But right now, we are alive and in this moment I swear we are infinite.

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.”

Excited for the Perks of Being a Walflower movie. Trailer came out last night during the MTV Awards.  If you are in Canada you can not see this trailer but you can watch at mtv.ca. I have never understood why MTV Canada does not let you embed their videos. Lame guys!


Song frm the trailer. So good. “I’m never changing who I am“. Lead singer is potential boyfriend Dan Reynolds, dreamboat.

And I love her.

And you.

Lifestyle Trends This Week – June 2, 2012

I publish a lot of things on the Internet. I’ve been told is it’s hard to keep up with’.

To me it is art. I have an obsessive compulsive obsession to make/build art/things/memories. Documentation is addicting. I’ve had days without Internet, I start scratching, yelling, freaking out, no just kidding, I do get antsy around 4pm. It happens more in weekends, sometimes I don’t feel like it then I miss it.

My favorite social media sites right now are Instagram, Pinterest, Viddy and I use Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to share them.

This is what happened this week.

Yellow and red were hot colours on my Instagram and Pinterest

20120602-014409.jpg

A Viddy I posted of a wizard guy with a fushingi ball was on the ‘whats’s hot page’. I used to go CRAZY using 12seconds.tv years ago, similar thing but not as awesome. Viddy is like Instagram for videos! It has filters, music, and a 15 second time clock. My profile is viddy/casiestewart. It’s intrgrated with Facebook timeline if you have’t noticed.

20120602-014917.jpg

I really love the DIY projects from Honestly WTF. I pinned this gorgeous Louis Vuitton studded collar from the 2012 Cruise Collection and a couple weeks ago I (started) one just like it. Mine’s not ready to come out yet.

Weather is gloomy. About to do some work around the house and vaguely movies, currently on something about British school girls in boarding school on Cosmo. The sun came out for a few seconds, captured its soul. If you are still in the dark ages with an old phone you can browse any user’s Instaphotos in Statigram.

Barbie made brekky. Beauty!

Get off the couch or become the couch, do what you want!

Bon weekend! 🙂

Circadian Rythm, Reflective Clothing

Cleaning up my office today was so good. I’m BACK! Made sewing corner and set up my sewing machine. I call her Zoey and its really about time we spent some time together. I have some patterns I’vebeen dying to make and this is the perfect time. There are so many simple things in style I could make and heaps of DIYs on the web.

20120602-175752.jpg

Note on paper says this probably was written a year ago, fitting for today. Title of post was scribbled on the paper too. I don’t know the significance. I have a bad memory.

It’s cold outside,
Wanna stay warm,
Wind whipping my windows,
Winding my thoughts,
Whirl wind, words spin

I always wrap things around my head. I like my head covered. I like the way it feels. Thinking about wearing a gorgeous vintage silk turban tonight.

20120602-175757.jpg

This is one of my old favourite quotes by the best Dr. around.This almost blank notepad was uncovered when I excavated office junk mountain. It’s amazing the treasures you find cleaning!

20120602-175802.jpg

Must get ready & find something to wear tonight. Lauren and I are going to the Future of Art & Music warehouse party, ‘FOAM. It’s at Brickworks and there are all kinds of art, music, food & beverage things going on. Lozzie Pops did her first segment on the news for CBC today. I woke up early to catch her. So cute. Fav person on Canadian TV.

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.

20120601-094234.jpg

I love when it rains. Joe Fresh denim shirt dress, Hunter wellies, Gap kids rubber jacket, Toronto Star cartoon brolly. Sadly, my brolly caught a bad case of wind on the way to the conference and he is no longer with us.

20120601-094243.jpg

Made it to Women in Business conference, found power supply. The guy on stage just used a word I don’t know, can someone explain ‘rolodex?’

20120601-094257.jpg

See what I did here? We start filming Monday. I’m really excited. Been waiting for THIS for my whole life.

20120601-094303.jpg

You know how I always tell you to be positive and make the most of each day? Well, I really freaking mean it. The only way to attract good and wonderful things into your life is to put it out there. Like attracts like, the power of attraction is about particles of matter.

Had a great sister date yesterday, look at these babes. LOVE YOU GIRLS.

20120601-094357.jpg

Thank you Bobby for this kind Tweet one day we will meet. Brands, listen up!

“One of the best “brands” on social media is @casiestewart … she has leveraged numerous outlets to build a tremendous business & brand! #ff

Title is a quote by James Matthew Barrie quotesScottish Dramatist and Novelist who is best known as the creator of Peter Pan. Cheers to Tink, the original pixie fairy girl.

Have an awesome day 🙂

Now.

Seize that damn day.

If not now, when?

Good Things Are Coming Your Way

Have a busy day today starting with the 2012 Women in Biz conference. I’m an invited guest of General Motors Canada. Thank you! In the afternoon I’m heading to the 3F store for a PR appointment to do some styling.

20120531-005040.jpg

Every time I go into 3F I’m so glad to be part of the team. There was a heap of new items in bright colours. I picked up these BRIGHT yellow high waisted skinny jeans along with a black vest. Jeans fit great, actually went down a size!

I love the fabrics and the softness of everything. Since the parent company specializes in textiles for high end brands, they’re all good quality. Bell bottom blue jean, baby.

20120531-005051.jpg

Picking a contest winner to receive a $100 store gift card. Deets here.

Hoping to talk cars with GM at the conference today and see about taking one of these camaros for a couple days. I love the old ones and I bet Dad would be wrapped if I showed up in one of these!

20120531-005103.jpg

Walked down Yonge Street like a tourist yesterday. It was lovely. Everything changes so much it’s nice to walk around and stare at everything with new eyes.

20120531-005132.jpg

Yonge Dundas Square is always full of things happening. This guy had some pretty magical skills with a crystal ball. Watch. It’s only 15 seconds. I’m convinced he plays a Wizard on the weekends.

20120531-005144.jpg

The power for good given to us in this world will be continued beyond it.

Mum still has my copy packed away at home. I loved this book. I still do.

Skinny Girl Drinks, Nails Done, Brownie Pops, No Voice

All in a days work! Thank you to the wonderful team at Praxis PR for hosting a heap of the city’s hottest ladies for the launch of new drinks by Bethenny Frankel’s brand ‘Skinny Girl’. I love the chance to chitty chat with all my ladies. The food was excellent and all the drinks were all low cal. I had way too many of the cake pops that were actually brownie. I’ll be at the gym kthxbai.

20120530-105820.jpg

It was hosted by Dina from Breakfast TV & she loves my style NBD.

20120530-105840.jpg

20120530-105856.jpg

Lozzie Pop’s on her bike, so cute. I need a new bike!

20120530-105907.jpg

Front window at The Drake Hotel always has neat art, these blanket people threw me for a loop!

20120530-105914.jpg

Stopped by Bloke & 4th on my way home for Taylor’s birthday & ran into my good friend, wait for it, you know him… PJ PHIL! The flash totally blinked out my tan but whatever.

20120530-105922.jpg

 

Here is your mantra for the day…

20120530-105929.jpg

Oh and I still have no voice 🙁

Have an awesome day! Gonna try and catch some rays in the park later.

FIRST ONE TO THE FUTURE WINS

20120522-143047.jpg

Back to life. Back to reality.

My most popular Instagram photo in the last few days. I love it. I took stereographic of the lake in Muskoka, other from my balcony using 360 for iPhone, taped together with Diptic app, and sent to Instagram.

I’ve been mostly active on Instagram, Pinterest & Tumblr for fun lately. I update them with all different stuff so follow along! My Pin boards are all neatly organized, Instagram is life photos, Tumblr is a mix of things I find pretty/funny/weird on the internet.

I love Internet. I love iPhone. I love life.

 

20120522-143323.jpg

This also happened today! Crazy! Window cleaning dude scared the crap out of me.
Oh, yikes, a big bottle of Collingwood Whisky just arrived as a late birthday present. GOTTA GO!

SUMMER: @PepsiCanada taste challenge, #freebeer, patios!

20120518-102654.jpg

This is the big rig that will be travelling across the country seeing millions of people go through the Ultimate Pepsi Taste Challenge. It converts from a truck to a full on Pepsi station to hang out in. They call it “Poptimus Prime“.

This time last year I was hosting my own little Pepsi party for Pepsi Throwback. I’m sure you remember THIS:

The team has a whole bunch of stuff planned and there’s a good chance you’ll run into their young energetic group assembled with people from across Canada. This is a full 360 of what I saw at the media preview taken from iPhone.

20120522-121627.jpg

You’ll notice they’re really using technology to make the ol’ taste test we knew as kid, super modern. Check out their Facebook/PepsiCanada for when & when to catch ‘Poptimus Prime’ and the @PepsiCanada team.

20120518-102732.jpg

20120518-102709.jpg

MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR!

20120518-102721.jpg

Hey look, Shannon was on the board as I was AT the challenge! TALK ABOUT SOCIAL!

20120518-102758.jpg

In the afternoon I caught the Bud Light Mojito truck giving out free beers. Rumour has it they will be around MuchMusic all month and near King Spadina. Two drinks, perfect for afternoon stop in the park.

20120518-102818.jpg

When you are on the go 25/8/366 you are likely to run out of iPhone battery. Bobcat from Boston sent me this rad charger for my birthday. Charge at home, keep in purse for on the go. It gives you about two hours talk time. Essential for beach party, park chilling and boat rides. Made by Brookstone.

20120518-102825.jpg

Next stop was William’s Landing in Liberty Village for the launch of Somersby Cider by Carlsberg. This is the Carlsberg man John Porter. Cute accent!

20120518-102844.jpg

Sat in the sun with the lovely Carla Catherwood and Cory Lee. I’m not much of a cider girl but surprisingly, it tastes like carbonated apple juice and I drank my samples that very night.

20120518-102855.jpg

20120522-121648.jpg

ENJOY THE DAY! THE SUNSHINE!

Next up I’ve got a contest for some tickets to NXNE. You’ll be able to come hear me speak! 😛

Thanks for tuning in, love & light to you,

Close your eyes, take it all in.

Boat. Sun. Lake.
Coffee, canoe, kayak.
Water sounds. Bacon smells.
Birds chirping. Blue skies.
Trees, talking in the distance.
Refreshing. Relaxed. Warm.

Happy Monday! Back to the city tonight, concrete jungle, castle in the sky. Make the most of the day, it’s beautiful out!
