Another Nik_Gold Article

I recently wrote an article including an interview for Will Packer's new movie, "Think Like A Man" based off of the book written by radio host Steve Harvey. The book is a real life rule book on real love and standards in relationships. Terrance J Howard from 106& Park, funny man Kevin Hart and many esteemed actors are featured in the movie.

It is not only a black movie but a relatable movie to all races, not only a love movie but a relationship movie that people go through regardless of sex.

The movie premieres April 20th, 2012.

I was priviledged to attend the BEmagazine Men's Issue Release Party earlier this month.

It was a pleasure to write an article for this movie which is sure to be a box office hit. Be sure to buy a copy of my article in the magazine from BEmagazine.com!

Style & Lifestyle

June Ambrose is one of my favorite stylist! Famous for reinventing Luther Vandross' image she is not only amazing and strong willed with her raspy voice and easy- secure style but she has styled celebrities from Jay Z and Chrisette Michele to Diddy and Mariah Carey. She even has her own website thejuniverse.com

She recently was the featured stylist on The X Factor and now she has her own show on VH1 called, Styled by June.

One of my former classmates Aubrey Jackson totally put me on and though I rarely get to catch a television show continuously I can't wait to catch up on and enjoy. I know I will love it!

Hello Readers!

I know it has been a while since I have posted a new post on my blog.

I am now in school full time with a part time job while starting my business and maintaining a personal life and by this time next year I will be fully independent! How extreme is that?

I would like to set some standards as far as my blog goes...

I started this blog years ago as my personal journal, with current events, poetry and pictures. Not much has changed though I have added more of my interest and certainly expanded on branding and style.

This is an interactive blog and you guys can post comments on any of my posts.

This is an opinionated, fashion, music and life-style blog.

Not only am I growing as an individual but a blogger, stylist and woman.

Come with me as I take my journey through life and achieve my dreams!

New Artist Alert

So this sensation confirms that I need to always deliver new messages to my blog! The oh so blog worthy Elle Varner I actually discovered a couple months ago with her song and video ft J. Cole, "I Only Want to Give it to You."

It expressed this funky, genuine chick who like me loves shoes and boys. It should be the theme song to a woman's love life!

The video to a song I heard on the radio, "Refill" is featured below

While listening I did the whole, hmmmm this voice sounds familiar, I love the different feel, the irish undertones, riffs in her voice and soulful sound. This chick's style is off the meter and she raps.... I'm done.

Wait! She is also from California went to NYU for music (engineering and producing)* and has a mixtape out entitled "Conversational Lush".

*Stay tuned*

Note to my Readers

What I am Listening To

Iggy and T.I released this song yesterday and it has been on repeat ever since. I'm not in love with it but I can definitely hear some more collabs between Iggy Azalea and rappers of today, maybe even some Styles P?

Recently downloaded Mac Miller's newest mixtape 'Macadelic', and I must say it is easily one of the best mixtapes of the year, yes year. I have agreed with many opinions that based off of his features his mixtape is the most diverse, yet well collected mixtape out yet. Bravo! Here is one of my favorites from the mixtape featuring another familiar rapper to my blog, Kendrick Lamar.

Style 101

**Spring is here and summer is around the corner!

Where is my spiked lemonade, straw hat and chiffon maxi dress?

What better way to spring into summer like swapping out our old color tablets for something new and fresh. What's in is my favorite...**

1. Pastels which keep everything cool, calm and collected. My favorites are pastel blue, mint green and pasty pink!

2. Neons: Without having an 80's flashback, here are some neon colors that will brighten up your day. There are even neon purples and oranges that bring something special to the table.

3. Nudes: help with the color popping in your ensemble or other accessories and keep's a look classy.

As far as clothing we have the sleek and stunning white with structured and relaxed shapes. Great for keeping a look spotless or mixing it in with other colored statement pieces.

A Nik_gold trend that I have rocked over the years is the mix and match patterns and colors. I never truly match but always coordinate. Here are some examples on how to work the look!

(Feat. Issa, Mary Katrazantou, Topshop Unique, Peter Pilotto)

Last but not least, keep it classy. We have playful girly notes that will blend into our beach wear wonderfully as well as making a going out look beyond gorgeous with feminine touches in jewelry, colors like pastels or even makeup with colored lips and full lashes.

Whatever you decide to rock this season make sure to wear it with confidence and ...

I finally turned 20 this weekend!

Not only was it epic because I have come to truly appreciate life, being all the things I was put through and made it out stronger this year but I also had a lot of people who wanted to celebrate my special day with me!

I didn't have as many pictures of the past couple of nights as I thought I would,but maybe that is a good thing... lol

One valuable lesson I have learned is, yes we are all striving for the ultimate goal in life but enjoy the ride there!
