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

 

Always in my heart, Zayn Malik.

March has always been a gloomy month for me. A perk of it is having spring break, but even when it's suppose to be spring, it's still snowing and cold in my area. Unfortunately, this one week break isn't starting off as planned. In fact, this week may be one of the most worst ones yet. As many of you know, Zayn Malik has decided to leave One Direction to focus on his own life away from the limelight. As devastating as this may seem, we must respect his decision and continue to support One Direction as much as we can. So, in honor of the amazing and outrageously talented Zayn Malik, I've created a collection of my favorite outfits Zayn has worn. 
Thanks for the amazing five years, Zayn. We hope that little boy from Bradford smashes whatever he chooses to do next. Xx- Nikka

A simple life, they live in peace.

Happy Friday! This week went by so fast which was a tad stressful due to so many projects and tests I've had to take and finish!
Anyways, last weekend ABC Family aired a few Disney films on their channel. I was browsing for a TV show to watch while I wrote up my lab for school and came across the colorful classic movie, Tarzan. Now, usually I'm not the one to spend time watching Disney films, but I haven't seen the movie in so long so I decided to give it go.
I fell in love with it. Not with just the plot of the movie, but the music, the illustration, the colors, and the whole idea of living on an island for all your life. Wouldn't it be amazing to live on an undeveloped land area surrounded with thick trees, plants and brush, wild flowers and exotic fruit? There would be no stress, you could get up at whatever time you wanted, and have nothing to worry about. That's the life, honestly. I've never really been a complete fan of the tropical style (brown sandals, palm tree designs, leopard print), but now I can't stop creating inspired sets!
Here are some inspiration sets I've made over the past week. I'd like to think the jungle theme ties in well with my environmental systems class where we are learning about how to reduce the consumption of earth's natural resources and avoid using harmful pollutants like plastic water bottles and plastic bags. I hope my sets help inspire those of you who live in warmer areas :) Have a great weekend! xx-Nikka

DressCast: Outfit Collaboration

Hi guys! I know I haven't posted anything new in a few months (I've technically only posted twice since June of last year), and I apologize! I've just figured out how to customize my blog and I'm finally getting the hang of it!
Recently I've been working with an application called DressCast. It's a creative app that picks out daily outfits for you to wear based on your location and the weather! I've collaborated with them this past week and I'm happy to share a few pictures of my outfits on the app: 

 

This app is incredibly useful in helping you decide what to wear every day of the week! If you're ever having trouble on deciding what to wear in the morning, the DressCast app can relieve you of your stressful last minute decisions while you're hurrying to make it to work or school! You can see my outfits and others by creative stylists by downloading the app here.

I'm already in love with this app and I hope you will find it useful for you too! Xx-Nikka

Bohemian Grunge

 Playsuits and fedora hats are a big trend this summer, so why not pair the two together to create that bohemian vibe?  Style it with a pair of ankle boots or embellished sandals, or add a choker necklace with round sunnies to create a punk rock grunge look! x
