It is so much to say about Nikki Rich Clothing that I don't know where to start. Their collections is surely on the up and up and what I like to call "Diva Fancy". If you don't know who these awesome designers are please educate yourself today because this duo are surely on my fav's list. (About Nikki Rich)

Let's begin with the style featured below.  I totally adore this trendy style. This sleeveless sheer top is to die for, and can surely be paired with a pair of trendy skinny jeans or skirt. The uneven top is beyond fashionable and the mix of styles with the elegant like top and jeans work great in this fashion combo. The top is begging for a spot in my already over filled closet.

Now, take a closer look at those hot jeans below. They are purple in the front with design splatter yet the back of the jeans are black. Totally hot two toned jeans! I have never seen a pair like this that look expensive but that are affordable and reek fashion and style. It's amazing how this top and jeans meshed so well together. Totally great look!

Then of course, you have to top any outfit off with a pair of luscious pumps. Below are a precious pair of open toe blue pumps, which add a twist of additional color to this jazzy outfit. 

I can see me wearing this outfit on a night out with my girls adding a  pair of earrings and bracelets to make a serious fashion statement in this chic outfit.  I so look forward to seeing more collections from these beautiful designers.














Even Nicole Murphy, ex Wife of actor-comedian Eddie Murphy loves Nikki Rich as she wore a knock out dress by Nikki Rich in May 2012 edition of Peoples Magazines.
