coming home, nothing quite like it mama.

Mmm, donut & coffee.

What a trip. Getting to Florida isn’t that difficult. I’ve been blessed with great travel the last year so this time, when I encountered delay, after delay, I wasn’t too upset. (Except when I cried on the way there and missed a fancy dinner with my sister & friends.)

This was leaving Florida, good sign I reckon, C8. My fav number is 8.

Picked up Fast Company (mostly because of the Conan cover) and learned about these rad wooden surf boards.

I love surfing. I love the ocean. I love summer. I love…affirmation girl?

Bye bye beachy. Mama loves Miami.

Home, wahhh. Get me off this thing… just kidding. Look, something shiny out the window.

REMEMBER THIS.

The reason I picked up Fast Company aside from Conan was this article “The 100 Most Creative People in Business”. I strive to be here one day.

Jack Dorsey, (one of the Twitter Founders) is #4 on the list. He is a cool guy. Listened to a few of his talks. There’s a couple good ones on itunesU from Stanford.

I totally love Conan. He is so funny, combine that with his divine creativity and you’ve got a whole lot of awesome. I reckon he’s a cool Dad. Does he have kiddios?

Alex Kipman from Microsoft (brain behind Kinect) made the list too. I would LOVE a Kinect. So fun. I kick ass at the dancing game. Challenge me anytime!

I was quite inspired to see a few companies I’ve worked with recently on the list. Christian Parks the Global Marketing Cheif @ Levis. Read my article about ‘Crafting Your Personal Brand‘ on Levis here.

Tonight is the Pepsi Throwback Retro Tweetup. I’m pretty stoked to have about 200 friends & media together for a few hours. Got some prizes etc to give away too. Oh, on that note, Pepsi’s Global Director of Social Media, B.Bonin Buogh made the list too.

I ate a sprinkle donut then one showed up in the mag. Whoa! The avg America eats 34/year. Fatties!

It was very beautiful when I landed in Montreal (not that I went outside). I had to rush to make my flight, boarded at 5:29 when my flight left at 5:30. Last one on the plane, thank god. However, we sat on the tarmac for 40 mins. I watched Modern Family, show is so damn funny.

This thinger is cool. Moves the cartons across on wheels.

Montreal Boyfriend.

By the time I landed in Toronto I was tired & felt so nasty. I was en route from 11am in FLA to about 9:45 when I landed in YYZ. Crikey!

Checked the mail @ home & was happily surprised to see my Phoenix arrived from Etsy & Tiffany at Prickelfish Studios. Love it!

So good to be home. Excited for the party tonight!

a monument to celebrate the memory, memorial.

Weather has been so lovely. It’s so weird to not blog. I took a break but I missed you internet. I’m addicted to sharing.  Hollywood, Florida woo hoo.

Dad always used to do this when we went to Swiss Chalet. Jenie & I have been LOLing so hard this whole weekend, we all have. It’s awesome.

We went to Haulover Beach Fri & Sat for the afternoon. Had some nice long walks (haha) and floated in the ocean. I could do that all day.

These things made the loudest noise when you whacked them on the walls. So funny.

My Dad is building one of these right now. Rat Rod, so wicked.

Jenie & I wore really cute outfits Friday & last night. I love dressing up. I want to be Karl Lagerfeld for halloween this year.

Dinner time. Hope you are having a great weekend. I’m really excited for Pepsi Throwback on Tuesday when I get back from vacation. Toootalooooooooooooo!

you’re so hypnotizing could you be the devil, could you be an angel

Morning friends. Mama’s headin’ to the beach today, yahoo.

Get ya’ tan on. Yes Mum, I have sunscreen. Packed 60 for the face 🙂

Little rain over night but it’s beauty & warm out now. Great view (kidding!). Palm trees dudes, palms!

Leaving Philly took foreverrrrrrrrr. Asked around and it seems so many planes were delayed in the US yesterday. I was like ‘JUST GET ME THERE ALREADY”.

There were over five guys lined up to take off. It looked pretty. Luckily we jumped the line & got into the air first. Oh yeah.

Had one of these on the plane. Super sweet and not even that good. Reminded me of Cuba. The brochure said it came in this really cute pre-mixed bottle, the ONLY reason I ordered it. I’m a sucker for sweet packaging. Fatal attraction to cuteness.

Off to brekky now & then beach. I’ve been looking forward to this for MONTHS.

Have an awesome day.

P.S. Dave Coleman’s wicked condo at Young & Eg is for sale. He’s finally moving downtown! See it here. I would looove to have that much space. OmGAGA.

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!

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

yesterday was a really fun day

An old friend visited and we measured our balcony for synthetic grass.

Would I have the coolest condo balcony everrrrr? Yes. I reckon we would. If you interested I can intro you to Joe. He’s a nice dude, The GrASS Man.

Then I went to 1188 Films to work on an Angry Birds commercial. Yes, the worlds most best selling mobile game. I also stole the MAYORSHIP which is pretty freaking amazing. Stamped myself with their bank stamp, I’M MONEY GUYS!

It was a very Queen Westy day for me. Walked from Spadina/Gardener to 1188 Queen (near Gladstone) and back home again stopping at a few places along the way. This warm weather makes me feel just like a child and I wanna play outside all day. Reminds me of a song by my friend Devendra. Press play & keep reading!

Got ma hair did at Darren Kwik Studio (I’m Mayor there too NBD).

Beautiful spot right across from Trinity Bellwoods. Hipster discount if you tell him you’re my friend on the internet (or IRL). Call him @ 416-361-1016 right MEOW. He’ll take real nice care of you.

SALON PLANK.

Darren was teaching a class after me and his student was a STUD. Ladies, I can hook you up 😉

Post hair stopped into Melagro for some Mexican upstairs at La Perla. I can’t WAIT to have a event/party here. Place is stunning & upstairs roof patio is a GEM. (Jarvis have you been there yet?)

Cute boy(s) & girl(s) work there too.

Think I got some sun. Everybody’s free to wear sunscreen (Baz Luhrmann).

Food was good.

Look at this queso!

LA PERLA PLANK.

PLANK GIRL.

Now remember kids: Safe Planking is FUNNY but Dangerous Planking is STUPID.

Today is…

Last night Keri & went PLANKING. It was really fun. Music Garden double plank.

Wikipedia: Planking is the act of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body, in unusual public spaces and photographing it.

Kinda dumb but oh so funny. Sorta like this…

Tree plank.

If everyone in the world would hold a one minute plank every day, we would be more fit & stronger and centered. This takes core strength guys.

Hold it, steady.

LEAN is SEXY.

Planking, originated in Australia and was originally called The Lying Down Game “à plat ventre” (on one’s belly).

Haha my shorts. Two cute boys w/ a boat took this for us. Planking is a great way to make friends.

The Rules from Know Your Meme:

  • More Public the Better.
  • Larger the Group, the Better.
  • No location is out of bound when playing the game. (Please be safe!)
  • Palm of hands held against the sides, toes touching the ground.

Amsterdam Brewery plank.

This got us free beers. Plank you very much Tyler, ya babe. Our hair looks cute.

Have you planked? Would love to see your skills. Gonna plank at South Beach this weekend. One of my fav’s is Apple Store planking on Tumbr. Get creative & please don’t kill yourself forpetessake!

Plank ya later.
