Lovehoney Cherry Blossom loungewear collection review

Part of being a content creator is knowing how to take advantage of casual situations and make the best out of them. We are experiencing a gorgeous Summer this year, so why not doing an outdoor brunch to celebrate it? Of course, I couldn’t spoil a piece of daylight and had to photograph my new…

Sofía Luzón Mageia wrap top review (Size 3)

Instagram is definitely my favorite way to discover independent designers. Maybe I said it before but, the more you know, the more you see. I discovered Sofía Luzón about two years ago. The first thing that intrigued me was the daintiness and beauty of her intricate laces. It all looked so precious to me. I…

Lounging diary : Layneau Isabella silk chemise

Layneau is one of these brands I have been admiring for years, thinking it would be incredible if I could put my hands on their treasures before turning 30. Life has its own ways to make things happen and I ended up getting a Layneau sample from one of my favorite bloggers. This sample was…

Evgenia Rebelle short gown review (Small)

Sample sales are my favorite way to shop lingerie lately. It gives you the chance to put your hands on pieces that you could never afford otherwise, and even try products that haven’t been commercialized and will never be. Evgenia is one of these independent designers that I have been admiring for years without being…

Sada By Sarah Delilah Suit review (custom-made)

Sada By Sarah is a NY lingerie brand I have discovered two years ago. The first thing that caught my attention was a video featuring sensual RnB music and a young black woman dancing to it in lingerie and ballet shoes. The video featured several black models, who actually didn’t fit the typical industry standards.…

Colieco lingerie custom Kelly bodysuit review

A few months ago, I asked you guys on Instagram if there was a brand you would like to see featured on this blog for the second part of 2019. Some of you told me about Colieco lingerie, a brand I wanted to try myself for a long time. Thanks to your responses, I was…

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!😘
