Don’t You Ever Forget It, Your Awesomeness

Don’t You Ever Forget It, Your Awesomeness

This weekend is SPRING CLEANING. I’ve been talking about it with Sean for weeks and since the weather is URGHH, I’ve decided to make the most of it my making our house more ‘home’. I was really stoked to open the cottage but safety takes the cake and a freezing rain warning is enough to put a stop to us going North.  Today I destroyed a disaster that had been piling up and organized my entire wardrobe. Took three bag of clothes to Value Village (VV Boutique) and didn’t hold back. I find purging my stuff is addictive, I start to care less and less about ‘things’ and if I need to, I take photos to remember. They take up less space. Online storage is cheaper than a unit too! Threw out a lambskin leather jacket from Holt’s I’ve been ‘planning to fix’ for two years, I hope someone great finds it.

How great is this shirt from Bow& Drape? Who wants one? You can actually make your own but mine is so freaking sweet! It’s sequins actually! Stumbled upon this brand randomly (Pinterest?) and got this stunna.

Found these babies when I was cleaning along with a TON of other jewellery. Good luck, good rings, good reminders. I was trying not to have a heart attack the last few days because I ‘misplaced’ the vintage Tiffany’s silver pearl necklace Sean got me for Christmas, but I found it. Thank god, I can’t even.

Took the EmBot to Target, she loves Target? I’m not realllly sure why. Her boots were dirty and gross so I told her I’d get her new kicks. She picked these Converse style ones like me. Gave her this Blue Jays hat and she wanted to wear it to the side. I didn’t style her but how freaking cute is he? Dying, such  lil’ babe this kid. Love her.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend. I’ve got lots more work to do. If by chance you have a room to clean like me, JUST DO IT, you will feel so good. Clean your room and put fresh sheets on your bed. There is nothing like a great sleep in a fresh clean bed!

Don’t forget your awesomeness. Love and light my friends,

Our Toronto on CBC | The Influencers w/ Dianne Buckner

This week I shot a segment for a show on CBC with the host of Dragons Den, Dianne Buckner. The show is CBC’s ‘Our Toronto’ and it airs nationally across Canada Saturday, Sunday, and Monday mornings. A segment from this very ‘Our Toronto’ episode also appeared on The National at 6pm & 11pm over the weekend.

It’s safe to say I am completely exhausted. The last few weeks have been super busy and fashion week really takes a lot outta ya. I’ve got nothing planned but staying in the house and not socializing one but this weekend. My batteries need recharging!

Last night was Untitled&Co’s first fashion show and it was great. I’ll do a full post on it when the photos roll in. I took Sean as my date and we had a lovely night together. We had dinner at Hawker Bar on Ossington then hit the after party at Libertine on Dundas.

I worked with Cameron one of the 2 designers to produce GelaSkins for the gift bags with his designs on them. They’ll be up in our web store soon. I have the WIFEY one which Sean thought was hilarious because it’s got Courtney on it.

Dad is in New Zealand and getting married in a few hours. Oh how I wish I was there to see the wedding and have a fam jam! They’re going to the Coromandel Peninsula  after which is one the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.  Look at this, gah!

I’ll be dreaming of this place for the rest of the day now. Beach and sunshine please! Cheers to the freakin’ weekend.

SPRING It ON!

SPRING it ON! Cottage here we come!

Oh hey it’s Thursday and almost the weekend! Had a blast at fashion week last night with my bestie but more about that later. Busy day!

Some exciting things coming up for next week but for now all I can think about is jumping in the car after work tomorrow and heading up to the cottage! I’ve been waiting months for this and I am dyyyyyyying to get up there and away from the city.

Remember this …

Heaven is a place on earth with you 🙂

Travel With Style | Rain or Shine

Travel With Style | Rain or Shine

It seems a little ironic that I’m posting a video called ‘Travel with Style’ while I am clearly  sitting at my desk. However, the video is by my favourite other Casey  in the world on the Internet, a YouTube film maker consistently doing cool things. This video is a partnership with J.Crew for a new suit. I love his work because he takes woking with brands to a new level of awesome, creating experiences that fit with his brand/lifestyle.

Travel With Style – Casey Neistat for J.Crew

Today I’m ‘travelling in style’ to the WMCFW tents (in the rain). My top is from Philistine Toronto on Queen and my fancy Hudson’s Bay phone case is a partnership w/ GelaSkins & The Bay.  Tonight I’m wearing the Sevan cape by Trout Rainwear. It fits much bigger than I thought, reckon I might have to switch it for a smaller size. Super cute though! Remember, rain is no excuse for not looking cute.

 These are my fav little rain boots. At the coffee shop everyone stopped to check them out. Any by everyone I mean all the old men at the Coffee Time. 🙂

Enjoy the day. Remember you are never going to be younger than you are today, do something awesome.

WMCFW | Shows, Street Style, Something Different

Well, it's WMCFW again! Here's my recap from Day 1 at the tents! Coco Rocha was there and there was a prosthetic leg on the runway. WHOA!

Last night kicked off World MasterCard Fashion Week in TO. It’s always fun seeing everyone show up and it feels like the first day back at school seeing all your fashion friends in one place. I started my evening at The Shore Club for the preview of Piloti by StyleBox. Especially loved the carnivore Club box of meats in the gift bag. You can bet Sean was happy when I arrived home with that, ha!

Highlights from WMCFW Day 1

WMCFW Street Style Day 1

I absolutely LOVE Line Knitwear.  It’s hard not to really. The colours and angora in this collection makes me want to wear everything at once. My old friend Natalie used to be roomies with John Muscat of Line Knitwear back when I first moved to Toronto, I wasn’t really in the fashion scene back. That reminds me, I have a gorgeous Line blazer I really need to bust out when the weather warms up, if it ever does! Urghhhhh!

Line Knitwear WMCFW FW14

One of the cool things I saw at VAWK was Sunny Fong partnered with the Alleles,  winners of the Design Exchange’s recent Emerging Designer competition. They specialize in intricate covers for leg prosthetics and it was the first time I’d seen something like this on the runway!  (Photo via BlogTO read more here.)

I won’t be at the tents tonight as I’m meeting the Cuisinart crew to plan our next episode. I can’t wait to get my hands on a juicer! I’ll be back tomorrow for Pink Tartan and Joe Fresh sharing what’s happening from back stage with Maybelline and also the runway.

Soak up some sunshine out there, it’s gonna be nasty again tomorrow!
