Tuesday Trends @ 2 O'Clock

Nikki: “Hey! How are you? I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy. I’m preparing for the new season.” 

Yanez: Oh Really? Stop right there, tell me all about it...

With the new influx in fashionable projects around the city [thanks to social media] believe it or not, a short time ago there were very few leaders in the modeling/fashion industry. Nikki Poles being one of them. She and I ran into each other often setting the stage at runway shows, photoshoots and events. Most recently, I caught up with the Trinidad native. Keywords for GORGEOUS, obvi!

While juggling a family and social life Nikki still finds time to maintain her business. My kind of gal, minus the family unless you consider plants like children then yes, I can relate. Sort of, right? Never mind. 

I had a ton of questions for her and they all seem to lead to her initial inspiration and love for fashion. She found a niche in the biz, bowties! Her husband and she frequent events and his presentation most of the time calls for a suit and tie. But even suits can become a little bow-ing, right? Get it! Lol! Oh, I be cracking myself up. Haha! Okay, enough of that back to business. She began finding that less and less designs were up to her standards of unique, fun and well let’s admit it something that calls for change. 

That’s truly what fashion signifies, a big fat CHANGE. Get it? Change of shoes, outfits, purses, accessories, etc. I am seriously having way too much fun. Speaking of such, Nikki sent me samples of her recent line. Super cute! I will be releasing a video closer to Halloween in a unique piece. LEOPARD PRINT. Like really? These handmade bundles of joy are so worth the price and for crying out loud I didn’t realize they are unisex too. If you’re interested in pizazz when it comes to this signature piece, click here to see more. Oh, one last thing the girl shipped to Cali, I mean seriously can L.A. stop taking all the fashionistas away. I see what your doing but its cool, don’t forget we have always been the underdog but according to these recent stats not for too much longer…
