The Curvy Fashionista Anniversary event: I love you!

There are some people in the fashion world that have an 'never-ending' influence on me- The Curvy Fashionista is one of them. Not only am I one of the many great editors/contributors of The Curvy but the true fashionista herself is one of my greatest role models and supporters. I met Marie a few years ago during a fashion show at the Beverly Center ( possibly during FNOLA). 

Thank God I squeezed in a front row seat right next to this woman. From this point on our friendship has been full of support and love. From my run-around with VOGUE to advice on boys, Marie is there ( much like a big sister)

I love you & I am looking forward to witnessing all of the blessings and success God has for you!

2012: New Beginnings !

Its official! BlackBook Magazine, Uptown and VIBE owners have merged under one roof. I wasn't sure what was going on at first but after our savvvy shoot yesterday with BlackBook NY, I am more than on top of the scoop. I am very excited to be working more closely with both Uptown and BB.

Yesterday VIBE helped BlackBook on their shoot at Smashbox Studios with a cast member of "Mad Men". I have never seen a set like the one created on set-with a nature inspired aesthetic, the set was full of sand, fake mountains and trees.

Check out the images below!

I live for these LV's and Prada's!

2012.Seriously?

I honestly never would have dreamt of all of the amazing things that came to life in 2011.I am overwhelmed with happiness-my friends and I brought in the new year together,for once. Last year I spent NYE with my ex-boyfriend ( *throws up*). Despite all of the struggles and complications had in 2011, when I look back on all that my friends,family and myself accomplished, I think it is nothing short of a miracle.

From working my way to Teen Vogue in NYC to flying around with VOGUE in LA, it is all a blessing. I'm not really into making NYE resolutions ( because we never really keep them anyway) but I am into making progress.I pray to grow even stronger in 2012.With my amazing friends and family by my side, I hope to laugh more,dance more and cry less.

Happy New Year beautiful people!

Uplift your Holiday with Wacoal

Nyvia W | 

 

Asia Monet for Wacoal

They say that it’s ‘better to give than to receive’. I say differently! This season treat yourself to something that will uplift your best assets and Holiday spirit! Say goodbye to Target brand braziers that leave those deadly battle wound marks on your shoulders and say hello to Wacoal-the apparel line from heaven. Personally, I have never been a fan of bra’s or very particular about undergarment shape wear. Although voluptuous, I typically find something and ‘make it work’.

When asked to attend Wacoals’ 2012 private viewing at the Sunset Tower Hotel I, of course, underestimated the brand and its elegance. Not aware of the bit of embarrassment I was getting ready to undergo, I agreed to a fitting . Transforming my target brand bra into the ‘Retro Chic’ full busted underwire Wacoal bra was a moment I will never forget. Instantly my mood and ‘breast mojo’ changed- I was feeling in control while still being able to showcase my style.

I think one of the problems with lingerie companies is that, sometimes, they forget about the customer. Just because we have larger (or smaller) breast doesn’t mean we want to wear boring bra’s. Wacoal solved this heightend assumption- allowing their consumer to be flirty,conservative,bold,elegant or even a bit on the wild side, Wacaol has undergarments for all individuals.

Dedicated to providing beautiful,well fitting quality intimate apparel, Wacoal is designed to enhance womens beauty and self image. Featured on The View, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen DeGeneres show, Entertainment Tonight and NBC Today, Wacoal is dedicated to spreading the word about the benefits of great fitting undergarments.

Launching B’tempted by Wacoal in 2009, Wacoal is now one of the world’s largest intimate apparel companies.With headquarters in Japan, Wacoal’s contributes their heightened technology and design esthetic both to European and Japanese heritage.
