leaving on a jet plane

Good morning.

Had a FREAKOUT this morning. No not because of my adventure but because my  blog was hacked. Don’t do that. Seriously. Who the fuck hacks a sunshine-rainbow-fantasty-glitter blog like mine? Looooooooosers. Panic at my disco when I got the notification. Seriously. First thought, shit, I leave for NZFW today what the hell imma do? Please don’t hack things, it’s not nice.

Bad actions/vibes you put into the universe have a magnetic particles and like attracts like and they will all come back to you. Be careful.

Heaps of clothes. Thanks to Canadian designers Paris Li, Andy Hall and Nella Bella for outfitting me with style. Thanks to Telus for my phone + keeping me connected. Thanks Betty Kiss for the massive suitcase &  reversible clutches.  I packed shoes galore, Doc’s, cowboys, wellies and five other pairs. It’s fashion week followed by chill time with the fams, totes necesary. My two suit cases aren’t stuffed though, need to leave room to bring home lotsa goodies & prezzies. Taking some Tim’s coffee for a cute little blogger named Hannah in NZ.

Carry on bag is from Nella Bella, the red reno suede. It’s lovely! I always bring my sketchbook on the plane. I get inspired watching people, looking at the flight path, reading listening to music, flying in general really. Crispers S&V are my fav snack (just saw on sale at Shoppers for $0.99, go stock up on my christmas present!). I can plow through a bag of them easy. SO crunchy.

New Wired mag arrived yesterday just in time. Might actually read it sice I’m travelling. I’ve been getting it for two years and each month I browse when it arrives then leave it sitting there to rot, spine uncracked. Packed Kabbalah meditation cards, the 72 names of God, good for focus. When I get anxiety I like to pull one out, focus on the name and it helps me calm down. Must get rescue remedy.

Listening to this song right now. Check out Morgan & Birds of Wales. He’s McDreamy, expecially at the start of the video when he looks into your eyes. Met his new puppy yesterday, pretty much die for cute.

If you find one of my cards around, I would like to give you a prize. I dunno what yet. Maybe I will write you a note and send it in the mail. That would be kinda fun eh?

Gadgets galore. Missing from this pile is the Barbie cam. She’s tucked in my suitcase. I reckon she might be fun to have on the plane though. Hmm, then I can travel with a friend. Haha.

Peach out Toronto. I love you. I love all of you xo

What do you wanna be when you grow up?

I wanna be Casie Stewart. I wanna be a world brand. I want to be famous for doing something great. I wanna be loved by you.

Ok, really though…

I wanna be myself, its what I’m best at. Why be anyone else? They all be damn taken. There is only one you. Remember that. You, you are the best you that will ever be. Make a name for yourself, of yourself. The other day I did a seminar about building your personal brand, I forgot to tell the sold out show – your brand is the most valuble asset you have. There is NO other YOU.

Mum told me “when you have nothing left, all you have is your word”. Let’s hope your word has meaning, value and substance mate.

No person in this whole wide world can make more content and stuff about/for you, than you. No person can make your dreams a reality more than you can. You are the best, be that best you. Go get it soldier, getter done.

Today is about besting, be your bestest you. Nothing will make you more success than that.

Love + light xo CASIE

these lovely photos were shot by lynsie roberts. thanks babe!

this one time, i tried to vacuum…

I’ve never owned a vacuum but I do like vacuuming. I got sent this totally rad unit recently, LG Kompressor. In the handy kit from LG was this rug, dirt, coffee, cheerios and cardboard pieces so I could make a mess and clean it up to test how great the unit was. Well, I thought it was a crazy awesome idea to be all home shopping network and show you how good I am at that kind of thing.

Yeah, not so much.

So I set it up like this.

Then this happened…watch with amazement and enjoy the music.

No really, enojy the music.

So, I got dirt and stuff all over the rug AND our carpet. I do not recommend trying to vacuum piles of coffee, dirt, cheerios and cardboard AT THE SAME TIME. Otherwise, the unit is lovely. Quiet and sucks really hard. Haha.

i’m over you baby, i’m moving on

Richard from Monster Media took this one. Sums up TIFFest pretty good I reckon. Thank you TIFF, Stella and all the agencies and all the people who have had me out to great events and films over the last week or so. It’s been my best year at TIFF ever and I’m throwing in the towel.  Need to rest up and get ready to take on New Zealand. Was at  (diet) Coke party first last night, was fun. They had a photo booth, you know I love that. Rode in a big Coke limo. Fun fun crazy. Shiny disco balls.

Wore some recent goodies I’ve been given last night: Vest + skirt from Old Navy. White shirt + boots from Marks WW. Heart locket H&M. Lipstick is Poppy from Joe Fresh new makeup collection. Thanks guys.

Boots are quite lovely. Nice colour and salt proof. Gonna test that hard this winter, walking in snow banks.

Andrew F Stewart & Rannie, Photojunkie.

Sent Rochelle to Festival Music House in my place but then I showed up anyways later. Was a guestlist asshole bringing people. I don’t like to do that but it was necessary last night. Appreciate Rock-It Promo for being so kind to me and not being mad at me.

This looks good on me. Brocklyn was a hit again last night. Rising star he is. Watch it.

Carly is his agent now. Her talent roster is a garden of awesome in bloom.

Woke up to a message that I’ve got a minder/wrangler for NZFW. She’s a NZ hottie who goes by the name of Venus Tong, she is the head bitch at Party of Wolves, nightlife photography. I’ve also got a car picking me up at the airport. Hoping a handsome man in uniform is holding a sign with my name on it. Fingers crossed!

I love life. We are dating, we might even get married. Yes, crazy it sounds but crazy I am so whatever. Now in a comitted relationship. I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love LIFE.

XO CASIE
