the loft has some what of an alice in wonderland feeling

 Lauren & I started out at the Loft 404 on Saturday for My City Lives  “One Night in Toronto“. Love that space. Thanks Genna! Have you been there? It’s an “urban oasis”. Reminds me a bit of my Auntie Robyn’s old place somewhere near Ponsonby Road in Auckland, New Zealand. Loved the photo booth in the old elevator. See part pix on My City Lives FB. Hadn’t taken my camera out to a party for a week so I brang her along for the night. Did a brief sting at Wrongbar. Then back again! This shot  is for you Dad. Car inside as a table kinda decoration wall mount. Amira you are RAD  🙂 I played a little tune on the piano and we left to climb through King Street and catch a cab West. We made the walk fabulous before finishing up the night. Emma you looked fabulous. King West on Saturday night is so douchey and crazy. Cop everywhere. No taxis. I usually avoid but this time was unavoidable. No shoes, no shame. Been there, it sucks. Ross is back. We missed him. Lauren blogged some photos on her bloggy here.

a slice of paradise in your own backyard

Had a lovely afternoon in the sun today. Picked up a new paid of Doc’s at the Dr. Martens Store (I’m the Mayor!). I gad a gift certificate from the team to get a any pair I saw at the Fall preview back in July. I got black polished laredo Serena’s, last size 6 they had. Lucky me!  Stopped by Quicksilver and got a pair of board shorts & a matching top for my surf trip to Costa Rica next week. So excited to surf. Visited the lovely  ladies at Get Outside  for a new pair of plain black Havaianas (trashed my old ones at the end of summer). Got may nails done on my way home. I love the hand massage you get. I wonder if I could just go in for hand massage? Is that weird? I’d say it was because I spend all day on the computer. Read my book in the balcony sun for a bit and am about to clean my room. Lauren is coming by before the My City Lives “That Night in Toronto” party and I’d like if my room didn’t look like hoarders. Hope you’re having an awesome day. Get some sun on your face! This is where we’re going tonight! Cheers to the Biz Media for making & My City Loves for sharing 🙂

The #CCSpeakeasy

I would say good morning but as I write this it’s already the late afternoon. What can I say? I’m still recovering from last night’s awesomeness. The Canadian Club Speakeasy was an old timey shindig if there ever was! Who doesn’t love dressing up all flapper-esque and pretending to be in Boardwalk Empire?! Here’s some photos I snapped of everyone dolled-up and  a ditty for you to listen along to! This car was outside and begging to be posed with. The bartenders were all dapper and pulled out some tricks as they mixed the Canadian Club cocktails. They were all Boardwalk Empire themed too. The hit of the night seemed to be the Nucky! Casie and I couldn’t help but have a mini photo shoot. The location was just so cool looking! This 1920s girl is always working! How handsome! It’s no surprise that Jason won best dressed! Although he did have some stiff competition… This Barbie is so classy! Sam and Ross all suited up! Can the men of the world just agree to dress like this all the time please? All of you guys just have a meeting and discuss it at least? Cool thanks. Well that’s all for now! Thanks so much to Canadian Club and HBO for putting on the ritz and feeding us tasty drinks! Now excuse me while I get back to my recovery and giant bottle of water. Maybe I’ll lazy about on the couch and watch something. Can you guess what? xo Kate

My friend James who runs @RebelBingo tells a story about him being a conservation hero in Zimbabue. I watched it just now and reckon you might enjoy it on this lovely Friday afternoon. Well done James.
