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.
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.
Only a few short weeks ago a posted some photos from a street fashion blog title Street Geist. Now, i'm back again with the amazing fashion sightings of this amazing blogger.

This post focuses on the impeccable style of none other than Cara Delevingne, accomplished Model and Fashion Muse. Her style is on the edge and she has proven her self to be a force to reckon with in the fashion arena. From strutting down the runway in the Victoria's Secret 2013 Runway show, to being the face of Burberry, she's accomplished so much in so little time. She's now escalated to a fashion & Modeling icon.... though to me she'll never be any Kate Moss, she's got me in her corner. Her stylists do their best to make sure that she impresses us each time she steps out. Poised and Polished, here are some of my faves from her Style File.
I happened upon an amazing street style blog called StreetGeist. The outfits i saw were to die for. It made me want to live in a country where style was so diverse and everyone had varying senses of Fashion. Where i live, everyone essentially follows the same style trend as all the stores sell the exact same thing. My style is different because i've exposed myself to vintage fittings, and i've traveled quite often. Even though i'm more of a retro vintage person, i do adore fashion on a whole. So, here are my Street Style Favorites from Street Geist <3 >>>>
Well, as we all know, this week was the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (2013). Even though i don't wear lingerie of any sorts, i love looking at them and the styles modeled on that runway were definitely to die for! Here are some of my faves from the Vogue leaks >>>
