  • We are the girl…

    We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving…We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation.…

    Idiosyncrasies…

    I love the word ‘idiosyncrasy’. I’ve been enjoying the self-expository nature of this blogging experience so why not cut another piece of myself open to show the world what a freak I am? Ha, except I don’t think I’m a freak at all. More and more, as I explore a wider range of blogs and…

  • When is a market not just a market?

    When is a market not just a market?

    I love the local creative industry. I couldn’t think of a more emphatic way to make that statement loud and clear. I am absolutely and completely impressed and enamoured by the talent we have residing here in Trinidad & Tobago. It is a discovery I made by cutting my own way through the overgrown mass…

  • What’s In My Bag?

    I’ve been wanting to do a What’s In My Bag post/video for the LONGEST while. I’ve filmed it countless times and never had the guts to post it. I mean let’s be real, it’s self-indulgent and a little pointless to most people right? But I’m obsessed with looking at other people’s What’s In My Bag videos, and…

  • Vintage Treasures

    My boyfriend’s mom has the most amazing jewellery collection. Not talking diamonds and pearls here people, mostly cosmetic jewellery but some really stunning statement pieces that probably date back to her early 20s. On the rare occasion I go to his parents’ room I’m usually standing at her dressing table, totally transfixed. One piece in…

  • Photo Diary

    Gosh it’s been a long long time… So sorry for the lapse in posts…ironically I failed to post anything at all while I’ve had all the time in the world while on vacation. It was a combination I suppose of sheer laziness, lack of an August UpMarket (due to the catastrophic flooding in the West…

  • Chip In and Chip Up!

    My first endeavour as a stylist came through the kind confidence of my friend Zindzi Morris-Alleyne (an established and amazing stylist) and Trinidad Lookbook, a local fashion publication, or should I say THE local fashion publication. I posted about Trinidad Lookbook ::before:: and since that first issue I’ve gone on to do more work with…

  • If I Knew Then What I Know Now….

    http://vimeo.com/13432412 Some useful insight from established creative professionals. A lot of it spoke directly to me as a young person aspiring to get a foot hold in the industry.

  • Fete de le Musique

    So glad I stumbled on to AGO’s blog today and got reminded that Fete de la Musique is happening tonight! I like the idea of the concerts being spread out over different venues, though naturally that means you have to pick and choose very carefully which artiste you want to see. Since I’ve been dying…
