Happy Sunday. Just got back from my hot tub in the Sky Lounge. I like to think of it as ‘vacation station’.
We just ventured to T&T w/ Barbie in the car cause Sammy is cooking dinner. Did you know we he a Professional Chef? He does private dinners.
Well that was fun & successful. One last stop at Loblaws and we are good. Stoked for Gervais hosting the Globe’s tonight! Sam is making lamb and some other stuff. I’m so hungry.
I love this photo. Took it today as soon as I got home from the airport using the 360 app on iPhone. I find this city so beautiful to come home to.
Have you heard of Pigeon John? Khayyamm always has good tunes and I was introduced to him when we were in Sin City last week. He’s not really a gangsta’ and neither am I.
I came all the way home TO THE FREEZING COLD in Havaianas. Crazy woman! Packed socks in my bag so I was warm on the plane but couldn’t not be bothered to get other shoes just to run to the car. I was tired and lazy.
My ankle is really swollen and my foot hurts. I have an old injury from about five years ago that is painful every now & then (love that movie). Urghhhh. I did however. spend the entire day on the couch (the internet). I’m doing hot/cold on it and have a castor oil compress for the night (thanks Mum!).
I’m always stoked to check the mail when I get home from work/vacation. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with a bunch of jewellery I ordered from Etsy (late one night) and a box with the warmest, wooly, winter slippers EVER. They’re called Glerups and they’re from Denmark with a lovely family story about how they’re made. Glerups are made from 100% natural wool. Swoooooooon!
Being Kiwi I’ve had wool slippers before but never as fancy as these. (I feel Mum is going to ring once she reads this saying she needs a pair!) Check out other styles (men, women, slipper, shoe) at Gerlups.ca. I got the black Women’s Slipper that retails for $99 CAD. I’ve been wearing them since I got ’em! They are SO incredibly warm. Thanks for sending Sadie!
Love this blog foudre.co, it’s full of beautiful fashion photos. One of the reasons I really love tumblr is there are so many passionate fashion bloggers lovers & brands there (McQueen, Vogue). Pre-Fall collections are coming out now and I love, love pre-fall. It’s that romantic time between hot & cold where you can go bare legs but still match a scarf & coat. There’s so much variety that time of year. Accessory heaven. This image is from Foudre & is Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2012.
I wish I was heading to Germany for Berlin Fashion Week. I’ve got friends there I REALLY want to visit. I love Fashion Week season. New York SS 2012 Fashion Week is Feb. 9-17 which is also Social Media Week, Valentines, and the Toronto Auto Show. I’m in a charity auction for Heart & Stroke Feb.9th (Love a Heart), have to be at Auto Show (and am on a panel SM Week Feb. 17th. I would love to scoot to NY for a couple days to catch a few shows & meet up with fashion blog friends from around the world. Hmmmmm….?
Last pic in the hotel before Leaving Las Vegas. Classic movie. My hair is slowly growing crazy, crazy growing slowly. Hurry up. Gelatin will make you hair & nails grow fast. Buying Jello tomorrow. Whenever I’m in the USA people always stop & compliment my hair. It’s unique there I guess. I see cute short haired blonde girls in Toronto and on the internet all the time so it always catches me off guard. Roots are quite popular too. Getting them done by Darren Kwik this week.
The night before I left was CRAZY. When I got to the door at TAO I gave the word I was here and a tall hot VIP host named Logan walked me through the crowd to the private party. (Exactly how I imagined it should would be in Vegas TBH.) I remember always ready about Paris Hilton hanging out there. Thanks NextGen & my friends for a fun night. Met some rad people. The dance floor was insane, so crowded. I only went there for 5 minutes at a time before scurrying back to bottle service. I don’t care if that sounds snobby, it was awesome and I was livin’ it up. Check out this dancing girl covered in neon body paint. Shake that!

There are these huge faces of CT all over the Luxor for his show. He creeps me out. Bonga is kinda obsessed with him. (I hope he reads this HAHA!) I did not gamble or see any shows the entire time I was in Vegas. I did make it to Spearmint Rhino for a lap dance from a lovely shoe model. It’s like one of those things you just have to do.
While wastng time before the airport I wandered into a little shop in the hotel and met this charming babe, Shahar from Argentina/Israel. I love that Israeli accent. I have a thing for accents, in general actually.
He gave me a facial. No jokes, like, a really nice expensive one. It was so relaxing and the perfect way to cap off three days in Sin City. See that Gold Age Treatment for $2,500? Had that all over my young, little face and brought home a few other products too.
Have you been to Argentina? Remember that babe I met in Mexico from there? How could anyone forget. Muy caliente! jajaja
I’m sure I’ll be back to LV one day for something. See the pyramid in this photo? That’s where I lived.
Quite content to be back home on Toronto. On Friday I head to Boston for the weekend! Did you see that Olivia Chow crashed a conference today? I love her and live in her riding. I blogged about conference crashing this week at CES.
Listen to what she says about Jack near the end.
Happy weekend everyone! How’s your 2012 going? Good? Gooooooood! That’s what I like to hear. You know what else I like to hear? And play on repeat? Le weekend tune of course!. This week’s tune is brought to you by Buraka Som Sistema, an electronic amazing dance party beast of a group from Portugal. Just last night they played Wrongbar and me oh my was it crazy. Like… so crazy. Like… I only just woke up right now crazy. Yeah. Crazy.
So here’s a little something to both cure your hangover from last night and getting you going this evening. It’s “Hangover (BaBaBa)” by Buraka Som Sistema…
Enjoy!

Had a photo shoot on the strip today with Canadian photog Taylor Jackson. Noticed a bit of a trend eh! There were more drunken Disney characters that I didn’t snap. The man in the Minnie Mouse is a sure way to scare some kids. Saw a leprechaun midget on a mic too. Count on hearing “only in Vegas”? About a million.
Thinking we should do a drunken Disney parade some time. I’m guessing there is nothing Walt’s company can really do about it! Mooohahahaha.
Leaving for the airport soon and will be home tomorrow. Toronto I love & miss you <3 xo
* Taylor snapped that creep shot w/ iPhone 🙂
Seriously.
Vegas is crazy. I tried to stay home last night but went to the CES closing party w/ NextGen & some friends at TAO. What a fun time. My tweets tell the whole story… @casiestewart
Have a photoshoot I am rushing to get to right now. I really hope I don’t get delayed by snow on my way home. Back in TO tomorrow.

I’m sitting here in the sun. It’s lovely.
Hi from CES in Vegas! I’m sitting in the live audience of What’s Trending in the Venetian Ballroom right now. Some of my friends at Microsoft knew I would be here and wanted to share some gadgets with you guys. Before I left home Microsoft gave me a fancy soft touch mouse. I have it to Barbie cause she just got a new computer with Windows 7.
Microsoft wants to let you know about The Art of Touch Contest going on with the chance to win sweet prizepacks every week from Dec 5 – February 26. You have to create a piece of art on the website artoftouch.com.
I have two of the Microsoft Touch Mouse valued at $79.95 for YOU! Leave a comment before tomorrow when I leave CES and I will random pick two winners.
