Sunrise Sunshine!

{Nikki Rich style!~unique gray/fuchsia tank paired with spunky yellow jacket & distressed denim}

Hello gems! Having a little fun with a side shoot…changing things up every now and then aside from work :] Playing dress up is a good way to jazz up the scene and strut the fashion.

Mixture blend of the black and yellow hues bring out the different textures in hair! Absolutely la’avvv the bold pop it can bring to an outfit. Shot this angle with pinned hair creating layers and a pop of  coral color for a sultry pouty lip! XoxoxoNL

Color block wedges

{1.Matiko Echo Light Pastel Color Block Platform Wedges}

~These are such a treat, they ought to come on an ice cream truck! Pastel pink upper has four simple bands of patent leather, plus a mint green heel cup with a pink patent tassel to top off the 2.5″ zipper. Tonal top-stitching. Double platform layers 2.25″ of mint and vanilla, and 5.75″ wedge heel goes full mint (with rubber tip).Cushioned insole. Non-skid rubber sole.

{2.Yoki Raven Orange Color Block Cutout Lace-Up Platform Wedges}

~Lace-up, vegan suede upper has an aqua peep toe vamp and a beige quarter, with side cutouts, coated shoestrings, and an elasticized slingback. Tonal top-stitching. High, rust orange platform is 2.25″ at toe, then steadily builds to 5″ at wedge heel (plus rubber tip). Cushioned insole. Non-skid rubber sole.

{Fun color blocking wedge heels}

If I could wear heels everyday rain or shine these would be it! Nothing better than separations of bold colors to make the outfit come together…Perfect to wear with that summer dress waiting in the back of the closet~hiding during the winter season. But alas ladies it’s time to bring that puppy out and strut it proud and what else would compliment that dress or skirt better than a fun color block wedge heel?!

Can’t wait! xoxoNR

Side shoot

Hi Gems! Take a glance at some photos that were shown in 944 Magazine!

I’m wearing a custom piece that is a rendition to the Nikki Rich Spring line having some fun with the dogs!

I designed the edgy 1 piece suit with zebra print, florals and black patches to create a balance in spunk and femininity.

It’s important to feel good in everything you do…even walking the dogs you can look fierce, confident and strong! Photos were taken by the very talented photographer and friend, Josh Madson. Hope you enjoyed Gems!

Spring 2012 ~Mint Green

{Jenny Packham Spring 2012 Runway}

Goodbye long sleeves and helloooo sunshine!! Racks are full of the newest Spring trends and I know what color I’ll be keeping an eye out…MINT GREEN!

Polish: Yves Saint Laurent ‘Manicure Couture’ , Sally Hansen ‘Sea’ Smooth and Perfect Color, Butter London ‘Bossy Boots’ nail lacquer, Dior ‘Waterlily’ Dior Vernis rose-scented nail lacquer, Zoya ‘Bevin’ nail polish, Essie ‘Navigate Her’ 

This is a color you don’t want to pass up gems! We’ve all heard the saying “minty fresh” thanks to winter fresh gum and maybe Colgate toothpaste…but now the saying is going full force towards fashion!

Adding a splash of mint green to your wardrobe will add that FRESH new look Spring has for us.

{Ermanno}

My way of seeing it is having that same feeling when chewing gum…clean, refreshing, and lets be honest…yummy! It’s a funny thought comparing such a simplistic color to such an invigorating feeling but that’s the beauty of fashion…It’s not something that exists only in clothes, it’s in our hearts & the way we live in it.

Hello Gems!! Thought I’d post a fun creative shoot…It’s important to stay creative whether it comes to fashion, art, photography and basically anything to keep the flows flowing! Be innovative, change your routine and overall HAVE FUN!
