Events | Give the Gift of Sight w/ ClearlyContacts on Oct. 9th

Last night I got an email from my friends at Clearly Contacts about World Sight Day tomorrow. I’ve worked with Clearly Contacts to share new products and contests for a while (see posts here) and I’m happy to share their latest charity initiative. In exchange for this post, Clearly Contacts is donating a pair of prescription glasses to someone via Change the View on my behalf. The global  #WHOBLINKEDFIRST campaign that kicks off tomorrow. Over the last few years documenting my life, I’ve really taken time to smell the flowers, literally and figuratively. I take heaps of photos each day and really value my eyesight and ability to see beauty in the little things. I can only imagine how my life would change if I lost my eyesight. For every video shared with #WHOBLINKEDFIRST, ClearlyContacts.ca will donate a pair of prescription eyeglasses, Vitamin A tablets, or UV protective sunglasses to someone in need through Change the View. Challenge your bff to a staring contest and upload to the WSD Gallery here to win new glasses and other prizes for yourself. To learn more at clearlycontacts.ca/worldsightday   Here’s lookin’ at you loves! Share this post to spread the good. <3 CASIE

The 100th Grey Cup will be my first pro football game!

Went to the Grey Cup Players Gala Award Party at MTCC on Thursday. It was fun. Got to thank my Telus peeps in person for party and game tickets. Lauren and I danced front stage while Kardinal performed and then we went home (to the internet). I’ve never been to a REAL pro football game, only college or Uni. AND, in other amazing news…I JUST FOUND OUT JUSTIN BIEBER IS PERFORMING AT THE HALF-TIME SHOW! OMFG. Judge me, I don’t care. I love the Biebs. Our shirts were delivered today along with a football and some Grey Cup gear from Telus. THANK GUYS! Excited for the event tomorrow 🙂   [View the story “CFL Awards Players Party” on Storify] CFL Awards Players Party Storified by CASIE STEWART · Sat, Nov 24 2012 11:40:01 Lauren and Casie do the #GreyCup this Sunday.

Sun Day

  It’s incredibly beautiful & sunny on the lake today. Tuesday night I went to the SS 2012 preview for Mark’s. I’m always impressed with the style. I’m looking to get a few nice dress shirts & cardigans before summer (who’s growing up nowwwwww?!). There is a rose cardigan that matches my rose tattoo I must have. I’ll have some pix from the lookbook soon. Honestly though, go to a Mark’s store, you will be surprised! Finally went into CB2 design on Queen. I was in Boston or Vegas so I missed the launch party. Beautiful shop. Love how they left the exposed brick from the Big Bop and the classic sign. I feel like it was just yesterday I was hanging out there for bands & fetish parties. New Instagram stickers arrived from Printstagram yesterday. Thanks Bob for shipping from Boston via China. Stickers with shipping to Canada come to $20 which you can pay with PayPal. This is my second round, I simple love the little things. Stopp by to visit my girls at Doll Bar. Have you been there before? It’s a lovely place. I really want to get extensions but my hair isn’t long enough yet. I’m having an inner conflict over do I cut it or do I grow it?

Smart Clothes for Smart People

This weekend I was snuggled up on the couch with my computer enjoying some facetime with my TV. Instead of leaving the house (for anything) decided it was a great idea to browse a few of my fav sites in search of deals. YAY CYBER WEEK! Recently, Mark’s reintroduced online shopping, so, inorder to let you know how easy it is to order, I made a few purchases myself. Last year I got a Denver Hayes super soft cardigan and it’s been all around the world and back. I’ve worn it heaps so I ordered myself this soft drape cardigan in dark olive. To match my eyes of course! The process was super easy and I received an order confirmation by email soon as the order was placed. Shipping is free until the end of the year so get your orders in. They’ve got a bunch of gifts under $30 like really warm socks, slippers, fur hats and yes, a snowball thrower. I picked up a few other little things but can’t say what since my sister and Mum are regular readers 😉   If you make a purchase before the end of November you can be entered to win your entire shopping cart. Visit marks.com for detals & deals. Happy shopping! If you make a purchase before the end of November you’ll be entered to win your entire shopping cart.

You look just as beautiful as the day we met.

We had a breakup last summer but we got back together fairly quick. It’s nice getting messages like this to celebrate anniversaries. It’s the little things that count. My relationships with technology (hardward & software) are some of my most cherished ones – Andy (iPad), James Dean (Macbook Air), Robert (my old PC), Olympus cameras, Zoey (sewing machine) and the most recent addition, XBOX360 (he is yet to be named). Made this shirt for Foursquare Day in 2010. I was working with MuchMTV at the time but they didn’t really get that I was wearing THE badge on my shirt. Ha! This pic showed up in the deck for Puma International’s “After Hours Athlete” campaign before they hired me. Check out some of my Things to Do in Toronto (Generated by Foursquare Checkins): Must Hit Sandwich Places Must Visit Parks Must Visit Music Venues Clothing Stores (add CTS on there!) Must Visit Bars Food & Drink places to Visit Went crazy on Joe Fresh nail polish the other day. Three for $10 and they go on thin so dry pretty fast which I like. Was given a few at the TIFF Tastemakers Lounge in 2010 and have been hooked since. Playlist today is Bon Iver on Soundcloud. Sam woke me up early but made brekky to make up for it. Feeling grumpy and the weather doesn’t help. Slow sad music is quite soothing. Hope your day is good so far 🙂

be famous before you die

CASIE ring needs bling. I want more things with my name on it. Anyone out there wanna get on that amazing opportunity? I’ll be famous before I die. I’ve always been that way. In grade six I made the ‘Casie Watch’, ‘Casie’ brand clothes in uni and all kids of other little things over the years. Hmm, would you buy it? Drink my koolaid. Have I told you how much I love my clean room? It’s like a quiet digital sanctuary lounge equipped with bed, tv, cable, ipad, monitors, phones, clothes and art. Basically heaven. Can you spot my boyfriend Ken? I love him. Rachel tweeted me  these cupcakes today. She knows how much I loooooove the Young & the Restless. My life goal is basicaly to play myself on the show before I die. BTW if you see these earrings kicking around please let me know. They’re my special (and NEW)  black Swarovski Crystal’s by @sparkleforlife and I misplaced them Saturday morning. Wahh. Did you see Gaga came out of the weed smoking closet? Should I? I dunno. No. I was a domestic diva the other day & made a Bacon & Egg pie. For those who don’t know, this is a New Zealand staple. Mum would make them all the time. Some people like it hot but I loooove it cold. Oh gawd, so yum. It’s screaming “EAT ME”. Now I haz some’tin to share with you, listen up… Do you have a blog? Wanna blog? Make your blog more popular? New eyeballs & ears? I’m a contributor to the Z-List blog, see it here. It’s a place you can share your photos, videos, blog or whatever. I’m going to be interviewing some NYC peeps and celebs for the site so get in and join the fame train.…

email subject: thanks for being inspirational

I received this email over the weekend: Hey Casie, I have no idea what searchwords let me stumble onto your page and blog …. but I wanted to send you a quick “thank you” for sharing your life. I found your page by pure chance, but once I started reading a bit, your positive outlook on life got me hooked. I find that highly inspirational! Maybe one day (if you ever travel the not so exotic Europe – or even boring Germany) – we’ll meet and I can thank you in person. Take care and keep that positive vibe. It’s little things like this email that really make me proud of what I do, what I’m doing. I’ve worked hard to get here and will continue working hard to make all my dreams come true.  This one time last year I got an email from international best selling author Neil Pasricha of “The Book of Awesome” and he thanked me for having “the largest collection of awesome related photos on the internet”. To me, this means I’m doing what I set out to do. There’s so much negativity in the world around us and by blogging each and every single day, I hope to make the world a happier place. It also helps me see joy in little things and appreciate all I have. It also helps me remember. Hope you’re doing something today that brings you closer to your dreams, and if you’re not, there’s still time to change that.

foursquare: it’s time to have “the talk”

Dear Foursquare, I’ve gotta gett his off my chest, so here it is… I’ve been having mixed feelings about our replationship recently. I’ve started feeling a bit crowded.  I need some space. I don’t want everyone knowing where I am all the time. You know how much I love you and I really  like what you do. It’s not you, it’s me.  I don’t wanna break up, I just need some space.  I want the mystery back in  our relationship.  I want things more like they used to be. We have so many great memories and you’re always bringing me closer to my friends (Twestival, Foursqaure Day, Earthquake/Superswarm, Karaoke, NXNE). I still want more of that. It’s the little things, the little checkins all the time here and there, it’s getting to be too much. I’m taking back the pants. Please no hard feelings. Remember when I made that awesome shirt for your birthday? I’ll checkin at work tomorrow.  Love you. xo CASIE

get your cherry chapstick ready

I’ve never actually seen Star Wars. I dated this boy way back who despite being in his mid twenties, still has a Star Wars bed spread and sheets. Lightsaber anyone? Haha If you didn’t notice on FB or Twitter or the Gregorian calendar, today is May the Forth. Get it? No, urgh, May the Fourth be with You! Its super nice out again today. I miss my camera. Morning photoshoots had become part of my regular routine. I can’t take full shots of my outfits anymore. Really digging the rooster alarm BTW. I think its funny. I try to do little things here and there to make my day better. Tuesday is my busiest day of the week now that The Hills is back on. If you ever wanna watch The Hills at MTV and see The After Show live, email, tweet, FB, me or leave a comment. Posted a bunch on Tumblr last night, lotsa pretty pictures. Sky looks really clear today. I’ve got lotsa exciting things happening around me at the moment and I wanna share it all. Oh, guess who’s performing at the MMVAs? Both my girlfriends. haha.

off campus trippin’

I like to leave little things, notes, stickers around. Kinda like bread crumbs in Hansel and Gretel to remember where I’ve been. My team found this little note at one of drawing the stations. The big wooden staircase is really pretty,  one of my favorite things about the AGO. Haven’t been there in a while and man, it was so nice to be there again. Got a new membership card and prolly gonna go hang there this weekend. Members lounge has wifi + coffee + sunshine. YEAH boyeee. This fine group is who I work with with, we’re the MuchMTV Marketing team. All the peeps Tweet and from L-R  are Gregg (another Stewart!), Ashley, Justin, Me, Kingsley & Mike. We’re all looking very ‘stripey’ together. Nice pose by me, haha.  One person missin’ is our boy, all-star intern Wee Magee. Look at these studs Andy, Elvis AND Greg Stewart! Love Gallery Italia, this part of the AGO is sooo lovely in the sunshine, especially in the middle of a weekday afternoon. Kinda looks like a pic from unhappyhipsters.com. Then we went for beers, ya! Happy hipsters! All in a days work. I was chillin’ with ma new kicks. Had some eats to wash down my beerski. Yum. Then I headed home in the sunshine to band practice.
