  • Thoughts // On Moving On

    I’ve decided to add a new segment to the blog. I noticed that my On 2014 post got a lot of positive feedback both on and off the blog…so I thought maybe people actually might be interested in reading a bit more about my personal perspective on certain things…like…life and such. I mean you could…

  • Pencil This In // Christmas Pop Ups

    Pencil This In // Christmas Pop Ups

    There has been NO shortage of shopping opportunities over the last month and a half. Since Bits and Pieces kicked things off in November, every time you turn, there has been a pop up sale or market. I’m not complaining, of course. Christmas markets are, for me, where all of this began. My first trip…

  • Pencil This In // Racked 2.0

    Pencil This In // Racked 2.0

    Racks on racks…on racks…of clothes. That’s the forecast for this weekend with the highly anticipated Racked 2.0 touching down this Sunday at The Verandah on Rust Street, St Clair. You know the drill (or do you? hmm) – show up early…because I can guarantee everything you love will be sold out in the blink of…

  • 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

    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…

  • Pencil This In // Pop Up Shop Times 5

    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. It’s those three little words that every woman is dying to hear – Pop Up Shop. A Pop Up of massive proportions…

  • Pencil This In // Racked TT

    Pencil This In // Racked TT

    Shoppppeeeeennnnnggggggg. Nothing makes me happier. Well that’s not true….shopping LOCAL makes me happier than plain old shopping. For whatever reason – and I’m sure I’ve expressed this before – I just don’t get shopper’s remorse when I buy local. Even if I decide I’m not in love with something after the fact, seizing the opportunity…

  • Color Revolution SXM (Part Deux)

    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…
