As I post this the auditorium is filling up. Lots of smiles & laughs in the crowd. There are about 4000+ women here!
Lots of giveaways & goodies for the attendees. The list of prizes is awesome!
The book buying station is full of things to inspire & enlighten your life.
Excited to hear Susanne speak. She has written SO MANY books!
Reckon I’d like to read Ellen’s book. So excited for Ellen’s talk.
This is Kreayshawn, she’s up for a Video Music Award (VMA) as Best New Artist this year. Chatted her from LA last week and did an interview for PinkMafia. Read it here. She’s pretty badass, said “swaggatude”. Did a photoshoot with Anna Von & Lauren O’Nizzle “Kreayshawn style” the same night, it’s hot. Photos up tomorrow.
My dream is to have a sweet & lovely spot for all my clothes. I can feel Fall coming. So excited to bust out my new black leather jacker from Holts & amazing Triumph Dr. Martens boots. I’ve planned my lookbook already.
Something new on Twitter yesterday. Activity: like a newsfeed, so far I like.
Katiya and some other stylish brands have a Pop Up Shopsta. Have gift cards!!
My friends at Doll Bar on Queen Street have graciously offered all my peeps a 10% discount. Go there and get some feathers in your hair, bangs, or cute extensions. If you do send me a pic so I can post it!!
Mega lolz. O’Nizz posted last week when talking The Hoxton.
Look at THIS fffffff hipster. “Knox Jolie-Pitt wearing his Ray Bans and pirate hat and hook hand with an air of nonchalance that hipsters haven’t even thought possible. ” via Bohemia. Hahamazing.
That’s all for now. I’m at Power of Women event today at MTCC. Gonna be doing a live blog here and talking to speakers. Pretty stoked.ELLEN IS THERE OMG. Follow my Tweets at @casiestewart & @POWlive. Imma be so inspired by the end of the day. Beautiful out today, a little chilly but go on & make the most of it.
Thanks Amex for a great night. Journey was awesome live. A night to remember with a bunch of really good people. We got the star treatment from start to finish. Amex has been a good friend, remember last year’s Amex Canvas event when I won my lovely iPad Andy? Won tickets to Ke$ha last night too. Thanks team! Gotta work my way up to a Gold card. Hint hint 😉
Private dinner was in this lovely area on the water.
Thanks for this little guy. Now all I need is a trip & new luggage to match!
Short & sweet preso about the new Amex Gold Rewards Card. Lots of features, points & perks. Check out all the deets here.
Tweet wall was done really well. Put photos up with Tweets. Nice to see you Breanna!
Anyone know what band was playing on top of the Amex Lounge?
I met Erica Ehm aka Yummy Mummy Club & her lovely husband. She Tweeted our pic and said “here comes trouble“. She was very nice and I told her how I loved her on MuchMusic when I was a kid 🙂
Neat to Molson Amp. it so full them magically empty in a flash.
Turned out great cause we had food & beer service inside our lounge with a roof over head. Considering how hard it rained here & there, appreciated it heaps.
You get one glass like this to fill up with different beers. I had heaps of beer tokens and was the Suga Mama for my peeps. I surprisingly didn’t get drunk and was sober when I came home. Thankful for that. I’m growing up, clearly. I also love being Suga Mama.
My Converse at the start of the day. Crisp, white, cute.
My Converse now. Dirty, muddy, ruined.
Sheepdogs chilled in our lounge for a bit. ET Canada was there doing stories.
I love guys who look like Jesus. I’m not religious but that look has me hooked like Sunday morning.
Nice meeting you babes. You’re gonna be huge. These pix are for you Mum!! Told them about you 🙂
Fan girls.
(fatal attraction to cuteness)
Top of the Budweiser Big Rig! Spent lots of time on that thing last year at BudCamp. Saw a bunch of my BudCamp babes around too. Not confirmed if I’ll be there again this year.
Here comes the rain. We got drenched. It was AWESOME. Everyone was swayin’ in the crowd singing along to the Sheepdoggies. It was very rock-festivally.
Dear God, yes please.
With a side of bass.
Party on Wayne. Sheepdoggy Style.
Front row.
Shan, check that beardo brother in the background! haha Sick stache buddy. Whatever happened to the Beardo Brothers anyways? I loved those guys. (I checked, they’re like, old now.)
This is only a selection of photos I took of these guys. They are for my, uh, personal collection.
Wearing KINI was such a SMRT idea. Not my first rodeo festival.
The Trews! (How did I not know they were babes too? Duh.) I love rock n’ roll (Britney).
Thanks Jonathan for hooking up the CASIE discount code. About 120 people used it to get into Beerfest and it was a wicked time. Next year I’ll wear my Wellies.
Thanks to Jane @ Lomography in Toronto for sending these over. I guess the rest didn’t turn out. I reckon by the time I shoot through all my film I’ll have a few good shots. Fingers crossed.
Saturday night was opening of the Hoxton. we were told to be there early, but naturally, we rockd up closed to 11:30 and it was a mess. Cops all over the place, hipster hardcode lined up around the worker and the sidewalk covered in people.
We were on VIP Media list but that wasn’t going to help at the time. There were so many people at the time that nobody was getting in. Asked Zane if it was worth it and came to the conclusion we’re better off changing plans.
Wahhhhhh. Not Hox for these kids just yet. Media night is Aug. 31 so we’ll be there then.
Everywhere was packed and since we were with some travellers, Scottie. Ross & Andrew and The Australian, we stopped by the Backpackers Hostel for beers with the babes. I always wanted to check that place out anyways.
O’Nizz & I pretended we were travellers too and met this REAL CANADIAN. Bathrooms in that place are nasty.
PLANK GIRL.
Next stop TOTA so see some friends & DJs. This party don’ stop.
Was so smart of me to bring that fan.
Dance party.
We all hopped the fence at Scadding Court and joined a bunch of other hipsters for a late night swim. IT WAS AWESOME.
POOL PARTY!
Sammy & Ross are vets at pool hopping. They were at the massive pool hang at Christie pool a couple weeks back.
Everyone in their skivvies.
Peeps were chill in’ all over the place. Not posting that many pix cause there were some naked peeps and imma respect their bums.
Stopped by Beerfest Thursday for the media preview. Omg there was so much food & drink to be had. This was cookin’ in the grill house. Get grub there.
My big party day is tomorrow at Beerfest. We’ve got an awesome crew and the Social Lounge is where we’ll be. Planning to walk there for about 1pm and drink slow & steady all afternoon. Shrimp wrapped in bacon, dipped in something delish & battered in crushed chips.
This steak was gently placed on top of a butter infused baked potato. Divine.
Practically licked the plate, see! Thanks Labatt.
After I chowed down I biked to see the Arkells live in the parking lot by the SOHO. How cute is singer?
Heaps of peeps in the crowd. I was up front in media area where it wasn’t crowded. Thanks Samsung.
Friends were yelling to me from top of the balcony up there but I didn’t know that until I checked Twitter.
I can see my house. Have I told you how much I LOVE living downtown?
This guy was a babe too.
This guy was ________. Beige?
Missed The Midway State.
All hail the HAILWOOD tights copied by H&M. Knew this was coming.
Remember me rocking this style last year? NZ Designer Adrian Hailwood gifted me his signature & fab two toned tights last year at NZFW. Thanks Adrian! NZ has always been ahead of style in Canada.
Hailwood NZ.
I see boring. Oooh organic, zzzzzzzzz.
Not boring! Sammy & I went biking.
These neon bikes are all over the city now. City wide art project of awesome.
