• ‘Flims’ Fuh Days [Part 2]

    I promised a follow up on my Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival post a week or two ago and now that the festival is over I have some time to do a comprehensive review of the films I was able to see. Taboo Yardies was a film I’d marked off the first day I got the…

  • A Night at Emiliana’s

    A Night at Emiliana’s

    Emiliana Osteria Italiana must be the best kept secret in town – of the Italian variety that is. The intimate and warm Italian restaurant is tucked away on Longden Street, in close vicinity to Lapeyrouse and I don’t doubt that passers-by have often wondered what lay behind the frosted glass facade, a building so starkly…

  • 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…

    “Flims” Fuh Days [Part 1]

    It’s back! One of my favourite times of year has rolled around again and we’re smack in the middle of the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival. I’ve always loved films, foreign films in particular. It’s interesting that I feel the same way about our local film industry as I do about ‘World Cinema’ when there’s…

  • Birthday Wishlist

    Birthday Wishlist

    I’ve been told I’m tough to shop for. That could have something to do with the fact that I LOVE a lot of things, but don’t like very many. Unless you have a very keen sense of what it is I love, it’s probably tough to figure out what to get me for those prescribed…

  • 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.
