das awesome.

I’m a rad driver. Have grown to love driving since I’ve been doing it more lately (Toyota Matrix, Chevy Cruize, Ford Fusion). My fav one today was the Tijuan.

VW driving blogger blonde.

OUTTA THE WAY BUDDY, MAMA’S COMIN’! haha

No seriously though, ripped corners mega hard. Crushed the brakes, tested them good. Liked having a pro driver in the passenger seat too. Track driving is fun, I like testing high performance things.

Keri is a good driver. She has a VW and it’s featured in her show The Canadian Explorer.

Starting to quite enjoy the Olympus PEN camera. Took some getting used to. When I get better I’d like to try some difference lenses.  Fancy, huh.

Wear good shoes for optimal driving performance & cuteness.

Speaking of cuteness…

Thanks for a fun afternoon VW!

GO AHEAD: this is your life.

jaunting about.

So many photos from last night. Was a great time. Stayed at the SoHo with about 30 other writers, & notables for a staycation with jaunt.ca. It was really fun. Thanks to the Jaunt team for spoiling us. You’re great.

First time staying there. Rooms are nice and so is the service. Thank you.

Our night started with cocktails & deserts. Tasty treats. Mostly ate fruit & strawberries dipped in white or spicy dark chocolate. Please adopt me SoHo. I want to live in you.

Limos to the gallery.

Hi kids.

Welcome to Neubacher Shore Contemporary for a private gallery tour.

Cute outfit.

Nice to hang out with Julian & Sam.

Bonga calls me Sam too.  Samuel.

Nice dress SNP. Kitty matched Julian. Long skirt love.

I’d like to own a gallery when I grow up.

Interactive.

Went for dinner after this. It was so many courses. Save that for another day!

Was introduced to Merkley on Flickr yesterday. His photos are awesome! Gonna try & get some good ones like this at the hotel tonight. So far exciting day. Hope yours is too.

 

Oh, by the way. Guess what I’m getting next week…

A NEW BOYFRIEND!

 He’s gonna make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world. Our blind date is Monday at 10:30am. Practically an arranged marriage cause I know I’m going to love him.


* got title from Forbes Magazine after this article about Klout from their CEO. Good read!

something really special (about my bed)

Got something really, really neat in the mail yesterday. Any guesses?

A cape? A toga outfit? Nope…

Au Lit Fine Linens sent me 100% Egyptian Cotton Linens with MY NAME ON THEM!

Did I ever have a great sleep last night.

In August they have a White Sale: UP TO 50% OFF entire store!

  • Au Lit Fine Linens: 2049 Yonge Street, Toronto
  • Au Lit Outlet: 2045 Yonge Street, Toronto (Great deals)
  • LIV by Au Lit: 418 Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto (Home & Fashion)

In other news…

These are the old Docs I took back the other day.

See the eyes on the front are not attached to the actual shoe? Docs don’t wear out that often but (if you have been reading this blog for a while) you know I am hard on things. I put everything through the “Casie Stewart: this is my life” test which is heaps of use and lots of wear. I’m REALLY great at testing products, especially electronics & clothes. (HINTY HINT)

The things about Docs is they last forever. The shop on Queen Street kindly replaced my pair with a shiny new set of boots. When Fall rolls around I’ll be rockin’ them with that sexy leather jacket I picked up from Holts during the Crystal Light Challenge.

 

Tonight I’m staying at the SOHO Hotel with a friend courtesy of Jaunt.ca and tomorrow Keri and I are doing the Volkswagen Driving Tour. I’m gonna zip around in a TDI. Vroooooooooooooooom.

 Gonna be a great weekend! Happy FRIDAY!
