Toronto International Film Fest: Tastemakers Lounge

Toronto International Film Fest: Tastemakers Lounge

When celebrities come to town for TIFF they get invited to lounges to see & receive new & exciting products. Media get invites too. It’s a way for companies to get their products in the hands of stars and journalists. The Tastemakers Lounge is hosted by RockIt and they do an excellent job of bringing together brands & people. I took my PA Kate for the experience it and too take photos. New glasses from FYSH. Thanks Team! I picked out new glasses from FYSH NATION last year too. This is me rockin’ them w/ Morgan Ross at Strombo’s TIFF party. Next it was time to pick out bracelets and charms from PANDORA. Kate  took home a few goodies too. Kate chose macrame black leather and I picked sterling silver. See all the styles here. I chose a wee little birdy. Twitter <3 Planning to have some serious game nights this winter cause Mattel has hooked me up with rad games. I picked up and ANGRY BIRDS sling shot! REAL ANGRY BIRDS! I played it at their Mattel Game Night over the summer. It’s fun. Was given this gorgeous silk eyemask from Cilque and OH MY GOD I slept with it last night. My eyes were in the clouds and I had an amazing sleep. I’m dying for a set of Cilque sheets and robe to match. Made friends with team Sharpie. I carry Sharpie’s with me all the time and had one in my purse to proove it. Then Kate and I raided the drawers. Got limited edition 80’s glam colours too! Told the team how I always start out with Sharpie for tattoo ideas. I drew this bracelet tatt on my left arm on with two different green Sharpie’s for about three years before I got it. If you draw something cool you can upload it to the…

these are a few of my favourite things (right now)

these are a few of my favourite things (right now)

This post if full of things that add glitter to my life. Thought I’d share with ya. Bangs from Doll Bar, Olympus PEN, vintage hats. I’ve been trying a new routine of going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. Once you get outta bed, you can really accomplish heaps before the day really started. That’s my September goal: do more before 10am than most people do in a whole day. My October goal is: go to England or New Zealand. Settin’ em high. YES WE CAN. Sprocket Rocket camera from Lomography. I’ve got heaps of film because, frankly, I’m not that good at using the camera so I need to take heaps of shots before I can be considered good. Analogue is haaaarrrrrrd. New duvet cover is the alphabet, say hello to my ALPHA bed. See what I did there? Oh yeah, creative play on words. New flowery pillow looks painted and that eye mask is from Keri. I sleep with an eye mask pretty much every night. I live in a glass box, it’s SO SUPER sunny in the AM! Although, getting to sleep is never a problem thanks to my new memory foam mattress. According to bestmattress-reviews, there are a number of quality options at a lower price than you’d think. Gadget love: iPad (Andy), Macbook Air (James Dean), Android (Motorola DEFY), Logitech wireless mouse. I spend most the day with these guys. Ok, here’s something really amazing….you won’t BELIVE how tall I am with these legendary things strapped on. Aren’t they beautiful? They’re Jeffrey Campbell and I ordered them online at Solestruck. They’re like stilts. Move over Buskerfest. Comfy and good for walking. Film Fest, I am ready for you with my giant shoes. I’ve been using Mereadesso cleanser w/ face & neck toning gel and…

Weekend Tune: “Cheers (Drink To That)” by Rihanna

Weekend Tune: “Cheers (Drink To That)” by Rihanna

Sometimes we all just need a good pop song. Sometimes a pop song just does the trick. And this dear internet amigos, is one of those songs. RiRi just does it up right. She even samples some Avril Lavigne, and I’m going to be honest – I  am not the biggest Avril fan! But in this song? Yeah, I can dig it. Can I go on tour? This video makes me wanna go on tour. It just looks like the best kind of fun. Guess I’ll send out some roadie resumes. In the meantime? Let’s soak up those last bits of summer sun and fun. So cheers to the freakin’ weekend! And I’ll drink to that! xo Kate

Contests

grind it.

grind it.

Last week I went into Grindhouse Burger Bar to test out their burgers. They’re in a city wide burger challenge so my friend/owner Rob invited me in to taste the goodness. I was starving at the time so it worked out awesome. No Coke or Pepsi products, Cane Cola has been around for over 100 years and uses real cane sugar. Was impressed to learn that all their menu items are made in-house. This includes ketchup & all the sauces! They have a bunch of fancy burgers but I went for their gourmet big mac style. You know I love my maccas. These onion rings were SO good. 🙂 Grindhouse is one of 4 Toronto Burger joints downtown who are up for to win ‘Best Burger‘ during the Hot & Spicy Food Festival. The winner demos the winning burger recipe with a “Hot & Spicy” side. Event is hosted by Catherine Jheon, writer and content producer for foodnetwork.ca. It all goes down Friday, September 2 at Harbourfront Centre @ 9pm. See ya there! Vote for Grindhouse here. Thanks for lunch Rob. Hope you guys win!

Weekend Tune: “When The Night Falls” by Chromeo ft. Solange Knowles

Weekend Tune: “When The Night Falls” by Chromeo ft. Solange Knowles

Happy weekend everybody! Hopefully you’re all cutting loose and enjoying these hot summer nights! If not, here’s a tune to help from Montreal electrofunk duo Chromeo featuring Beyonce’s lil’sis Solange Knowles! Warning: This music video might get you pregnant… Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Chromeo just can’t be controlled. Not familiar with their amazing disco dance tracks? Let me introduce you! “P-Thugg” is the pimp on keyboards, synthesizers, and talk box. “Dave 1” is that dashing fellow singing and playing guitar. He also teaches French classes. Together, they are Chromeo. And Chromeo = Good times. “When The Night Falls” is the fourth single off their third album Business Casual, which is jam packed with jams to party to. You can follow them on Twitter here, and you can check out their tour dates here. They hit up Toronto in November and I highly recommend you be there. Enjoy! xo Kate

your life is your movie.

your life is your movie.

  Writing my movie one day at a time. I loved shooting this commercial yesterday. No telling what it is for but it will be funny and might be up early as next weekend. You will know when it is. This big camera and crew were shooting ME! I love it. More please. Auditioning for a show tonight. Fingaz crossed! What kinda face is that Miss? My role was “hipster girl” and wardrobe said she liked what I was wearing and I should wear my own clothes. I’ve been method acting for this role for years. Acting is fun. Did my first commercial when I was 16. It was for an electric toothbrush and it aired in the States. Man I would LOVE to find it. I had braces and I made like $500. Do you know where this is? This street near Danforth & Broadview has so many beautiful houses. I rode this baby ALL over town yesterday. Front/Spadina to Queen/Logan, back home, then Queen/Spadina to Danforth/Broadview and home again. I went to the Drake after and took a taxi, enough biking for one day. I don’t work out (often) so I really love biking. I’ll workout more in the winter when it’s cold outside. (Doesn’t everyone say that?) Sheryl this bike has made me enjoy summer so much. Thank you for giving it to me! My new watch is sexy, I love it. Pretty view of the city from over here. I didn’t hang out in this park much when I lived in the area. Cool. Not cool. Worked with a bunch of nice people yesterday.

eight hours of sleep really energizes you!

eight hours of sleep really energizes you!

I only have a minute but if I don’t blog before I start my day, thoughts on blogging linger like a screen over everything I do. I’m rushing to location to shoot that commercial. My role is ‘hipster girl’, I know, I was made for this. After that back home writing for fun client/cool project. Tonight there are so many things happening, I have a fall preview of brands I really like so hopefully that means new clothes! BBQ at School and summer hangout at the Drake for SAY Media my advertising company. Loving the grass on our balcony. If you are interested in getting a quote, as me. Falling in L.O.V.E. with my new Hamilton watch. It’s so pretty. Some specs: has a 34 mm case diameter, stainless steel case and bracelet, sapphire (scratch-resistant) crystal, is water resistant to 50 m (or a pressure of 5 bars); this watch features an ETA 2671-calibre elaborated movement. SHWING! (Feather tattoo, love you too!) Had a meeting last night at the Globe & Mail w/ Stephen about our new show launching September 8th. It’s online and gonna be great. For now I only tell you a wee bit. Ok. Must. Stop. Blogging. Have an awesome day! Byeeeeeeee.
