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

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.

Unpacking: Patriarchy & Toxicity in ...

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.

PRABAL GURUNG - Autumn/Winter 15-16

, ,

Even though i am unable to afford anything from this collection, i must admit that i am in love with it. The Autumn/Winter 2015-2016 collection from Prabal Gurung is one of light colours and attractive symmetry. I love the designs, i love the fit... i just love the collection. The patterns just scream Autumn/Winter and the style is also fitting for that time of the year. The execution on the catwalk was wonderful and the style just makes you want to steal the clothes off the models. The mixture of a light wintry palette with warm earthy tones adds to the overall attractiveness of the collection. I must say that the designs were well done on the part of Gurung and I look forward to seeing his spring collection when it debuts. The models also wore really great shoes!! Here is a peep at the collection :)

MOSCHINO - Spring/Summer 2015

, ,

 

I've taken a liking to the unusual style of the new MOSCHINO designer, Jeremy Scott. He blends every facet of life and throws it on a piece of clothing. Whether it's your favorite fast food chain or something even more random, Jeremy has it on a model and going down the runway. Well, I've compiled for this post a few looks that caught my eye :)

This particular show was actually headlined to showcase Menswear Spring/Summer 15", however it's dotted with various pieces for women. I found that a bit unusual, but then again, everything is unusual when it comes to Mr.Jeremy Scott.

BCBG MAX AZRIA: Look Book

,

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 >>

BCBG MAX AZRIA : CATWALK

,

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 >>

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.
