I've always had a love-hate relationship with my breasts. And yes, this is a post about my boobs. . . . I was the girl who was the early bloomer: curves where they once were absent and little lumps that seemed as foreign to me as they did to all of my friends. In my 20s they filled out, reaching peak fullness when I had my little Polpettino, only to be deflated after 18 months post childbirth and post-natal weight loss. As I aged so did they--adding character lines and shape, I have still yet to get used to them. However, I've learnt to accept them. Sometimes I forget that I've agreed to accept and love them, wishing them away. Today I've remembered that they are meant to be cherished. Having sustained life, I cannot do anything else but love them for what they are: à part of me. #allnatural #aunaturale #boobs #loveyourself #loveyourbody #body #bodypositive #art #artinstallation #positivevibes #inspiration #bodyart #positive #Ethicallifestyle #mindfulness #selflove #SelfCare #motivational Art installation by Teresa Escobar

If I rush, then I’ll have to start over I’ll have to untangle and double back, and more time will have been lost. If I focus—focus on this scalp that glows golden before me, focus on the geometrical patterns I’m making out of this hair, focus on the message trapped in these patterns like parchment in a storm-tossed bottle—then maybe we’ll make it out in time. An excerpt fromTitus Kaphar and Tochi Onyebuchi short story “Seeing the Child,” a poetic rumination on Kaphar’s latest body of work, From a Tropical Space (2019–).

q u a r a n t i n e i n t h e f i e l d . . . Fieldwork at the beginning can seem a bit isolating, especially when entering a community for the first time. Often times, introspection is called into play as the self negotiates not only the Communication channels of the community, but one's own way of communicating and being as one exists in the space of the other. Reflection and Reflexivity are tools of the trade, which I find myself employing in both the little house in the Amazon and my little house here in London. #quarantine #quarantinelife #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #dress #madeinafrica #madeinmalawi #Guyana #anthropologist #anthropology #fieldwork #unitednations #climatechange #resilientcommunities #Resilience #kamarang #amazon #amazonrainforest #fashiongram #fashrev #fairtrade #fairfashion #localbusiness #smallbusiness #ootd #valentino

a l l a b o u t m e . . . I have always found it difficult to make a moment all about me. As a first born, I am naturally inclined to look after the others and keep it all together. However, this birthday was different. So, for this birthday I made it all about me, and my friends happily obliged (I think they were somewhat relieved). Showered with gifts, drinks, looks--my friends and I often share closets--gaff and love, my birthday weekend was one I will cherish. #friends #birthdaygirl #birthday #secondhandfashion #vintage #vintagefashion #vintagecoat #dress #silk #Ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #slowfashion #sharedclosets #share #outfit #outfitoftheday #ootd #ootdfashion #hairstyles #natural #naturalhair #naturalhairstyles #stylegram #style #whattowear #outfitofthenight #party #lebanese #bellydance #fashion

b a l i // j u m p s u i t . . . Last year my best good friend Emma of my fav boutique in Trinidad, @islandvintagegoods, arranged a private viewing of THE CLOTH studio and a fitting. Everything I tried had my eyes alit, bouncing from one natural texture to the next. My eyes finally fell upon their BALI JUMPSUIT, which then had to be custom made for me. Made from natural unbleached linen in the very atelier I stood, I had to have it. #madeintrinidad #trinidadandtobagofashion #TrinidadandTobago #islandlife #island #style #Ethicalfashion #madelocal #handmade #fashion #ethicalstyle #fairtradefashion #ethicalconsumer #consciousconsumer #linen #jumpsuit #naturalfabric #natural #atelier #studio #ootd #ootdfashion #outfit #outfitoftheday

i s l a n d // v i n t a g e . . . Dreams do come true, and I'm so happy to be witnessing my best good friend taking her online platform, which has seen such success in a very short space of time, to a physical space, which she is opening TODAY at Hotel Normandie in Port of Spain. With her astute and perceptive eye for style, every piece she acquires and sells is worth treasuring. If you're curious, as you should be, check out her online store @islandvintagegoods.

f l y a w a y p e t e r f l y a w a y p a u l Leaving the US is always bitter sweet. On the one hand my parents and relatives, who migrated there, are always missed, along with the few friends I manage to meet up with, but on the other hand, it is good to get back to the day - to - day of London Town. When travelling long distances, I wear my uniform: a pair of black #fairtrade #cotton trousers #madeinindia that I bought in #Charleston #SouthCarolina from my fav store @ibumovement, a jacket (sometimes #denim sometimes a suit jacket) and a #scarf/#necktie from #TrinidadandTobago's @benecaribe.

p r i c k l y // g a r d e n 🌵🌵🌵 There is something wonderful about a garden filled with cacti. Prickly and scarred, native to the seemingly desolate desert, it bears the sweetest fruit, blossoms the brightest flowers, and presents a quiet beauty that matches no other. #plant #plants #plantlife #cactus #cacti #homedecor #homeandgarden #cactusgarden #desert #travel #green #greenlife #traveller #wanderlust #spain #prose #poetry #poetrycommunity #musings #writing

h e a t w a v e . . . Spent this past weekend with one of my besties back in NYC eating, drinking and vibing to some really great 🔊🎶🎶. We decided to pack our malloit de bain and find a rooftop pool to escape the heat. I packed my @tongorostudio cover-up dress and my @monki 👙 and made my way back to NYC. Our first pool option saw an excess of pert bums exposed for the Gods, great music and yummy drinks, but a deficit of enough passes for the rooftop pool, so it was onto the next the following day, which we were fortunate enough to acquire the last two passes (or so they alleged). #Ethicalfashion #ethicalswimwear #swim #swimwear #swimsuit #fashiongram #fashion #smallbusiness #fairtrade #fairtradefashion #organiccotton #floral #dress #ootd #ootdfashion #ootdstyle #outfitoftheday #poolside #rooftop #rooftopnyc #rooftoppools #newyork #Manhattan #lowereastside #vacation #girlstrip #styleblogger #stylegram #style #beachwear
