BOOKS.

 

Growing up, Nik would devour book after book. The Alchemist being an all time favorite, one to most certainly read again and again. But if it came down to it, she would say her perfect cozy up by the fire type of book is usually something of fantasy literature.

 

Harry Potter. by J.K. Rowling.
Wicked Lovely. by Melissa Marr.
Hunger Games. by Suzanne Collins.

 

Nik is also guiltily obsessed with reading about and stealing tips from her all time ICONS and insprittions.

 

Are you a Jackie or a Marilyn? by Pamela Keogh.
What would Audrey do? by Pamela Keogh.
The gospel according to Coco Chanel. by Karen Karbo.
Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.: Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and the Dawn of the Modern Woman. by Sam Wasson.

 

Favorite Poem. Bluebird. by Charles Bukowski.

 

MUSIC.

 

Niks’s taste in music is always changing and growing, and quite similar to her personality, it is probably best described as unpredictable and eclectic. From top 40, to indie rock, to country to french music. This is just a few of the many many artists She adores adore:

 

Joni Mitchell.
Frank Sinatra.
Juliette Greco.
Duffy.
Adele.
-------------------------
Any good top 40 dance songs are definitely a guilty (and enjoyable) pleasure.
------------------------------
The Temper Trap.
Florence and the Machines.
Camera Obscura.

 

FASHION.

 

Nik has always loved fashion. Even as a little girl, she was always experimenting, creating and simply pushing the limits with her outfits. But her passion and knowledge of this amazing form of art and self-expression has magnified significantly since moving to LA. If one had to put it in words, they would probably say Nik’s style is classic glamour with an edge, a mix of feminine and hardcore, girlie with a touch of attitude and a dash of darkness. Her fashion inspirations… Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, Coco Chanel, Bridget Bardot, Twiggy, Edie Sedgwick.
