Throwback Thursday

outfitIdeas4Every Thursday I see the #ThrowbackThursday hashtag all over instagram and I started thinking about where LoveNiki started and where it is now. Sharing my passion for dressing up has been so much fun. I’m excited to come up with new creative photo shoots and put together more outfits :) I use to think it was a little silly to be passionate about dressing up, but there’s never ever anything silly about doing what you love and following your heart.

I hope you guys enjoy this mini LoveNiki fashion flashback!

Love,

Niki

Instagram Life @MsLoveNiki

LoveCoupleLife is cu-razy right now! I’m working on a webseries with lots of talented people and there’s so much to do. But I miss you guys and blogging. I’m going to push to make more time for outfit photos (I have tons of fun ideas in my head, they may come pouring out of my ear soon).

During this time of creative madness, just remember that you can always find me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! Come join me on my crazy, yet awesome, adventures :)

Hugs not drugs,

Mom Chic

Posted in Xtra by
So polyvore went a little crazy and reposted this set about 10 times last Friday! Lol. On the bright side, I was able to fix the issue but I didn’t have a chance to share my thoughts with you :(  So here they are, a few days late…
Mother’s day ads have made all moms seem a little….boring, dull, and cookie cutter-ish. I think our moms’ deserve cool gifts that are fun & pretty & cute enough to make you hope she’ll let you borrow it. So I searched sites I personally like for gift ideas that are more than sufficient, they super chic. Below are a few of my fav picks to help get your Mom-day ideas flowing. And!…. they’re all affordable ;)

The Crop Top Trend

Posted in Style Thief by
Crop tops and bustiers are everywhere! I love the look. It’s the right amount of sexy. Plus, I feel way less out of shape when I show just a little bit of my stomach. Lol. I put together a polyvore set with affordable piece to help you recreate the look :) And….I added a few extra links at the bottom if you want to browse some of the other options I found.
Let me know what you think of this trend!
Love,

I get to go shopping Sunday! It’s been a while since I last did some serious shopping. I’m definitely going to be hunting down deals to get the most bang for my buck. That’s sort of what inspired today’s post. I wish every season meant a brand new wardrobe but the reality of it is that, I have to find ways to rock seasonal stuff all year round. It allows you to have more outfit options no matter what time of year it is.

Major props to my mom for playing my photographer this morning! I think she did a great job. And yes, these shots would have been extra cool if I drove a Lambo or something but I don’t. Lol. I drive an ’98 honda civic and I love it! It’s the first and only car I’ve ever owned :)

Love,

What’s in My Makeup Bag?

MakeupBagSpring13

1. Physicians Formula Bronze Booster in Medium to Dark |2. Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in Natural Beige Medium| 3. Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx| 4. Maybelline Dream Matte Powder Beige Medium| 5. Temy Packham Makeup Bag| 6. Covergirl Cheekers in Plumberry Glow| 7. Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara

Is your beauty budget a little tight right now? Don’t worry, I’ve been a drugstore makeup girl for a long time! I love to try new things whenever I have extra spending money but I also like knowing which products I can rely on.

Maybelline has the best foundation and powder. You get a natural airbrush finish for only $10, best deal ever. I also really like Covergirl’s cheekers blush. It’s blendable and buildable so you can achieve subtle and more dramatic looks with it.

The mascara, bronzer, and eyeliner I have in my bag keep me pretty happy but I tend to experiment with different products when it comes to these things.

I’m starting to run low on some of my makeup which means I get to shop for more soon…yay!….so if you have a favorite drugstore product let me know so I can try it out!

Love,

Renaissance Faire Outfit

Posted in Creative & Themed, My Outfits by

RenaissanceFaireThis outfit was inspired by…..the renaissance period! I love the renaissance faire so much. The costumes, the axe throwing, the everything! I was able to rent my costume there but I did purchase the furry hood shown above from a very creative and talented vendor. She made it out of ugly old sweaters, cool huh? This faire runs until Sunday May 19th and is located in Irwindale, CA. If your interested in going CLICK HERE for more info and to buy tickets. It’s definitely worth the price of admission!

Atlantic Pacific Inspired Outfit

AtlanticPacificNordstrom Dress: Here| Forever 21 Sweater: Similar| Pointy Kitten Heel: Similar 

Happy Monday! Today’s look is inspired by a very popular fashion blogger, Blair Eadie of Atlantic Pacific. I love her style and her signature dark shades. I think my personal style has a different vibe but I definitely lust over a lot of her pieces.

My goal was to recreate an outfit similar to the one Blair had on HERE while still keeping it affordable. My skirt is actually a dress so that’s automatically 2 pieces for the price of one. My shades are a $5 swapmeet find! I love them. I’ve always wanted some cool Ray-Bans but they cost way more than five dollars. My sweater was $25 from Forever 21, but everything in the photo was already in my closet so I spent $0 on this look :)

Is there another blogger’s look you’d like to see recreated? Or maybe you’d like to see a celebrity’s outfit recreated in an affordable way? Let me know!

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Inspired Look

I love doing style thief posts. They’re creative and I get to dress up…. that’s an ideal day in my book. This look was inspired by a not-so-typical and not-so-real celebrity, Lara Croft. The badass tomb raider hottie.  No, I’m not a gamer but style inspiration can literally come from anywhere.
I saw a commercial featuring Lara’s new look and felt compelled to recreate it. If you wipe off my fake blood and lose my pseudo war wound bandages, you actually have a very wearable everyday outfit. And to me, that is one of the coolest parts. Most of my outfit was thrifted or already in my closet but I created a set with items to help you recreate the tomb raider look.
I really want to start doing more style thief posts and show you how to get the looks you love from movies, tv shows, magazines and anywhere else you can find inspiration. You can send me looks you want to see recreated via email: Niki@LoveNiki.com or leave a comment on my Facebook page: Facebook.com/MsLoveNiki
