Embroidery, embroidery, embroidery! It’s everywhere! My explanation why is probably because you can make a statement without really making a statement while wearing them! What I mean by that is that you can still remain near your comfort style zone while showing the world a little bit of a personal twist to a basic item. If you haven’t seen my previous post about this trend on the runway, make sure you do so here. Here is the second part of it where you may choose whether to go all out or keep it minimal. So I can only wish you happy styling! Бродерии, бродерии, бродерии! Навсякъде са! Защо? Обяснението ми…

New Beauty Products – First Impressions
The Radiant Cherie is back, you guys! Exam session is officially over which means that now I can fully commit to blogging and generally doing creative stuff! After the exhausting month of January I needed a little bit of a fresh boost. What better way to do so than trying out a few new beauty products? Garnier Skin Naturals Moisture + Freshness Tissue Mask Garnier have released these 3 new types of tissue masks. They have quite a reasonable price as well. I got the one for combination skin. But I had this thought on the back of my mind that since my skin is partially oily, how is this…

Mina Goleva & Nikolay Bozhilov – New Collections
Yesterday the newest member of The Radiant Cherie team – Hristiyana, and I went to see Bulgarian designers Mina Goleva and Nikolay Bozhilov’s new collections and showroom. We were warmly welcomed by the two in a cosy apartment in the very centre of Sofia. Mellow music was playing, nice wine and tasty snacks were offered so that the guests can escape from their everyday worries for a while and enjoy what these two have created. Вчера аз и най-новият член на екипа на The Radiant Cherie – Християна, отидохме да видим новите колекции и шоурум на българските дизайнери Мина Голева и Николай Божилов.

A Stroll in Autumn Wonderland
Hey, cheries! It’s been a while since my last outfit post but here is a brand new autumn-inspired one. A few days ago a small group of my friends and I went to the South Park of Sofia for a nice walk and to enjoy the changing colours of the leaves. Not only was it beautiful but also the weather was lovely! So it was a perfect day for a photoshoot. Fall has always been one of my favourite seasons because you can experiment with layering pieces and by doing, so you feel so cosy and chic at the same time. Fortunately, this season does not only consist of too…

Irresistible Me Hair Straightener
Since summer is officially gone and the sun is no longer shining as much as it used to, we all need something different and colourful for the gloomy weather and mood we all get into. To try to set you up for the new season I have prepared for you a few fall-inspired posts. So stay tuned for that! For today’s post I have partnered up with Irresistible Me so that you can get your hands on the newest technology and keep your hair strong and shiny. I have used many flat irons before. But this particular one felt different not only because of its design but for its high-technology…

Autumnal Tones
Last week my friend Teddy and I went on a short walk to explore some not so well-known streets of Plovdiv. We ended up near one of the 7 hills where we found old houses. They happened to match the warm tones of my clothes so they were the ideal background for a few outfit shots. Since summer is nearly gone, I decided to incorporate white with more autumnal tones for a perfect balance. My off-the-shoulder top (which you may have seen in one of my latest posts) is from h&m, my trousers are from Bershka – all paired with my leather fringe bag is from h&m and my low…

The Radiant Cherie’s Bookshelf
I recently put all the current books I’m reading on my bedside table. While watching them sitting there I decided I have to share them with you. I am one of those people reading many books at the same time. Basically, I have a book for every mood I’m in. Whether I’m feeling like I want to learn about fashion (a few of you may know I attend a fashion course, so I have to read them), read something romantic, read a poem or a nice wise story – I can always satisfy my needs with the right book. I hope to inspire you to read more because we are…

Blue Gingham in the Countryside
Last week I was lucky enough to escape from the burning heat in Plovdiv and visit a lovely village to spend some quality time with my best friend – Dessy (who took all of these beautiful pictures) and her family. Since I don’t get to travel a lot recently, this visit helped me recharge and clear my mind from all the hustle & bustle in town. I advise you to go somewhere different from all of the places you go to every day – difference inspires people! Миналата седмица имах късмет да избягам от непоносимата жега в Пловдив и да посетя едно хубаво село и да прекарам малко време със…

The Red Church
I recently visited the Red Church near Perushtitsa in Bulgaria with my friends. All I initially knew was that we were going to visit a church, but it actually turned out that the church is a late roman one and is now in ruins. Thankfully, people have found a way to preserve it for longer by excavating it in 1915, and its last renovation was in 2013. The floor of the church used to be covered with mosaics and the interior was decorated with frescoes. I have taken a few photographs of this magnificent place, so take a look: Преди няколко дни посетих Червената църква в Перущица с мои приятели.…

Chokers: The Ultimate Guide – Part 2: DIY
It’s been a while since I last posted a DIY on the blog. So happy I’m back with this very easy and creative one that any of you can make. As you know from the previous post, chokers have been worn since the French revolution and will send you to the next step of being chic. They elongate your neck and give off ‘fashion expert’ vibes. Be careful, however, in how tight they are on your neck. Not only is it dangerous, but also it doesn’t look flattering. So without further ado, take a look at the easy steps I’ve shared. What you’ll need: ribbon or any sort…
