Nicole Saldaña – Patent Red leather Isabel shoes 39 IT

For the past two years, I have been on a quest to find the perfect Mary Jane shoes for everyday wear. Finding good shoes is a very difficult task if you are on a limited budget. I have been very disappointed by the quality of shoes lately. Brands I used to buy from years ago…

A genuine Christmas Editorial 2024

Happy Holidays!! My dear readers… It is with lots of love in my heart that I write to you today. This blog is 9 years old, and during the past three years, I have been rather inconsistent with it. I am not apologizing for it. I am not sure it is affecting anyone, really. I…

Jonak DELOU BABIES – Double straps and rounded toes review – size 39

Looking for ethically made, fashionable and relatively affordable shoes is a challenge. For the longest time I thought it was impossible, really. Most of the pieces tagged as ethically made looked like they were made to be living in the forest where style goes to die… (Not me acting like the fashion-police.) However, in recent…

From my wardrobe: Eliza Faulkner Sawyer top (Small)

An unintientional hiatus Sigh, it’s 2024 already. After an entire year long unintentional hiatus, I wonder if anyone is still reading lingerie reviews. It feels so strange to see everyone grow and change. It also feels good. It is safe to say, the internet has changed a lot, and we have all gotten a bit…

From my wardrobe: Full-bust friendly dresses of the week

When I started blogging, I remember looking for full-bust friendly clothing brands because I couldn’t get the fit I was looking for from regular stores.

Wishing you all a great Valentine's day weekend! 🌹✨️ I will be dancing salsa, binge watching the last season of Bridgerton and eating chocolate. 🤭 Send me the titles of your favorite, most epic romance stories, please! ✨️

- Quote from a book I am forbidden to read on my own. 

#rococo #crinoline #valentines2026
#onehundredyearsofsolitude #epicromance
For this Valentine's month, the first thing I need For this Valentine's month, the first thing I need to express gratitude for is ballet. 🩰 Starting ballet at 30 was both scary and liberating. 

Scary because I was fully aware of how judgmental this world can be, and I knew I might feel awkward being bad at something (yes, I know, ego etc...). I also didn't want to not be taken seriously by teachers because I am not going pro. If I am into something I want to learn as much as humanly possible about it. *restricted interests, hello!*

Liberating because I actually have been wanting to learn ballet since I was a teenager, and for some reason many things seemed to be getting in the way. My body type made me feel like I wouldn't fit in to be honest, and people also told me you must start no later than 6-8 years old or it is not worth a try... This is without talking about the financial aspect of it. 

I wish I never listened to my fears and theirs. Oh well... I have been loving it so much from day 1. I truly believe it's been the guardian of my sanity ever since I started, mid January 2025, and I hope it remains a part of my life forever. 🎀✨️ 

I have a long way to go, I am aware of everything that is not right with my form etc... But I also am seeing all the progress I have made in a year and all the happiness it has added to my life. So please received these very bad quality videos that look like old VHS. 😂 I still haven't figured out how to film efficiently in this dark studio. 

If you see me outside past 5pm in the winter, I am probably on my way to ballet class. Most things aren't quite worth the pain of the cold for me... 🥲
Anyway... What has been helping you stay mentally healthy in recent months/years?

My heart is full and I hope I can share a little b My heart is full and I hope I can share a little bit of joy with you this month. Though this harsh winter is committed to shattering my soul, I am also warm deep inside, full of hope and tenderness for the beauty I see around me. 
Here's the first image of a little Valentine's editorial I worked on with two of my favorite people @davinahmkz and @bisungu . 🌹✨️🎀 I am grateful for their patience and dedication to understanding my idea. And of course, they added a bit of their own magic to it. We love attention to detail over here!

Part of the process of letting go is releasing any Part of the process of letting go is releasing any thoughts of how you or your piece will be received. When making art, inspiration comes first. You come next. The audience comes last.

The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. Y The world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

The brother Karamazov is one of my all time favorite books. It is so rich and rooted in human nature. It feels contemporaneous in a surprising way. As we are witnessing the loud and terrifying collapse of this capital*st society, I invite you to look inward and find meaning in things that can't be taken away.

Fall is the season of transformation. And as the Fall is the season of transformation.

And as the days get shorter, trees change colour, and the sun seemingly turns into a light bulb rather than a heater, the urge to look inward feels more intense...

I am nesting. Projects, ideas, friendships. Love, in its many forms, needs a cozy little space for expansion. I am here for it. 

What do you plan on nurturing through the colder months of the year? What are you morphing into?

And just like that... I am 31 ✨️. Thank you so And just like that... I am 31 ✨️. Thank you so much for all the love you have showered me with for the past 3 days. I am feeling spoilt and appreciated, which is quite wonderful, in my book. I have eaten some of my favorite food, prepared by some of my favorite people, I have danced, I have laughed, and received meaningful words and presents. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday. 🥹✨️🌹
Let's make this year even better than the previous one. (And perhaps I might post more? No pressure, no promise here. 🤭)

I am so grateful. Sending you love from the bottom of my heart. ✨️❤️

Today is my last day as a 30 years old. Whew, chil Today is my last day as a 30 years old. Whew, chile... What an eventful and wonderful year! Your girl is now a ballerina, a godmother, an adult who can resist instant gratification! 😇 I am basically a real 🧚🏽‍♀️ fairy now. Ahaha! I have been very much in my own world and haven't posted much, but... Who knew 30 was actually going to be way more fun than any other age? I have felt smarter, prettier, stronger, and my capacity to love my people has only grown bigger. 🌺✨️ Cheers to tomorrow. 👸🏾🥂 And thanks for all of your kindness and the fun stories you still share with me through messages, even if I am not as active as I used to be! ✨️ Y'all are the coolest!😘
