Had a lovely weekend with Mum. Brekky waffles were to die for. Heading back to the city. Tomorrow is my last day cruising in this Infiniti G37. I absolutely LOVE this car.

Time to hit the open road in the sunshine!

You are the author of your own life story, make it an adventure! Have fun. Call your Mum and tell her you love her. Heck, call someone else’s Mum too while you’re at it!

Enjoy the day!

This Is Me In Grade Nine Baby

20120511-232343.jpg

Theres a girl here and I know I went to highschool with her. She looks like the saddest girl in the world.

I don’t think she recognizes me, maybe she never did. She was older than me, popular, sexy.

I would totally say hi, but it feels so highschool.

There’s No Place Like Home

Good morning from Cambridge, Ontario! I’m up early at Mum’s to do a wee bit of work. It’s going to be a lovely day. Sun is shining bright. I’m a bit slower at using this Dell Ultrabook than Mac but it’s good. Soon as I arrived yesterday, Mum and I went cruising to all kinds of places like my old dance studio, modelling studio, visiting old friends, old work and finally through Langdon Hall Country House Hotel. Some family friends live up the street and we used to run around the back forrest and play there when we were kids. Mum had a chuckle as we left cause a young man who worked there came out and invited us inside as soon as I pulled up. It was really cute.

Check out this old photo. I was a teen model/actress many moons ago.

Dad is on his way, in a really rad car I’m sure and we’re going cruising then for brekky. I’ve got lunch with a friend in Kitchener and then heading to see a band later. If you are in the area and wanna hang out, LMK. I absolutely love driving this G37, it’s got some real attitude!

Dad just pulled up in a 1932 Ford English wide model.We think it’s the only one in Canada. GOTTA GO!

To be thirty. I’m ready to embark on a new decade with even more enthusiasm than ever before.

My sister and I are sitting in the window at Factory Girl laughing and crying as we turn the pages of Dear Photograph. It came out yesterday and is the perfect gift to give your mama this weekend. Give a box of kleenex too. It will remind you that life is short and you need to make the most of ever single day because you will be old and the days will be gone before you know it.

Twitpic New App for iPhone

I downloaded it last night. Here’s some screenshots. It has potential. It’s very ‘Instagrammy’ which is not surprising given it’s popularity. Facebook s adding filters to FB photos any day now. Twitpic was the first and most popular app for Twitter years ago. I have 2,697 photos at twitpic.com/photos/casiestewart.

20120507-230630.jpg

Select photo, roll for brightness, select filters. Crop, rotate, share.  It’s all quite & easy, see time stamps.

20120507-230644.jpg

Final product, flipped, filtered & added banner. I like the date stamp on this one.

20120507-232629.jpg

These two are edited with Camera+ for iPhone. Good app for fixing crap photos or ones with bad lighting.

These are two of my fav photos from Instagram last night. Follow me on IG at followgram.me/casiestewart

What are your thoughts on the Twitpic app? I think Twitpic will get a LOT of users is they beat Instragram to Blackberry. People still use Blackberry right?! haha.

Have an awesome day!

Toronto Fashion Incubator 25th Anniversary at the ROM

Thanks Spiro for this lovely shot of me & Nancy from Peacock Parade. She’s wearing Greta Constantine. My dress in vintage black suede from Timeless Apparel and jewels are from Swarovski. I love this collar, it was a hit. Sadly, I have to return them to the head office today.

I absolutely loved the jackets by Jameson Kane in the TFI New Labels show. Winner was Sid Niegum which wasn’t much of a surprise to me. Patrick L’Arrivee had some awesome avant garde style with nylon & hats. Loved it. Very gaga-esque. Runway Photos: Owen McLeod, The Style Lense. I was socializing & trying to ignore the hurt caused by my 6′ shoes.

See full coverage of the event on It’s All Style to Me.

In other fashion news, last week I was Trump Toronto for the premiere of the first short film from Greta Constantine called ‘From Sketch to Runway‘. It’s now online. watch it.

Stay stylish my friends,
