10 Reasons you need a #ttfashioncation in your life this Christmas!

Oh Christmas that time of the year when the air is a bit cold as Jack Frost’s is hunting down our far away Winter neighbours. In Trinidad,while we may be lucky to have our bake and shark at Maracas and eat it too this season is just as tumultuous! A Trini Christmas experience has similar gaiety and angst as we frolic around the house cleaning, decorating, cooking and the fashionistas begin stalking the shops to discover great finds to give the gift of fashion to someone or themselves!!!!!!! Does this sound familiar? You better get the girlfriends together and read this!

10 Reasons you need to pack up and get here on the next flight asap!

Of course every destination has a story to tell and so does Trinidad. Pick up a copy of A Spirited Butterfly by Rosemary Stone and get comfy with your beach chair while you tan, lounge and learn all about the struggles, success stories and strife of a nation that aspires to be the premier fashion destination in the Caribbean.
