three days of unprovoked ‘love that’ — they patented it for a reason 😈

🤎 a thought…

Is there a world where I shop at the same store as my Grandma?

Grandma is a Yorkshire Queen who moved to the Caribbean at 23. Whenever she’d visit us, without fail, she would take us to her heaven - Marks and Spencer, to do a sweep for her and Grandad’s adventures.

Cue becoming a teenager, stood nervously in the changing rooms waiting for my first bra fitting and in walk two rosey women. That day they taught me a lesson that stayed with me for life — the everyday and unseen, builds confidence, so let it be beautiful, let it be powerful and let it be romantic, because you deserve that confidence just for you.

Womanhood brought a love for art and then - ‘style’. The more I evolved, the more I wanted to explore the chic and eccentric style I’d seen in the people who made me and I found myself in the same aisles Grandma had once taken me to… but this time they were for me.

Timeless. There for all my eras. Slay.
Love that.

no one changed me like you did, Asia 🥹
I can’t believe we get to do it all again 💐

I’ll be supporting on their Asia tour this year — some things new, but the same us somehow finding each other again. mad to think about.

I have a few questions…

📍 which city will I see you in?
💕 if we’ve met before — remind me where. I want to remember ☁️
🪩 which song should I bring back for you?

respectfully, on what planet had I never been 🥵

wearing my fierce queen for this Vincy girls first carnival cos life is faaaaab

poetry in process ✏️💄

is there a world where you return to the same cities, the same faces — but as someone slightly rearranged? a new bloom, new songs, new poems, a new chapter unfolding with my best friends.
i’ll be supporting on their world tour this year. coming back to the thing i love most, and getting to share it with you, feels quietly full circle and almost too beautiful to be true.
see you out there 🤍
