Nicky, 22, is a model, fashion blogger, dancer and professional MUA running her own online store. As a model and fashion blogger, she invests a lot of time and effort into her style and describes her signature style to be anything that incorporates the concepts of being feminine, edgy and minimal. 

This week on Street Style, Nicky gives us a glimpse into the wardrobe of a fashion blogger. 

LOOK 1: Monochrome Stripes 

Black and white is huge right now, minimal, simple and easy. This outfit is probably one of my favourites. I love this leatherette striped crop top which dresses up these lovely high waisted skirt keeping the overall look clean, classy and fresh. 


LOOK 2: Colour Pop 

I wanted to add some colour to this outfit, as I feel a lot of us stick with darker shades during this season. I think mustard is a colour that suits everyone and makes an outfit really interesting. I found this cute mustard dress by chance last week at Dilly & Carlo; they also come in other colours including baby blue which is next on my list! I think these styles of dresses can be worn in many ways! 


LOOK 3: Blushing In The City 

This is a beautiful high waisted bf jeans and sweetheart style crop top with a stunning open back detail, and it reminded me to get back in touch with my feminine side. I found this gorgeous pastel purple colour crop top from Dilly & Carlo, a brand that caters to the feminine and sophisticated lady! I really love this crop top, it makes me feel really girlish and classy, and the pastel colours I have used for this outfit makes it a little more daring/edgy which is my style all over! Overall, I just love this colour combo, very light and easy on the eye!

LOOK 4: Nice & Neutral 

I’m wearing shades of beige and it’s so simple, minimal and perfect against sunkissed skin.I kept my outfit very neutral for an airy and a feminine feel in beige, white and gold. Mixing this beautiful Calvin Klein sports bra with a beige Zara open leg skirt and I added these flash tattoos and a gold bohemian necklace to my outfit which complimented these nice and neutral shades well. 


LOOK 5: Romance With Jeans 

So this is a jeans outfit done three ways; 

1. Bohemian Casual Look 

I have always loved Levi's jeans as the quality of their denim fits and feels a lot nicer than most high street brands. I decided to pair it with saboskirt gorgeous tie up crop top. Also these classic white floral sneakers are perfect to complete the entire look! 

2. Kelly Felder Jeans with Boho Backless Crop Top 

The second look I put together is still casual but more of a dressy casual look, this little boho crop top adds a touch of glamour while still feeling comfortable. I really love the detailing of this top and how it shows off your back for more of a feminine feel. 

3. Romantic Kinda Feeling With Fashionista Floral Crop Top And Topshop Be Jeans 

I paired the Topshop BF jeans with some bold black heels with an adorable fashionista floral crop top which I'm obsessed with, it accentuates the waist perfectly! 


Style Role Model: Although she’s only 18, I can’t lie but Kylie Jenner is a huge inspiration to me. Her style is edgy and raw and I love her for that! Also a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and her old Hollywood style is classy and alluring. 

Favourite Colours to Pair: Why do we ask, “What is your favourite colour?”, “Favourite colour for what?”. I don't really have a one favourite colour. I prefer to build my wardrobe around colour. I love pastel colours and at the same time I love dark shades too! It's actually depends on what I wear and where I go wearing it with. 

Go To Outfit: Hmm I can't really tell... I think something you’re comfortable wearing which looks more feminine and shows your beautiful curves off. 

Style Must Have’s? 

- Moschino belt 
- Ankle boots 
- Zara or H&M colourful pants 
- Floral high waisted skirt 
- Loads and loads of different types of crop tops 
- Forever 21 and ASOS jewellery 
- Michael Kors oversized watches 
- BF jeans 
- Off shoulder crops or dresses 
- Makeup (Urban Decay Naked or Two Faced eyeshadow palette, YSL or Dior matte lipsticks, Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit) 

Makeup Tips: I don’t have a certain hair routine apart from the usual hair masks every month or so, but since I bleached my hair it’s been a little more dry so I have been using Shu Uemura hair oils to keep it soft and healthy. I use a pump in my hair after I wash it and I have already notice a huge difference in the quality and length of my hair which is amazing. 

As for my face, once a month I would like to do a high frequency facial treatment other than that I don't normally use any creams or anything on my face daily. I like to use toner and vitamin E on my face as much as I can. For makeup, I use a selection of MAC lipsticks including my favourites which are ‘Angel’ and ‘Kinda Sexy’, my Double Wear powder from Estée Lauder that I use to touch up my foundation while I’m out, and finally my Shu Uemura eyebrow pencil which keeps my brow look. 

Style No’s: 

· Overplucked brows - Too thin, unflattering brows make a face look weird. 

· The chin foundation line - The reasons are simple- your skin changes colour season to season and your foundation ends up not matching. 

· Overdoing the bronzer -This is a seriously overdone one. I see girls on a Friday night that have taken their kabuki brushes and just piled on the bronzer on their cheeks (shudder). Often it's because there is too much shimmer in the bronzer. Matte is always best if you are unsure with what you’re doing!
