TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 6

Day 6...back to Brassaii for their last day of Hollywood Reporter interviews.

Saoirse Ronan from The Lovely Bones

Aussie actor Jai Courtney

Joel Edgerton wearing a peacoat in 40 degree weather because there was "loads of stuff in the pockets." That's what the publicist is there for Joel...

Dan Radcliffe was nice enough to take photos and sign autographs for fans outside the Trump Hotel

TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 5

Since Brassaii had so many celebs going through there the previous day, I went back. And not 2 minutes after I arrived, Metallica's convoy rolled up. 

Lars Ulrich from Metallica

Kirk Hammett from Metallica

NOTE: James Hetfield was also there. He offered a handshake instead of photos or autographs. Flat out said no when I asked him for a pic. What an ass!

Adrien Brody

Chris Cooper

Dermot Mulroney

TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 4

Day 4 started off with a hot tip from Twitter that the cast of Rush had just arrived at Brassaii. Since I live a 20 minute walk from there, I rushed right over!

Olivia Wilde

Chris Hemsworth

Ron Howard

 Daniel Bruhl

 Felicity Jones in town to promote The Invisible Woman

Ralph Fiennes in town to promote The Invisible Woman

TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 3

So sorry for the delay...I've been getting a steady 3 hours of sleep a night since Friday and I didn't want to cut that to 2 by posting pics. Better late than never, right?

TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 2. BRAD!

Friday of TIFF was a bit more eventful. I went to pre-parties and after-parties which is way more low key than a movie premiere.

TIFF 2013 Celeb Sightings - Day 1

TIFF 2013 began, well, slow. But, it picked up as it always does. Check out my photos below!

Bitsie Tulloch from the TV show Grimm

Blair Redford from Y & R, Passions

Dan Stevens, who played Matthew Crawley in the BBC show Downton Abbey. He was nice enough to let me take a second photo with my iPhone so that I could tweet it!

Freida Pinto

Jason Bateman from Arrested Development. He didn't want to take any photos with fans or sign autographs and rushed outside to his car, which was nowhere to be seen. He was not pleased, clearly. Ha!

Meeting Shoe God Christian Louboutin

If you know anything about me, you'll know that I have a love of (read: obsession with) shoes. See evidence below.

Shoe Racks #1, 2, & 3

Shoe Racks #4 & 5

Shoe Rack #6

So when I heard that the designer of the beautiful red-soled pieces of art was going to be making an appearance at Holt Renfrew in Toronto on June 21st, I knew I had to be there.


Monsieur Louboutin was due to sign new purchases from 4-6pm and I arrived at 2:30 just to be sure I had enough time to purchase my shoes and get in line. There were tons of people in line already and more on the shoe floor trying on shoes.


For a woman with a moderate sales exec income, I didn't think I would be able to afford a pair of these shoes until much later in life when I was closer to being a millionaire. But, since I had the chance to meet the designer himself I thought, what the hell! I gave myself a budget of $1,000 to avoid going into unnecessary debt and hoped I could still find a pair of shoes that I loved.

I decided on the Taclou pump, which came in just $13 over budget! I decided on these because they were plain black and could go with any outfit, but had an awesome spiked heel.

Michael Bublé in Toronto

I know I've been lazy and haven't done a new post since TIFF (shameful). So here is a photo of me with Canada's favourite crooner who is not the Biebs.

Michael Bublé arriving at Pearson International Airport in Toronto on Sunday to promote his new album To Be Loved.

Attention celebs: When trying to go incognito, you probably shouldn't wear a hat and sunglasses indoors. It makes you look more obvious and/or lame.
