Winter Sun: Five Days in Spain

It’s December 2024, and London is cold, muggy, and dark. School has called it quits for Christmas break, and you’re feeling the impact of Vitamin D deficiency. What’s the best cure? Winter Sun, and instead of breaking the bank to fly home, I decided to take a trip to Barcelona!

Study Break: Three Days in Budapest

It’s November 2024, and LSE has given me a week off school to ‘Read’. What do I decide to do? Pack a backpack and book a cheap round-trip ticket to a European country. I board a flight to Hungary and try to pack the world of sightseeing into 72 hours with 4 of my friends. We packed a million things into three days, and this is my attempt to pack those three days into one post and share it with you all almost a year later.

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.

The City of Lakes

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.

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

Big Chop

, ,

Well, It's obvious that i'm weeks late with this post.... but ... i finally big chopped! I did it on Sunday May 4th at approx 10 something in the morning with blue handled tailor scissors. I had a whole lot of hair under there. I really love my TWA which as i have noted before is one big puff of 4C hair. For some reason, people seem to hate 4c hair, but i actually like it and my hair is pretty darn soft. Shrinkage plagues my daily life but it's for the best. I do a lot of flat twists and have come across some pretty great products namely As I am coconut co-wash and Hawaiian Silky. Those are my favorites along with Indian Hemp a grease i use on my scalp. I love my new hair and my new look :) and i hope you like it too. I'm gonna have fun on this journey and i hope i attain the happy healthy hair i want.

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.

That Fai Daij

This Australian resident has style to boot! Her clothing is impeccable and her style is nothing short of flawless. As usual, i like to post some of my favorite outfits from the various fashion blogs that i stalk. Her blog also features a lot of unique shoes and helpful style tips. Anyway.. here are some of her outfits:

 

Fai's stlye incorporates alot of prints and bright colours that work very well together. She's my style guru and i enjoy her outfit posts. I hope to one day post OOTD's as frequently as she does since mine are few and far between :)
