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.

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 🙂

THE STATE OF THE INTERNET

Good morning! Another scorcher out there today. Drink lots of water!  I’ve got a meeting at Spoke and later this afternoon the Doc Martens Fall Preview. I’m stoked for that. Mama wants a new pair o’ shoes! This monster is so cute.

For the last year I’ve worked on my own and had the opportunity to do some pretty awesome things. I’ve been really thinking about joining a team, having a full time job.  I wanna share the things I’ve learned with a cool company. I miss contributing to a group and sharing ideas with people. You now I’m social! If you have an idea, shoot me an email. I’m not exactly sure what I want to do but I like the idea of working with a startup or a cool product.

Have you seen this wicked infographic Mashable posted about the state of the internet? It’ds rad. First time embedding HTML5 on my blog too. Nerd love. (I think you have to click to make it work. It’s interactive!)

State of the Internet 2011

OnlineSchools.org /onlineschools.org

 

This is also interesting. Are we in a tech boom or a tech bubble? I love infographics.

I also  found this fun site yesterday with the most comprehensive list on Internet Slang ever. Ok, gotta run! Have a stellar day. Remember you are younger today than you will be tomorrow, do something fun.

hosting a heat wave in your honor

I love coming home to this city. Missed you Toronto.  Our flight was almost twice as long as usual due to changed flight pattern because of major thunderstorms near Toronto. There was heaps of turbulence.

Man it is super duper hot here, eh? Warmer than Boston I reckon and surely more humid. First time we’re turned on the AC all summer.

  Tonight is the Panel on Panels at MaRS. Are you coming? I blogged about it here.  Hope to see you. It’s gonna be fun fun fun 🙂
