BEST TIPS I’VE EVER READ, LEGIT

(Source: jonathanforhire)

I think its so important for people to see the nobility in what they do. I remember working towards law school, and loving art, but always feeling like it was more suitable as a hobby. I thought that in order to have an impact on the world and make money, I had to go into a field that was credible and more “noble”.  I thought fashion was so superficial and meaningless, but what I was really saying was what my passion was, was superficial and meaningless. 

In order for me to really see myself, I had to see the nobility in who I was, what my gifts were and understand the importance of the fashion/design industry and its role in the world.  Based on the little experience that I have had, I can truly say that what you “do” is just a vehicle. You are in no position to judge or rank yourself and what you do in comparison to anyone else.  Find what you absolutely love to do and that love can take you places you never thought possible.

Love. Them.

It was a pleasure working with the Forecast.tv team as they followed myself and Travis around this past NYFW - view the video piece. We definitely had a great time during the week and its awesome that we can look back at it here. 

Found this while searching “Nakimuli” tags on tumblr. We are international! Dope.

Nakimuli featured in a Tanzanian magazine… Shear April/May 2011 Issue

This week has been insane! Between Eva wearing the coat, the Time Out NY spread, the overwhelming orders, and emails of future promise, I am exhausted but excited about life right now. And to top it off, I had the BEST Valentine’s Day in a very long while. Funny, it had nothing to do with a dude. On V-Day, I was able to go to 2 couture fashion shows!

Now I’m not one of those people who flocks to Fashion Week every season to be seen. I’m not sure what the purpose is if I’m not going to see any shows. And I’m not that much of a celeb stalker to go just to see them. This was actually my first time at the tents. And I was invited to 2 shows, which fulfilled a big dream of mine. It was so much fun! And very inspiring.

My outfit. I hate taking pics like this but I can’t find the piece that goes onto my tripod. Smh.

Went with my friend/ex-work husband Damion. I got a lot going on! And he balances it out by being simple yet chic. Love this man. 

The 1st show we went to see was Naeem Khan. My girl Amina invited me without knowing how much I love his work. We sat like 5 rows up. Boooo!

The second show we saw was Dennis Basso.

And we sat 2nd row! Holla!

And when I got home, this waiting for me by my door.

My mom gave me a bag full of junk food goodies. :)

The best Valentine’s Day ever!

NAKIMULI spotting during Fashion week: Eva Marcille from America’s Next Top Model fame sported our Dedication Coat from our Fall 2010 collection to several Fashion Week events. Wow!

So happy this posted during Fashion Week. Back in October 2011, we shot this photo shoot naming me as one of Time Out NY’s Most Stylish New Yorkers. I always wanted to be named and when I got the email from them, I was shocked. A dream come true!

Here are a couple of pics from the shoot. Of course I am rocking Nakimuli in every look. You can see more here:

This week keeps getting better…more info on my other lovely blessings shortly.
