I can’t wait to share photos of my gorgeous roommate Janina Nectara, introduced to us by our good friend Sherren *whom I miss dearly!!* a year ago. From that introduction onwards, whenever Janina and I have the same shows we need to attend, we would go together 🙂 And that was how we ended up becoming roommates in Paris!
Janina is a very famous fashion designer in Romania– and I am only too proud to show you some photos of her work 🙂

| Janina’s very good with feathers and plumes! Love this skirt!! |
She is not only talented as a designer, she is also currently the international fashion correspondent for Antenna 1 tv network in Romania. She is her best model– everything she wears is of her own design. She is trés, trés chic!!

| Gorgeous with her LV vernis Alma |

We were both in Paris when my Hermes Marwari GM bag giveaway contest was underway, so I asked her to pick out a winner from all the entries. She has mentioned how difficult the process was, and so decided that the winner be chosen randomly 🙂 Yes, despite her crazy schedule (she is getting married this July), she was able to find the time to pick out a winner 🙂 THANK YOU JANINA!! I will be publishing the winner’s twitter ID and name at midnight (April 6), and the winner has 3 days to get in touch with me at baghagdiaries@gmail.com to “claim” the bag as his/ hers. After the 3 day period if no contact is made, the bag goes to the 2nd person that Janina has chosen 🙂
So yes, tonight by midnight (make that tomorrow) April 6, stay tuned for the post on who wins. For now, I just want to introduce you to my Fashion Week roommate 🙂
If you love her clothes (like I do– she specializes in plume skirts and jackets), you can reach her by emailing janinanectara@yahoo.com , www.fashionavecpassion.com, or through her showroom at 62 Branduselor Str. Ground Floor, 2nd Apt., 3rd District Bucharest Romania.
I also want to inform you peeps that yes, she does made-to-order pieces, and she ships internationally!! She shipped out a super gorgeous black feathered jacket to me which I was supposed to wear to the Tod’s event but it just got too hot 😦 So I am waiting for the next event when I can wear her creation (I am excited for that!).
And one more super important thing that I learned from Janina after the Fashion Week rooming experience? Music! I would often play Cafe Del Mar music from my laptop and would catch her whining about how “sad” my songs are *hahaha, Janina they’re meant to calm us down*, so instead of playing the sad songs, she introduced me to Vanessa De Mata’s Ai Ai Ai, which to this day, I play just to remind us of our fun times as roommates during Fashion Week 🙂 🙂 *I always laugh when I play this 😀 because Janina and I would play this when we’re in the apartment every night before we go to sleep– it was kinda like a national anthem hahaha*
Here’s a youtube video of the actual song, which I hope you too can laugh about and enjoy 🙂
Don’t forget to “tune” in tomorrow morning at 12:00am for the winner’s name 🙂
