A Day at Sanchi

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.

Two Weeks in India

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?

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.

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.

Flash Back: orla kiely fall 2014

,

 

looking back at the London Fashion Week, I couldn't help but wonder how I missed the Orla Kiely Fall 2014 collection. I'm a lover of vintage clothing and the line was the embodiment of retro chic. The clothing was unique and one of a kind. I would characterize my style as a mixture of many things, but i do enjoy vintage clothing. So, throwing it back to a 90's mixed with 60's vibe, here are some shots of the collection.

A Sauvage AUTUMN/WINTER 2014-15

While reading up on the latest happenings on the British Vogue website, I came across the designs of one Adrien Sauvage. He's a British twenty-something who's work is beginning to take center stage. Designer, Photographer, and Director, this man can truly be described as a jack of all trades. Here are some samplings from his Autumn 2014/15 runway show.
