    #RepYourHoodie

    A quick word to say I love you guys. Aaaaaaand, my girl Mel over at Trinidad Lookbook is hosting a pretty sweet #RepYoHoodie crowd funded custom apparel campaign over on Teespring.com. Basically….show your hood some love with a comfy hoodie that let’s everybody know where your roots are buried. Mine? Deep in the earth of Arima forever.…

    Out & About // Cafe Mariposa

    Payol runs through my blood so I was more than excited to see Cafe Mariposa, a restaurant in the Lopinot Valley featured on this year’s TT Restaurant Week schedule. Like many kids, I spent a lot of time in Lopinot during my childhood. I have very distinct memories of eating multi-coloured cheese paste sandwiches and catching…

  • Port of Spain Style by Maya Cozier

    A while back I was asked, rather spontaneously, to be interviewed for a short film that Maya Cozier was shooting during her summer break from school. Of course I obliged, and yesterday, Maya posted the finished product for all to see. Kudos to Maya for great production quality, fab story-telling and a cast of super…

  • Treasure Hunting // The Shop

    Treasure Hunting // The Shop

    Simply but aptly named, The Shop occupies two units at The Normandie Hotel’s quaint Market Place, which already houses gems such as the Paper Based Bookshop and Gillian Bishop’s fine jewellery store. Conceptualised as a space for local small businesses, artists, designers, and pretty much anyone with a creative passion to be able to showcase…

    Introducing // The Decorative Pillow Collection by Toni Crockett Design

    I don’t think there’s a single woman in the world who wouldn’t want her home to be as fabulously outfitted as she is. We’re blessed in Trinidad to have a wealth of interior décor stores and interior designers to bring our homes up to the standard we hold for our own personal style. One such…

    Beauty Bomb // L’Oreal-a-palooza

    I’ve said it before somewhere that I never get too adventurous with my makeup. I think if I had to describe my ‘look’ it would be ‘minimalist’. I couldn’t live without moisturiser, a decent BB cream and the blackest eyeliner and mascara combo I can manage. L’Oreal Trinidad & Tobago was kind enough to give…

  • Ceola does Colombiamoda // Day 2

    Ceola does Colombiamoda // Day 2

    My Day 2 and Colombiamoda’s official Day 1, Tuesday was a very long but very exciting experience. It’s not every day you get to see how a world class fashion show and convention is orchestrated and executed. Not to say I took a glimpse backstage or anything, but the entire operation from the point of…

    Ceola does Colombiamoda // Day 1

    Ok so some of you may have figured out by now that I am in the land that gave us Shakira, Gabriel García Márquez and James Rodriguez (no ladies…I am yet to see him or any of his doppelgängers). To be more specific, I’m in Medellín, the former stomping grounds of one Pablo Escobar, and…

Of course I’ll eat…but my diet gonna have to be SUPER strict cause these costumes are skimp-ay. I mean…what’s the next level up from a…

    Beauty Bomb // Batiste Dry Shampoo

    Pretty sure it’s no secret to anyone that I’m ridiculously low maintenance when it comes to my hair. I mean I do my duty and wash it twice a week, but I take no pleasure in the preening and styling that many girls do. I guess I have neither the patience nor the hand-eye coordination to…
