Jade Novah X Show Out X Stay Music Video


I had the pleasure of meeting amazing songstress and soulful personality Jade Novah at the BE annual toasting event!


Jade has been a special artist BE Magazine has covered. I first spotted her in her cover for Rihanna's Stay that received over a million in views. I was captivated by her uniqueness, style, full and majestic voice and Broadway style of singing. It's almost as if she can fill a room with her personality alone and then her voice takes over.

Listen to her new song "Show Out" It definitely gets you pumped up, flipping that hair and a little two step! You can't help but appreciate her vocal delivery in her music. It's filled with energy, passion and an honest calling to sing her lungs out!



Also my favorite video and vocals in "Stay" I love the A-line skirt in the kitchen scene. YES mam!

NGD X F/W Preview X Royal Slideshow

Heading into the fall with my fall/winter collection I have decided to preview and shoot with some custom pieces in the mean time. With my sewing skills growing I get to work with many different materials and enjoyed roaming the isles of MOOD when I was in NYC earlier this month. I can't believe how fast this summer went by!

Now it's back to business as I continue to expand my brand and grow my skills in making clothes, customizing pieces and of course hand making jewelry and accessories.
I can't wait to style my newest pieces in my photo shoot coming up and show you whats in store for Nik_Gold Designs!

NGD X 1 Yr Online Anniversary



Tomorrow 7/4/13* is the first year anniversary of my online boutique. 
Nik_Gold Designs has been in business for almost 4 years and selling online has helped tremendously. Not only can you custom order but purchase one of a kind pieces online. The anniversary marks my growth and the potential to make this full time, the anniversary is just in time because most of my previous items are sold out. Accessorizing celebrities video and photo shoots, hosting fashion events and premiering my line at an annual BE Magazine fashion show has only fueled me to do more and bigger. There are levels to this but there are no limits for me.

 This year I've worked more with clothes, hand sewn and custom, I grew a deeper passion for making things from scratch just seeing a vision become reality, it's therapeutic. I have more eye catching handmade jewelry and accessories and I love making  extraordinary pieces for guys as well. I will be releasing some special pieces for the rest of the summer and it feels wonderful to have the support system I have. Emails, meetings and phone calls "What's next?", or "Can you create...?" or "I need to shoot with your line" fuels me everyday. Nik_Gold Designs is more than a line but a lifestyle of royalty and self worth.

Music Video X @DimitriMcDowell @MrNewEra13


Covering one of my favorite artists and friends @DimitriMcDowell he teams up with @MrNewEra13 to make a superbly covered "B**** Don't Kill My Vibe" , filmed on spring break in Panama. They put their own unique vibe and mesmerizing lyrics on the song and made it theirs!
Take a listen below and check out some of my former posts on Musical genius Dimitri McDowell. 
Christmas EP X Interview with artist Dimitri McDowell



I love poetry!
The feeling it emits by describing episodes and moments in time.
I have to have the "define craftmenship" of art, feeling and color. Take a look of this emotionally channeled poem below

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.

Heard You Got That Sticky -_-

Easily taken as a bad chemistry project.
But for me it tests my patience and how to perform under pressure
The back of my head ticking like a bomb
Legs quivering.
All these songs about the same thing doesn't help
Nor soothe the pain.
To be quite honest who I surround myself with really does help my...
predicament.
Wiser and faster like a bunny rabbit in a hole.
I will not be trapped under this spell.
And if you haven't caught on 
Wipe the grease off your hands.

lol, "Good!Good!"
But it makes me want to dance again, Seriously.

The Thrill
Designs by nik_gold



I finally did it. All this talk and finally action*. Creating my first shirt by hand.







Its cropped and a wonderful print, I’m also making a fitted skirt too. I feel creatively fueled and passionate about what I’m doing. Once I finish thinking about one task three more ideas pop into my head.
I feel like I’m starting what I should have years ago. Like the life I’m living on the side of this one is past designing onto selling and buying and being halfway famous and boy o boy rich.

I have to stop thinking about the alternative life and live it. I already started I believe but honestly not without God’s help. Guidance and patience is needed in everything I have learned. Taking my time on one piece so it’s a quality piece and not a 99 cent store one.

I also made these pocahantas sandals I have ALWAYS wanted !!!!!



nik_gold fashion line fall 2010 is on its way. With statement pieces and classic wear, hopefully before I go back to school I will be selling to various people, even businesses.

Now until then time to wash and moisturize this hair..
I don’t mind thick hair as long as it looks healthy and right now it looks dry. In fact I miss my bowl cut from my freshman year, first semester. So I will wash deep conditions and leave in condition and curl. Don’t worry I have my heat protector, but most of all I need to feel that healthy body and movement then I’ll leave it alone for a week =]


Hair and clothes, shoes???
Eh, I’ll stick to aspiring to buy my first pair of christian louboutins. =]

That’s it for now, still job hunting and such, I need money to buy cloth!! Pray for me and mine, I pray for my readers =]


                   This is only a start.

Wonder Me: truth lies beneath

So I trust no guy or your just ruthless, moody and insensitive or just overly way TOOOO sensitive.

Um I despise my professor Dr. Spaulding, hope she passes me though..

Camera lost after a day of taking pictures...

Phones off..

Haven't even checked my account balance because I know its crazy and negative and afraid the cops will come for my card. No More Hello KittY!!

I got a new keyboard though!! lol

There are other negative stuff but I have no time to name everything horrible taking place in my teenage life.
However I am rather happy, in a very free and creative aspect of my Pisces world. Very intuitive about the people and events around me. Able to clear my mind and complete the task at hand. Also stems from the fact that I don't have a phone.

Cant wait until Thanksgiving, but honestly its more of a vibe, aura and energy re-filler, food, church and downtown/fashion/night life. Throw some friends, walking my dog probably stone crest mall, getting my hair done and that's basically Thanksgiving. I miss my mommy!



UNTITLED



Ice cold throne
Completed and adorned with passionate weapons of pink colored roses
Sweat in my bones
Reap the instances of the unknown
Mommy always said be careful what you ask for
Independence and closed eyes don't go hand in hand
Victory nails my strength to the ground and cements my only progressive thoughts
Love phrases tantalize my mind with no examples
Red onioned sensation dances through my thoughts
My hands fasten as I realize my belt isn't secured on this ride.
Line skipped
Seat beneath me
Air above and around me
I'm flying mommy can't you see??!!
The stars are down now grass and ride leave above me
Spinning red death chokes my oxygen
But my mind is finally free
Triggered pointed chains break from lack of air and noise
I can read in colors now see with words taste through sounds
The world doesn't revolve around me
I revolve around the world
Vision Seeker
Independence reaper
The victorious one, crown holder, winner of wants
Only my soul can ride deeper

Scrumptious I promise...

So Chris Brown released his new video yay? Right?
I liked it and realized too many people on one song is cool but what's going to happen on the remix?? Just a thought =)



Do we really need Chris Brown walking buck at us through a screen?
=X But nice video lightskinned Mr...





So I thought this was sooooo cute!
A user on Youtube made a video for Usher's new song, "Paper's" because they liked it so much =)
Enjoy




nik_gold promises not to lie... she is listening to this super duper hyped up
"No Ceilings" dilemna by Lil Wayne...
*** out of ***** so far
the lyrics are catching me but I'm not won over yet!
I'd still rather listen to gangsta love on repeat =)
