My first detailed post from my trip to India is reserved for my favourite outing… a visit to Sanchi, a World Heritage Site. The only other Heritage sites I had been to are ones in London and our very own Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua.
Bhopal is a beautiful city with amazing scenery and is said to be one of India’s greenest cities. Bhopal is also home to 10 lakes and is aptly tagged as “The City of Lakes”. In this post, I’ll recap with words and images my picture perfect day trip to Bhopal’s Upper Lake.
Back in 2022, I secured an amazing Scholarship opportunity from the Indian Government to spend two weeks in the country learning about Women Empowerment, Policy and Vocational Training. I had the most amazing time and met amazing women who I still keep in touch with to this day. This post is an introduction, obviously, but over a series of post I will be unpacking how I spent my life changing two weeks in India
How Long Has It Been? Too Long! The last time I published anything on this blog was three years ago and in that time so much about me has changed. I feel as though I’ve let this Cotton Tree grow unwatered. I suppose I should take this as an opportunity to reacquaint myself with this space and reintroduce myself. It truly has been awhile.
A lot of toxic behaviours in relationships are deeply rooted in patriarchal thinking. The sense of entitlement men develop in these relationships as well as the desire to take more than necessary from men acting on the “instinct” to provide. Patriarchy has tipped the advantaged far into the male corner certainly but women also use the patriarchy and have developed “trash” tendencies because of it. Men and women are both toxic and “trash” and this has led to a very unhealthy relationship dynamic.
This really cool Japanese Magazine Niko and... has this cool feature called 30 Days Coordinate. Every day of the month they post outfit inspiration for that day, to help you get dressed. It's been happening for quite a while and i really like the outfit selection. The styles are so simple yet fashionable that you just can't help but tuning in daily to see what they'll think of next. I'm not even going to type much, i'll just post a flurry of photos embodying February in outfits.
Loud, vibrant patterns seem to be a staple in the A/Au campaigns and the Autumn/Winter collection is by no means an exception. Asiyami Gold, one of my favorite lifestyle bloggers and instagrammers, is also the designer of her own line A/Au (periodic symbol for gold, isn't she smart :) ) Her collection is stylish, tasteful and unique. She incorporates an array of earthy visuals in her campaigns as well as African prints that bring out the wild side of any fashion forward woman. Her mixture of loud prints and neutral tones also serve as eye catchers for her clothing. I really adore this collection and as a result decided to share it on my blog. So, Here you go ...

So, the previous post featured the BCBG MAX AZRIA catwalk images. This post features the Pre-Catwalk images.... i know my order is messed up and i should have posted this one first... However I found the pre-show images afterwards so it's not really my fault. Anyway, when I told you that i was in love with the brand, i meant it. These fashions are so beautiful, and i'm too poor to afford them :). So, take a look at the pre-catwalk photos and leave a comment telling me what you think >>
Just the other day my friends and I started playing this fashion game called Covet Fashion (it's available in the Appstore and Google Play). The fashions available in that game are so bomb and I love them. One of the brands I came across was BCBG MAX AZRIA and so I did a little research. I found one of their runway shows, fell more in love, and decided that you needed to know about them too :) so here we go >>
I was stalking the Vogue website and found some awesome catwalk fashions from House Of Holland. They will be premiered at the New York Fashion Week and i love them. They have a preppy edge while still managing to be fashion forward. Take a look!
