Welcome back, cheries! We have recently shared with you how to style red, a few black&white outfit inspirations, a talented makeup artist, and now it’s time for jewels! Today Hristiyana has conducted an interview with a glowing and creative lady. For her, it is both a job and pleasure to create handmade jewelry. Meet the wonderful Mariela, the creator of the 8 room! Would you please describe yourself in a few words? My name is Mariela and am the person behind The 8 Room. Every time I like saying different things about myself. I always find in difficult to give an answer to this question, because it depends on the…

Three Black & White Shirts
In my previous post I talked about probably the most opposite tone in the color spectrum – red. Black, white and red, however, have one thing in common – they are a big trend this season. The Bulgarian designer Mina Goleva has created pieces to satisfy both the girly girl’s taste as well as her more tomboyish friend. It all depends on how you style the pieces! Here’s how I managed to do so. В предишния си пост говорих за тотално различен нюанс от цветовата палитра – червеното. Но черното, бялото и червеното имат нещо общо – те са сред големите тенденции този сезон. Българският дизайнер Мина Голева е създала…

How to Style Emboidery
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…

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.

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…

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…

Chokers: The Ultimate Guide – Part 1: History
In this and in the following 2 posts you will learn almost everything you need to know about chokers: history, how to make your own at home and how to style them with any outfit. Choker necklaces have been around for a few centuries. They have a broad history and have been worn by all sorts of people – queens, ballerinas and even prostitutes. But today chokers can be seen in numerous styles for different occasions. They have only preserved their main concept: a necklace which fits closely around the neck like a high collar. During the French Revolution women would wear a red ribbon around their necks to symbolize…

Sofia Jazz Festival
A few days ago I attended the A to JazZ Festival in Sofia. It was such a lovely experience – there was so much space for everybody, the music was amazing and the weather was perfect. There were all sorts of people there – from kids running around to old people who have come just to listen to the good music. What I enjoyed most was that everyone was having fun in their own way without disturbing others. From the photos you can probably see how beautiful it was in the South park of Sofia. Will definitely be sharing more shots from my future visits there! Преди няколко дни посетих…

I had my absolute dream prom with the people I love and with the dress I’ve always wanted. Today I’m sharing just a tiny bit of what it was like to be graduating and attending such a special event. I am so grateful for all these wonderful emotions I’ve recieved. Hopefully you like what you are about to see – I did my best to picture it with words and photographs:…
