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!

Natural Hair X Weave X Summer Vs Winter Styles

I love hair, changing up a look or updating an image. That's why I've learned how to transition my natural hair from summer to winter time. I've been natural for over a year (Honestly, it's been so long I just know it's been over a year could be two.) I love weave though, I don't care what anyone says, it is so easy to manage and helps my hair grow tremendously.

Unlike the lies people say is you stop getting a perm it is not guaranteed your hair will fall out. Mind you I trimmed my own hair because an afro looks weird with straight ends... The routine I've now grown accustom to is straight hair during the winter so my hair can rest and I can deep condition my hair in between hair styles, while during the summer I love my hair out, being free, driving with the top down and loving my curls. Mind you it is a tad bit of maintenance because I wet and braid/twist my hair go to sleep and let it out. Sometimes it gets frizzy in two seconds and sometimes I resort to a little secret technique *wink.

However, I have been using Miss Jessies, the new creamy crack and it defines my curl way more and gives it a brilliant shine, smell and bounce. I can easily go from jumping in a pool, shower to sleep, wake up and not look like a wet dog.

What do you do to maintain your summer/winter hairstyles?

Merry Christmas X Dimitri McDowell Holiday EP

Just in time for the holiday season my friend and budding artist Dimitri McDowell has made a holiday EP entitled "December Lights" you can listen and download it HERE!

Merry Christmas!

It has been another prosperous and growing year. I am personally thankful and appreciative for every blessing and experience in my life. Usually I don't play Christmas music but taking the time out and enjoying the precious time around you is vital.

So take a break, play a holiday song while sipping your holiday drink and be merry, because you deserve it!

I have always been the prima donna to layer shirts/skirts/shorts and stockings and stray away from hooded apparel and jumpsuits. I have since then evolved and adapted my style into select fall/winter pieces for males and females. From dashing beanies to stylish graphic shirts and sweatshirts, who says you can't be stylish and cozy at the same time? Affordable prices as low as $10 you can look royal and live_gold without breaking the bank!

Style 365 24/7

Fashion Night out came and went here in Atlanta. Bringing out fashionistas, models, stylist, designers and more.

I did some media coverage for @BEMagazine

Viewed H&M's Fashion Show at Atlantic Station and was invited to premiering seasonal lines of some International designers.

I enjoyed my evenings out envisioning myself in my home city of New York City, doing the same with my girls. living in the city once again. But for now Atlanta will do.

I had tons of fun and loved being around like minded people, all creative, worldly and positive. It motivates me to do more, better for now and forever.

Fashion Week isn't just one week but everyday for me!

Check out some pictures of my fashion week and some fashion videos of a few designers I admire (Nicole Miller & Herve Leger) below!
