Poem X Scorcher

Finger tip numbed
By the sizzling rhythmn of thick ashy smoke
Seeping through sea blue vessels
Breaking off citrus kisses
Underneath your seared heart
Damp traces evaporate on your mahognany hurt
While your eyes shed
Snowflakes of innocent delivery
My flaming palm guides your
Icey smooth cheek to my
Motherly chest so you can
Hear how human I am
The flame of sweet life dancing in my veins
You are nestled safely now in my scorching passion.

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!

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!

Fashion Show Coverage X Rafael Cox

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!
