My Favorite Gifts This Year: Giving with Intention and Living with Purpose – Fashion Blog SXM

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


The holidays are here, and as I reflect on the season of giving, I’m reminded of the power of intentionality. This year, my focus is on gifts that hold meaning—ones that inspire joy, celebrate connections, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s the elegance of a timeless piece of jewelry or the experience of self-care and family togetherness, I’m choosing to give gifts that align with my values. Let me share some of my favorites this year and inspire you to give with intention too!

Panache St. Maarten is at the top of my list when finding that perfect gift. This boutique is home to exclusive brands like Qudo, Coeur de Lion, and Sif Jacobs, offering jewelry that speaks volumes. Panache’s collection is perfect for celebrating the women in your life, whether it’s a sparkling bracelet, a bold statement necklace, or an elegant pair of earrings. And if you’re unsure what to pick, you can book a styling session to make the experience even more personalized. Better yet, consider gifting a Styling Gift Card, allowing your loved ones to choose something that resonates with their style.

Another gift idea close to my heart is the gift of self-care. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget to prioritize ourselves. This year, I’m gifting spa days, travel vouchers, and even solo getaways to those I love (and maybe to myself, too!). These moments of peace and rejuvenation are invaluable—they remind us to pause, reflect, and recharge. Whether it’s a massage, a weekend retreat, or an afternoon of pampering, self-care is a gift that keeps on giving.

Of course, the holidays are about more than just material gifts—they’re about creating quality time with family. This year, I’m planning to gift experiences that bring us together, from cooking classes to family outings. These shared moments foster deeper connections and leave a lasting impact, reminding us why we cherish each other so much. Consider gifting something that facilitates these experiences, like tickets to an event or even a beautifully curated dinner at home.

As I plan my gifts this season, I’ve also realized the importance of timeless pieces—items that will be cherished for years to come. A piece from Panache’s collection fits perfectly here. With its attention to detail, craftsmanship, and exclusivity, it’s more than just jewelry; it’s a memory, a celebration, a story. Don’t miss the chance to shop for these meaningful gifts and make someone’s holiday truly magical.

To inspire intentional giving, Kerai Kreative Style is here to help you celebrate purpose and thoughtfulness. Visit our website to explore how we can help make your holiday gift special. Whether it’s a styling session, a Styling Gift Card, or a timeless piece from Panache, we’re ready to bring your vision to life.

This year, let’s make our gifts count. Let’s give with meaning, choose with care, and live with purpose. Let’s create joy, inspire gratitude, and share experiences that matter. Because at the end of the day, the best gifts aren’t just things—they’re the love, thought, and intention behind them. Start your journey to intentional giving today by visiting Panache St. Maarten or booking a session with Kerai Kreative Style.
Let’s make this season unforgettable

Embracing Mocha Mouse: The Plus-Size Guide to Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025

Every year, we look forward to Pantone unveiling their Color of the Year, and for 2025, they’ve given us a timeless, versatile beauty: Mocha Mousse. A warm and inviting shade with hints of neutral brown and gray undertones, this color exudes sophistication, calm, and subtle strength. For plus-size fashionistas, this color speaks volumes, offering endless styling opportunities while staying grounded in comfort and elegance. Let’s dive into the magic of Mocha Mousse and discover how it can become your ultimate go-to hue this year.

Mocha & oversize…the trends of 2025. Do not feel intimidated by any of them, plus size women can also dress in oversize. In this look, we belted so that we could define and enhance our waistline. It also helps that this is a PLUS size belt and, therefore, it will hug your curves completely differently! (Dress available at T’s Closet) 

What Does Mocha Mousse Represent?

Mocha Mousse is more than just a shade—it’s a mood. It embodies connection, warmth, and balance, making it the perfect color for 2025 as we continue to seek calm and authenticity in an ever-changing world. For the plus-size community, this shade holds a special resonance: it’s universally flattering, understated yet powerful, and versatile enough to suit every occasion. Mocha Mouse invites you to
embrace your curves and express your style with quiet confidence.

Styling Mocha Mousse: Chic and Casual

For everyday looks, Mocha Mousse works beautifully in soft, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or jersey. Pair a relaxed Mocha Mousse blouse with classic high-waisted jeans or tailored trousers for an effortless yet polished vibe. Add some contrast with a pop of color—think mustard-yellow accessories or teal sneakers to create depth. For those who love layering, a cozy oversized cardigan in Mocha Mousse paired with leggings and ankle boots is perfect for running errands or lounging in style.

The Pantone color: Let’s take a look, up close & personal. 

Elevating Mocha Mousse for Special Occasions

Mocha Mousse shines just as brightly in formal wear, making it an excellent choice for weddings, galas, or evening events. A plus-size A-line dress in this shade with subtle metallic detailing will make you feel like a goddess. Pair it with gold or rose gold jewelry to highlight the warmth of the tone. For a bold statement, opt for monochromatic styling by layering textures—think a satin Mocha Mousse maxi dress with a faux-fur shawl or a structured blazer for added drama.

Accessorizing with Mocha Mousse

If you’re not ready to dive headfirst into wearing Mocha Mousse, start with accessories. A leather crossbody bag or a pair of pointed-toe flats in this shade will seamlessly blend into your wardrobe. Wide belts in Mocha Mousse can cinch your favorite dresses or jumpsuits, highlighting your curves in all the right ways. Scarves, hats, and even nail polish in this tone can subtly tie your look together, giving you a
cohesive and trendy vibe.

Explore and experiment with the various shades of Mocha, and give it your interpretation and flare, this way, you will never feel as if it is being forced! (belts available at T’s Closet) 

Make Mocha Mousse Your Favorite Color Yet

Mocha Mousse is more than a trend; it’s a color that invites us to embrace our individuality and celebrate our natural beauty. For plus-size individuals, it offers a world of styling possibilities that are as comfortable as they are chic. Whether you’re dressing for a casual day out or an elegant evening affair,

Mocha Mousse serves as a reminder that style knows no size constraints. Therefore, don’t hesitate to explore this adaptable hue—embrace it, play with it, and allow it to become a key part of your 2025 wardrobe. Here’s to a year of honoring curves and hues that uplift us to feel our very best!
As usual, we are grateful for partners like T’s Closet https://www.facebook.com/TsClosetSXM

Happy Holidays – See you in the New Year!

by Lina Clémence June 2, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


I can’t believe how quickly Christmas Eve has come round this year, it has been a total whirlwind and so busy and exciting.

I wanted to take a moment to say a big thank you to all of you who, read, comment and interact with this blog, it has been an incredible year and I am so grateful to be able to share all of it with you. 

I am signing off until January, when I will be back with plenty of suggestions to make the toughest month of the year that bit more bearable.
I had to do a little shot of the Elf, who apparently loves natural beauty too (he clearly stole my Weleda Skinfood!). We have a better behaved Elf than Poundland who clearly have their minds in the gutter 😉  
See you on the other side!

7 Lessons Learnt from my 7 Year Loc Journey

by Lina Clémence June 1, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


1.4K

Hi everyone, my name is Char, founder of Locs Life! I started Locs Life over 7 years ago, and have had my locs for about just as long. Over that time, I have learned a lot about having locs. Below are some things I have learned along my locs journey. 

Lessons Learnt from my 7 Year Loc Journey

1. Weakness Can Be Strengths

When I was a loose natural, I struggled so much with knots.

My hair loves to form single strand knots and fold on itself. That made it difficult to retain length and made styling very much not fun.

This attribute, however, lent super well to starting locs.

My locs formed quickly and retwisting has never been a problem. This thing that had been a source of frustration for many years turned into a strength for locs. It has been ironic in the best way possible. 

2. Listen to Your Hair

Over the years, I have learned to listen to what my hair and scalp are telling me.

In the beginning of my journey, I was using a popular shampoo that I liked as a loose natural, and that I had heard worked for many people that were locd as well.

However, my locs felt a bit sticky after using it.

I decided to switch shampoos until I found something that worked for me. Similarly, I learned applying oils directly to my scalp does not work for me. It just made my scalp itchy until wash day!

I decided to listen to my scalp, and pull back on the products I used. Now my scalp feels healthier than ever.

3. Nothing is Perfect

We all know nothing or no one is perfect, but it can be difficult actually accepting it. Especially when it comes to ourselves.

I remember when I first started my locs journey, I did it with two strand twists, and not all the parts were even. Because of that, I redid multiple sections of my locs to the point where I basically restarted my locs journey. However, they still weren’t done in a perfectly neat grid pattern all throughout my head.

I agonized for months on whether I should just completely restart my locs journey to straighten out my loc parts. I started to think, “well what if I want to do a certain hairstyle and my loc parts are uneven!”

However, I realized two things: 1. I hardly do any of those styles anyway, and 2. Even if I do, I don’t need perfect loc parts for me to be happy with the style.

With that out the way, I started to become more and more comfortable with my locs. 

4. Your Locs Journey is Yours Alone

Similarly, before I started my locs journey, I looked at a lot of loc growth journeys to try and get an idea of when my hair would get to my “ideal length.”

Spoiler alert, my locs did not grow as fast as I wanted them to.

In fact, my locs even went through a period where I was losing length! While there is nothing wrong with looking to the future, you set yourself up for disappointment if you peg yourself too rigidly to any timeline or ideal.

It has been really important for me to recognize that even though I like having a goal, I still need to remember that things don’t always go according to plan – and that’s okay. 

5. Your Locs Are a Reflection of Your Strength

This may seem intense or dramatic, but bear with me.

I truly believe your locs are a reflection of yourself. Specifically, I believe that this includes strength and resilience for everyone that chose to start locs.

There are a lot of preconceived notions of loc wearers in the US.

Even if your friends and family are okay with you having locs, there are many documented cases of employers being overtly discriminatory.

Despite that, many of us continue to have locs. I know for myself I was wary of negative impacts at work. Not everyone in my life was supportive of my locs journey in the beginning, but at the end of the day I was doing it for myself, and not anyone else. 

6. Your Locs Should Fit Your Lifestyle

One thing I didn’t necessarily plan for, but worked out in my journey was having my locs match my lifestyle.

I do not like spending too much time on my locs and I do not like spending time at the hair salon. It works for many people, but I knew it wouldn’t for me.

Thus, I knew I would handle the retwisting myself.

Moreover, the size of my locs are on the smaller side, but not too small. I am glad that I went with the size I did, because I know I personally could not handle the upkeep of sisterlocks or microlocs. While beautiful, there is a whole other level of time and dedication that must be spent to care for extra small locs. 

7. Everything Changes

Probably the most important lesson I have learned having locs is that nothing is constant!

I have had favorite products discontinued, had locs thin, and I have had to just adjust to having longer locs in general. This has meant some setbacks, as well as a lot of research and learning. However, it truly has been a journey that I would not change.

I am looking forward to seeing what is next in my Locs Life hair journey!

Fall Skincare Routine to Help You GLOW Right Into the New Year — Face Flawless Skin- Skincare Advice for Women of Color

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025
written by Lina Clémence



Skin Hydro is packed full of vitamins, minerals, and contains organic Irish moss extract, hyaluronic acid, and sea marine botanicals. Not only do I use it to soothe and hydrate my skin after cleansing, but I also do a spritz before and after my makeup application.  (Use code FACEFLAWLESSSKIN to get free shipping on your order.)

Serums are the heavy hitters in my skincare routine, and fall is the perfect time to add those actives. This means I have one active serum for the day, usually Vitamin C, and one for the night, retinol. So, when winter hits and I have to switch to nourishing hydration and protection over everything, I’m heading in with skin that’s probably looking the best it’s looked all year. If you are fighting wrinkles, age spots, dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles, sallowness, or any other skin issue, find a serum that addresses that issue and build your routine around it. Here are some options to consider.

Bourbon, Brunch & Big Plans: Ringing in the New Year at Le Méridien Washington, D.C., The Madison!

by Lina Clémence May 31, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Ever feel like you need a break from your day-to-day routine but don’t want the stress (or expense) of a full-blown vacation? That’s where a staycation comes in. In this mini-review, I’ll spill the details on my laid-back getaway at Le Méridien DC—covering everything from cozy rooms and great cocktails to nearby attractions like Balian Springs. Think easy, local adventure without a big travel budget or lost baggage drama. Perfect for recharging and feeling like you’ve actually been on vacation—no passport required.

So, I decided to kick off 2024 with a low-key staycation at Le Méridien DC (also known as The Madison Hotel). Let me tell you—it was exactly the energy boost I needed after the holiday madness. The Madison Room was equal parts cozy and classy, and I swear the bed had a magnet in it because I never wanted to leave.

The décor leaned modern but with enough warmth in the color scheme to make it feel inviting rather than clinical. I especially loved the oversized windows that let in a ton of natural light—perfect for lazy mornings or snapping a few “look-at-me-having-a-staycation” photos.

The bathroom was sleek and stocked with all the little extras you never remember to bring, like fancy soaps and lotions. Overall, it struck the perfect balance between being stylish enough for an Instagram moment and homey enough to lounge around in your pajamas all day without feeling out of place.

Lady Madison: The Real MVP

If you ever stay here, you’ve got to swing by Lady Madison, the hotel’s restaurant and lounge. It has this sweet cocktail bar vibe that feels fun and chill rather than stiff or stuffy. The bartender, Abdul, worked some serious magic with bourbon, gin, and espresso martinis which definitely made our New Year planning sessions more…enjoyable. One night, we skipped going out altogether because dinner at Lady Madison sounded way too good—and it was. Think modern Mediterranean flavors with a dash of DC flair. Trust me, you’ll want to try everything. I would recommend their Cesar Salad (with actual anchovies), Steak Frites, Crisp Shrimp and Calamari, and Raspberry & Vanilla Cheesecake.

Location, Location, Location

Le Méridien Madison is right in downtown DC, which makes it super easy to explore the city on foot or by Metro. We were a quick walk away from the National Museum of African American History and Culture, White House, the National Mall, and a bunch of touristy spots—perfect for those “let’s be tourists in our own city” vibes.

Washington Mall

One of the best parts of staying here was the staff. While I was sitting at the bar at the Lady Madison Restaurant, a few of the staff members asked me what I was looking to do. They were incredibly helpful with recs—when I mentioned I was looking for some pampering, they suggested Balian Springs. It’s about a 20- to 25-minute drive or ride, but worth it if you’re craving that spa day experience. I came back totally refreshed and ready for more exploring (or more cocktails, whichever came first). So of course, we went back to where it all started, the onsite bar.

The Bar at Lady Madison

Discovering Pappe

We also asked the hotel folks about off-site dining, and they directed us to a gem called Pappe. Oh. My. Goodness. If you’re into Indian cuisine, you need this in your life. Chef Sanjay Mandhaiya focuses on North Indian dishes (like goat vindaloo and junglee laal maas) but also sneaks in some coastal flavors with dishes like Alleppey fish curry. Everything we tried was packed with flavor and felt authentically homemade. Let’s just say our taste buds are still thanking us.

Between exploring DC, feasting on Indian food, and sipping fancy cocktails, we were also grateful for all the on-site perks:

  • A fully equipped gym (for that guilt-free snacking).
  • A business office (for those who can’t fully escape work).
  • Bright, sunlit rooms that make lounging around feel like a mini vacation in itself.
  • A handy marketplace stocked with breakfast, lattes, snacks, coffee, and quick bites—perfect for late-night cravings or an early-morning latte run.
Marketplace at Lady Madison

Le Méridien Madison DC absolutely nailed the balance between being in the middle of all the action and offering a peaceful retreat to recharge. Whether you’re staying in for a cozy dinner at Lady Madison or venturing out to places like Pappe and Balian Springs, there’s something for everyone. If your 2024 needs a dose of chill vibes, good eats, and a little bourbon, you can’t go wrong here. Cheers to new beginnings, and here’s hoping the rest of the year stays this comfy and delicious!
