Trending Topics X Justice X Pixie Cuts X #iLive Alexander McQueen

This week in trending topics, Beyonce and Rihanna get pixie's

And why not, it's their hair and right to switch it up.

Both ladies carry it well and there will be a severe drop in weave sales with these influential stars solidifying it's beautiful being different.

Nicki Minaj sports this beautiful stained glass print Alexander McQueen dress. The stained glass effect has been in style this season and will blend well in the fall/winter collections. I totally adore this look and can't wait to rock it in my own way!

Pharrell Williams And Cara Delevingne By David Bailey For Vogue UK September 2013

My obsession with my husband Pharrell is in full affect as he pairs with model Cara Delevingne, who was let go from H&M but still on top of her game snagging deals and covers around the world. They just look so good separately and paired in these pictures. Pharrell is not just a musical genius but the brain behind so much music coming out including Blurred Lines, my blog theme song and so much more coming to your ears soon! He's back like he never left and of course hasn't aged one bit.

I LOVE Ebony Magazine for this cover alone. Opening more eyes and not letting the injustice be forgotten. Trayvon Martin and so many more innocent murders. Pairing well known celebrities with their son sporting hoods. We have to continuously fight for justice and keep this topic well known. Silence with injustice is deadly. I will be purchasing a copy of this issue, I hope you do as well.

With all that is going on in around the corner and around the world, remember to...

Big Boi XNik_Gold X BEmagazine

I, Nicole Ayilola of Nik_Gold Designs have had the pleasure of writing the feature story/interview from one of my favorite rappers/creators Big Boi in @BEmagazines 2nd annual men's issue.

(If you haven't seen the first article in which I also wrote with "Think Like a Man's" producer William Packer, and former BET host now E! news host Terrance J ), BEmagazine First Men's Issue ft Nik_Gold

Not only have I been tantalized by Big Boi's creative rhythm but ultimate aura of pure genius and coolness that emits seamlessly.

You can find out more when the issue is released the first week of May. #STAYTUNED

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.

Music: Brandy Back in Session

R&B artist and former "Moesha" is back at it and better than ever! 90's music has sculpted my love for real R&B and her coming back collaborating with today's hottest artists makes me feel like hope is still alive. And it is really is. 

Brandy 's growth as an artist has shown and she is everywhere including the top of the charts. Even her 90's braids have trended back into the cycle. She is now gracing the cover of Vibe Magazine's October/November 2012 Issue and discussing in her interview dealing with Whitney Houston's passing and her future goals for the industry.

In the words of one of my favorite Stylist/Designers. These shots are EVERYTHING!
