Beauty And Style Lessons We Learned From Carnival Masqueraders

Feathers. That is all.
Angelyn Francis

Carnival celebrations happen yearly in Brazil, the Caribbean islands and places with large Afro or Caribbean populations.

For Toronto and Barbados, it's just about that time of year to jump up in di streets. It's a chance for thousands of masqueraders to get decked out in costumes that are colourful, bedazzled and over-the-top in the best ways.

Carnival style and beauty is jaw-droppingly stunning, and there are some lessons we can carry into our day-to-day long after de party done.
