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…

Pencil This In // Pop Up Shop Times 5
Looks like I really will be living on ramen noodles for the remainder of July. Good thing I love ramen *smirk* Right after Racked TT we have another shopping extravaganza to look forward to.

Pencil This In // Racked TT
Shoppppeeeeennnnnggggggg. Nothing makes me happier. Well that’s not true….shopping LOCAL makes me happier than plain old shopping.

Color Revolution SXM (Part Deux)
Oh yes….white sand between my toes, a comfy lounge upon which to rest my tush, a dedicated bar service and some mini tiki torches lapping playfully at the hem of my Christian Boucaud convertible dress (Oh hell no fire! Not you and me today). Contrary to what you may be thinking at this point…no…I wasn’t…

So what exactly do you do when your editor calls you and asks you if you can go to St. Maarten to cover one of the most talked about fashion events for the year? There is no choice. You say yes. You plug in for a vacation day, make sure your passport has some months left,…

Out & About // Sunday Rush
Well after the super awesome day that was Saturday, I entered into Sunday (I’ve time traveled a bit…so this refers to April 13th by the way) with some trepidation. I had around 6 articles to write and was done with all of 2, so naturally staying in bed all day with my computer on my…

Out & About // Oh What a Saturday!
Last weekend was murder. I don’t know why but it was THAT much harder to get out of bed to do anything at all, and yet, it was probably one of the busiest weekends I’ve had in a while. Because…life. I kicked Saturday off with a trip to Vanity Fair with my co-workers Alina and…

Metro Magazine // Marlon James Brings His Creativity to T&T
Some of you may or may not know that I write for Metro Magazine (distributed every Friday in the Guardian). I’ve long meant to syndicate my Metro content to this blog, since I usually cover a lot of local fashion, food and lifestyle stories for the Metro as well. I’m finally starting to do so…
