Hi everyone! My name is Rykki and I'm 25 years old. I'm a licensed cosmetologist and currently going to school for my BS in fashion. I absolutely love anything and everything that has to do with the fashion industry! I also love makeup, nail polish, and changing my hair color. :)~ I like doing my own thing and not following the crowd. I do however take things from current trends and incorporate them in my own fashion. Some of my favorite designers include, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Vera Wang, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson, and I recently discovered Rachel Roy. I like to be involved in as many things as possible or I get bored. One of my hobbies is making jewelry. I also like interior design. I believe no one can have too many pairs of shoes! I hope you got some info about me and I look forward to Trend Hunting!
What is unique that's not in your bio?
You wouldn't know it, but I have a nerve disease and MS. Most days I can't get out of bed and need a cane, but I'm not letting it stop me from achieving my dreams and goals.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
So far my favorite accomplishment is two things: Getting my cosmetology license and going back to college despite my health conditions. I have a 100% in my first course. Who would of thought?
How do you define cool?
I think of cool as being unique. I feel it's something that I've never seen before that's different yet fashionable.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
I look for things that are eye catching and different. They push the limits of fashion or whatever category it is.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
Any trend you could possibly want to know is all on one site. Not to mention you are able to post what you believe to be the next trend. It's awesome!
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
I believe to write a juicy post you need to use words that are catchy and creative. Use phrases that will catch someones eye.
How do you reset to be creative?
I will go to my favorite fashion websites and browse. I also might read a magazine or one of my fashion books.
What inspires or excites you?
For school we had a career week in November. There were 3-4 seminars a day with speakers in the fashion industry. Each one was in a different area. They all went over what they did, how much you can earn, and how much fun it is. I took notes and I will refer back to them frequently to remind myself of what an awesome career I will have.
