SimplyNikki

AGE RANGE: 20s-ish

LOCATION: Illinois

ZODIAC: Cancer

ABOUT ME:
I am a work in progress with alot more to experience and explore. I was born in Milwaukee, WI but live in Chicago, IL. I am observant, quiet, creative, kind and sarcastic. I will add to this later. :)

MY STYLE:
I have thrift store and second hand taste even if I am fascinated with the latest fashion. I am in love with color and dont mind taking a risk. Fashion is anything that is out there, style is finding what works for you and owning it.

The Questionnaire
 

Pink, black, blue, grey, red.

 
 

Anything and grey. Black and pink. A primary color and black.

 
 

Chocolate brown eyes.

 
 

I suppose legs but colored hose doesnt wonders!

 
 

Fur. Normally skin of any kind except I have a great pair of black boots that I think is leather, but its second hand!

 
 

Shoes, but thats because Im practical and not because Im a shoe addict. :)

 
 

Fun bags, cool hats, comfortable jeans, colorful dresses and interesting shirts.

 
 

Black shrug.

 
 

Handbags but not new I love finding vintage or older ones in thrifts.

 
 

Even if I love something new I will rarely buy it new for environmental reasons. However I have spend money on graduation shoes or for other special occasions, so many accessories.

 
 

Special occasions always pose a challenge.

 
 

Im pretty low maintaince so I can be out of the house in a half hour, if its a good day. :) I dont go out much to the clubs/dance/party but under a hour is normal.

 
 

No joke not to long ago I hit up a bunch of different thrift stores in Chicago and found this vivid pink and white Isaac dress that Im going to wear to his apperance tomarrow! :)

 
 

Blue.

 
 

Me primarily, I have to be comfortable, I have to like what I see, I need to be happy with my choice. If I know some attractive men will be around it doesnt hurt if they appreciate my choices. :)

 
 

It changes all the time, probaly something vivid that is saturated with color.

 
 

People I see walking the streets of Chicago and the world. Personal style is SO inspirational.

 
 

I have always done alot of people watching so I think I was always being inspired by different people, famous and everyday. No one person sticks out to me.

 
 

Im so comfortable, can I sleep for 5 more minutes?

 
 

I have thought of dying my hair or going uber short but havent dared...yet.

 
 

A little creative, a little predictable, sometimes have some unique combinations of pieces.

 
 

Hi, Im Nicole. :)

 
 

I never want to be a cookie cutter type of woman, I always want to be creative and sometimes admired for taking a risk or being creative.

Thanks Nikki, for the kind comments. My tattoos are many, but expertly hidden! I think you should definitely dare to try your short, colored hairstyles. That's what your twenties are for!

Oh, oops, reading comprehension is a beautiful thing. You asked WHAT my tattoos are. They are: dahlias, mums, some bugs, swallows, hummingbirds, waves, a frog, a scorpion, a snake, and a really big mermaid on my back -- she's holding a peach. And the mermaid is a back piece so there is a lot going on around her -- seagulls and some treasure and stuff. She's a T.S. Eliot reference. The rest is just random stuff. Oh and the Einsturtzende Neubauten emblem that I did on my foot with a sewing needle in the NYU dorms when I was 17. Yeah, don't do that.

Hi! Just replying to my FIRST COMMENT which you posted. Thanks! But, yeah Clinton Kelly is FREAKIN' FABULOUS! I bought his book-- pre ordered actually and got it signed... through the mail. You should cut your hair short-- I will this summer. I am going for an Audrey Hepburn slash Jean Seberg type hairstyle. I'm excited! GO FOR IT!

Well Hello! I adore chocolate! Maybe a little too much! ...Maybe... And I adore Marilyn simply because if I lived during her times, I would probably be her friend and we would be in movies together. Atleast I like to think that! And as for your hair, I think you should take the chance! I get a new haircut any chance I can get, it's so refreshing! I have had every haircut you can imagine! Just go to a really good hairstylist and say "Look I want to try something new and fabulous, do what you want, but I want it to look good on me!!" I promise you will love the results!

"Taking a risk... being creative" I liked that Nikki! Thank you for your nice comments, I did finish the book and it was exceptional, don't you agree? Very liberating and nonconventional I thought. Unlikely choices in some of the photos, and great comments from I.M. of course! I especially wanted to say how much I appreciate your awareness of how endless consumption is not an essential part of style... and that vintage not only is often superior quality and style, but it is also so stylish to be kind and intelligent about our environment. Thank you for saying what you did re: this... perhaps it will inspire others to think before they contribute to landfills with last year's throw-away trend! Lastly, your photo is lovely! Best, M.R.

babes, dont give up on PM tickets just yet! hmmmmmm, maybe make friends with a public radio DJ, or SOMETHING! you HAVE to go! or, as long as you are ok with going by your lonesome, just go that night and check the ticket office for single tickets at face value. or out wait the scalpers, until the show has already started. if you go to NPR, there is a link for their live NYE concert, FANTASTIC! i know, i SO heart pandora!!! i am jamimicah on there too. but the MEAN IT people at work blocked it, sobbbbbb. and i used to get pandora on my old phone, but my new phone doesnt whatever, let it on the phone (i am SO not techy). :) nikki darling, i love ALL things Isaac, of course! I went to the Mall Of America premiere of "New in town" (Harry Connick was there!), and of COURSE i wore as much Isaac as i could fit at once. :) yayyyyyy, xoxo

Dear Nicole, I just read your lovely message to me on my profile page. Thanks for writing to me. I’m glad you like the photo I posted. You can see other beach drawings by the same man at www.jimdenevan.com. I love that you wore an IM dress to go see Isaac. He must have loved it! Vintage is so much fun and feels less wasteful than buying new. Have you ever gone to Daryl Hannah’s website www.dhlovelife.com It’s fun and inspiring re the environment. Wishing you all the best, Ruth
