Personal X Smile X Progress
Stay safe X I love you!
These past couple of months have taught me a lot about myself than ever before.
Seeing myself recover from obstacles and use them as stepping stones. Catching myself becoming content and immediately turning the fire up based on my goals and knowing anything you WANT you can ascertain.
Now comes the productive winter for a rewarding summer. Staying busy progressive because I promised someone very special to me and to myself I'll be in a different place by next summer. Just wait on it! Aimed with a 2nd job, a great support system and a mind full of ideas and plans everyday I wake up with a better view of life.
***Instead of writing a list of what's wrong with life focus on the good and live life like it's golden because it certainly isn't promised.***
Take a moment out to read a poem I wrote today.
The twist
Vibrating lesions toss my body one way then another
The beauty of authenticity bares my soul willingly
While tender fascinating kisses are planted where deep bruises once laid
Warm tears of patience and appreciation trickle down my left cheek effortlessly
Never has a care burn so deep and shine so bright
Blinded by the dedication and passion
I tilt my crown to the sun and praise the mountains and valleys of the earth
My pounding rigorous breathe escapes in whispers of wonder
And finally, I own the white engrossing mist of consciousness

Music Videos X Jay Z X JT X Chris X Nicki X Lorde X Drake
Here are a few of my favorite songs and their official music videos. Enjoy!
I love this video of Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, "Holy Grail". It was clean yet innovative the way they switched it up. Very Nice.
Dedicated to Chris Brown heading to long term rehab for attacking a photo bomber is his new video with Nicki Minaj. I could watch this video on mute and just watch him dance actually.
My favorite new song has the weirdest video but I don't care I still love the song and Lorde's quirky feel.
Lorde in Royal
Haven't gotten tired of Drake's acting in his video "Hold On, We're Going Home" yet! I think it's safe to say we will be seeing some more acting in the near future!

Rihanna X Pour it Up X Music Video
Elaborating on her love for the art of stripping Rihanna serves something in her Explicit "Pour it Up" video. Knowing Rihanna had some rhythm I wasn't startled by her raunchy moves on the throne. It looks like she learned a thing or two from her visits to clubs. I like how she incorporated her Caribbean iced out bra and the blond wig is still growing on me but not a fave. Now I'm waiting for a new album or video to a more recent song.....
In general going to the strip club in Atlanta and a few other major cities has become like heading to a regular club but with good food, barber shops etc while for others it's remained Taboo.

What do you think, about the video and Atlanta's strip club obsession? *Comment Below
Fashion Week X Spring 2014
Spring fashion is the start of something new for the new year. Whether it's to upgrade your look or add some special pieces to your collection a revival of fashion comes inevitably with the change of season.

One of my two favorites are fresh new Ivory Coast designer Loza Maleombo for her layered tie-dye looks and extensive use of structure. I appreciate the diversity of fashion and she brings a new look being a West African designer.
My second favorite is Givenchy for his beautiful workings of drapery and luxurious materials.
Nik_Gold 2014 Style Forecast
***S/S 2014 promises us lots of leather ( so don't put those leather skirts and shorts away yet) and metallic material, tribal, floral and plaid print and a diverse collection of avant garde structure, sporty chic looks and classic lined fits.
Whatever you decide to wear for the upcoming season personalize it and make it yours!

Dance X Style X SYTYCD
I LIVE!
Dancing and style are two of my favorite things (well aside for food). I have been catching up with SYTYCD when I find the time and found two pieces of dance and style close to my heart.
The first one is Ke$ha themed (stylist/artist) I've been following for years (who is now working with American Apparel ) mixed with Lady Gaga's quirky dancer/choreographer Mark and a bit of a MIA feel. The style is sharp, dancing a bit avant-garde and even a tad drag. You know I love a splash of G0ld with everything! Check out this out of the world routine below!
The second piece is with my favorite dancer of the season, Jasmine along with Amy. They are both so sharp and distinctive in their movement. Let's not skip these costumes!!! With one of my favorite songs "The Diva Dance" from my favorite movie "The Fifth Element" the choreographer captures the novelty and uniqueness of sound. As a stylist I would have done white or blue asymmetrical wigs instead of mere black ones. However, the piece is beautiful, awkward, modelesque and attention capturing. Enjoy!

Big Sean X Jhene Aiko X Kendrick Lamar X Naya Rivera
I like this new Big Sean. On "Beware" Big Sean collaborates with rhythmic and angelic voiced Jhene Aiko again. I've heard some recent news that Big Sean's new album is going to be crazy. After hearing "Control" with Kendrick and Jay Electronica I might give to a chance. It sparked a twitter war over KDots controversial and honest lyrics. Check out the video for "Beware" and take a listen to "Control".
"They live for some moments and I live for a living."

Bakery X Foodgasm X Sweet Halos
One of my good friends Angel is a magician at culinary arts. Angel is originally from New Orleans, she went to school for culinary arts and has had numerous chef experience. She has been baking basically all her life. When I'm out with Angel some part of the evening is going to include food or she will end up whipping up some magic. Every dish is flavorful and made with love. She has opened up her own business and I couldn't be more proud of her watching her grow as a chef! Have an event, baby shower or party coming up?
Call Sweet Halos and experience this foodgasm!
Entertaining Group TGT
Three interesting videos below, the TGT music video for "Sex never Felt Better", hilarious performance on talk show "The Couch" and a 105.1 interview with group TGT.
Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese. These three powerhouse singers sound so good! I heard their song "Sex Never Felt Better" months ago and decided to post the funny performance along with their interview with the breakfast club. Personality, looks and pure talent I hope they to stick around for a while because their type of R&B is missing in the industry. Also in the interview why is Tank so funny?!? With that charisma and smile no wonder he has 4 kids.

Playbook Details by nikgold featuring gold jewelry
Fall is a great time to incorporate those bigger pieces in your closest. From jerseys to boyfriends shirts and jeans. You can layer or break up the look with some feminine details. Here I paired a black and white jersey with a well tailored sunshine yellow pant. I brought in the season with the plum lipstick and accessorized it with a tribal print clutch, cuff and strap heels and classy gold pieces for jewelry.
