some people claim that there’s a woman to blame…

But I know…. this Margaritaville place is PRETTY AWESOME.

My office is here till Saturday.

Chantelle too.

Roof pool beside the ocean. You can hate me now, but I won’t stop now.

Our room is gorgeous…

…and beach front.

Mural wall with waves & beach on it. Photos on that baby tomorrow.

I am so excited to be here. Today I had fried green tomatoes!

And obvs a couple of these babies 😉

Shower to the left is big, open & glass.

Copy of this in every room.

TOLD YOU I WAS A MERMAID.

SUN LOVE.

your chariot awaits ladies

Looked out the window and saw this big thing downstairs waiting for us. OMG.

Yeppers, that big fancy limo was for Chantelle & I. Big thanks to Calvin & Regency Limo for setting up the most awesome airport delivery ever. I had never been in a limo before so I was absolutely buzzing with excitement! Chantelle has been lucky enough to ride in a limo in the past when her friend hired a limo service newark
for her 30th birthday. She was still excited to travel like a celeb though!

Our driver Andrew even got us coffee. LOVE YOU! It was 5:30am, so necessary!

Was kinda like a wild disco in there. If you wanna book one like us ring 416-785-1222. Tell them we’re friends.

Sunrise was real pretty this AM. I should wake up earlier more often. I really love mornings.

Made it through airport security no prob. They let me take glitter too 😉

Weeeeeeee moving sidewalk: walk, walk, fashion baby.

I LOVE YOU ICE CREAM shirt.

Sadly, no Timmies on the USA side. Wahhh.

GLITTER GRAFITTI @ YYZ. Borderline artistic strikes again.

I would like to watch this show.

Flying in to Atlanta. Man, it was hot there. Hot-lanta, I get it.

Big thanks to Telus & Motorola for my phone & great mobile service. I love you.

Wifi onboard? OMG THAT’S ME, INTERNET!

P.S. The big yellow bag I have and all my other fav purses are Nella Bella & they are having a SAMPLE SALE on Thursday at the Studio 401 Richmond. Info below. GO get yourself something nice!

early bird gets_______________up the earliest.

I’m up earlier than ever today. Earliest blog post ever? Probably not but possibly.

I got up an hour earlier than I needed to for the airport so now I am laughing hysterically at myself. Kidding. Not. Totally not kidding.

I hope you have an awesome day. I will be in Pensicola Florida this afternoon. Hope you had fun sleeping. I’m itching for new tattoo. Are you allowed to bring glitter on an airplane? It’s not liquid or gel. We will find out today. Drinking Vitamin Water & had an Airborne (Hi Bob!). That stuff is awesome when traveling.

Ok go time. Bye! next stop, Maragritaville 🙂

yesterday on twitter, this happened: some stuff.

Here again. Ping Pong party party. Didn’t stay long.

AMSTERDAM BLONDES.

dear blog, today i did this. love casie

Stopped by the park after a meeting today. Was real pretty, hot & relaxing.

Stopped into Bicyclette. Noticed my tan is getting serious. WEAR SUNSCREEN.

Paige I would like to read this book. Thought it was for sale! Book is all stories from author “Dear [company] about his life, him being over qualified. Basically, how cover letters are BS. Inspiring blog posts in the making here.

This is what I got. It’s handmade in Bolivia.

Look who it is! My babe Lynsie Roberts photography.

The shop is so damn cute. Every time I go there I wanna get like 10 dresses.

I want this next time.

Was on hunt for a patio where you can get mani/pedi AND have a beer. There isn’t one. I went to 10 SPot which was totally lovely. They have wifi so I could work & get nails done. Total win!

Me, working.

The result! I will deff be back. Hope we can chat about working together. Having a go-to nail tech would be AWESOME. The lovely babe who did my nails was a total sweet. Thank you!

Dinner tonight then I really have to pack for this work trip. Clean clothes mountain is resting on my bed. Meh, that can wait, too many things to be excited about including sunshine & warm weather.

some things i love (right now)

Sun on the face & warm air when I roll outta bed and go to balcony. First thing I do is check phone, get up, check computer, grab camera, go outside.

The Lake, the Airport, the many people on their travels to work.

This vintage Lion Breweries New Zealand Olympic Team shirt that was Mum’s. Buckler Men’s undies. SO COMFY (even if you don’t have a package to fill them out but probably more comfy if you do).

Have been using some really great products lately and figured it was about time I share with you. I always test things out for a before I tell you about them and I only talk about what I like [DISCLAIMER].

You’ll notice I enjoy products that don’t have too much scent, are clean feeling & soft on the skin.

L-R:

  • Dermaglow Oil Free Cleanser – soft on face, gentle, hardly no scent
  • Dermaglow Daily Moisturizing Lotion – soft, no smell, clean feeling
  • Dermaglow Wringle Release Serum – see how young I look? Yeah. Use it all the time.
  • Goldwell Ultra Volume Leave-In Boost Spray – good volume, doesn’t make hair icky or greasy
  • Cheeky Monkey Nailpolish in Party Whore – Yes, that’s the real name. Colour is my fav!
  • Redken UV Body Rescue – Stuff is amazing is you love sun like me. Treats skin post tanning & has a soft glistening glitter.
  • Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Antiseptic Cream – MOSQUITO BITES. I hate them. Lotion is cool & soothing w/ tingle.
  • Givenchy Play – Smell is soft, feminine & good for summer. Bottle is metal so great for travel, throwing in purse etc.
  • Givenchy Blush Gelee – Hot pink jelly blusy, one colour for all skin tones. First blush I’ve used on regular.
  • The Body Shop Body Butter Duo in Vanilla – Your skin is happy when you moisturize, this is soft and I really love the smell. It’s not too strong.
  • Ombrelle Face Cream SPF 60 – Your face is your fotune baby, protect it.

That’s all for now. Have an exciting lunch meeting about being a guest editor of something fashion related (CRYPTIC). Evening is dinner w/ an old friend & tomorrow I’m off to Florida for a brand consultation (work). I would like to do more work outside Toronto. Throwin’ it out there y’know!

P.S. New Zealand’s most famous sheep has died. Rest in peace Shrek buddy.

“WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND—New Zealanders are mourning the loss of the country’s most famous sheep. The shaggy icon named Shrek was renowned for avoiding being shorn for years.”

yeah baby i wanna party with you.

You know I love Gaga. I’ve told you a bunch of times before. Remember the MMVAs last year? Kingi from Peach Berserk made me a custom dress with all the big performers on it: Bieber, Katy, Drake, Miley.  I was excited.

I worked with some really great people at Much & MTV last year, the MMVA experience is very memorable. My job was Social Media Queen and it was super fun to say the least.  Blog post from MMVA Day 2010 is here.

I’ve got a couple things planned for MMVA weekend this year. One is a party w/ Gaga’s DJ, Lady Starlight. 🙂

Starlight will be rocking The Velvet Underground (510 Queen St West) after the MMVA’s June 19 in Toronto. Doors open at 11.

I have a list. Do you want to be on it?

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

This is me like errry single day. “Hey guys, I’m on the internet. So are you!”

Great: Bob Marley on how to love a woman (via tumblr)

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”

– Bob Marley

Music Monday: Tracks from my fav girl DJs KISSETTEDownload & dance baby.

No I’m not speaking but one day I will be. This is me imagining how great it feels to look out to a crowd of people. It feels pretty good. I’m ready for it.
