JOJO's SASS

Joanna-Smurf Blue inside the converse store Trincity Mall 
Joanna Hutton is the perfect package. From those "chinky","chinee" eyes to her impeccable style, she has it! she makes it!she is it! With her down-to-earth personality she is absolutely irresistible. Joanna has been one of my closest friends since I was 11.The first time we met we immediately clicked and subsequently got into trouble together but since then we've been great friends. You know what they say -"good friends will be there to bail you out of jail but great friends will be sitting there beside you". I'd like to tell everyone about the interesting experiences I've had with her but i'd not want to take away from your own experience.The girl is "hella" funny,super entertaining and probably one of the most genuine persons I've ever met.It's impossible to be around her and not leave with a laugh.

The child is multi-talented; part comedian, part vocalist, part hairstylist, Joanna the kid sister of Nadia Batson is also a member of the star band ,"Nadia Batson's Sass and along with Elena Rawlins does background vocals for several performances and tracks by the lead singer. She hopes to one day be performing her own tracks but admits to having a little stage fright that seems to be hindering the process.


Aside from performing with the band this 5'4 miss is also an hair stylist and is responsible for several shocking yet gorgeous hairstyles of her band mates as well as her own outrageous looks.Sporting hair from copper to "smurf" blue,blond or red, in curls,long flowing locks, or short styles, She trends and takes the risks that most wouldn't dare. If anything she's known for her hair. During her performances I always hear random dudes say "that chick with the pink hair real "bess" or that chick with the fruity pebbles hair on point".However she styles it, it suits her and she looks great.
In terms of fashion most of her outfits are altered or designed as an signature Joanna Hutton article, for some reason it works for her and she's even spoken up a few times  about persuing fashion design. She has even done some modelling .

Till then Joanna is just the girl who brings the laughter and realism.She's the girl not afraid to be herself who doesn't forget her roots,remains humble, is extremely friendly and always willing to help a friend in need.

Facebook Shopping


My new thing is shopping online. I am yet to meet a girl who does not have a genuine appreciation for trendy outfits, glamorous makeup, cute bags and shoes and if perhaps they do exist they don't know what they've been missing. I love them all and meanwhile my peers may gravitate towards liming (trini word for hanging out) drinking and just living up their youth the convenience that shopping over facebook has given me to enjoy these "limes" looking trendy has been awesome.

Shopping online is easy because it gives you the opportunity to access trends and styles that have not yet arrived on the local market.When clothing arrives on the Trinidad market it's very rare to come across original ideas and outfits as local buyers and trend shops tend to sell the same things.You constantly have to worry about going out and seeing someone wearing your outfit (total embarrassment especially if they are wearing it more fashionably than you are). I myself have been a victim of this so when i stumbled upon "Pretty Little Things" or "The Finer Things by Anella" i jumped at the opportunity at once and many days, spent my pitons on wearables that I liked. From dresses to swimsuits, the options and colors vary at very affordable prices. Prices ranging from $100-$200, making clothing for a non-worker affordable.
From time to time these sites tend to have sale and drop prices on a lot of stock which is actually the best time for purchasing gifts-cute trinkets like handbags or jewellery the list goes on and on.It's quite simple All you do is go on to your designated supplier copy the link for the object u desire and message the company.
Someone would respond to you almost immediately giving you bank account details so you can make a 50% deposit and your order should meet you within 2 -3 weeks.Sometimes the orders can be delivered as early as within the same day. It all depends on whether you ordered an in-stock item or an pre-ordered item.
I imagine that a lot of people may be skeptical at first as they have no idea where their money would be going so I recommend that they look out for a few things just for legitimacy reasons.

1)Try  to find contact information. ( Talking to someone on the phone may give you comfort)
2)Look back into old albums to see how long the site has been active.
3)Look at comments from other customers(just so you know you are not the only one)
4)Try to notice re-occurring customers( in most cases people would have purchased from the site before and the seller would try to maintain a relationship with this customer so they would have conversations over items.
Happy Shopping!!
