This time of year is so magical. Meghan and I tool a little break from work to have a swing and admire the trees in Bellwoods.

It’s amazing how energized and free your mind feels after swinging in the air. Go outside and try it!

Mastercard Stylicity Celebrates the Canadian Tuxedo

Fashion week events kicked off last night with Mastercard Stylicity at The Bay on Queen Street. The fashion community gathered for an exclusive event seeking to redefine the eye catching denim-on-denim Canadian Tuxedo. Special guests included The Coveteur’s Stephanie Mark and HBC Fashion Director Suzanne Timmins.

YOU HAD ME AT TUXEDO!

I rolled up with Brock Mclaughlin and we were up to are usual shenanigans of course. I picked up these glasses from Top Shop. They reminded us of Andy Warhol.

These book trees are beautiful. I wish I had room for one at the house.

Thanks Mastercard Stylicity and The Bay for the gift card. We all got to pick a card from a magical bowl and although they each had  some value, there was only ONE with a huge payout. Mine was $10 which I appreciate!

Blogger discount? No, JK.. It was an error but I had a LOL.

Where do I order these socks or high heel feet? Um, hello!

The Ballet on Ossington w/ Ivana Santilli

The Ballet on Ossington w/ Ivana Santilli

Went to Ballet on Ossington for my first time Friday night. It was a blast! We popped bottles and danced the night away with Ivana Santilli. Who is awesome by the way!

The Ballet is not ‘the ballet’ like the time I was in the Nutcracker with the National Ballet of Canada ballet, it’s just the the venue name.

Me as a Canon Doll in the Nutcracker w/ the National Ballet of Canada

It’s a sexy, fairly small, upstairs bar, with old school booths and often features burlesque dancers. See the full set of photo here, a few of my friends & favs below!

We went to have lunch with Dad then dinner with Mum in Cambridge, Ontario. The leaves are all changing and the are was warm and fresh. We spaced out the family time with a lovely walk in the park along the boardwalk where I used to go as a kid.

Still feeling so full and we’ve got a fridge topped with leftovers. I reckon it’s time for a diet!

Haven’t seen Dad in ages. Not as long as this photo, lol, I just love this one.

Too bad all the sisters won’t be there.

There’s 1/5 missing from this gif but two years ago we had a blast at Thanksgiving. All the kids were there and I made gifs of us. So fun 🙂

We went on an epic walk through the trees and down by the river. Hard to believe it was two years ago!

Ted Baker’s Dozen: Meet Redge Blaker #TedtoToe

Love the latest  campaign from Ted Baker London with their new sartorial hero “Redge Blaker”. You may recognize him as Gavin McInnes, ex-co-founder of Vice. See my previous posts with Vice Magazine here and as  Ted Baker Ambassador here.

Redge (aka Gavin) is the lead in the Baker’s Dozen videos, Winks, and of course Teditorials (Ted’s take on street style) all dressed #TedtoToe. Can’t wait to pop into the Yorkdale store this week and pick up myself something from the AW collection in time for World Mastercard Fashion Week. It’s <7 days away!

Canon Photo Session with an Award Winning Photojournalist

Canon Photo Session with an Award Winning Photojournalist

Recently I had a session with a professional photographer as part of my Canon Blogtography Ambassador program. It was all five Canadian Canon Ambassadors in the beautiful Distillery District for dinner and working photo session. We were joined by  Steve Russell, a Toronto Star photojournalist who walked us through some tips to improve our photos. Over dinner, he shared stories of travel and celebrity encounters over the course of his career. Steve has not once, but twice won Photojournalist of the year!

Canon Blogtography Photos by Casie Stewart

I really love the Distillery District for it’s sheer beauty. It’s filled with heritage and  old buildings.

IMG_5612

IMG_5609

I’m pretty creative, as you know but I’m trying to show that through my Canon photos.  I snapped pix of things I found interesting and tried to take a different perspective, focussing on little elements in the area. We were there during sunset ‘magic hour’, a great time to get outside and take photos.

IMG_5608

This man was sitting alone playing guitar, there was something magical about him. Steve helped us with how to set our camera to take photos of moving things in order to keep them crisp. I need more practice as you can see this lady on the bike is looking pretty fuzzy.

Some Tips I Learned from A Professional Photojournalist

There were lots of take-aways from our dinner and photo session but below are some of the things I learned from Steve.

  •  How to hold your camera so you don’t look like a total noob – put the camera flat on your hand, don’t hold your pinky up like a dork, don’t be afraid to lean into the shot
  • Rule of thirds – this is key to composing beautiful shots
  • Squaring up your photos – match straight lines, think about composure
  • Cropping your pictures –  you might want to crop your photos when you get back to the drawing board aka computer to highlight certain elements of your shot
  • Contrasting colour – think about how the colours go together in your shot, contrasting colours can really help to bring out creative elements
  • How to hold your camera so you don’t look like a total noob – put the camera flat on your hand, don’t hold your pinky up like a dork, don’t be afraid to lean into the shot
  • Rule of thirds this is key to composing beautiful shots
  • Squaring up your photos – match straigh lines, think about composure
  • Cropping your pictures –  you might want to crop your photos when you get back to the drawing board aka computer to hilight certain elements of your shot
  • Contrasting colour – think about how the colours go together in your shot, contrasting colours can really help to bring out creative elements

IMG_5595

One of the things I’m really learning from being a Canon Ambassador is how to actually use my camera without keeping it on Auto. (I was a MAYJAHHH auto user, only because I didn’t know what I was doing!) If you’re  looking for a great resource to learn more about aperture, exposure and ISO settings visit canonoutsideofauto.ca.

Above, Andrew (@dobbernation) was taking a photo of me taking a photo of him on his phone through the camera. SUPER META! Here’s his shot on Instagram.

I love this weather and time of year for the sheer beauty of photos. I can’t wait to get out in the wild with my new Canon DSLR at the cottage this weekend and snap some photos. Have a new Canon post coming up next week.

Saw this beauty new mural in progress near Queen and Niagara. It’s full of bright colours and even on a rainy day, was a beauty to see.

What Came First – The Chicken or the Mercedes?

What Came First – The Chicken or the Mercedes?

Watched both of these in the last 24 hours. The LG one is funnier I reckon but both good. I love the LG one but that’s probably because of the accent and  location that remind me of the hills of beautiful New Zealand.

What Came First - The Chicken or the Mercedes? #advertising #thisismylife

On YouTube, the Mercedes Benz chicken is dated Sept. 23rd, 2013 on w/ 3,983,000+ views and the LG chicken is dated Sept. 27th, 2013 w/ 503,400+ views. They’ve been making news on Mashable and more. I wonder if the chickens are related or have the same agent?

Who are the creatives and where did they both get the divine idea to use chicken head motion to illustrate the product at the SAME TIME? Reddit probably.

‘David Bowie Is’ at AGO. I saw him!

Went on a private tour of ‘David Bowie Is’ at the AGO this morning with some Community colleagues. Later this week they start the Ago 1st Thursday events and our client Drambuie is a sponsor.

The exhibit was so freaking cool. It’s matched up with Sennheiser Sound so that as you travel from room to room the audio is updated and talks you through the exhibit or plays a song to go with the art. It was pretty amazing, not gonna lie! It’s the first time I’ve experienced a 3D sound system quite like that.

You Never Really Know What Will Happen

What’s going to happen from one day to the next. All you can do is think positive and do your best. Woke up this morning after a great sleep to the sounds of raindrops on the roof top patio. Got ready and jumped in a cab to work.

Got an email that made my day, it was something I’d been thinking about, dreaming of, then voila, it happened. I’ll share with you eventually. Have a bunch of meetings so went out to grab lunch early. There’s something so refreshing about the rain, I feel like I could walk for hours today. Speaking at an event after work. Looking forward to winter weather, hibernating, and organizing the house.

Decided to reflect back on some posts tagged ‘rain’ from over the years. The best things about having a blog is the ability to look back on the past and see how far you’ve come. And how much you’re changed.

Don’t  let the rain get you down, use it as inspiration to build you up. Or just lay around and watch movies like I did ALL DAY yesterday. I didn’t even tweet once for the whole day. A digital detox was just what I needed.

Sending sunshine your way 🙂

TEDxToronto 2013: The Choices We Make

TEDxToronto 2013: The Choices We Make

image

Yesterday I attended TedXTOronto. This was my third TEDx experience and it was great. One of the things I love so much about these events is the people who attend. It was a chance for me to chat with many of the smart and  inspiring people I’ve met over the last couple years.

The theme this year was ‘the Choices We Make’ and talks revolved around choices people had made in their lives that made a big impact in the world, or were going to one day. One of the choices I made that day was to wear a sweater and hat over a t-shirt. I didn’t realize it was going to be over 20 degrees in the afternoon! It was scorching out! The Royal Conservatory is a beautiful building but the beaming sun turned it into a sauna!

Loved seeing live Sysomos data from tweets and chatting at the event. I’m a sucker for data!

Props to @KevinSpacey for this Inspiring Talk!

Last year I was offered a subscription to Netflix Canada. This was huge for me! Netflix saw I loved them and offered me a subscription in return for sharing what I watch on Facebook. This was a-ok for me. I watched the ENTIRE House of Cards (13, 1 hours eps) in one weekend. Some of my fav series are Orange is the New Black, United States of Tara, Archer, House of Cards, and all the TED videos. I  watch A LOT of movies. (Don’t judge me for watching Clueless often!)

“If you’re watching a TV show on your iPad is it no longer a TV show?”

Key Takeaways

  • We can take a bite out of piracy
  • The audience wants the control, if they want to binge we should let them
  • We learned the lesson the music industry didn’t learn
  • People are more likley to pay for it rather than steal it (most the time!)
  • What defines a film?
  • Is a TV show on an iPad no longer a TV show?
  • The device and length are irrlevant
  • For kids growing up now there is no difference, it’s all content, it’s just stories
  • The audience has spoken, they want stories!

This conference talk by Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) made me feel SO inspired about the future of internet, film, and television. On demand viewing is the FUTURE of TV. Remember last year when I said “INNOVATE OR DIE?”. Pay attention, you don’t want to be left behind people!
