MONDAY MARCH MADNESS

Good  morning, good morning, and how are you today?

I’m feeling a wee bit frazzled since we leave for SXSW Wednesday. I woke up early, cleaned my room, did the dishes and started packing. I’m about to get dressed and head to MTCC for The Art of Marketing, Randi Zuckerberg from Facebook is speaking today.

Been offered a pretty sweet new in fashion so I need to make one stop around Dundas Square today.  I can’t wait to tell you about it, it’s cool.  Meeting Lauren at Yorkdale mid day for a SHOPPING SPREE at West 49 & Billabong cause they’re sponsoring us for SXSW. How freaking cool eh? Ahhhhh.

On my way back downtown I’ve got a fitting at Peach Berserk cause guess what? I’m walking in the (huge) closing show, Dare to Wear Love for Mastercard International Fashion Week on March 17th. Ahhhhhh again!

Tonight my SXSW team has a meeting to plan out the final details and out route from Toronto to Texas.  It’s been years since I went on a big road trip and this is by far the biggest one ever. I can’t wait to get there. If you’re gonna be there LMK & make sure you add my panel to your schedule. It’s Sunday at 12:30!

Have an awesome day!

P.S. MUM, I miss you. Call me xo

 

Weekend Tune: “DoYaThing” by Gorillaz feat. James Murphy and Andre 3000

Happy weekend! Did you enjoy your Leap Year Day? Getting geared up for March?

The other day Casie blogged about the SS 12 preview for Converse, and mentioned their collaboration with the Gorillaz. I thought it then only appropriate to post the Converse sponsored music video for “DoYaThing” by Gorillaz  featuring James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Andre 3000 of OutKast. See if you can stop the new kicks in the clip…

COWGIRLS IN TEXAS

Lauren, Kate and I leave for SXSW in Austin on Wednesday. Packed my cowboy hat already. It’s gonna be warm & sunny 😉

We’re working on a blog travel diary that’ll be run by Kate the whole trip. For now, check out our Pinterest board of all things SXSW 2012.

I am beyond excited. This is the biggest/bloggest trip I/we’ve ever done/blogged. Yeah, jam packed 10 days of non-stop. When I come back I’m taking a few days off then going on Whiskey vacation with Canadian Club. This video is good style inspiration, Wildfox Spring 2012  “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues”.

Going to CanLIT training event tonight. If you want more information… you will find it!

WARM BREEZES & SUNSHINE REMIND ME OF YOU

CONVERSE SS12 – Bring on Spring!

Earlier this week Lauren and I went to the SS 12 preview for Converse. It was help at the beautiful St. Germain Hotel downtown. These are my fav picks. There’s a this one pair called Chuckit Stripe Gore Lady CVO Slip, they’re really light (weight) kicks with a sailor feel. You know how much I love all things nautical!

Here’s a slideshow of some of my favourites.  I love the collaborations with Marvel Comics and The Gorillaz. There’s a bunch of new colours & styles out this season too. I’m super stoked to have a few pairs delivered next week as Converse is one of our SXSW Sponsors!!
