whatever will i wear? i need your #help.

The Have a Heart Auction is on Feb. 10th and I need something special to wear. I’m doing Rogers Daytime TV that day too.  I like this style of dress, has to be short and cute. Emma Stone is such a babe.

I was looking for an image of the outfit Carrie Bradshaw was wearing on the cover of her book. Remember the cute black blazer w/ mini skirt one & she had her laptop in her hand? Thanks Google.

This is pretty cute though.

DO NOT WANT THIS. Gah.

OR THIS, OMG. …actually OMFG.

I found so many photos like this. Look, it’s me errry day 24/7/365.25.

If anyone out there wants to connect me to someone who would like to dress me for the  Heart & Stroke auction (or anything!) send an email to casie at casiestewart.com. Let’s hope mama rings in the big bux for charity.

Imma go to the gym now. ILU Byeeeeeeeee!

the fifth most awesomest thing of the day?

This is an old photo, some time in 2009. Love browsing old ones, so many memories, outfits and hairstyles. Came across mostawesomestthingever.com yesterday and it’s pretty awesome.  Give yourself a few mins to play there. Computer is 74th Mom is 26th.

Can you guess what the 5th most awesomest thing of the day is?
Starts with ‘C’ (ends with ‘ASIE’ haha I kid, I kid). No really it starts with ‘C’. Guess!

Haven’t been drawing much lately but reckon I should. There are so many things I would like to have on a tshirt like this:

These are all words from the most recent Twitter lists I’ve ben put on. I alwasy check those out. It’s  neat to see how other people view you, what categories they put you in. Some make me feel real proud too. Check yours.

Klout says CASIE STEWART is a Networker:

Uh hey, thanks guys.

Caught this on Tavi’s tumblr, how fitting. Creative people prone to madness? Yes. Prone to Madness & RADness.

A collage of 800 words from the front page of my blog made up this wordle. Pretty neat. Love is the biggest because I love life and love stuff all the time.

OMG. best boyfriend EVER!

Oh Ken, You shouldn’t have!

“I can’t stop thinking about you. … Every girl wants to be like you because of your adventurous spirit. “

“No other doll can hold a candle to your fashion sense, and I can’t think of anyone else I prefer to stand beside.”

“This October I was on the lookout for you at Toronto Fashion Week with my Kentourage, but you were nowhere to be found. “

“I’ll do whatever it takes to win you back.”

I won’t give up until you give me another chance. Barbie, we may be plastic but our love is real.”

Rose is real too!

Here’s the best part…

I was tickled pink when I got this package today. Still smiling. It’s so creative and fun. Love, love, love it. I bet it was so fun putting this together!

I’m a big fan of Barbie (as you know) and I’m also a huge fan of what is what Mattel is doing with Barbie & Ken online. @barbiestyle & @officialken are active on Twitter and they both have Facebook and Foursquare here & here.

I googled “Kentourage” and found out that Ken is REALLY asking Barbie to get back together.

There’s an event coming up Feb. 8th at the Eaton Centre and barbieandken.com has this on it:

There’s also a show on Hulu hosted by Whitney Port called Genuine Ken that I didn’t know about either. I like the idea of them togetether, Sweet Talkin’ Ken & Barbie Video Girl.

I hope I find my very own Ken. Maybe he will be the is the highest bidder in the auction on Feb. 10th.

Thank you Amanda for sending. You made my day 🙂

get ready to sign your name here lady OR gentleman…

I’m in a charity auction for the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

There are 20 people in the whole auction.  I have no idea who the other girls are but, I do know you will be able to bid on bloggers  Zach Bussey & Dan Levy and young darling Brock McLaughlin.

Maybe I will find a date myself?

Remember when Scar Jo sold a date on e-bay for charity? That was kinda hot, wonder how much she went for? Oh y’know, about $40,000 USD!

Let’s hope I break $100.

The event is hosted by Ally & Dani from the Girls of TO blog and all proceeds to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. See the press release here.

I was on a skipping team for the H&S when I was in Primary school so when they asked, I totally said yes. I’m nervous but mostly about what I am going to wear. Ah!

Highest male & female bidders from the audience get Nella Bella bag (my fav!) and a $100 bar tab covered by Sleeman Brewery. Let’s hope someone is sharng that with me at the end of the night ok 😉

Date:February 10, 2011. Doors  8PM.
Location: The Hideout, 484 Queen Street West
Cost: $5 at the door
Bidding begins at $25

This Peach Berserk dress was made JUST for me for the 2010 MMVA’s.

Have a great day,

coldest day of the year right here. no fear!

hello friends. today in between doing things i have to do i decided to brave the cold and see just how rotten it was.

played around a little. well, la-di-da!

Gif Created on Make A Gif

side note: LOVE this movie

if you go outside remember to wear sun glasses. the winter sun is just as bad for you and nothing burns the retina like snow blind. if you are gonig walking you really should wear sunscreen too. (i know you will like that i am noting this mum, i’m sure you’re rocking the 50 down in the bahamas! miss you)

i’ve made a promise to myself that i am NOT going to get the winter blues. there are waaaaaay to many things to be excited about and look forward to; making summer dresses, working on my summer beach body, writing compelling stories, taking beautiful photos, the way the sun shines on the snow, fresh cool air, staying inside and watching movies, planning events…the list goes on.

warmest most favourite winter boots ever, Moovboot Siberian huskies.

hello city i love so much. oh you, tower!

this is the same spot rannie shot me for his 140 characters project. remember this photo? ahhh, summer… that dress is from united colours of benetton when i was about eight years old. growing is for suckers, haha. RIP those glasses though 🙁

the lake looks nice today, nice and freezing cold, nice and glittery in the sunshine. remember, the cup is half full in ths department. i fired that bitch girl debby downer, restraining order.

i wonder if i will ever get married? if i do i want a hungi and a haka, old cars and vintage. not that i’ve thought about it much but i love style and this photo is really cute.  there are lots of cute photos on my tumblr. i have a fatal attraction to cuteness.

after about 10 minutes in the icy air i started to feel really cold. this is the “i’ve had enough” face. tights are often quite warm but nothing stands up to a chill in the air  like that cold. minus 20 before windchill? wind-kill!

after playing outside for a few i went to sobey’s for groceries. i think there is a grocery boy with a crush on me. i have noticed him direct eye contact smile the last couple days and yesterday he finally said “what’s up”. i see him pretty much every day when i go there. i do not want this to get awkward, for now it’s cute. today in the produce section we crossed paths and almost bumped into each other. i think he has an accent. it made me feel like a teenager and i smiled.

tonight i am making a roast dinner for some friends. mum used to make good food on sunday night’s to start the week with warm tummies and food in the fridge. i really hope it turns out ok. i’m a pretty good cook but i don’t cook that often. i reckon imma make a pavlova soon. i’m pretty good at it. it’s a kiwi thing. mum used to teach people who to make a pav but no one ever seemed to get it just right ubnless they were form NZ too.

Feeling pretty good after yesterday’s session at The Motion Room, pix & deets on that lata. Ok, off to the gym for me, weeee!

P.S. this is prety funny. Thanks Crystal for Tweeting. Fruit Ninja for REAL. If you don’t know Fruit Ninja it’s an app for ipad/iphone that is really fun and awesome.

i don’t speak java but i can if you like

This is true. Remember that one. Rumor has it you can find this written all over the city. Positive grafitti is my fav. Hearts too.

Well, hello there

Hi

I was heading to a research place where I ate this for lunch.  Basically selling little bits of my brain to mordern science. I am so very diverse in my skill set. You have no idea, I got mad skillz.

We followed Starbucker with a visit to the Toy Store. Look what I got, a sheep, baaaaaaa.

She loves it, Hello Kitty.

This is worth a few good laughs.

A couple years back I worked at Hemingways in Yorkville. I knew Martin the owner (a Kiwi) and thought as a New Zealand person they really should hire me. They did. I loved working there so much. It was really fun, the people were awesome and I made good tips. I was there during film fest time which is the best time to be there.

We had a very fun time. Eli was great cause he offered to take our photo but he had no idea what he was getting into. After about 10 photos, he got it.

Raymi played me Bad Romance on the jukebox. Have you heard mama monster’s new jam Sheibe? She says “I don’t speak German but I can if you like”. Hence title of this post, perhaps you made the connection already?

This is the happy face of me talking about New Zealand Mountains with another kiwi.

Annnnnnnnd we’re back. Eye spy Raymi has the camera. Nice new cards BTW. I need new cards now that Virgin America dropped the news yesterday about stopping service to Toronto. I’ll talk about that later. Too frustrated about it right now, must remain calm and not have a freakout. Imagine I did? I imagined but I’m not gonna do that, I promise.

End scene, it was time to say byeeeeeeee. I had another girl date to get to. We’re a cute pair though aren’t we?

Rush home shower, prep and go. I never use those Dyson dryers, I like paper towel but they are pretty rad. I’d love a Dyson vacuum. *cough cough*

My lovely date Sheryl who used to my boss in my first full time job ever. She took me under her wing and taught me heaps. So nice to reconnect. She gave me exciting news that she’s now Social Media Manager for Creative Bag so she’s like, totally Tweeting. Way to go sista!

Her and I had a great dinner at The Drake Hotel. Bunch of apps were just perfecto!

The Drake Hotel is a cool place for a number of reasons, like, Stew works there, it’s often babe central, they have good food and chicken & waffles for brekky. They also rule because I was tweeting about being there I got a DM that THIS was at front desk for me. FOR ME! Being a famous bloger has it’s perks 🙂

Next stop The Gladstone Hotel! Sheryl and I were then part of a project for the Gladestone’s Come Up to My Room art show curated by the lovely Alina Kulesh.

It was in the Art Bar. So neat up there if you have never been you should use this show as an excuse to really snoop around. You will likey. I did, see:

This skirt was to tight at Christmas but fits me now. Working out is awesome!

Then we were part of a photo essay kinda thinger. Love all this photo and camera jazz.

Smile darlin’, looking fab.

Finished the night off at The Thompson Hotel which concludes this lovely Toronto Hotel tour.

Ok that’s it for now. Time for me to find out just how cold it really is out there. Happy Saturday!

the casie stewart show has a nice ring to to it #CSS

It’s so sunny out today I’m reminded of summer. I feel happier today. Bugger this time of year, don’t let it get you down. This is a good time to find inspiration, look for it. 

Wearing an outfit Dad & his GF got me for Christmas. The skirt was too tight then but fits now. You know what that means? 1) Awesome 2) Going to the gym and working out makes you skinnier.  I’m am so glad I’m getting my ass in gear. Last year I told myself ‘this year’ and I refuse to let ME down.

Tonight I’m having dinner with my boss from my first full time job ever. It was 2005 and I had moved to Toronto for a job in the fashion industry. I was certain that was what I wanted to be. I love that her and I are having a date tonight. I will always love fashion too. Been talkin’ FW 11 events & parties! Exciting.

Saw this today: “Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was one eccentric” I say, don’t fear being eccentric at all.

Have an awesome day ♥

young & restless: open a bottle of wine with a shoe

I’ve gotten used to jokes about how much I love the Young and the Restless. It’s true. I do and you know it. It’s a great show and I will watch it as long as it lasts. This pic is from NZ Fashion Week. Aw, I miss my down under loves.

Anyhooters, every once in a while I learn something from the show, yesterday was one of those days.

Lilly was locked in the wine cellar with the bad Australia guy and they didn’t have a cork screw so he opened the wine, WITH A SHOE. A SHOE!

If y’all know this already and I am late to the game please tell me. I’ve had a boy try with a kitchen knife, a jack knife, a hammer/nail and who knows what else but NEVER EVER HAVE I EVER (remember that game?) seen someone do this with a shoe.

After carefully doing the appropriate research on the worlds largest video site I came up with the following conclusions.

1 ) If this guy can do it so can I.

2) I recommend you try this at home.

Here’s how. I hope you can listen in French, I think it is best explained that way.

Attention everyone, if you try this at a party or picnic, in a dark alley or at a hipster party, you WILL IMPRESS someone. You would for sure impress me. I’m going to impress someone with this right after I go buy a bottle of wine. BTW if you try this and film it, tell me I will so totally post it.

And if you ever see this please buy it for me. Is it an allergy bracelet or a symbol of my one true love?

I am here to give you advice on things that will make you cooler than your other friends who don’t read this blog or my other blog OH CASIE. There’s lots to learn. Imma a teacher of the awesome 😉
