Shop my look up here:

Happy Friday! Today is my second day of attending the FashionNXT 2015 show here in Portland! Last night was so much fun. My friend and I got VIP passes and got to talk with some of the other participants of the show. Not only was everyone kind, but very friendly and helpful as well! I can't wait for tonight's show. Today I'm wearing an H&M cape, Topshop dungarees, vintage boots, and my new Chanel bag! Keep a look out for new posts as the night progresses! xx-Nikka

Polyvore X FashionNxt: Day 1 recap

Devonation's fall collection was one of the most unique shows of the night with a fresh, clean cut look that swirled minimalism and elegant fall together. It was truly something that struck the crowd with awe and mystery. 

A common trend that I saw within this collection (and for the whole show tonight), were sheer dresses and tops, along with lace decor to give it a playful edge. 

I was lucky enough to get an inside scoop from the designer himself, Devon Yan to discuss his personal goals that he achieved with this show. 

-What inspired him to make these types of designs for his fall collection?

It turns out he named the collection 'Supernatural.' He was walking down the street coming back home one day and he took in his surroundings: the leaves were changing colors, the cold wind was blowing, and the sun was going down. He got inspired by the weather and the cold air that was itching it's way into the warm atmosphere, so that's why he decided to have a minimalism theme for this year's show.

-How did he decide what material to use when creating his outfits?

Devon tries to draw sketches and gain some concept of what his theme is all about. It's a fall collection so he decided to use darker colors along with thicker pieces for outerwear like wool. He also loves sequins and chiffon, which was definitely incorporated within his clothes. 

-What's his favorite part about being a fashion designer? 

He thinks of himself more of an artist rather than a designer. Art has a type of exquisite feel that he tries to express in his clothing. He draws a lot of amazing ideas from his imagination and feelings throughout the day and brings it to life down the road.

Denim skirts xx LucLuc

        As some of you may have noticed, I've been creating some collections of different sets involving a variety of pieces by the online store, Lucluc.com! I've been working with them for several months now and I'm so happy that they sent me a few pieces to add to my wardrobe.
Button up skirts are very versatile. This lucluc denim skirt is perfect for any season! You can style it with a turtle neck for the fall, a striped tee for the spring, and a simple black crop top for the summer! Not only are denim skirts an essential staple for any girl's wardrobe, but they can make you look casual and polished at the same time.
For more of my latest collection with LucLuc, check it out on polyvore here!

 Outfit: Wearing a s/o topshop crop top (similar one here), Lucluc denim skirt, s/o h&m boots (similar ones here), s/o retro sunglasses (similar one here), coach bag.

Stripes and Rompers (Oasap and Nikkas-wardrobe)

Finally! A day off from work. During my one free day of the week, I couldn't pass up going outside to enjoy the wonderful summer weather.
Rompers have been a big trend this year, and with my recent collaboration with Oasap, they were kind enough to hook me up with this black and white stripped romper! I'm in love with piece and you can match it with just about anything. Check out this romper and more at their website here!

Healy inspired.

Happy Sunday! This month I've started to expand my taste in music. There's so many great artists out there, but one particular band that finally caught my eye was The1975. I've heard a few of their songs on the radio (Chocolate, Girls, etc) and I never really paid much attention to them until now. Not only do their skillful indie rock songs put me in a great mood, but their style is on point as well!

I took some Matty Healy inspired outfit pictures yesterday, wearing an all black sheer top, high-waist treggings, chelsea booties, trench coat, fedora, and rounded sunnies to top it off. 

I know, I know. I'm a bit late to join the 1975 fandom, but it's better late than never, right? Here are a collection of outfits inspired by the wonderful Matty Healy (yes, I know he's the lead singer that everyone pays attention to, but how can you not admire his hair and style?). Have a great day everyone! xx-Nikka
