WILD STYLE : ULTRA VIOLENCE


West Coast by Lana Del Rey on Grooveshark











Guess what?! I am flat broke.... and have been for a while. I don't have money to go splurge on some new clothes so you know what I did... I made it work. I have had all these really cute patches for a while so I decided finally to spruce up my jean jacket with them. I have always envied heavily patched up jackets. I remember going to a party and a guy left his jacket in a bedroom and I stood there and stared at it forever.... it was covered in glorious patches! I even thought about snatching it up or maybe finding this guy and seeing if maybe I might be able to convince him to let me wear it because you know... I was cold (wink wink). Neither of those things happened but sometimes just day dreaming about it is just as exciting lol.

Besides that I also don't have the money to buy some fancy blue lipstick cause you know the 90's are back and crazy colored lipstick is now "cool" again. well maybe. Either way I just dug in my old make up pulled out some blue eyeliner, blue eye shadow and vaseline.... bada bing bada boom blue lips and it worked great! I am not the best at lining my lips but that didn't stop me either. A girl has to get her color pop somewhere and I swear I am on the verge of dying my hair some crazy color again. I don't know whats stopping me... I guess the up keep. It's hard to keep a nice color in your hair when you have a trillion other things you are interested in doing. Maybe soon though.

I have to tell you I am on a positive high... still. I really have to say it has to be the hardcore workout buti class I take once a week. I feel good in my body... I have muscles I have never had before and I am accomplishing a lot. Can you tell... I mean I haven't done a wild style post in forever. I didn't realize it but I was so upset with my body image. I just looked sloppy. I get an outfit on look in the mirror and felt so uncomfortable and it always translated in any photos I took or had taken of me. Thank goodness my sister pushed me to try the hardcore class she has been taking forever. It has made a huge difference in life overall. Just saying if your feeling like I felt push yourself to do workout class that pushes your limits, face your fears and do it. Don't half ass it either. Do it till it burns, till you sweat buckets and you feel like your dying then push past all that and keep doing it! I haven't felt this good since highschool dance team lol! As stupid as that sounds!

As for everything else in life I want to say I am sad about Robin Williams. I understand that depression can be that serious it's just hard to believe coming from such a bright soul. I really don't want to believe it because in my head it's telling me that the disease wins... I question how he died and in the circumstances if he was an alcoholic and or drug user... I would think he would have overdosed if he was trying to commit suicide. That's usually how it goes at least from my perspective. It's just hard to believe that is how he died. I almost wonder if it could have possibly been set up. I know this sounds outrageous but think about it. Most of the time when a respected famous person dies they don't immediately tell you how... they usually keep it private for the sake of the family and his reputation but they just blasted it everywhere. Yeah we could say well it needs to be announced... we need awareness... but is this awareness really the good kind? I saw where kloe kardasian posted an image of genie saying your free... and to me this is horrible. It tells me your free when your dead and that the disease wins. That is sad and I get it the pain the suffering but how are we to know if any of this is true for sure. I just had to say this and I know some of you will disagree but in this world you think you know but reality is a totally different story even if a billion people are telling you otherwise. I hope his family gets some kind of closure I can't imagine how hard it would be to understand this if it is indeed true.

Ok sorry for too much info... good night!

Wild Style: Self Love

"I wish to be nothing but myself at all times."




Self love is about having confidence in yourself and really not caring what other people think of you. When Courtney and I first started these photo shoots, which has been a couple of years ago it was always pretty awkward. Yes even with my own sister! Back then I was self conscious, I felt like any way I turned was weird and like I looked stupid. Over years and accepting flaws and learning to love them I have fun, I don't care when people look when we go out for these photo shoots. 
But this definitely isn't just about taking photo shoots, its about real life. Be true to yourself, and then you will begin to love yourself. Don't worry about others, and just do you. Once you fall in love with yourself, I promise you will forever be happy. :)
xoxo Nicky

Wild Style: Sailing winds







I have been staying busy lately taking care of some much needed business that is exciting but very very time consuming and a tad aggravating to get through. I am just really thankful that I have the courage to go through with this next step in my business because it's always been something I wasn't sure of and a little nervous to do. I will have to wait to tell you after I actually complete what I am doing but I am sure excited when I will be able to do that! I am just letting the winds take me where ever they decide to... the thing I try to remember is that at least they are taking me somewhere and not just leaving me behind.

PS the most exciting thing about this outfit is the sandals... they are Blowfish and I love them!

Wild Style: Let Her Go

"Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, only know you love her when you let her go..."






I'm really obsessed with this song right now. Also I feel like it went with this post because of the changing seasons and how I will be so happy for winter to be gone, but then I'll miss it....(probably not though!)

Wild Style: Dark Horse


 





My hair is fading with winter and it needs a trim. I absolutely love this purple velvet dress I picked up at forever 21 for 10 dollars! The Kimono was a perfect gift for my little sister and I can't help but be excited to see this snow be gone!

Wild Style: Pop That







My birthday is officially a week away and I feel great! Rather than dreading another year I plan to make this one count. I am refocusing on what I love and working hard to make it grow.  I just updated the blog design too... I always forget to screenshot the last one but its been a while so it was time for change. The last profile pic was of me preggo... Juniper is now 7 months old and motherhood has made me get back to my roots. I think I'll be sticking with the purple for a while or until the summer sun hits. I am so excited for spring and in a rush to prepare for nice weather. I can't wait to switch my closet over and take out all the winter stuff. Plus I really want to get rid of a lot of stuff thats been sitting around... so ready for spring cleaning!

Wild Style: Thunder Only Happens When it's Raining


Thunder only happens by Fleetwood Mac on Grooveshark








You ever go into your closet and ask yourself what's the craziest thing I can put on and get away with?
Well that's kinda what I have been doing lately when it comes to dressing up. It's been a year of crazyness with being pregnant and trying to find things that fit, then coming out of labor with a post pregnant pooch and trying to fit into my old clothes... all of which takes a toll on your psyche about how you look and feel.  So I guess at this point I really don't care how crazy it looks to anyone else... I am wearing it because I am ready to be me again or maybe just look deep into myself to find who I really am.

I am done with going on traditional trends at least for now... I would rather push myself to find my own unique style.

My purple hair has faded quite a bit but I am flowing with it. I had my sister take the front chunks and bleach them because they had faded to a grayish brown and we were worried that adding more purple to the dark strands would just cause them to fade and create more work. Believe it or not though the purple in the back is from the original dye job... I really can't believe it's lasted so long! I'm not done with the crazy colors yet! I enjoy them too much!
