New launch, Opinions

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…

The female gaze: Zara first luxury lingerie line launch…

A few days ago was the launch of Zara’s first line of luxury lingerie and loungewear: The female gaze. With such a name, we for sure had some expectations. Zara is a huge company worth about 18 billion dollars. It’s an impressive fashion empire created in 1974 that has been thriving in Europe for decades…

Ihuoma lingerie has launched and we’re delighted!

This year has been particularly tiring for the black community. Every day, a new murder, a new scandal. I wish this was only an American problem, but it seems that America is just louder than everyone else. We’ve cried, we’ve sworn, we’ve been grieving. The pandemic didn’t help but in the middle of all that,…

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. 🤎

Finishing this triptych with some peachy effects.. Finishing this triptych with some peachy effects... I wouldn’t disappoint the ones who voted for this shot yesterday!😂❤️
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?🌹

Throwback to shooting with @brunobalmokoun in Guad Throwback to shooting with @brunobalmokoun in Guadeloupe, summer 2019. ❤️
If you have been following me for a while, you know I often end up taking long social media breaks. It’s never easy to do because as a content creator, I rely on the platform to live. But sometimes I have to admit that I need to recharge, deal with the real world and precise my priorities. For that I do need to stay away from the constant noise of the internet. In January I found myself being very anxious about my living situation as I had no safe space to create or just be. The pandemic means that if you live somewhere unsafe/unsanitary, well you can’t escape in a library and go back at the end of the day. You just gotta stay where you at and manage. So all I could do was look for a new apartment, and deal with my anxiety. I feel that I should have been able to do more, be more. But that was it. Add to that some issues in my relationships and yeah, I felt very unstable. Whenever I find myself in this precarious situations I realize the importance of having a support system. Preferably one that is not going to leave the minute you aren’t fun anymore. I miss my family very much. But hey, the intensive search and help from the universe paid off. I moved this weekend in a place where I should be alright and for the past two days I finally got to sleep effectively. ❤️ I had forgotten what an uninterrupted night could do and how it feels to wake up being excited about the day. I am honestly grateful for all the support I got from you. I am sorry if I haven’t answered your messages or comments. I always read them and then plan to answer something interesting and somehow get stressed about it 😅 and put my phone away🤦🏽‍♀️. I really want to get better at interacting with y’all this year. I do smile a lot reading your thoughts and comments. You’re amazing and mean a lot to me. Thank you so much❤️. I hope you’ve been well and I am super excited to share my next projects with you!😊 Hope you’ll enjoy them!

I will let you know how it goes!😘

Can you believe this extra long year came to an en Can you believe this extra long year came to an end? Like is it really the last day of it? Am I the only one who thinks that 2020 actually lasted two years and now we are unknowingly starting 2022? 😂 Damn man... What a roller coaster! This year could be titled “revelation” for me. I realized so many things about life and people. Many shallow or toxic relationships ended, I started eating like an adult, I figured out what I wanted to do with my professional life (kinda), I finally was able to project myself in a relationship, I met incredible friends and deepened past healthy friendships. I also somehow ended up finding a creative team to work with, and this helped me both creatively and emotionally. Less bra reviews, more creative photography. More self expression. Last year at that very moment I was depressed at a job that drained all my positivity and creativity. I was stuck in a bad place. I lived in a place I didn’t really like, after breaking up from a long relationship and having to move out in a rush. I was a mess. This year, I quit that job, moved into a better place (although recently things became complicated and uncomfortable and I will have to move again), and started working for myself. So I am still a mess but a happy one. I guess that is all that matters.😊❤️ I hope this year brought some good into your life despite the tumultuous and heartbreaking events we faced. From my perspective if you made it until today you are a hero. 😘
Love, light and hope for next year, whether it’s 2021 or actually 2022.😂
