She was also seen posing in a garden as she wore a fun bare-shoulder black-and-white romper for the cover.

Nikki revealed that she is excited to be back in the studio working on new music and spoke about the inspiration behind her latest single Better Days.

'It was the hope for better days ahead. I think that there is a lot of positive change for women that has happened in the past year as far as the #metoo movement,' she has said.

'Also, it was kind of an inspirational thing where I was like, “Wow, this is really cool, kind of like better days are coming up and I can see it.” It is hopeful. There’s a lot of stuff that is going on in the world that is not so good and I was a little bit bummed about it. With all of the shootings [in schools], and how politically everything is upside down, crap that’s going on that’s not cool, I think we need more positivity.'

A California native, Nikki spent years honing her songwriting skills and teamed up with Rondor Music Publishing for her stint in the band Secret Mind, before going solo.

Simultaneously, Nikki joined up with the design team at Jill Stewart in an effort to sustain her interest in fashion and design.

Nikki’s line’s mix of bold colors, exotic fabrics, and meticulous detailing is universally flattering and appealing to women from a multitude of age groups.
