#INTERNLIFE | Nicki Minaj Thinks "Anaconda" Got Snubbed By VMAs

So you've probably heard about this whole Nicki Minaj/Taylor Swift Twitter "feud" that went on this week, which was definitely an interesting thing to find on my newsfeed.

For Refinery29, I wrote about the tweets that started it all...

If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well. 😊😊😊

FASHION | Keds 'Ladies First' Campaign Starring Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift sure has been killin' it these days. From her insanely good-looking girl squad to her (almost) equally good-looking bf Calvin Harris, I mean, what more can she get her hands on?

Well, add another awesome campaign to her list. She's headlining the Keds global rebrand and featured in the fall 2015 ads and it's kind of a big deal. "Ladies first since 1916" is the tagline and it's pretty rad.

Take a look:

MY LIFE | 22

A week ago, I turned the big 22.

This was on repeat, obviously:

TIFF 2013 | Top Style Picks

With Toronto buzzing with TIFF excitement, it's hard not to get wrapped up in star-spotting. I've definitely been there and have had my share of red carpet waiting (check out my posts from last year's premieres of Spring Breakers, Imogene, On The Road, and more) so this year I decided to stand back and not get too involved in all the craziness. Instead, I followed the chaos via social media and just wanted to share some of my fave red carpet looks:

There were TONS of other celebs in town, but these were just a few that stood out for me. 

The festival runs until Sunday, September 15th - how's your TIFF experience so far?
Let me know which celebs you've spotted & who rocked the best red carpet outfits in the comments below :)

MY PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS EXPERIENCE

The day I'd been waiting for had arrived at last: January 9th, The People's Choice Awards.

We had to be at the theatre at 10:30am to check-in and take part in the full run through rehearsal of the show so we got up early and got all ready for the big event.

This is us in our hotel room, super excited and ready to go:

We were really quite sad that we weren't allowed to bring any cameras, phones, etc so we wouldn't be able to capture the memories, but thanks to the wonderful people of Gotham Casting, one of the organizers passed around her own camera for us all to use. I was so excited. Hooray for photos!

With our new friend Matt

She even let us use a flipcam...so here is our vlog during lunchtime after the rehearsal, waiting for the actual show to begin:

And when it came to the actual show...wow what a crazy experience. Brittney and I had awesome seats, so we were able to high-five and cheer on the award winners and presenters as they went on and off stage. My left hand had the lovely pleasure of interacting with Ellen DeGeneres, Taylor Swift, Ian Somerhalder, Josh Hutcherson, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston...and the list goes on. And it's not every day when you get to see Heidi Klum race a monkey on segways...Let's just say it was definitely a night to remember. 

We were so pumped when we got back to the hotel that we even made another vlog...enjoy haha

And here is some of the confetti straight from the Nokia Theatre - a remnant of my amazing People's Choice Awards experience:

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed taking a glimpse into my trip to LA and being a part of the PCAs!
