canada goose 2010 preview: i wanna get goosed

Last night Keri and I went to the Canada Goose 2010 preview. I’ve never owned any Goose gear. Saw heaps of peeps, checked out lots of merch and it was nice to get to know the brand a little better.

How cute is this jacket?

And this hat?

We look good together, don’t we? Jacket is from the kids line. Loves the brightness and it felt really snug & warm. I’d love to be wearing it when I’m going around to Virgin events and doing all kinds of cool stuff this winter. hint hint 😉

Winter is coming guys. Let shope it’s not too damn cold this year aiiight. I’m ready for hibernation station when it hits. Actually, I don’t mind winter that much. It doesn’t get nearly as cold now as it did when we were kids. Remember how much show we used to get? Like CRAZY amounts.

Canada Goose has these Goose People who brave the elements and do amazing things. I got a prety neat book about them all. I reckon I can do some pretty amazing things too? Maybe I should climb a massive mountain in my spare time.

I really like way the companies/agencies are starting to get creative with event activities and take aways. Last night we each got our photo taken in Goose gear, were given it on a branded USB key, then the image was made into a snow globe. (Dad, you are getting this for Christmas. Love you! )

Spotted a couple babes, look at these dashing young men, Paul & Kevin. Twerk.

These young fashion bloggers are takin’ ovah. Represent. L-R Nick Sean, Jay Strut, Julio. The shirt I’m wearing is by Andy Hall and Toronto based Canadian designer. Wore a bunch of Andy Hall stuff at NZFW and really love the comfy yet stylish construction in their clothes. Pants are my Yoga Jeans from Shop Girls Boutique. I’ve been wearing them, super comfy.

My bag is my most treasured from Nella Bella. It has been rocking my world (and holding all my stuff) for a while now. LGFW is coming up next week and the Greta Constantine show is tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing all the fashionistas together!

Casie October 14, 2010 LIFE

the most annoying thing you could ever ask me

“what are you up to these days? how is everything going?”

What does that even mean? Really? Like, how is EVERYTHING going? Well, let me think, do you have all day to sit down and listen to me tell you? Would you like for me to re-write my daily blog in an email? Do you even really wanna know?

Could you not just have looked at my profile on any zillion social networks and seen where I work or that I recently uploaded photos and went to a party or two. Facebook makes it so easy for old friends acquaintances to see what you’ve been up to. So, why do people ask such general and impersonal questions?

If you’re my friend on FB you’ll be used to seeing my little square face in your news feed with photos, blog posts and status updates. IF we’re friends, (emphasis on the IF) it’s pretty easy to see what someone’s been up to. I always check a friends profile before I message them, that’s what Facebook is for! Duh.

So, when and old friend asks “what are you up to these days? how’s everything going?” I think to myself, we must not be friends and you probably don’t care.

Urgh, rant much? if you ever wanna ask me something crazy, fun or just plain outta this world go right ahead.

Happy Day 🙂

I have learned about time,
It is measured in my mind.

First step towards the future.

Time heals all; I can catch me if I fall.
You can’t catch me at all.

I’m stoked for Halloweeeeeener. Can you believe we’re almost half way through Roctober already? Sheesh gonna be 2K11 before no time. On Sat the 29th in the day I will be doing something cool that I can’t tell you about yet (save the date) and in the night I will be at Tequila Bookworm for the People Downtown halloween-bloodbath-dressup party.

january 2005: bio

hello, my name is casie. welcome! welcome to the wonderful world of casie. you are about to be introduced to my life that is filed with light, love and excitement. i live in toronto and love it. i work downtown in recruiting. if you are in IT and need a JOB…ask me. i also work for moxie promotions. i love helping people and believe that giving is its own gift. it makes me feel happy.

i like to write things. i like to read books and magazines. i like to make things and sew things too. creativity is a big huge part of my life in everything i do. i love music, all kinds. i am inspired by so many simple pleasures. i love being in front of the camera or having my picture taken. i love sun. i love the sand, the ocean and surfing. i really really love good style. fashion is deffinatley my passion! i enjoy playing bongo drums and dancing in the park. i love to dance arms over my head. there is nothing like reading a good book! i am a canadian born kiwi from new zealand. i have been to NZ for many visits and i used to live in australia. bondi beach is my happy place! my life is filled with light and energy and i try to radiate that where ever i go. i love to have fun.

a twitter bio is now 160 characters – my how times change. myspace seems so cluttered and ugly now. it’s just a mess of patchy conversations with people i don’t really know. the ones i do know never use it, unless they are in a band but i rarely ever check myspace. it’s the last place i’d look to reach someone.

bondi beach, 2004

i loved living here. these are my uni friends, that’s me across the middle. we used to hang out so hard at that bondi beach. it is a topless beach. at first it was like ‘so weird’ but after a while you get used to it and everyone has their tops off. man it was fun. i miss it. i wanna go back, soon.

i now it’s hard.

i know that you lost someone so dear, the person you love, your heart. the one who is closest to you, who makes you smile and holds you close to wipe your tears. i know it’s hard but you can get through this. i love you and i am here for you and i am not going anywhere. i will always be here.

you know you can reach me anytime. my phone is attached to my hand and there are a zillion ways to reach me and you know them all. i know you feel alone, but don’t. there are so many people that love you and care for you and one of them that loves and cares for you the most, is me.

i am thinking of you.

the best thing in the whole world when you are down is having that friend, a hug and someone to lean on. friends, i am here for you and i love hugs ♥

sorry but i just don’t have a face for radio ok

This weekend was a good one for me. I didn’t clean my room (like planned) or have thanksgiving dinner but I did make changes to my blog, hang out with friends and do a radio show.

Take a peek around, I’ve added some pages, changed links from redish to hot pink, and a few other tweaks here and there. Let me know what you think. Big, UPS to Patrick from Toronto City Life for helping. You rule dude. We’re kicking things up a notch at the casiestewart.com office. PAWS UP.

On Sunday afternoon while many of you were stuffing yourselves, I was a guest on Perpetual Radio Network’s Social Media Show. I dropped in to discuss Toronto International Film Fest (TIFF), New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW), the Virgin America Provocateur contest/win, influencers and much more. Give a listen or download the podcast for the train ride home today. It’s free and awesome.

Happy Monday 🙂

the sky is no longer the limit

I’ve been following all the news about Virgin Galactic since inception in 2004. I am amazed and inspired by it all. Richard Branson is the most inspiring man in the world to me. Hands down. No limits, no boundaries, ready to take on the world, the universe. Doing it. The fact that I get to meet him and be part of the Virgin Team is a dream come true.

Got an email last night with the great news “Virgin Galactic Releases Exclusive Footage of Spaceship’s Historic Maiden Solo Flight.” This is SO EXCITING! HERE WE COME SPACE! In 2004 I sent an email asking if there were going to be flight attendants to space because I was ready to start training. For the record, there are not.

VIRGIN GALACTIC PRESS RELEASE:

The world’s first commercial manned spaceship, VSS Enterprise, which is being developed by US space tourism company Virgin Galactic, achieved its first piloted free flight on 10th October 2010 in Mojave CA.

Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, who was present to witness the flight later described it as “one of the most exciting days in the whole history of Virgin”. He went on to say: “The sky is no longer the limit. We will now begin the process of pushing to the final frontier of space itself over the next year”.

VSS Enterprise was described by Scaled Composites pilot Pete Siebold as “a joy to fly” and the company confirmed that all objectives of the flight were successfully completed.

National Geographic Channel in the United States will be showing a documentary on the build up and preparation for the first flight of VSS Enterprise on Monday, 18th October at 10.00pm ET/PT.
