notable’s chilean wine tasting @ the spoke club

Hey girl wha you doin? Thanks for having me & friends Julian. Looking forward to the launch of Notable.ca. I’m Jon Crowley. Nuff said. Food was good too. Lamb, ILU. Mario, you need to shoot me one of these days. Sooner than later! Our names are Reggie – Reggie & Reggie. You are SUCH a foodie JO! Babe watch: Pam, Karly, Keri This was my fav wine of the night: This was second. A friend intro’d me to this a couple years back. This girl was prize winner. I think that guy is my neighbour. Wine tasting was great but I reckon I’ve got a two glass limit. I know drinking is different than tasting but this was more of a drinking/tasting. I used to love wine, could polish off a bottle easy. It gives me a hurting in my chest, like acid reflux when I have to much now. Especially the next day. Urgh. Am I getting old? My birthday is next weekend. I have planned nothing. Ahhh. Ok have a wonderful day! It’s lovely out there.

photoset: spring hits toronto, down by the lake

Love this dress. Boots Jenie got second hand then gave to me. LOVE YOU! Beautiful. This is how you know it it Spring. Isn’t it so pretty? Yes. (Turn head/ipad sideways) Now we are at the Toronto Music Garden. My fav spot. Listening to this: Norwegian Wood It is very pretty here. I love taking photos. Am I creative genius? I heard someone say that. Sabrina’s Mum picked out these tights. Flowers, blue. ILU. My religionon Facebook is “when the sun shines through the clouds”. I feel so at peace when I come here. This reno is new this summer. I took the path less travel by and it made all the difference 🙂

spring mixer @ Harry Rosen Inc

Attended a Spring shopping party at Harry Rosen the other night. There was a band, live radio broadcast & free drinks. Julio and I had a good chuckle. I like to have fun at these fashioney things y’know. Jacket: Covet from Bicyclette, Tights: Adrian Hailwood, NZ, Bag: Nella Bella, Dress: American Apparel, Giggles: Julio These pix are from Fashion Nights (click to see their coverage of the event). These guys are The Darcy’s and they were playing live. Rumor has it Harry Rosen plans to have more ‘Underground Lounge’ events. I approve of this rumor and fully support. Aren’t they cute? Ok my pix now. I was daydreaming about an army of Casie-Bots like this… I took my very own dream boat and we shopped denim. Option numero uno: Option deux was a hit with me, the sales guy and the ladies who walked by saying “hot”. Thanks Michael Rozenwald for your help. Sold. Shopping parties are fun. Nice to see everyone & nice clothes. One of the things I did not like was this scissor wall. Freaked me right out. One of the things I did like was this D&G ‘Cry Baby’ Johnny Depp tee. As seen on Whiz Kalifa here. (Scissors, scissor hands Johnny, connection there?) Save yourself the ≈$200 price tag & to Bang-On & make one yourself. DIY FTW!

good date movie, good girl movie, highly relevant: #textuality

The other day I had the pleasure of attend the Canadian premiere of TEXTUALITY at the Bell Lightbox. Man, they have comfy chairs there. Go see a movie if you have not yet. Marc & Liam did a great job of creating this movie. I was also pleased to see my friend, the lovely Anna Cyzon as part of the cast. She’s a darling and she ALSO got to make out with the Absolute Hunk, Smith Jarred aka Jason Lewis! Naturally, I asked her about it. “Filming with J. Lewis was a blast. he was great. I’ve bee a SACT for years so when I was told about the part I was like “wait,you mean you need me to.. ugh yeah im in!” I’m a big fan of things Canadian that have to do with technology and especially when it’s a RomCom (my fav kind of movie). I found it to be funny, cute and relevant to the way dating & relationships are these days. All the txting, Facebooking, Tweeting, creeping, things just ain’t what they used to be. I can only imagine what it is like to date me. I mean, you never know where or when I’m going to message you or (gasp) pick up the phone and actually call. Anna you are so cute. I asked her what her fav scene was: “Food flight scene was fun. First few takes we played it safe then it got real messy! I remember Warren Sonoda yelling, ” more whip cream!” The jacuzzi scene was prob my fave. We shot that at the Soho penthouse, it was freezing but we had bubbly … it got nice and steamy ;)” Check out the trailer and go see it with your besty or ask a hot babe you’ve been creeping. TEXTUALITY –…

inside jobs: the globe & mail + the motion room, raymi the minx & me

Here’s that vid & I shot with Raymi last month at The Motion Room for the Globe & Mail with Rosa Park. Professional blogger and fitness enthusiast Casie Stewart gets her workout on at the Toronto-based Motion Room. Globe and Mail Update: Published Tuesday, Apr. 19, 2011 6:00AM “Most people are clueless when they go to the gym and left on their own,” says James Cappellano, co-owner of The Motion Room. The Toronto-based fitness club, which opened its doors December 2010, offers results-driven experience where workouts – whether conducted alone, with a trainer or in a group – are scheduled, and performance is measured against goals set by members.

launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy

Feeling real sunny today. Thinking there are a few reasons… Let’s start with a song & I’ll tell you. Just emailed my new hire some tasks, please welcome Kate Killet to team Casie Stewart. I hope she is ready for my intenseness.This is the true test of my crazy, I am super organized and strict. I have lots of fun but I take this internetting/blog thing very seriously. Customized life FTW. Best ever. Saw this at the Converse shop on Newbury in Boston. They had a screen press for shoes upstairs fully equipped with ipad stations for designing. I Love THE FUTURE. One of the reasons I feel so sunny is I’m attending a movie at the Bell Lightbox this evening for the first time. It is the Textuality premiere and… I am bringing a date.  I never bring dates. Well, I took a dashing young Brock Mclaughlin out as arm candy  during TIFF last September and look at him now. It started his socialite career, I kid I kid. Actually, you know it’s true. I was sitting in this shop while Ellen was picking up some things, aren’t I just the cutest. Look at that smile, I bet someone just tweeted me something silly. Just kidding, I was making this. I wanna be Casie Stewart when I grow up. I know you have seen them already but I love these shoes. They are so snug and little like ballet shoes. I found them at Newbury Comics. Comic shops have really cool stuff, I have so been missing out. Duh. Anyone know someone at Vans? I would really like to see about becoming friends with these shoes. Like in every colour and 20 pairs for my BFF’s. Then we can all wear them and do a dance number. My sister…

we are all born superstars

Looking at my own house from the tarmac at Porter. It took me <15min to walk there, in heels. Who WALKS to the airport? You bet your ass I felt damn cool strollin’ rollin’ in that door. Right before I boarded the plane something awesome happened, I got my first ever FULL PATDOWN in PUBLIC! It was done by a hot babe and we were giggling. I told her I was gonna blog about it. I had the hugest smile on my face the whole time. They really pat you down all over if ya know what I mean 😉 Toronto Island is quite pretty, will look even nicer once the trees get all greened up. I really notice a differnece between my old camera (Cannon Elph) and the new camera (Olympus XZ-1) when taking shots from the air. New is MUCH clearer. Started reading the poetry book sent to me by Vanessa Grillone, My Pen My Voice. I’m thinking I really should re-issue my poetry book. I wrote some pretty aweosme stuff when I was young. Thanks for the book Vanessa. Everytime I travel I still can’t believe they let me use this passport photo. Red lipstick & a big bow, in my hair. Who the hell am I? haha. I’m Casie Stewart, that’s who. One of the great(est) things about flying Porter are the snacks & free drinks. They have these great sandwiches on really nice bread w/ brie and of course Steamwhistle. * tights were sent to me from SECRET. What up Beantown! Here I come. Love this massive Nella-Bella bag for travel. It fits all my gadgets & important things – two Olympus cameras, ipad, netbook, toiletries, makeup, a cardigan & all my tech accessories. Man, security had a FIELD DAY with all my gadgets (not).…

fashion: @torontobuckler – SS 2011 blog party

* boys take note

Went to a private little shindig at Bucker’s Toronto store the other day. Say hello to Buckler PR girl,  the famous April Wozny. Hot. Yeah you, boy who wears this.  Total sucker for a cardigan. Won’t even talk stance. Yes. Yes please, socks and shorts and you again, with the hoodie this time.  You look hot. This cardigan is perfect for me (to steal from future boyfriend). I have one pair of Buckler undies (man ones) and they are so comfortable. They look so hot on boys, girls you should get a pair for your man. TRUST ME. Don’t even start with that vest and wipe that look off your face please. Ladder is a good accessory. For more Buckler photos see Buckler Blog Party album on FB with models Diamien & Justin. The store is at 700 Queen Street West.  Say hi to Nikki for me when you go in.

music: first time at @TheDakotaTavern. yeah, really.

I don’t go to music stuff that much. Last night I went to the Dakota Tavern, do people call it Dakota Tav? Cause they do that down under and it seems cooler. [ Retracts hipster comment.] I love live music and crowds and spinning around on the dance floor or (even better) in the grass. I reckon I start going to more. So fun. Music was fun. Atmostphere & company funner. Sometimes I really wanna be in a band. Shiny disco balls. BE NICE OR LEAVE. Be nice, it’s so much fun. I used to live near this place on Dundas, by the 7-11. I was reminded of  The Red Wheelbarrow. so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. We had a chuckle that this kinda looks fun, not like “DYING” more like pushing. Time for a new diagram. This one is funny. I love poems. I have a passion for publishing poetry and allitertation. They were from the book of Gord. I can hear seagulls outside. Wasn’t that storm today wonderful, more than. I am trying to eat breakfast more. I hear that’s what healthy people do and I wanna be one. The colours match;  soft pink, orange, pretty. Glowing.
