PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!

Nakimuli is a cutting edge line that is crossing borders in the fashion industry. Tennille McMillan (the designer) creates big bows, loud dresses, and vibrant leggings that are sure to stand out in your closet. I fall more in love with her line with every piece that she puts out. There is a sense of strong creativity and passion that is present in her work. Not to mention her philosophy which is also very different from what I have been seeing from designers lately.

Clothing, both the classical and the innovative, is fueled by imagination. naKIMuli aims to go beyond the traditions of women’s fashion and explore more of the imagination, what could be rather than what should be. The world we live in often dictates what we should wear and creates millions of it. We at naKIMuli want to create a fashion revolution: replace the cookie cutter model with one that embraces individuality, comfort, and fun. Become your own trendsetter. Dream. Explore. Dare.

Nakimuli has recently launched there site and its phenomenal! I am very pleased with their new Winter line as well,

This song……. this artist……. is soooooooo beautiful! I discovered this while browsing TheNext2Shine.com and instantly fell in love with De-Lor. This is my favorite song right now. Listen to the words, I’m sure we all have felt this way.

You Are Beautiful

No matter how you look
no matter your weight
no matter your size
no matter your complexion
no matter the shape of your nose
no matter the size of lips
no matter how long your hair is
no matter who told you what

You Are Beautiful

No matter where you grew up
no matter how much money you have
no matter what school you went to
no matter how dysfunctional your family is
no matter what you have
no matter what you don’t have
no matter who said what

You Are Beautiful

You are smart, you are intelligent.
you are loved, you are admired.

Don’t ever let anyone put you down.

You are beautiful, inside and out….
and as long as you know that, it’s all that matters.

You can do anything doll. Anything you put your mind and heart to, is yours. You don’t have to look a certain way to achieve your goals. You don’t have to be a certain way to succeed in life. The world is in your hands, and it’s up to you to make something out of it. Don’t let anyone tell you different.

Don’t lose faith, stay humble. Be true to yourself, and if no one else believes…. I do. I believe in you.

When you feel as if you have no one. No one to talk to, no one to turn to…. I’ll be here to cheer you on. I’m rooting for you doll! I’m on YOUR side. I’m your #1 fan!

Be inspired, be motivated, be willing and ready to make a difference. Take charge of your life! You only have one, you might as well make it extraordinary.

Live, love, inspire, give, feel, touch, dance, smile, laugh, cry, praise, experience, educate, be daring……. take chances. Travel the world, capture every moment, live as if every day is your last. You’re vibrant, NOBODY can take that away from you!

Times get rough, we all go through things. I understand. But remember who you are. You have a purpose babydoll. That’s why you are here! God gave you that.

Now sing. Sing your song. Sing it loud. Sing it clear. You are somebody! Rejoice.

You are BEAUTIFUL, doll! You really are. I mean it. I swear, I do.

Remember that

Joy Jones – Beautiful

<3 Bionca Doll

As of tonight, I am a HUGE Elle Varner fan! OH MY GOSH! I love this doll! Her voice? amazing. Her lyrics? we can all relate. Elle has a message to deliver to the world and I’m listening. I swear, you all will love her! In the past, Vibrant Doll has blogged about her song with J. Cole, which I really liked, but I felt we needed to hear more. She has definitely impressed me and I am so excited to hear more. Who is Elle, you ask?

“Introducing Elle Varner…

Elle Varner, born of two published songwriters, spent most of her childhood sleeping on studio couches, running around green rooms, and watching her parents struggle to make a name in the industry. With music running through her veins, Elle was singing as soon as she could speak, playing the flute at 6 and the piano at 9. But it wasn’t until her attendance at AGC (Amazing Grace Conservatory) that her ear for harmony, melody and complex rhythm truly developed.

At age 16, Elle picked up the guitar for the first time. Frustrated that she wasn’t instantly as good as Hendrix, she dropped the guitar and became a part of The Hamilton Academy of Music’s Vocal Jazz Group. Once there, she learned about the complexity of the voice, jazz music and talented jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald. Elle was surprised to discover that she had been chosen to be a part of The Grammy in the Schools Mentoring Program. Through this program she was taken weekly to the Fox Studio, where she met with mentor Kelly Burgos, and President of Fox Music, Robert Kraft.

Soon after, Elle hesitantly applied to NYU with her C average and was surprisingly accepted. Not only did she get in, but also she was admitted into the second class of the Clive Davis Program of Recorded Music. Upon graduating, she was awarded “most likely to get signed” and “most likely to win a Grammy.” Four years later she finds herself a well-rounded and cultured singer-songwriter.

Currently, Elle Varner is signed to MBK/J Records, a team that recognizes her many talents; from her unique voice complimented by her guitar strum to her potential of becoming one of music’s greatest songwriters. A little girl whose deepest comfort was once found in the vibration of the human voice will soon be comforting this world with her highly anticipated debut album.”
