Nubia's Nonsense: mishka nyc

Hello Nubians,

I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.

The weather has been beautiful lately in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's been in the 70's everyday which I consider perfect weather. The kind of weather where you can wear a light sweater but you can also sport a skirt if you choose.

As some of you may know, I moved to Las Vegas from NY a little over a year and a half now. I wasn't sure how long I would stay at first so I kept freelancing. I'm pleased to say I finally set some roots down and have my first job in Las Vegas as the Social Media Coordinator for the Aveda Institute Las Vegas and the g Aveda Salon & Spa in Downtown Summerlin.

I feel very grateful because I'm surrounded by a great team of people and the Aveda brand is in the realm of beauty & wellness which I am already obsessed with. I've learned so much more about the brand since I started my job a few weeks back. I love how Aveda is not just any other hair & beauty brand but they're really trying to change the world with their mission. They're very genuine about it and it's very much the daily lifestyle. It's all very inspiring and beautiful. I'm sure I will be randomly blogging about Aveda more because I admire the brand.

Being at the Aveda Institute is always fun and fulfilling because all the students are so excited and happy to start their journey. It's magic!!! The g Aveda Salon & Spa in Downtown Summerlin is lovely too! A great place to relax and the stylist are fabulous. Downtown Summerlin is also a fabulous place to go and get away for a while and enjoy some serious retail therapy.

Besides my grand news (woohoo) I had a nice and casual weekend. I caught up on some work, saw a fashion show, worked on some art, and well... life has been pretty swell.

I hope you all had a nice weekend! Muah!

Hello Nubians,

Something about sleek hair and dope mismatched prints, got me feeling like a bad ass. A lot of people think it's strange to wear mismatched prints but I love it. Feeling unbalanced almost makes me feel balanced if that makes any sense to anyone...?

I've always gravitated towards men's clothing. In this look below, I'm wearing a Crooks & Castles top and a Mishka NYC shorts. Those 2 brands mainly sell menswear, though this particular Crooks top is from their lady collection.

These Mishka NYC shorts are from their menswear collection. I ended up with them because my brother accidentally ordered them too small for himself... can't say I feel bad for him though since I LOVE them #sorrybruh. They are beautifully detailed and have some sort of constellation print on them. Also, considering they're menswear... I really like the cut. They're tight and show off my curves without being "skin tight". I guess a few reasons I gravitate towards menswear are... comfort and edgier, stronger cuts in the clothing. Sometimes better prints too. There's something very rugged and rebellious I find in a lot of menswear pieces that is not as easily found in women's wear. Also a sense of liberation too.

As an adult woman, I think being able to wear mens clothing and still feel great and sexy about yourself says a lot about you. I think that means most of your sexiness comes from your confidence, and that's something really beautiful. This means you don't feel the need to expose your body all the time to uphold some strange standard you were born into for holding the V-card if ya know what I mean? In the society we live in today, I think it's admirable to dress as you want and not give a flying f@ck what anyone else thinks. Besides, I always thought the mystery behind not seeing it all is where the fun lies... like unwrapping a gift.
