During TIFF I went to an intimate & awesome reggae show at Harlem in King Street w/ Steve Carty. Show was awesome. Lots of cool peeps were there. TIFF seems like ages ago now! Thanks to Ryan Emberley for the photos. See the whole set on C Daily. The night was hosted by TIFF’s Cameron Bailey and the monthly event is a production by Sceneopolis. Performances feature Brendan Canning on turntables and The Sattalites.
Happy Friday! Have an awesome day 🙂

Woke up and my room was filled with pink sky. It’s raining now and I’m safe at work hibernating inside the computer. SEE! (Inside computer talking to you right meow.) I thought it would be nice to say hello & good morning. Having a full time job doing something I love really makes my blog more exciting and enjoyable to write. I write to remember. It started out as a daily journal in 2005 so I could keep more memories of people, places, things, and thoughts.
Now, coming up on eight years later I have documented my career starting fashion, working through jobs, tv shows, travel, hairstyles, and many outfits. I’m extremely grateful for the journey my blog and I have taken together and that you are along for the ride. Was thinking about that this weekend and I thought I should write it down.
Enjoy the day. This is the only October 1oth, 2012 that WILL EVER BE.
Make it memorable 🙂

In my most recent episode of THIS on Coral, I teamed up with Shannon Lee Simmons, host of Money Awesomeness, to review the best personal finance apps to help you manage your money. You may also want to check out sites online for helpful advice regarding your personal finances, like this one – https://www.teachmepersonalfinance.com/. Check out her top picks and watch us have a bunch of laughs together. It’s so much fun doing shows with the other Coral hosts. A hoot I tell ya!
Managing money isn’t easy, especially when it feels like you have tons of bills that need to be paid. Lots of folks often need tips to get your personal finances in order, as numerous people find themselves falling into debt because they can’t keep up with their expenses and the rise in the cost of living. Fear not, these apps and perhaps Credit Cards for No Credit can help you organize your finances whether you’re in debt or not.
Check out Shannon’s website for all kinds of tips on how to manage your finances. She really knows her stuff. Getting your finances in order lifts a HUGE burden, freeing your mind (and $$) to focus on other things. Whether it is choosing to fix your credit on your own or opting to speak to someone like a finance advisor, sorting out personal finances is really important, especially if this is an aspect in your life that causes a lot of stress.
About seven years ago, I was on W Network show called Maxed Out and didn’t know how to manage money or debt. Getting my finances in order made a huge difference and I finally paid off school last year.
In other news, my episode of Maxed Out is now playing on Oprah’s OWN Network! It airs next on Oct. 30th. OPRAH FTW!
Hopefully some of these tips will help you out. If you have any questions for Shannon about finances or me about apps, ask us on Twitter or in the comments on YouTube! Follow Shannon on Twitter @shanleesimmons and me @casiestewart.
The other week I recieved an email about the new Blundstone shoes. I’ve wanted a pair of boots for ages, so I replied right away and set up a time to visit the store. Blundstone boots come from Tasmania, Australia (I’ve been there) and all the shoe styles (like traditional boots) are unisex.
Tried on both traditional boot in round & square toes, and the new shoe style. I went with the new shoe. They’re cute. Shoes retail for $149/pair and are available in Blundstone retailers across Canada and blundstone.ca. I got mine at the store on Queen West. Of course 😉
They come in three different colours. I picked chocolate suede.
Ian Heaps of Blundstone Footwear said ““The new shoe style is perfect for those who want the Blundstone quality and comfort in a lighter format. “The shoes are great for around the office, but also transition well into the evening. They provide lasting comfort with Blundstone’s signature “slip on/slip off” convenience. They are everything you would find in a Blundstone boot, in a smaller, lighter package.”
I love the way they get worked in over time. This pair belong to Casey from the Blundstone store on Queen (same name = awesome) and hers are about a year old (left) and the other ones are brand new. I’m pretty sure my uncle has a pair of these, they always remind me of New Zealand.
Guess who else wears Blundstones? The Sheepdogs.
Founded in 1870, Blundstone is Australia’s leading manufacturer of quality footwear and IS STILL a family-owned company. I reckon they’ll fit right into my wild lifestyle. I love the orange bike outside the shop, my shoes looked good with it.
I saw this contest on the website and am sharing it with you. I don’t work for them but I am really excited about my new shoes and would love a trip (back) to Australia so I’ll be entering too. If you win TAKE MEEEEEE! Ok bye.
Thanks Blundstone for the shoes and Casey in the shop for helping me out. Looking forward to pairing them with fall outfits.
