New Year. Fresh Start.

Happy New Year! 

My New Year’s resolutions are straightforward: 
a) to explore the unknown b) to stay innovative c) to skydive and d) to embrace my challenges not complain about them. 

 A Personal Development Coach told me earlier this year to surround myself with individuals who share similar interests as well as values—to not lower my standards for the sake of “fitting in” with those who have no standards—or lack thereof. So, I listened, and thankful that I did.

 From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely wish you all the opportunity to bathe in passion in 2014! Do what you love. xx -ns

So, what IS nikkistyle™?

Mind Mapping! As I think back to (January) 2010 when nikkistyle.net was created, I smile with joy and satisfaction. My mission was/is simple: To blog and showcase a variety of fashion, style and beauty (in first-person). I wanted an exclusive platform to jot down [my personal] commentary as well as to inspire you—the readers—to embrace, create and/or re-create your personal style. I wanted to inspire you to take a chance and play with fashion, whether it be in public, or at home in front of a mirror.

Today I reflect on what nikkistyle™ represents in efforts to clearly think about-and articulate next steps (for building...the brand?) eeck! I can't believe I just mentioned the word: brand. That's a bit scary yet exciting at the same time, but [I am] looking forward to what's in store. Perhaps more creative consulting? Perhaps writing a fashion column (for Marie Claire, LOL)? Perhaps blogging for reputable style and beauty Websites? Perhaps developing and editing content for magazines?

Well. I do know one thing. The wheels are starting to turn faster; check out my mind map above :)
