Who says you can't dress fashionable with a budget?

Often I see people brag on labels when they are still not stylish in any way of form.

Fashion may be trendy but style is what you do with it, the confidence and taste you have!

Instagram X Business Woman X Alex_Elle

So there is no secret I love to support once I know the cause is right.

I love finding people that are like-minded in that way.

I have been following one very inspirational individual.

Meet Alex_Elle Creator X Blogger X Poet X Vegetarian

I have been following her journey making her brand, her eclectic jewelry which has inspired me to never stop making mine! Her natural journey has encouraged me to stick to my own, though it is weaved up and much easier to handle I will always read good tips and stay alert for natural products. Alex maintains style and grace while being a naturalist, mother and an overall inspiration.

Before even meeting her I know her heart is in the right place and this is another reason I love networking!

Following Alex_Elle has not only motivated me to do me and not give up when there are trials but be better and grow from every situation.  Be that beautiful, strong multi-talented woman and most importantly stay humble, yet confident in what you have to offer.

It doesn't hurt that her jewelry is unique, many socialites and celebrities have been seen wearing it and Alex herself is one hot tamale.

Yes, I said it.

After a church sermon one day I realized I needed these positive movers around me to consistently stimulate me and I have been focused and positive ever since!

Shattered Glass X Custom Jewelry

One of my favorite pair of shattered glass earrings I made in college about 2 years ago, then a bigger version this year which I absolutely love! They will be available on my website. www.NikGoldDesigns.com They go perfectly to replace standard studs and will also be available with the shattered glass necklace!

DIY Ombre Blond-Red Tutorial

I started off with 1B Malaysian Straight to Wavy 16 inch hair. 

I sewed it in, I layered it, kept it curly and straightened it.

(It looked great both ways!)

After a few weeks I tried Ombre, which I originally did last year and had fun with the look so I wanted to try it again.

 Separating the hair and bleaching the ends until I got a favorable black-brown-blond tips,

I liked the blond tip look way more than the regular colored hair and then as usual I got bored and decided to dye the tips a cool color.

I wanted a light yet edgy color and choose this pinkish bright red Splat color.

The permanent color was vibrant. I recieved a load of compliments and what I aim to do, looking as real as possible.

I however, would NOT bleach and dye my hair, I will just stick with applying it to weave.

Decided to twist this gold wire into a cuff the other day. I was inspired by the trendy metallic cuffs I've been seeing lately, including Rihanna's at the 54th Grammy's.
