The ball (sneak-peek)

2012-12-28T03:00:00.001-08:00

Every year at this time there's a school party which brings together freshmen, sophomores and seniors. I'm a freshman and I definitely wanted to be in one of those "famous" high school parties. But then there was this glitch, It wasn't gonna be a random party, it was gonna be a ball, with champagne and wine, 80's music, ball gowns and everything so the problem of the outfit came up. I didn't have much time so I went for the black dress, a simple velvet one with an elegant necklace , a nude clutch and high heels. Here is how I looked!!

I'm starting to make it up for those weeks of no-posts. And this time I'm showing an outfit which I really like because It's playful, comfortable and trendy. I wore my Ralph Lauren shirt that you have also seen in another post with my Saks boots. The outfit was worn in a the 10th birthday of my cousin and personally, I thought that this outfit had to take out that childish side of me. Enjoy!!!

Delta City

2012-12-26T02:49:00.001-08:00

Shopping is a must for my hapinness, I just love it! And I guess this happens to every girl. That's why this weekend I went to my favorite shopping center around "Delta City". It was quite the festive atmosphere there and there were sales , sales from which I took the chance and bought some New Year's Eve items, mainly accessories. This is what I wore that day.

Pants Koton
Boots Saks fifth avenue
Shirt Mango
Sweater Calliope
Jacket Amisu (Newyorker)

!00 years of independence post

2012-11-30T12:03:00.000-08:00

I know, I'm late but I'll write the post anyway since it was such an important event. I spent that day in Vlora and then I came back to Tirana for Rita Ora where I got super wet but enjoyed it so much. I even got to see her live on stage not on the screens like many people. Something is needed to be said , I had lots of fun and felt a little bit patriotic on that day especially when hearing our Albanian anthem and flags everywhere. Amazing atmosphere!!!

In Tirana

2012-11-25T22:40:00.001-08:00

It's 7:30 of the morning and were giving the last touch to the debate preparing which is at 9
Were exhausted because we've been studying until 2:30 am and woke up at 7.
But we had fun, we went outside on Sheshi Skenderbej and saw the parade of the soldiers (general tryouts). To tell you the truth Tirana was like in a war because there were soldiers everywere, in every corner, in every bar. I'm enjoying the view from My room at Tirana International and I have to admit , Tirana is beautiful in sunny mornings!

Have a nice day!

Maison Martin Mangiela for H&M

2012-11-23T09:12:00.001-08:00

THE Maison Martin Margiela with H&M lookbook images have finally arrived and we have them here to show you.

Peppered with the deconstructed shapes and exaggerated proportions that the French fashion house is known for, the range is bound to please fans of the label. Ladies can expect oversized masculine jackets, loose-fitting trousers, outerwear folded origami-style and dresses that drape loosely across the body. The menswear is equally as covetable, with sharply-cut tailoring and coats - one that comes in white and features shearling detailing and another in two-tone grey and brown check.

The debate

2012-11-23T08:02:00.001-08:00

Being close to the 100 anniversay of our independency means 28 Nentori High school is in total chaos because of the activity held on Monday, the 26th pf November. But on the other side there is a national debate in Tirana on the same day for the european integration of our country where few students part of the activity were supposed to take part. And i guess it's my luck the fact that they couldn't make it ! The responsive teacher told me and my friend Seli about it and we accepted. I think it's a great privilege to represent my city, we even get to sleep in Tirana for a night but we don't know what were doing yet! That was the fun part but the lame side is that I have to catch up with the program of 6 months in only one day so I better get to studying. Thanks for following!
Love always , Riva

ZARA Blazer

I wanna start this post by saying that there's a reason that i haven't posted anything lately. My computer charger died and we still haven't bought a new one . Actually I'm using my brother's computer now even if it's super slow. This week has been such a blast! I'm starting to get used to high school, to hundreds of people walking by , of people elbowing each other and of course 5 min breaks. Everything is so new to me since I've only been to private schools before. Anyway, I don't wanna bore you so enjoy this post.
I wore this outfit last night when I went out! Enjoy!!

Chiara Ferragni- The Blonde Salad

2012-10-31T08:18:00.001-07:00

I believe that dreams do come true but they need hard work and passion beside wish. And that's what Chiara Ferragni's blog, The blonde salad is all about. This site was my first inspiration for the opening of my blog and probably not only for me. Her style is always fresh and full of eye catching details which make her looks sophisticated in the same time as effortless. "The blonde salad" shows that style can't be taught, style is about being you, expressing yourself and that's what everyone wants to listen. She has been my style icon for 2 years now and I follow each post of hers where she seems so down to earth and so optimistic, living life every moment. But I guess no one should think that success comes with no work. She is one of the most famous fashion bloggers in the world, confident, stylish, daring, she is Chiara Ferragni of "The Blonde Salad".

This time I thought I'd wear something different and pass from cocktail party to something more serious and with really faded colors that I really like. So, basically the outfit is made of a precious of mine Ralph Lauren striped shirt, a Beige-Brown high-waisted skirt that I bought In a Store in Greece named Taifun, a pair of Rogue snakeskin vintage shoes (of my mom), a Newlook jacket and that's all. I hope you like it as much as I did. Enjoy!!

D&G Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion show

DOLCE & GABBANA

DOLCE & GABBANA took us on a glorious holiday experience this afternoon for their spring/summer 2013 collection - this was truly a hot summer wardrobe, in every sense.

"It was uplifting and immediately made me want to go on a holiday. The colours were wonderful, and it was frivolous but totally wearable," said Vogue’s fashion director Lucinda Chambers.

Just moments before the show had begun, the fashion crowd had been hiding under their brightly-coloured invitations to shelter from a sudden bout of rain, but once inside it was a joyous and hot summer scene. Rain, what rain?

Rainbow outfit

2012-10-25T10:17:00.002-07:00

I had no school today and that's the first great thing of this day. We thought we might have a family trip and so we departed for Podgorica, our point was to go shopping at Delta City but when we were halfway there we decided to have a lunch better somewhere in the country and then get back. And actually we had a lot of fun and it was such a beautiful day. It was sunny and actually sunny days make me happy and that's why in the first place I decided to wear such a colorful outfit. I hope you enjoy!!

Plus size or thin models?

2012-10-24T13:44:00.000-07:00

There have been huge discussions lately about the models in the industry of fashion, whether they should stick thin or curvy. Personally I think that these thin models mislead, they make women feel bad about themselves, about their weight and confidence is lost. But still why do these designers insist on getting these thin models getting even thinner? I honestly don't get it ! I would really like to see a curvy figure on a Versace, D&G or Chanel or any other fashion show cause I know that would make a lot of people feel better including myself. So why should we shrink ourselves in figures we don't belong to?!
Support the plus size ( curvy) model industry!!

This outfit is really simple . i have combined brown, burgundy, white and some coral & turquoise. It's kind of girlish but in the same time stylish because of the shirt. I'd say it's a really good choice if worn in the beginning of autumn. Enjoy!!

Mulberry Fall 2012

2012-10-16T10:26:00.003-07:00

The stellar front-row line-up at the Mulberry show—Michelle Williams, Lizzie Olsen, and Lana Del Rey, not to mention Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael (a.k.a. Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary and Lady Edith Crawley)—was a reminder that while London may be pulsing with thrilling fledgling design talent there are also some heavy-hitting brands in town.

My cocktail party outfit

2012-10-12T13:18:00.002-07:00

Tonight I was at a cocktail party with some of my friends and I thought that maybe i could show you what I wore. I went for a total black leather look since it's a big trend this season even though I've bought the dress last year. The shoes are made of black leather and have glass heels . As you can see I went for a classy look that I combined with a brown leather clutch and I keep mentioning leather! OMG! Hope you like it!!!
