for myself before watching the AMAs. Here’s some of my fav tweets from the weekend.

Five upscale stores are making their debut in Canada: Microsoft, Tesla Motors, Ted Baker London, Kate Spade and Ann Taylor Loft.

I got a few goodies too, Scuba dress, bulldog scarf, I haven’t been to Yorkdale in ages and it’s really quite a lovely destination. Stop into the Ted Baker store this weekend for a chance to win a $2,500 shopping spree. Hellooooo!

U LAZY? TOO LAZY TO WIN LAZY SUPPORT? #thatslazy

It’s Thursday. It’s almost the weekend. I’m not really a lazy person but I love to laze I really do.. When I get home from work, especially in winter, I change out of my day clothes once I walk in the door, and slip into something, a little more confortable…

And when I say confortable, I mean something ACTUALLY CONFORTABLE. I have two pairs of LAZYPANTS and they are so cozy, the ‘ultimate in sweatpants technology’ for confort and style. In Toronto, you can them at Holt Renfrew, Leigh and Harlow, TNT, DEW, and they retail for $80.

I have a pair for you, one lucky man or woman.

Pick your own size and colour too, just for you.

HOW TO WIN:

Tweet/Link to a photo of WHY YOU NEED LAZY SUPPORT?

  • You must explain in 140 characters or less why you need some assistance with your laziness.
  • Props for creativity and using #thatslazy
  • One winner, picked FRIDAY 5PM. Pants to be sent next week.
  • Examples: Born lazy, broken leg, car in the shop, exhausted from training elephants, climbed a mountain, surfed all day
  • Must follow @thatslazy and @casiestewart on Twitter
  • Might post your image so, remember that.

Cat Daddy! Stella Boots from CAT Footwear

I tried to make a cat daddy GIF to go with this post but  failed ok. FAILED! I know there’s a photocopier in this one but the sun is so lovely at my desk when I arrive early.

These are my new boots from CAT footwear. TBH I had no idea they made stylish girl boots and when I recieved the email to pick a pair, I was instantly in love. The Stella, leather boot is available in black or brown for $249.99. There’s a few nice styles online at catfootwear.com. Thank you CAT for sending, feeling the love!

Check out CAT on Facebook/Pinterest here. I’m into this Earthmovers campaign they have goin’on.

Hope you are having a wonderful day. I just stopped into Dark Horse Cafe on Queen for a sandwich & coffee in the sun. It’s beautiful out!

City/Country: TED BAKER LONDON, TORONTO, CASIE

Beards and blazers, boys with long hair, fancy dresses, I can’t help but love the style of Ted Baker London. The first Canadian store in opens this weekend and I’ve been chosen as an Ambassador. I have such a heart on for this look, Royal country elegance.

The Ted Baker Blog is Muse & Views, they’re on Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Creative, classy, their AW 12 campaign is ‘Survival of the Fittest’ and they say things like ‘be a glitter bug in Ted.’ I love it. Good brand, good branding.

It’s a match made in heaven, romantic really.

Stop by the store Friday-Sunday for the weekend long, picnic in the woods celebration. During store hours, don’t show up late for a bonfire!  They’re giving away a $2,500 shopping spree, some other prizes, and treats.

Things I love are this collared sweater, blazer, and printed jeans. There’s some beautiful dresses for holiday, looking forward to trying THOSE on!

P.S. Ted Baker is totally into MOVEMBER.

 

Movember: #MOGASM Party at The Drake Hotel on Friday

Ladies & gents! #MOgasmTO is back for the third hairy year. Some friends and I launched this at The Gladstone Hotel back in 2010. This year we’ve got a bunch of fun things planned including Mark Shannon’s Photo Booth, musical guests, Speedboats & Big Explosions AND the launch of the official MoSistasTO 2013 Calendar. Caldar was shot by Kevin Luc and styled by Alison from King & Fox.

Last year I won a nailing contest (with hammer) and lost an arm wrestle.

There are awards for best moustache, auctions, and drinks. Come out Friday to THE DRAKE HOTEL after 8pm, have a drink, get a calendar. It will be great to see you. Everybody and their MO will be there 🙂

Make a donation to me or my team HERE. The link to order a calendar will be live SOON.
