cute article on thread.co.nz – DEREK DRESSES CASIE
Thread.co.nz is New Zealand’s home of fashion online. On the last day of New Zealand Fashion Week, Derek Fabulous and I went shopping with the Editor of Thread Megan Robinson and it was a RIOT (as you will see).
Please note I am wearing a Foursquare shirt. I’m so styling, nerdy and cool at the same time, haha. Read the article here, it’s really cute (all the pix link to it as well). Follow Derek on Twitter & @threadNZ for style from NY & NZ.
I laughed so hard when Derek put this on his face. He was like, totally serious. DEREK I MISS YOU DAH’LING!
“Grabbing a frilled tulle skirt, Derek used it to whip Casie as he held onto the reins of her leather waistcoat.”
This was my fav outfit: “Casie in a 40s swimsuit, leopard jacket and red velvet hat.” No pants baby. Gaga this one’s for you! PAWS UP!

Got no diamonds, got no wealth. I got no man, but I got my health.
Love this tune. How great of a movie is Beaches? I remember watching in in the basement on a Saurday morning, early, with my sister. Sad but so happy their friendship those two. The shirt above is Cybelle from NZ. My fav Orly nail polish in shiny Black Out and Joe Fresh matte lipstick in Poppy. A couple of my recently acquired new favourites.
Went to Shopgirls Gallery Boutique the other day and got some Yoga Jeans. Great little shop it is, located in Parkdale and carries all kinds of Canadian designers. All the staff are artists and they have gallery space on the walls. They have a blog, Twitter and are on FB too.
Michelle the owner took me around and we perused all the Canadian designers. Look at her in the gorgeous collar. I want!
These are the Yoga Jeans I picked, signature limited edition made for Shopgirls exclusively, down to the last couple pairs ones. Check me out, Shopgirls logo there.
This is the standard lunge test. It works, they are SUPER stretchy. Wont lose their shape. Retail around $110 which is totes reasonable.
I never wear jeans and wore them all day yesterday, deff Casie approved. The best pants I’ve worn in a while. Go to the boutique and get some of your own it is at 1342 Queen Street West. They are probably open call 416 534 7467 to check first.
It reminded me of a little shop I might see in Ponsonby, Auckland filled with New Zealand designers. I love all these kinda things with feathers and lace and leather.
This table was so cool. Made from bicycle parts as you can see. I’d love to see Dad make one of these. Hey Dad, can you make this? I know you can, I mean can you try one out?
You can rent the space out. Pretty neat. Easy to get to. Might be good for a gathering little smaller than GenYTO. Something where we serve wine around the room.
Love the ceilings.
Queen Street in Toronto is such a great place. This board at Portland/Queen always has the best little quotes. Ones to make you feel cute for sure. Oh Natalie! I just can’t decide either! A life of freedom is sooooo appealing!
P.S Took all these photos with my Motorola Backflip, pretty good camera/phone if youre looking. Mine is with Telus, it’s an Android. I dig it. Google ILU, FTW!
eye spy with my new litte eye
Good Morning Saturday!! It’s lovely out. I got a new camera yesterday, Cannon PowerShot SD1300 I 12.1 mpx + 2 year warranty. If you have been reading this blog for more than six months, you will know exactly why I need a warranty. If you are newer than that, search camera here and you will understand.
Let me show you around a little, welcome to my house…
My girls – Gwen, Love, Angel, Music, Baby. Smellin good.
Mum’s fav passage by Billie Jean King “there are no shortcuts to achieving your dreams” thanks Mum. Love you. Gold angel for good luck and love. They are everywhere around my house and Mum’s house. Thanks Julie, rest in peace, I love you. Tiffany’s silver bracelet from a boy, white gold diamond ring from a different boy (both who now have kids and might be married? Oh memories.) The septum piercing I took out last month, vintage earings. The gold thing is from an award my Dad won for a hot rod he built in the 80’s. Love you too Dad!
Me and frog magnet. A penis magnet. Morgan & I at George Strombo‘s party, Carly, Brock & I at the Diet Coke party all during TIFF last month. I love photo booths. I’m sure that does not surprise you.
Sabrina is whiping up a quiche for brekky. She really is quite a darling. Makes a wicked quiche! Imma eat you SOON!
This does not need explaining, I’ve shouted from the rooftops already.
My girl Barbie, one of many around the house. She is special because she has a video camera in her chect (kinda jealous) and an LCD screen in her back (not jealous) for recording videos. Thanks Mattel! Her and I need to spend more time together. Perhaps we will take a walk later today? Those files need attention.
Lookin’ pretty clear across the water, not much traffic either. Not that I have a car or a boat but y’know. Good to know.
Hello beautiful! Clear blue skies and my fav tall tower in the world. HI! Remember when I was inside you last week?
Ridic amount of clothes in my room and this massive bag is full of ones I’m finally parting with. Going to a clothing swap today and pretty much swapping all this jazz for more space in my closet.
This right here is sweet as mate! Warm and sunny FTW ILU! This is my TV it’s LG. First big electronic purchase of my life. I felt like such a dude when I got it, kinda like oh yeah, I’ve got a big one.
Scored this Yacht CD when I worked at MuchMTV. I totally love it. Rock it on the ipod too. There are heaps of good songs on this album and they are on Twitter too @teamyacht. The EP under it is a cd I got at a fashion show during New Zealand Fashion Week, Kiwi’s make some pretty rad music. SO much talent over there. Shame the wee islands are SO far away.
Sabrina’s lovely indoor garden. It’s been really expanding. I got a money tree earlier this year and y’know what, with lots of sun and some love, it’s growing.! This makes mama happy happy.
My netbook on a Belkin laptop fan. Joe Fresh lip gloss (love). Charlie Mars free download from Morgan that I’ve not used yet. I hear Charlie is a big dealio, dating that girl MLP from Weeds. I love that show. Crappy Gaga inspired ring from H&M that needs to be silver not scrap metal. Doh! I hate that.
That’s all for now. What are you doing today?

hello, you fool, i love you, c’mon join the joyride!
It is SO BEAUTIFUL outside today. Can you believe it is ROctober and 19 dregees! Gah. It’s gonna be 21 tomorrow. This is gonna be an awesome weekend! I’m going to a clothing swap on Saturday. I’ve got a massive travel bag of clothes I pulled from my closet. If I’ve not worn it and it’s not vintage or seasonal, it’s GONE! The mass piles in my room are shameful. I feel to good to be giving them away, all the leftover clothes to to a charity organization.
On Sunday I’m this week’s guest on the Social Media Show on Perpetual Radio with Karim Kanji. We’re gonna be talking about New Twitter, the Virgin Contest and a few other exciting things. On Monday I’m filming a video with My City Lives about my favourite park in the city. So many exciting things happening!!
I love you Toronto! Tomorrow is the day Virgin America picks the Provocateur. I’ve been leading the whole competition and have more votes, youube views, FB friends, Twitter followers and blog readers then my competition. He’s a nice guy but I rekon I’m exactly what Virgin America & Richard Branson are looking for! Thank you all for being such good sports and rooting for me this whole time. It’s been going since JULY!
I make a great Virgin Girl, eh?
Hope you all have an awesome day. If you can, go outside and enjoy the sun. Nothing like that warm glow on your face!

sometimes i don’t feel like it #1
sometimes i don’t feel like it. updating the internet. sharing my life. sometimes i want to just escape and be like one of those people who doesn’t even have a facebook. who calls their friends on the phone and hangs out in person with only a small group of friends. sometimes i just want to stop blogging and i think why, why do i share things i do and who really cares anyways? sometimes i just want to escape the internet and read more books and play outside. retreat to a cabin in the woods and smell fresh air and listen to the sounds of leaves blowing in the wind…
…and then…
someone sends me an email or a private message and tells me that i inspired them or they relate to me or that i helped them get through something. that’s when i snap out of not feeling like it and realize that i love it more than anything.
sharing makes me happy and i hope it does you too ♥
have a wonderful day filled with smiles, love and friends xo
