  • Some Life Lessons from Meiling @ Startup Grind TT

    Some Life Lessons from Meiling @ Startup Grind TT

    There are these truths that float around in your head…these persistent ‘codes’ that tug at your brain every time you behave in a way contrary to what your ‘truth’ perpetuates. For me…I feel a tug when I tell myself I can sleep in late the next day. I feel one when I tell myself I need…

    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…

    Mini Haul // We Dream In Colour & Sanianitos

    Moar shoppeeeeeng! Since I can remember, jewellery line We Dream In Colour has been on my radar. Trinidadian-raised designer, Jade Gedeon, does lovely, delicate jewellery. She’s sold her jewellery all over the world, including in Urban Outfitter locations. Taken from the We Dream In Colour Website: We Dream in Colour is a collection of hand…

    I was first introduced to James Hackett through my boyfriend – a fan of his artwork. So when I heard that James Hackett was entering the ‘world’ of fashion I was intrigued, to say the least. I knew him primarily as a digital artist, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I, of course,…

    Reflections on 2013 and Looking Forward to 2014

    Hey guys, Just back from NYC and trying to hammer out a Ole Years/New Years post on the blog before midnight…because my lack of posting would be twice as bad if I don’t round off the year with some notes on 2013. It was an absolutely fantastic year. Full of ups and downs, as with…

  • Haul // Total Local Saturday

    Haul // Total Local Saturday

    Well today has been super long (and it’s not even 4pm yet). Woke up at 5:30 to go get my workout in at the Arbanya Bootcamp which is run by ChauFIT in conjunction with my gym Studio W. I’m not much for dirt and grass but since I started this bootcamp – which is in…

    Treasure Hunting // New Chejo

    Well something decidedly odd happened about two months ago…I won something. Now I’ve never won anything in my life – a bold-faced lie. I actually won a yellow walkman in a Dutch auction when I was in Form 1 – so let’s make that…I’ve never won anything COOL in my life. Readers of my blog…

    The Making Of // My 1ndividual Aesthetic Sweatshirt

    It’s been a long 7 months coming but I finally got it! The 1ndividual Sweatshirt I’ve been pining after since the Style Spirit show last year. Keegan likes playing hard to get…evidently, but persistence and semi-stalking sometimes pays off, and in this case, not only did I land my beloved sweatshirt…but I got to MAKE…
