Videoshoot X NikGoldDesigns

NikGoldDesigns X Custom Designs X Videoshoot

The other night just cruising through Atlanta I spotted a video shoot taking place at a well known downtown studio. When I pulled up one of the Love Hip Hop husbands to Rasheeda mentioned me to join the event. So with that notion I did, at first as an extra but when I felt the need to put more Nik_Gold Designs into it for accessories and styling. I promptly networked and made my way to the dressing room to put in work. The photo shoot lasted until in the morning but I left knowing I had classes super early which was a disappoint but fueled me to do more while I was on set. Life of a college student, business owner, worker and journalist. Juggling a busy schedule but nothing is going to stop my drive or creativity. Let's work.

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!

Spikes X Prints X Color

If you have ever seen one of my favorite fashion competition shows, Project Runway, you may of heard of Rafael Cox. An ATLien and season 9 contestant whose only let the shows experience catapult him as one of Atlanta's go to designers. I was privileged to premiere my custom/handmade jewelry line Nik_Gold Designs * at BE Magazine's No Wire Hangers Fashion show late last year along side Rafael's clothing line which was premiering his new season's selections. Rafael always comes with refreshing, statement numbers and even bolder color schemes and silhouettes  I attended the event front row along side BE Magazine, Atlanta socialites, stylist, models and even some reality show stars. Great networking and lots of cameras and lots of smoke! Check out some photos of the event filled night below!

It never hurts to be diverse.

Especially when it comes to music.

Not only are you exposing yourself and experiencing life in many different lights but exponentially growing yourself in every way possible, and why would you want to limit your own potential?

When it comes to music growing up in New York I have always been inspired to experience different sounds of music.

From Hip hop to pop/rock, electric to eclectic, acoustic, reggae/soca,  jazz and classical, my ears always loved the range and soul that music could express. Every sound has a story and way to tell it.

Below are three videos for 3 genres of today's music I vibe with and liked the videos' to. Enjoy!

BE Magazine Holiday Special X Nik_Gold Journalist

            
         I love to write for BE magazine! I've been writing essays and stories since I could remember and have been a published journalist since high school. Combining my love for all things fashion and my passion for journalism I am still thanking God for  more experience and the opportunity to write a interview article on Mimi Faust. 

          The Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast member I also accessorized in Nik_Gold Accessories for the @BEmagazine benefit fashion show this past November (Read that post HERE). Meeting her and talking to her gave me insight on the down to earth and entrepreneur she really is, while forming an article on her recent success and appeal to her fans was a pleasure and true motivation. I love networking and meeting different people with strong goals and morals.
