Spring into Texture X Style

Spring into Texture! by nikgold featuring embellished tops

This spring is all about mixing soft and hard textures. From crochet to leather, metal to plastic and chiffon the more diversity the better. Here I combined a statement canary yellow blazer with black/white printed pants or a leather trimmed A-line skirt. Texture is added with the metal trendy cropped shirt and adding more spring flavor with the peach ankle strap pumps and pale nude gold detailed clutch!

Birthday Special X 21 X Personal

I never plan my birthday celebrations. I don't even remember the last time I had a party, usually it's dinner and an outing somewhere. If I'm lucky I try something new and always buy something new or thrifted. This past year has taught me how precious life really is and how fast time flies. Fortunately I was able to take off from work, relax and plan a couple of events.

Leaving the spa feeling refreshed (the red purse was not apart of the outfit lol)

New Music Video X Blurred Lines

I came across this video and loved the concept. It didn't hurt that Pharrell was in it..at all. I adored the video, fashion, energy, props, even Kodak use of the striking brown skinned model throughout but the actual song seemed to drag on at one point. Needless to say I'll be hooked and repeating the lyrics in a matter of days!
