As winter weather is upon us, and the New York air is as dry and windy as ever, my face longs for a little extra TLC. Luckily, I have a few products that are my go-tos in this situation! I’ve been experimenting with facial products, and I think I’ve finally come to the place where … More Favorite Products of Winter 16/17

(2:40 pm, November 9th 2016). As I’m walking down the streets of Manhattan contemplating what went wrong with this election, I came across a group of middle schoolers singing spice girls at the top of their lungs.

Right now as I’m writing this, at 2:22 pm between Lexington Av. and E 86th street I’m standing behind a ‘cool girl’.

After living in New York City for just three weeks (to this day), I have managed to meet the most incredibly talented people and even land myself a few tickets to New York Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2016 shows. Before fashion … More Kreyol Collection: Karabela NYFW16

I have always been in love with art. To me, art is the very breath I breathe and the sunrise that wakes me every morning. It’s not just something pretty to look at, it’s the essence of humanity. It sets us apart from all else on earth- our ability to admire and create and emulate … More Introduction Into My Thoughts on Art

Today is December 24th, and I am sitting on my floor thinking of the love of my life. Just kidding. Maybe. About two weeks ago I had the pleasure of staying with one of my best friends (Sarah Kohlbeck) in St. Paul Minnesota.
