DEFY: dare, face, challenge the power

DEFY: dare, face, challenge the power

Started using a new phone, Motorola DEFY from Telus. This thing is (almost) indestructible. The Motorola Defy™ with MOTOBLUR™ has a water-resistant, dustproof design, and a scratch-resistant display. Powered by Android 2.2 and available only from TELUS. I can also Create a Wi-Fi® hotspot to share internet with up to 8 devices (ipad, laptop). Camera is 5mp, only thing that would make it best phone yet would be front facing camera. I can swipe to text on the touchscreen which is pretty rad & surprisingly accurate. You know I’m hard on my gadgets and this phone is made for someone with a lifestyle like me. It’ made to be life proof. This is the commercial you may have seen on TV recently. Party looks fun eh.

finally found the magazine cover i was on in new zealand

finally found the magazine cover i was on in new zealand

This article ran last year after New Zealand Fashion Week about bloggers & how fashion’s front row is changing. I never did get a hard copy! The Tempo magazine is inside the NZ Herald that comes on weekends (I think!). One of my cousins got it delivered to her house. How awesome is that? Her Canadian cuz gracing the pages of her mail. Would love to get back to NZ this year for NZFW. Air NZ isn’t the travel partner so that puts a wee damper in getting there. I had the best time last year. See my coverage here. If you click the image will take you to article on stuff.co.nz. Have an awesome day!

Now, don’t get me wrong because there IS a difference.

Now, don’t get me wrong because there IS a difference.

I’m currently shopping on Dealuxe.ca to pick out an outfit for my talk on Thursday during Mashable Socal Media Day. Sign up here to come for the fun, there’s 250+ people coming already. Gonna be fun to see everyone. This skirt is cute too eh. Mum loves it. I’m also browsing EGOCLOSET to pick out something to review & while testing out their new online store. Thinking this uber cute Diamond Pocket Dress, Maxi Jumper or this Chifon tail dress. Loving those long flowy skirts & dresses. They were really popular in NZ last year & they are ALWAYS ahead in style down there. I love getting stuff in the mail, everyone loves mail.  The other day Keri & I came home feeling kinda blahhhh and my friends at Bud Light sent me a 12 pack just because they knew it was going to be a nice weekend. Thanks guys, it did make the weekend better and I appreciate it. Sometimes I wonder why I’m even talking about this…. should I keep quiet? Here’s the thing about blogging I don’t love: C.C Chapman wrote about it six months ago. The Mommy bloggers have been talking about it way before I brought it up,  good article on MomBlogMagazine about it here. PR email comes in about an ‘exciting’ new campaign that brand XX is launching. It is either a one day event or it spans several weeks but it is ‘perfect for my audience’. This is a what is called ‘Blogger Outreach’. The company knows from idea conception that they want to connect with bloggers although they bugdet nothing for the bloggers who are going to do a bunch of work. They know exactly who they are going to target because we are all on the same list.

i’m a model you know what i mean

i’m a model you know what i mean

Oh yeah. This week I’ve got a fashion show. Crystal Light contacted me and flattered me by  saying I’m a “leading Canadian fashionista and social media maven” then asked me to be in their fashion show for the Crystal Light Purse Challenge. I get to meet a personal shopper and have a shopping spree at Holt Renfrew. OMGaga. I love fashion & style as you know. Remember last year when I was hanging out with NYC’s finest in fashion Nicole Miller & Derek Fabulous. Other babes in the show are Anita Sharma, Valerie Stachurski, Karla Moy,  Erin Blaskie,  Lisa Charleyboy, & Cammi Pham. Fashion show takes place Tuesday at Design Exchange, Stacey Mckenzie preps me for the runway, then I do hair and make-up. Gonna be fun!

hi from the home of the fresh prince & cheese steak

hi from the home of the fresh prince & cheese steak

What a treck it was getting here. Three flight changes, none my fault. I was at the airport super early but then my plane was late, making me miss the connecting blah blah blah. You don’t care and neither do I. Over it. I’m in Philly now about to board my next flight to Florida, finally. There’s free wifi here, THANKS AT&T. Love that. Airports & hotels should have free wifi. You spend so much money to hang out & use their facilities the LEAST they can do is make is an enjoyable experience. Check out my desk, office anywhere I tell ya. Also wanna share with you this rad vid of my Kiwi designer friend Nick Von K (remember I told you about him before) who was recently in NYC hanging out with my NZFW crew Nicole Miller, Derek Fabulous & Venus Tong. I wasn’t able to make it but I flew Venus on Virgin from LA to get some pix (that I will aventually share with you!). Check the vid. I love his stuff. Got a press release about NZFW yesterday and it’s looking like it’s gonna be huge this year. Have an awesome day. Next update will be from my hotel room in Florida. Although I’m missing the dinner with all my friends, I’ve been told there will be a shiny bottle of vodka in my room. Ok gotta run. Hellooooo vacation!

I totally know her!

I totally know her!

The main reason I started blogging over five years ago was to keep more memories. Totes worked 🙂 Found all these babies on Google images. Self portrait in the park. Was spinning here to get the blurry background. Self photography – advanced class. The day I announced I was quitting my job to go work for CTV – MuchMTV. Shot by Lynsie Roberts for new Zealand Fashion Week press. Amex Celebrity painting thing with these fine babes. Also the day I won ipad Andy. New Zealand chatting the lovely Hannah at Nom D during Fashion Week. Here was shooting with Kelly Kruschel in Liberty Village. Marcel made an XBOX Theme of me. Party sponsored by Audi for Fashion Week in Toronto last year. I want to drive an Audi. I want to drive an Audi. I want to drive an Audi. I want to drive an Audi. Custom made silkscreen printed dresses from Peach Berserk – MMVAs 2010 & Love a Heart Auction 2011.
