Fall/Winter 2012 NGD Collection X Bang


 
 I have always been the prima donna to layer shirts/skirts/shorts and stockings and stray away from hooded apparel and jumpsuits. I have since then evolved and adapted my style into select fall/winter pieces for males and females. From dashing beanies to stylish graphic shirts and sweatshirts, who says you can't be stylish and cozy at the same time? Affordable prices as low as $10 you can look royal and live_gold without breaking the bank!






Nik_Gold Designs X Collaborations X Exclusive Pics

Here are a few snapshots of a photo shoot earlier this year with one of my favorite models.

Music X Azealia Banks X Kendrick Lamar


Ever since her club/vogue toned voice and vulgar lyrics graced my ears I knew we were meant to be.
In my playlist that is.
Azealia Amanda Banks, a Harlem born American rapper aka "Rapunzel" has crossed such covers as Dazed X Confused magazine and her covers are as scandalous as her lyrics!
Whenever one of her beats come on I want to vogue, fall out and top it off with a signature strut down the runway. Music should move you!

View a couple of my favorite Azealia videos below









I've been waiting for Kendrick Lamar to be on and receive his spotlight hype. 
Kendrick is not the type of artist to fit into "commercial" standings. His view, regular speech and lyrics pull at the standard of life. More people will become fans of the music I listened to for many nights.
The feeling you have like you're the only person feeling a certain way and then he sums it up in 16 bars over a hook with harmonizing strings playing.

Take a break out of your day and listen to this GOOD music.

Poem X Emotions and What Not

A little something I wrote when I was calling sleeps name and it wasn't calling me...
Enjoy!



Styling X Profiling X NGD




I had the pleasure of working with Natasha for Part 2/3 of Nik_Gold Designs photo shoot premiere.

These are Part 1 and Part 2 where I am going for a spunky denim/camo feel
and the plaid/studded hipster.

Nik_Gold Designs is the brand bringing a royal feel to looks from grudge to glam.

Live life like it's golden!

It felt good to not only style and accessorize but to be in front of the camera once again. Modeling has always been a passion of mine since my younger days in New York and I must say it brings me life to pose and strut again on the runway.
Look out world I'm serving face!

Music Videos X Rihanna X Shine Bright Like a Diamond


Rihanna has done it again with this video!
Chris Brown X Rihanna are two creative individuals who are doing their art and don't give AF as they rightfully should.
When I was told Chris Brown would be the main love interest I thought I would at least see his face. I guess his features and tattoos are enough to suit.

I've marinated with the song and absolutely love it while the video leaves me in a trance. Pretty tranquil and positive vibes. Enjoy and shine bright*



Look of the Day X NwhTROIS Fitting X MimiFaust X Vina Mills!







Snapped a quick photo of me at my first official fitting for @BEmagazine @nwhTROIS fashion show. I opted for a chill yet classy look on the brisk November night. 
I absolutely love my pointy toe highlighter heels. I'm used to wearing heels higher than 4" but I still felt very girly in this number!
I love patterns, so this trend of big bold prints does me justice along with a beautiful colored skinny jeans and point heel shoe with my own Nik_Gold Accessories and a sharp middle part bob.

Vintage : Snakeskin Blouse/ Thift good
Purple Skinnies: H&M
Pink Pointy Toe Stilettos: Shoe Boutique Atlanta , GA
Nik_Gold Designs: Heart Diamond Ring and Spike Earrings

Be sure to get your $20 VIP tickets HERE!
I will be premiering my line, NGD Accessories and even some custom clothing along with other talented designers! It is the place to be with networking, fashion and complimentary drinks in Atlanta!

The beautiful MiMi Faust will be hosting and the bada** Vina Mills performing!


 It is always good running into @VinaMills I previously accessorized her for a Black Socialites magazine cover!


Voting 2012 X Obama X Vote





This year was my first year voting, being the young and vivacious 20 year old lady that I am.
For some reason my old soul felt like I voted the first time around for Obama or just wished I did in those cold DC streets
but I did November 6th 2012 and I was elated to see life changes and history made.
Only 40 years ago President Kennedy's brother was quoted as to see America electing an "Afro-American negro" as president in approximately 40 years and I am proud to say he has been elected for a second run!

Lets be aware voting because he is of a certain race is just as ignorant as not voting at all. Learn why Obama is such a great push for ALL of the people and then support! It doesn't hurt to have a voice. It helps to have a opinion of your own!
