My thoughts about the Diane set by Empreinte (75F/30F & XS)

Of all the Roman goddesses, my favorite has always been Diana. I love that she is pictured as a strong wild character and that her noticeable femininity didn’t define her whole self. (Note that it’s also Wonder Woman first name!) In French her name is Diane. So when I discovered this set in Empreinte S/S18…

Glamorous Corset Review: The Lara mesh corset 18″

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been in love with historical clothing. I mostly read children book from the 19th century and listened to historical documentaries at the radio to help me sleep at night. And although people seemed to hate the idea of a constricting garment and often picture it…

Trendlistr x Effie Butterworth : some more love for your old silk

You might have noticed that the idea of ethically-made and eco-friendly lingerie is important for me. It’s not something that is affordable to everybody but I feel like we should all do a conscient effort to think about who made our clothes and in what conditions. [The true cost documentary on Netflix is very informative].…

Savage X Fenty has launched and there’s so much to talk about!

When I heard that Rihanna was launching Savage X Fenty lingerie line, I have to say that I really had some doubts about what was going to happen. I feel like lingerie is such a specialized part of fashion and even very experienced brands sometimes fail to impress me, either by the designs or quality…

Eco-friendly lingerie made in USA: Vava lingerie Priscilla set

Spring is finally showing up in Montreal and all I can think about is holidays… I want to be outside enjoying the sun and the green grass. Unfortunately, no holidays for research students. Lol. I can still fill my house with flowers, candles and good vibrations to celebrate the end of this extra long Winter.…

Swipe to see the beautiful image that inspired thi Swipe to see the beautiful image that inspired this photo series. 🌹✨️ The first time I saw this excellent piece by @madame_dabi , I knew I wanted to create an editorial inspired by it. This is the most modest attire I could come up with... I realized the day before shooting, that being on pointe and in my birth suit would have been a bit too uncomfortable... So please have me in this very conveniently sheer pink set, with fresh rose petals as n*pple covers. 🌹✨️🥰

With love, always...

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! ✨️

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?

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. ✨️❤️
