jaunting about.
So many photos from last night. Was a great time. Stayed at the SoHo with about 30 other writers, & notables for a staycation with jaunt.ca. It was really fun. Thanks to the Jaunt team for spoiling us. You’re great.
First time staying there. Rooms are nice and so is the service. Thank you.
Our night started with cocktails & deserts. Tasty treats. Mostly ate fruit & strawberries dipped in white or spicy dark chocolate. Please adopt me SoHo. I want to live in you.
Limos to the gallery.
Hi kids.
Welcome to Neubacher Shore Contemporary for a private gallery tour.
Cute outfit.
Nice to hang out with Julian & Sam.
Bonga calls me Sam too. Samuel.
Nice dress SNP. Kitty matched Julian. Long skirt love.
I’d like to own a gallery when I grow up.
Interactive.
Went for dinner after this. It was so many courses. Save that for another day!
“ It is human nature to think wisely and act foolishly. ” Anatole France
Was introduced to Merkley on Flickr yesterday. His photos are awesome! Gonna try & get some good ones like this at the hotel tonight. So far exciting day. Hope yours is too.
Oh, by the way. Guess what I’m getting next week…
A NEW BOYFRIEND!
He’s gonna make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world. Our blind date is Monday at 10:30am. Practically an arranged marriage cause I know I’m going to love him.
* got title from Forbes Magazine after this article about Klout from their CEO. Good read!
something really special (about my bed)
Got something really, really neat in the mail yesterday. Any guesses?
A cape? A toga outfit? Nope…
Au Lit Fine Linens sent me 100% Egyptian Cotton Linens with MY NAME ON THEM!
Did I ever have a great sleep last night.
In August they have a White Sale: UP TO 50% OFF entire store!
Downtown stores are:
- Au Lit Fine Linens: 2049 Yonge Street, Toronto
- Au Lit Outlet: 2045 Yonge Street, Toronto (Great deals)
- LIV by Au Lit: 418 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto (Home & Fashion)
In other news…
These are the old Docs I took back the other day.
See the eyes on the front are not attached to the actual shoe? Docs don’t wear out that often but (if you have been reading this blog for a while) you know I am hard on things. I put everything through the “Casie Stewart: this is my life” test which is heaps of use and lots of wear. I’m REALLY great at testing products, especially electronics & clothes. (HINTY HINT)
The things about Docs is they last forever. The shop on Queen Street kindly replaced my pair with a shiny new set of boots. When Fall rolls around I’ll be rockin’ them with that sexy leather jacket I picked up from Holts during the Crystal Light Challenge.
Tonight I’m staying at the SOHO Hotel with a friend courtesy of Jaunt.ca and tomorrow Keri and I are doing the Volkswagen Driving Tour. I’m gonna zip around in a TDI. Vroooooooooooooooom.
Gonna be a great weekend! Happy FRIDAY!
* Dr. Martens didn’t ask me to write this. I just LOVE THEM! ALWAYS WILL XOXO
my favourite vintage shop brings all the ladies
My fav vintage shop is CTS at Queen & Spadina. I’m the Foursquare Mayor (nerd) and that’s also where The Australian works. Yesterday was a very special day. I rolled up there to deliver an ice cream cone and the boys were just about to have a photoshoot.
No shoes. So Australian, ha!
Cool stuff here.
Good on ya.
Must have a hat!
Hi lovely.
Too funny. The vintage stuff is on the back. Don’t buy it all, I need some! J.K. the store gets new stuff all the time.
Enjoy the day. Stay cool out there!
COOL THINGS HAPPENING.
Our city is full of really rad things to do. Did you know that the pool at Bathurst & Dundas is free and open till midnight? It was packed last night. Last night was also super hot. I went for a bevy with cute boy and he brought a water gun. Gentlemen, do this. It’s cute and fun and very practical during this extreme heat wave. Look at this happy face 🙂
July 26th – Art Battle Sweet 16
Have you ever been to an Art Battle? It’s competitive paint battling! This round they have 16 painters and it is going to be exciting. Last one I went to was AB:11. The great Hall gets packed with painters and it’s quite a site to see. I recommend you check it out. Facebook deets here.
Parkdale Bazzar: Wolfie Prints Sale
My friend Nicole (you will see her at Peach Berserk) has a rad Etsy store (you know I lvoe Ets). The shop is called Wolfie Prints and it’s a collection of original hand drawings on clothing and paper. She is park of the Parkdale Bazzar, Saturday, July 23 from 11am-5pm at Parkdale Town Square.
This is my fav shirt of hers, the Sugar Skull Tee.
One more cool thing! Rule Britannia!
My friends at Bangs&Blush wrote about this night for Shirk Mag.
Dr. Martens Fall Preview 2011
Oh hey there. Mama loves new shoes! Last night I cruised by the Fall Preview of Dr. Martens. I’ve been a Docs lover since primary school so it’s awesome to be invited to check this out. I took all these photos cause I love the shoes. My fav ones right now are Eclectic in white canvas & Triumph 14 Eye.
Get ready for some serious shoe pr0n…
For the stylish & sophisticated wearer.
Love these bad boys. Real fur. Imagine the comfort & snuggles for your feet.
I have those Triumphs on the right but with tartan inside.
Jay Strut is in el-oh-vee-eee with these ones.
That’s Doug in the background, International Sales Manager. He gets to wear Docs errry day!
We were at the Sheraton, 30, miles stories high.
Constantly distracted by things that are shiny.
The classics. Carly needs the pink ones.
I had saddle shoes as a kid. I still do 🙂
I forget that these are called but rockabilly guys with the James Dean look wear them. I dig it.
These ones are all pretty classy looking. I’m impressed with the wide range of shoes they have. They are really well made and versatile. The really tall 20 inch boots make me want them.
You know what this smells like? Real nice leather.
You know what this smells like? Nothing. Vegan leather.
Paisley.
These babies are my fav style.
These are nice too. I would go ona date with a cute boy based on him wearing these. *take note
Industrial manufacturing. ILU.
Got soul?
This warmed my little nerd heart. DR. MARTENS USB! J’adore.
Let’s not forget I taught Doug how to PLANK. Great form my friend!
He learned from the best. Plank Girl!
The team hooked us up with a gift cert for a new pair of Docs when these awesome styles come out in the Fall. THANK YOU! I’m a Doc lover for lyfeeee. What are your favs?

Panel on Panels at MaRS in Toronto
Last night’s panel discussion on panel discussions (meta) went really well. I was happy to chat a few people after who said they really learned something. Thanks to Johnny Bunning aka @emanintdot for snapping this photos of us. I forgot to get someone to take a few shots. Doh!
I love sharing things I’ve learned over the past few years. I’ve learned heaps about blogging, the social web and building your personal brand. I’ve been invited to speak at the She’s Connected Conference in the Fall that brings together all kinda of females in business. Hope to speak at more conferences in the coming year. I’m a natural on stage!
Although I love vacation, I really love working and it’s great to be back at my home office. It’s been a busy day with lots of phone calls. Planning some cool stuff for the next month. I wanna get in as many things as I can before the summer is over. I love this heat too. No chance of complaints from this lady!
I watched this again and I feel like Optimism Girl today. If you’re not smiling, you will be after you watch this. Enjoy the day 🙂
