RIYKA

OK, I am very embarssed, and feel incredibaly guilty...I have been so caught up on instagram, twitter, facebook, and pinterest that I have completely neglected my beloved blog. I have now decided that it will get my undying love once a week, which I know is not a lot at all, but considering the are 24 hours in a 7 days a week, and I have to work on 2 collections, love my husband, be a good wife, and keep some sort of social life going(that is not a viral one), I think that is more then sufficient:)
anyway thank goodness I treated myself to an iPad (subliminal advertising for apple) which helps me keep things updated, and also takes fantastic photos:))))))so I have gathered here a small collection of images, basically recapping on what we have been up to, in the last few weeks; mostly developing SS 13, which will include some print, accessories and a little bit of menswear...all new ideas for RIYKA, but completely a natural progression (and also my husband feels very neglected) the images are also from instagram, how could they not be!?(couldn't help be cynical)
