Getting Intimate with Ratavosi.

Posted on July 8, 2013 by rratavosi

Get A little intimate with me ! Another Exclusive offer !

As we showcased The “Nostalgic Nuances” Collection at the end of last year, we allowed ourselves to stupidly forget just how great and special it was.

Almost every collection I have ever designed and made, I’ve received comments about the dark and mysterious elements within them.

The incredible and unexpected split personality that is present and the very “Ratavosi” style they each have.

So in order to bring it back to life again and because I adore you all ( my subscribers) so much, I am sharing with you another Sneak Peak from my Ratavosi Ready-to-wear Collection.

Both Briefs are vintage styled high waist briefs. Both are Suitable for swimming depending on how daring you are Winking smile

The Black one on the left is “Madame Lola”. Only available in Black with Contrast Lace insert panels.

The Vintage Tea Stained Brief is the “Nostalgia Brief”. (black bow is a styling item, not included) Mesh insert side panels with stretch lace trim insert.

So Spoil a Loved one or even Spoil yourself ?

These Items are unique and exclusive, you are guaranteed very few people will have it !

Posted on February 10, 2012 by rratavosi

So It’s the day before the shoot and I am madly getting everything done !

TLOR HQ is looking like quite a fashion jungle right now with clothing, hats,and makeup all scattered around the office !

We FINALLY Finished the final piece for our collection yesterday – The “High-Rollers Leggings” *sigh of relief*. They are an awesome pair of DECENT Super High Waist Leggings that can be paired with a killer pair of heels and a midriff, grunged up with a bustier and a leather jacket or maybe even paired with a cute dress. What your style ? There are just so many looks, trends and cultures you can satisfy with just one pair of leggings !

I just cannot wait to share the whole collection with you !

I’m sure you’ve seen the photographs from my men’s and women’s marking day but what you haven’t seen are the new pieces added to the collection. As you all know its quite fun at TLOR Headquarters so my lovely PA and I thought it would be fun to do another “ dress up Session” – a little sneak preview of the classy craziness we are confidently capable of !

There are 6 more looks So WATCH THS SPACE for the Shoot day updates !

It’s Naughty Meets nice, an attitude Splice | RhyheartsJEFFREYCAMPBELLS !

Posted on February 7, 2012 by rratavosi

Like any other fashionista I have a weakness for shoes !

The bigger the better !

Big platforms, unusual wedge cut-outs and shapes, fierce looking features – an easy way to add a touch of KABOOM to any outfit !

What I’ve been eyeing for some time now would have to be Jeffrey Campbell’s, one-of-a-kind, YES READ IT AGAIN “one-of-a-kind” platforms. I know we say that about every pair of shoes, but if you ask anyone who owns a pair, or knows of them, they would most definitely agree with me ! Not only that, but they are so uniquely designed that you can spot a pair of JC’s from a mile away !

So in case you hadn’t heard of Jeffrey Campbell here’s a few quick notes to save you the embarrassment and awkward silence if its ever, EVER on topic !
Hailed from none other than ( my favourite) L.A
Their designs are based on vintage inspirations as well as combining runway/fashion trends.
Sold across all of Asia, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand and the list goes on as they continue to grow.

Hope that helps, however if you’d like to read more on JC’s Bio Click here !

One of my Favourite and regular online shopping destinations NASTYGAL also stocks them ! What caught my eye the most this week was these 3 pairs ! It’s Naughty Meets nice, an attitude Splice !
