Agent Provocateur “All Hours” diffusion range is there and I am confused…

Agent Provocateur has been an iconic brand in the collective imagination for more than 20 years now. I love that we have the same birth year. Known for being truly creative, borderline subversive, feminist. Well, actually, for the past years, it’s been harder and harder to see their feminist spirit, and their campaigns have been…

Thoughtful Valentine’s day ideas

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I am not a Valentine’s day person. Not that I don’t like receiving gifts from my partner, I do really like gifts, even if it’s just an unexpected half a dozen of macarons and a cute handwritten note. I am a gift kind of person. However, Valentine’s day…

7 Luxury full-bust brands that make me feel good about my G cup

Growing up, I was really obsessed with girly yet simple looking lingerie. I wanted to wear these grey cotton bras, like every other 13years old. I wanted the soft comfy bralettes with comic book characters prints and the plain padded bras. As weird as it sounds now, I wanted all of that. I wanted to…

The tragedy of vanity sizing in lingerie : facts and consequences

What is Vanity Sizing? Commonly, Vanity sizing describes how over the years the fashion industry has made changes to size tags in order to flatter customers’ egos and make them more comfortable shopping. For example, what was labeled a size 6 or 8 thirty years ago might now be a size 4. The human population…

What if your partner isn’t into lingerie ? A lingerie blogger perspective

Cosy lingerie and loungewear for this winter season

I am experiencing an agreeable winter this year, in Montreal. In all honesty, I might be biased because it is also the first winter that we have to stay home most of the time. It might be just as cold as any other year but at least I don’t have to be outside most days.…

Avocouture Queen Misia review (60H & XS)

If I am being honest with you, in 2020, I wasn’t really into bra reviews. That is not what I wanted to do. I wanted to illustrate the world in my head through fashion editorials and explore new expression media. That was where my head was at. And it probably showed. I have been less…

Holidays 2020 lingerie editorial : in the midst of the storm, we grew.

You know, as 2020 is ending, it’s becoming harder and harder for me to be on the internet. It is an echo chamber for literally everything. As a content creator, I found myself to be quite sick of seeing the same negative information repeated by everyone in many different ways this year. The internet feeds…

Hello beautiful people! It’s already Friday!😊 Hello beautiful people! It’s already Friday!😊☀️Here is the last photo of my triptych! I love all the expressions we can capture through pictures. I think it’s interesting how they can show different parts of us. I am not an actress but I think I would have a lot of fun learning that art. I am often so impressed by the multitude of personalities actors can play. I guess models play a bit too. Sometimes we look soft, sometimes strong, or mean. I think I look a little mean in this photo.😂 I swear I am not like that in real life.

A little bit of goofiness this morning... 😂The A little bit of goofiness this morning... 😂The context is basically @yoonanelka kindly mocking me for being so visibly in love and me doing awkward posing as a result. How fitted...😂 3 things that make me smile these days are cats of the internet, potential clients that don’t try to undervalue my work and seeing my family and friends evolving and loving themselves. 🥰❤️ What makes you smile these days?

Is it me or this week lasted 2 days? 😅 Why are Is it me or this week lasted 2 days? 😅 Why are things moving so fast? 
Honestly, I am loving February very much this year. I see you guys being positive and loving yourself. I see progress. [ side note : doesn’t Agent Provocateur new launch seem like a brand cautionary tale?] . I had a wonderful conversation this morning with industry specialists and it gave me inspirations and ideas. I am so excited for this year. I know everyone says it’s 2020 twin sister but I am sure it’s not. Keep your energy high my loves. Do the things you want to do. Do them now. ❤️

Happy Monday!✨ I hope you all had a beautiful we Happy Monday!✨ I hope you all had a beautiful weekend!😘 Here’s the last picture of this triptych, one that I love very much. It’s dipped into vulnerability. Yesterday I had the occasion to listen to one of my friends talk about self-love. One thing she said that particularly resonated with me was that, often, we think self love is embracing our amazing positive attributes. To finally recognize our greatness and the good we provide to the world. But we rarely talk about the darker side of self love. Self love is also keeping the same loving energy towards oneself when we are faced with our dark sides, our “weaknesses”. Still loving ourself even at our worst. While it makes sense to set boundaries, I think it’s important to keep this affection for ourselves so it can give us the strength to act in a way we would be proud of. 🤎 You know, it’s like when your mum is still proud of you after you have lost your job, or had a bad grade. You are not your failures, but it’s good to acknowledge every part of yourself. ✨

Happy Valentine’s Day loves!🥰🌹 I appreciat Happy Valentine’s Day loves!🥰🌹 I appreciate the lovely energy that has been on social media this week. It seems that this year Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to add happiness and joy into our lives, in our own personal way. (This pandemic really made the little things count...) While I can’t see you all in real life, I hope you have a wonderful day, and that whatever troubles you may have feels lighter today. Sending you lots of love, and covid-free virtual hugs!😘❤️✨

Whether you are single or in a relationship I hope you are treating yourself nicely today!😘
I partnered with @christiankondo1 and @yoonanelka to create this photo series and I love how it turned out. 
While it’s Valentine’s Day month, it’s also Black history month and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get some more black love representation out there. 🤎✨ You know as a Caribbean, I grew up in a very matriarchal environment. Let’s say, men weren’t around that much and except from US TV shows I occasionally watched, I had little to no representation of a happy black couple. I didn’t feel awkward about it for a long time because most of my friends were in the same situation. We just had badass mums that did it all, often neglecting their womanhood to be everything to their children. But as I am getting older, and with all the gratitude I have for my mum, I also know I do not want that for myself. I am a woman. I do not have children but if I was to have some, I hope they are raised thinking that love and respect between two romantic partners is an actual thing. I hope they know that men can do hair too. That they can hug. That they can be present and thoughtful. That I do not have to be their entire world because the world is so vast and full of opportunities. I hope they feel loved and secure within a balanced community. While it was somehow empowering growing up surrounded essentially by women, I am aware now that it influenced the way I navigate the world in positive and negative ways. Now I am just working on the future. I am confident we all can do better. Love better. Be better. 🤎

What are your plans for the weekend? I have lots of work to finish but I am also thinking about long baths, candles and a good novel! I haven’t read one in a looong time! Please give me suggestions of novels that won’t break my heart and that I won’t be able to put down until the last page! 🥰

This photo is very “me”. My introvert self beh This photo is very “me”. My introvert self behind the lingerie and some gorgeous tropical plants. All that’s missing is cake. This week I am feeling very good about being alone in my own space. Yesterday, I ordered a great lemon meringue pie 🍋 all for myself 😂, took a long shower, cleaned my apartment and wrote about my feelings. Trying to find inspiration for content. It wasn’t the productive day I wanted when I woke up in the morning but it was a good day. I felt that I did something for myself. I didn’t blame myself and I slept early when my body told me it was tired instead of staying up late (being unproductive) as a punishment for not managing to create enough during the day. Today is another day and I will do better. ❤️
What did you do for *yourself* lately? How did you make yourself feel good or better? 😊

We are starting the day with self love and appreci We are starting the day with self love and appreciation! ❤️ Wearing this wonderful teddy by @sadabysarah . Recently I had a discussion with my partner about the fact that I don’t always have the most positive internal dialogue. In simple words, I tend to depreciate myself. I don’t even realize it. I truly thought I was passed that after years of blogging and modelling. But it is the small things. Saying “I am not curvy enough” “my skin looks bad today”, "I am poor ”, “ I am a bit dumb” or things like that seems like nothing but go a long way into your (my) subconscious. Truly the worst part is that it’s pretty irrational and based on ridiculous expectations of the body and mind. I would never want to say those things in front of someone who I believe struggles more than me. Yet, in the safety of my mind, I do criticize myself in a way I would never criticize others. I guess whether I want it or not it’s a bit hypocritical. I could go deep into it but that’s not the right place to do so. I decided that it was time to focus on what will help me grow. So this Valentine’s Day season is about feeling connected to myself, being acceptant of what makes me who I am and making peace with my traumas so I can become the person I need to be, and essentially my best friend. Are you your own best friend?🌹
